following terms shall have the following meanings:

                  "ABR": a fluctuating interest rate per annum in effect from
         time to time, which rate per annum shall at all times be equal to the
         highest of:

                                    (i) the rate of interest announced publicly
                  by Citibank in New York City from time to time as Citibank's
                  base rate; and

                                    (ii) 1.00% per annum above the latest
                  three-week moving average of secondary market morning offering
                  rates in the United States for three-month certificates of
                  deposit of major United States money market banks, such

                  succeeding Business Day) for the three-week period ending on
                  the previous Friday by Citibank on the basis of such rates
                  reported by certificate of deposit dealers to and published by
                  the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, if such publications
                  shall be suspended or terminated, on the basis of quotations
                  for such rates received by Citibank from three New York
                  certificate of deposit dealers of recognized standing selected
                  by Citibank, in either case adjusted to the nearest 0.25%, or
                  if there is no nearest 0.25%, to the next higher 0.25%; and

                                    (iii) for any day, 0.50% per annum above the
                  Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day;

                  plus for each Term Loan, 0.25% per annum.

                  Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based
         upon the ABR resulting from a change in the ABR shall take effect at

$10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then

Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Except as contemplated by subsection
2.20(c), each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each

may from time to time be (a) LIBOR Loans, (b) ABR Loans or (c) a combination
thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent

Term Loans shall be deemed to have been made at such time without any payments
being made by the Lenders. Promptly after the making of its Term Loan each
Lender shall mark any Revolving Credit Note held by it "cancelled" and deliver
the same to the Borrower.

                  2.5      Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee for the
period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the
Termination Date, computed at the rate of .07% per annum on (i) the average
daily Commitment of such Lender, whether or not utilized, from and including the
first day of the Commitment Period until the Revolving Credit Termination Date,
and on (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of such Lender,
if any, thereafter. Such facility fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each March, June, September and December, on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date or the Termination Date, as applicable, or such earlier
date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the
first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

                  2.6      Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower
shall have the right, upon not less than one Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, to terminate the

                                                                              16

Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments,
provided that after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not exceed the
aggregate Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to
$10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce
permanently the Commitments then in effect. Termination of the Commitments shall
also terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make the Term Loans.

                  2.7      Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans;
Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) subject to Section 2.3,
the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on
the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the
Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7), and (ii)
the principal amount of the Term Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date (or
the then unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan, on the date that the Term
Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7). The Borrower hereby further
agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Loans and Term Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until
payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in
subsection 2.16.

                  (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice appropriate records evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Loan and Term Loan of such Lender
from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

                  (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register
pursuant to subsection 10.6(e), and a record therein for each Lender, in which
shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and Term Loan
made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount
of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and
each Lender's share thereof.

                  (d) The entries made in the Register and the records of each
Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.7(b) shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or
any such record, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving
Credit Loans and Term Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the
Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to
such Lender (i) a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Revolving
Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a "Revolving
Credit Note"), and/or (ii) a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Term
Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate
insertions as to date and principal amount (a "Term Note").

                                                                              17

                  2.8      Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time
and from time to time prepay the Revolving Credit Loans or the Term Loans, in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.24), upon at
least two Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, if such
prepayment is to be applied in whole or in part to LIBOR Loans, and upon same
day notice otherwise (which notices shall be made on the relevant day not later
than 10:00 A.M., New York City time), specifying the date and amount of
prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans, or a combination of
LIBOR and ABR Loans, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to
each; in the case of ABR Loans, notice shall be same day. Upon receipt of any
such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.
If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to
such date on the amount prepaid and any other amounts payable pursuant to
subsection 2.24. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be
reborrowed. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower
shall not have the right to prepay any principal amount of any CAF Advance
except as provided in subsection 2.12(a). Prepayments of any Swing Line Loan
shall be as provided in subsection 2.20(a).

                  2.9      Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower
may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to ABR Loans, by giving the
Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of
such election, provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made
on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may
elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of
such election. Any such notice of conversion to LIBOR Loans shall specify the
length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt
of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
thereof. All or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans may be
converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Revolving Credit Loan or Term
Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have
determined that such a conversion is not appropriate, and (ii) no Swing Line
Loan may be converted into a loan that bears interest at any rate other than the
ABR.

                  (b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in subsection 1.1,
of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Revolving
Credit Loans, provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such when any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has
or the Required Lenders have determined that such a continuation is not
appropriate; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give such
notice or if such continuation is not permitted such Revolving Credit Loans
shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then
expiring Interest Period.

                  2.10     CAF Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow CAF Advances from time to time on any
Business Day during the CAF Advance Availability Period. CAF Advances may be
borrowed in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of all Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the aggregate

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              18

amount of the Commitments at such time. Within the limits and on the conditions
hereinafter set forth with respect to CAF Advances, the Borrower from time to
time may borrow, repay and reborrow CAF Advances.

                  2.11     Procedure for CAF Advance Borrowing. (a) The Borrower
shall request CAF Advances by delivering a CAF Advance Request to the
Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) four
Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of a LIBOR CAF
Advance Request), and not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one
Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of a Fixed Rate
CAF Advance Request). Each CAF Advance Request in respect of any Borrowing Date
may solicit bids for CAF Advances on such Borrowing Date in an aggregate
principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and having not more than three alternative CAF Advance Maturity Dates.
The CAF Advance Maturity Date for each CAF Advance shall be the date set forth
therefor in the relevant CAF Advance Request, which date shall be (i) not less
than 7 days nor more than 60 days after the Borrowing Date therefor, in the case
of a Fixed Rate CAF Advance, (ii) one or two months after the Borrowing Date
therefor, in the case of a LIBOR CAF Advance and (iii) not later than the
Revolving Credit Termination Date, in the case of any CAF Advance. The
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender promptly by facsimile transmission
of the contents of each CAF Advance Request received by the Administrative
Agent.

                  (b) In the case of a LIBOR CAF Advance Request, upon receipt
of notice from the Administrative Agent of the contents of such CAF Advance
Request, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to offer irrevocably to
make one or more CAF Advances at the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate
plus (or minus) a margin determined by such Lender in its sole discretion for
each such CAF Advance. Any such irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a
CAF Advance Offer to the Administrative Agent, before 10:30 A.M., New York City
time, on the day that is three Business Days before the proposed Borrowing Date,
setting forth:

                           (i) the maximum amount of CAF Advances for each CAF
         Advance Maturity Date and the aggregate maximum amount of CAF Advances
         for all CAF Advance Maturity Dates which such Lender would be willing
         to make (which amounts may, subject to subsection 2.10, exceed such
         Lender's Commitment); and

                           (ii) the margin above or below the applicable London
         Interbank Offered Rate at which such Lender is willing to make each
         such CAF Advance.

The Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower before 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the date which is three Business Days before the proposed
Borrowing Date of the contents of each such CAF Advance Offer received by it. If
the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, shall elect, in its sole
discretion, to make any such CAF Advance Offer, it shall advise the Borrower of
the contents of its CAF Advance Offer before 10:15 A.M., New York City time, on
the date which is three Business Days before the proposed Borrowing Date.

                  (c) In the case of a Fixed Rate CAF Advance Request, upon
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the contents of such CAF
Advance Request, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to offer
irrevocably to make one or more CAF Advances at a rate of interest determined by
such Lender in its sole discretion for each such CAF Advance. Any such

                                                                              19

irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a CAF Advance Offer to the
Administrative Agent before 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed
Borrowing Date, setting forth:

                           (i) the maximum amount of CAF Advances for each CAF
         Advance Maturity Date, and the aggregate maximum amount for all CAF
         Advance Maturity Dates, which such Lender would be willing to make
         (which amounts may, subject to subsection 2.10, exceed such Lender's
         Commitment); and

                           (ii) the rate of interest at which such Leader is
         willing to make each such CAF Advance.

The Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower before 10:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date of the contents of each such CAF
Advance Offer received by it. If the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a
Lender, shall elect, in its sole discretion, to make any such CAF Advance Offer,
it shall advise the Borrower of the contents of its CAF Advance Offer before
9:15 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date.

                  (d) Before 11:30 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days
before the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of CAF Advances requested by a
LIBOR CAF Advance Request) and before 10:30 A.M., New York City time, on the
proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of CAF Advances requested by a Fixed Rate
CAF Advance Request), the Borrower, in its absolute discretion, shall:

                           (i) cancel such CAF Advance Request by giving the
         Administrative Agent telephone notice to that effect, or

                           (ii) by giving telephone notice to the Administrative
         Agent (immediately confirmed by delivery to the Administrative Agent of
         a CAF Advance Confirmation by facsimile transmission) (A) subject to
         the provisions of subsection 2.11(e), accept one or more of the offers
         made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.11(b) or
         subsection 2.11(c), as the case may be, and (B) reject any remaining
         offers made by Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.11(b) or subsection
         2.11(c), as the case may be.

                  (e) The Borrower's acceptance of CAF Advances in response to
any CAF Advance Offers shall be subject to the following limitations:

                           (i) the amount of CAF Advances accepted for each CAF
         Advance Maturity Date specified by any Lender in its CAF Advance Offer
         shall not exceed the maximum amount for such CAF Advance Maturity Date
         specified in such CAF Advance Offer;

                           (ii) the aggregate amount of CAF Advances accepted
         for all CAF Advance Maturity Dates specified by any Lender in its CAF
         Advance Offer shall not exceed the aggregate maximum amount specified
         in such CAF Advance Offer for all such CAF Advance Maturity Dates;

                           (iii) the Borrower may not accept offers for CAF
         Advances for any CAF Advance Maturity Date in an aggregate principal
         amount in excess of the maximum principal amount requested in the
         related CAF Advance Request; and

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              20

                           (iv) if the Borrower accepts any of such offers, it
         must accept offers based solely upon pricing for each relevant CAF
         Advance Maturity Date and upon no other criteria whatsoever, and if two
         or more Lenders submit offers for any CAF Advance Maturity Date at
         identical pricing and the Borrower accepts any of such offers but does
         not wish to (or, by reason of the limitations set forth in subsection
         2.10, cannot) borrow the total amount offered by such Lenders with such
         identical pricing, the Borrower shall accept offers from all of such
         Lenders in amounts allocated among them pro rata according to the
         amounts offered by such Lenders (with appropriate rounding, in the sole
         discretion of the Borrower, to assure that each accepted CAF Advance is
         an integral multiple of $1,000,000); provided that if the number of
         Lenders that submit offers for any CAF Advance Maturity Date at
         identical pricing is such that, after the Borrower accepts such offers
         pro rata in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph,
         the CAF Advance to be made by any such Lender would be less than
         $5,000,000 principal amount, the number of such Lenders shall be
         reduced by the Administrative Agent by lot until the CAF Advances to be
         made by each such remaining Lender would be in a principal amount of
         $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

                  (f) If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that a
CAF Advance Request is cancelled pursuant to subsection 2.11(d)(i), the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephone notice thereof to the Lenders.

                  (g) If the Borrower accepts pursuant to subsection 2.11(d)(ii)
one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders, the Administrative
Agent promptly shall notify each Lender which has made such an offer of (i) the
aggregate amount of such CAF Advances to be made on such Borrowing Date for each
CAF Advance Maturity Date and (ii) the acceptance or rejection of any offers to
make such CAF Advances made by such Lender. Before 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the Borrowing Date specified in the applicable CAF Advance Request,
each Lender whose CAF Advance Offer has been accepted shall make available to
the Administrative Agent at its office set forth in subsection 10.2 the amount
of CAF Advances to be made by such Lender, in immediately available funds. The
Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower as soon as
practicable on such date at such office of the Administrative Agent. As soon as
practicable after each Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the aggregate amount of CAF Advances advanced on such Borrowing
Date and the respective CAF Advance Maturity Dates thereof.

                  2.12     CAF Advance Payments. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
each Lender which has made a CAF Advance, on the applicable CAF Advance Maturity
Date, the then unpaid principal amount of such CAF Advance. The Borrower shall
not have the right to prepay any principal amount of any CAF Advance without the
consent of the Lender to which such CAF Advance is owed.

                  (b) The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each CAF Advance from the Borrowing Date of such CAF
Advance to the applicable CAF Advance Maturity Date at the rate of interest
specified in the CAF Advance Offer accepted by the Borrower in connection with
such CAF Advance (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days
elapsed), payable on each applicable CAF Advance Interest Payment Date.

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              21

                  (c) If any principal of, or interest on, any CAF Advance shall
not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such CAF Advance shall, without limiting any rights of any Lender
under this Agreement, bear interest from the date on which such payment was due
at a rate per annum which is 2% per annum above the rate which would otherwise
be applicable to such CAF Advance until the stated CAF Advance Maturity Date of
such CAF Advance, and for each day thereafter at a rate per annum which is 2%
per annum above the ABR, in each case until paid in full (as well after as
before judgment). Interest accruing pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be
payable from time to time on demand.

                  2.13     Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing indebtedness
of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each CAF Advance of such Lender
from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Lender from time to time in respect of such CAF Advance. The
Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 10.6(e),
and a record therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount
of each CAF Advance made by such Lender, the CAF Advance Maturity Date thereof,
the interest rate applicable thereto and each CAF Advance Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto, and (ii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower on account of such CAF Advance.
The entries made in the Register and the records of each Lender maintained
pursuant to this subsection shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such record, or any
error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay (with applicable interest) the CAF Advances made by such Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  2.14     Certain Restrictions. A CAF Advance Request may
request offers for CAF Advances to be made on not more than one Borrowing Date
and to mature on not more than three CAF Advance Maturity Dates. No CAF Advance
Request may be submitted earlier than five Business Days after submission of any
other CAF Advance Request.

                  2.15     Minimum Amounts of Tranches. All borrowings,
conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans hereunder
and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be
made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans
comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In no event shall there be more than five LIBOR
Tranches outstanding at any time.

                  2.16     Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each LIBOR Loan
shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect
thereto at a rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate
determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

                  (b) Each ABR Loan and Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the ABR. Each CAF Advance shall bear interest as
provided in subsection 2.10.

                  (c) If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Revolving
Credit Loan, Term Loan or Swing Line Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon,
(iii) any facility fee or (iv) any other

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              22

amount payable hereunder (other than overdue CAF payments provided for in
subsection 2.12(c)) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise), the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans,
Term-Loans and the Swing Line Loans and any such overdue interest, facility fee
or other amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case
of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this subsection plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case
of any such overdue interest, facility fee or other amount, the rate applicable
to ABR Loans pursuant to subsection 2.16(b) plus 2% per annum, in each case from
the date of such non-payment until such overdue principal, interest, facility
fee or other amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

                  (d) Interest on Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing
Line Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided
that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall be
payable from time to time on demand.

                  2.17     Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Whenever it is
calculated on the basis of the ABR, interest shall be calculated on the basis of
a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and,
otherwise, interest and the facility fee shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon
as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a
London Interbank Offered Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan
resulting from a change in the ABR, the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements, the
C/D Assessment Rate or the C/D Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of
the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest
rate.

                  (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of
manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower,
deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection
2.16(a) or 2.9(b).

                  2.18     Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the
first day of any Interest Period:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
         determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that,
         by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
         reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the London Interbank
         Offered Rate for such Interest Period, or

                  (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
         the Required Lenders that the London Interbank Offered Rate determined
         or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and
         fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by
         such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such
         Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the
Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is
given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested

                                                                              23

to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans,
(y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest
Period to LIBOR Loans, shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans and (z)
any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such
Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the
Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such,
nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans, as the
case may be.

                  2.19     Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing
of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by the Borrower from the Lenders
hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any facility fee hereunder
and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata
according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment
(including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on any Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders. All
payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether
on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without
set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City
time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent's office specified in subsection 10.2,
in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

                  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the
amount that would constitute its allocable share of such borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the
period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's Commitment
Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from
the Borrower.

                  2.20     Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans ("Swing
Line Loans") to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in
an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed
$200,000,000, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Loans
outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Commitments at such time. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the
Swing Line Commitment

                                                                              24

by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swing
Line Loans shall bear interest based upon the ABR and shall not be entitled to
be converted into loans that bear interest at any other rate. The Borrower shall
give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by
the Swing Line Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the requested
Borrowing Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which
shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in
excess thereof). The proceeds of the Swing Line Loan will be made available by
the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower at the office of the Swing Line Lender by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date by crediting the account of
the Borrower at such office with such proceeds. The Borrower may, at any time
and from time to time, prepay the Swing Line Loans, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty, by notifying the Swing Line Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., New
York City time, on any Business Day of the date and amount of prepayment. If any
such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess
thereof.

                  (b) The Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory
note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement,
with appropriate insertions (the "Swing Line Note"), payable to the order of the
Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the
amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of
the Swing Line Loans, with interest thereon as prescribed in subsection 2.16.
The Swing Line Lender is hereby authorized to record the Borrowing Date, the
amount of each Swing Line 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 Line Note and any such recordation shall constitute prima
facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, provided that the
failure by the Swing Line Lender to make any such recordation shall not affect
any of the obligations of the Borrower under such Swing Line Note or this
Agreement. The Swing Line Note shall (a) be dated the Closing Date, (b) be
stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (c) bear interest
for the period from the date thereof until paid in full on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable interest rate per
annum determined as provided in, and payable as specified in, subsection 2.16.

                  (c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and
absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request each Lender
including the Swing Line Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line
Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given (the "Outstanding Swing Line
Loans"). Unless any of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall
have occurred with respect to the Borrower (in which event the procedures of
paragraph (e) of this subsection shall apply) each Lender shall make the
proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent
specified in subsection 10.2 prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) in funds
immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice
is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately
applied to repay the Outstanding Swing Line Loans. Effective on the day such
Revolving Credit Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid
shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans,

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              25

shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note and shall be evidenced as
provided in subsection 2.7(b). The Borrower authorizes the Swing Line Lender to
charge the Borrower's accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount
available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such
Outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are
not sufficient to repay in full such Outstanding Swing Line Loans.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Swing
Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans if the
conditions set forth in subsection 4.2 have not been satisfied.

                  (e) If prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant
to paragraph (c) of subsection 2.20 one of the events described in paragraph (f)
of Section 7 shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower,
each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made
pursuant to the notice in subsection 2.20(c), purchase an undivided
participating interest in the Outstanding Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
(i) its Commitment Percentage times (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Swing
Line Loans then outstanding. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing
Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation,
and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a
Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such
funds and in such amount.

                  (f) Whenever, at any time after any Lender has purchased a
participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender
its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case
of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's
participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in
the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be
returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof
previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.

                  (g) Each Lender's obligation to make the Revolving Credit
Loans referred to in subsection 2.20(c) and to purchase participating interests
pursuant to subsection 2.20(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the
Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Lender; or
(v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.

                  2.21     Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to
make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the
commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as
such and convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b)
such Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted

<PAGE>

                                                                              26

automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current
Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as
required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is
not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to subsection 2.22.

                  2.22     Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof
or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof:

                           (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind
         whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any LIBOR Loan
         made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender
         in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by subsection
         2.23 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such
         Lender);

                           (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
         reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
         against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the
         account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any
         other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not
         otherwise included in the determination of the London Interbank Offered
         Rate hereunder; or

                           (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other
         condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall
promptly pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

                  (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender
or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
reduction.

                  (c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.22, it shall
promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the
event by reason of which it has become so entitled and of the basis for the
calculation of such additional amounts; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to such paragraph for any increased
costs incurred

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              27

more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of
the change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender's intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the change giving rise
to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in
this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                  2.23     Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under
this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income,
stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes
(imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any
Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative
Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing
such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or
such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received
a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note). If any such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or
withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes" ) are required to be withheld from any
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any
Note, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not organized under the
laws of the United States or a state thereof if such Lender fails to comply with
the requirements of paragraph (b) of this subsection. Whenever any Non-Excluded
Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the
Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the
account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the
Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a
result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

                  (b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof shall:

                           (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
         Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
         Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, or successor applicable form, as the
         case may be;

<PAGE>

                                                                              28

                           (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
         Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before
         the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes
         obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
         the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

                           (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
         complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by
         the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify that it is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a
Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the
related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements
required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant
such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

                  2.24     Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each
Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such
Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in
making either (i) a borrowing of LIBOR Loans (including without limitation Term
Loans) or LIBOR CAF Advances or (ii) a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR
Loans, in each case after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (in the case of a borrowing of
LIBOR CAF Advances, so long as the Borrower shall have accepted a CAF Advance
offered in connection with any such notice), (b) default by the Borrower in
making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of either (i)
a prepayment of LIBOR Loans, LIBOR CAF Advances or Fixed Rate CAF Advances or
(ii) a conversion of LIBOR Loans, in each case on a day which is not the last
day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or
continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to
borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would
have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the
Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

                  2.25     Commitment Increases. (a) In the event that Borrower
wishes to increase the aggregate Commitments, it shall notify the Lenders
(through the Administrative Agent) of the amount of such proposed increase (such
notice, a "Commitment Increase Offer"). Each

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              29

Commitment Increase Offer shall offer the Lenders the opportunity to participate
in the increased Commitments ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages. In the event that any Lender (each, a "Declining
Lender") shall fail to accept in writing a Commitment Increase Offer within 10
Business Days after receiving notice thereof, all or any portion of the proposed
increase in the Commitments offered to the Declining Lenders (the aggregate of
such offered amounts, the "Declined Amount") may instead be allocated to any one
or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities pursuant to
paragraph (b) below and/or to any one or more existing Lenders pursuant to
paragraph (c)(ii) below.

                  (b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity
(herein called a "New Lender") which, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a
Commitment in an amount equal to all or any portion of a Declined Amount shall
execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a "New Lender Supplement") with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1,
whereupon such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same
extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the
benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed to be amended to
add the name and Commitment of such New Lender.

                  (c) Any Lender which (i) accepts a Commitment Increase Offer
pursuant to subsection 2.25(a) or (ii) with the consent of the Borrower, elects
to increase its Commitment by an amount equal to all or any portion of a
Declined Amount shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement
(each, a "Commitment Increase Supplement") with the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2, whereupon such
Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with
respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 1.2
shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender.

                  (d) If on the date upon which a bank, financial institution or
other entity becomes a New Lender pursuant to subsection 2.25(b) or upon which a
Lender's Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.25(a) or (c) there is
an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall borrow
Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders and/or (subject to compliance by the
Borrower with subsection 2.24) prepay Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders such
that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans (including,
without limitation, the Types thereof and Interest Periods with respect thereto)
shall be held by the Lenders (including for such purposes the New Lenders) pro
rata according to their respective Commitment Percentages.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
subsection, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this
subsection cause (x) the aggregate Commitments to exceed $1,700,000,000 or (y)
an increase in the aggregate Commitments of an amount less than $100,000,000,
(ii) the aggregate amount of any increase in Commitments pursuant to subsection
2.25(b) or (c)(ii) shall be limited to the relevant Declined Amount and (iii) no
Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to
do so in its sole discretion.

                  2.26     Commitment Extensions. (a) The Borrower may, not
earlier than 60 days and not later than 45 days before the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, by notice to the

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

                                                                              30

Administrative Agent request that the Revolving Credit Termination Date then in
effect (the "Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date") be extended to the
date 364 days after the Existing Commitment Termination Date. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request.

                  (b) Each Lender, in its sole discretion, shall advise the
Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension. If a
Lender agrees to renew its Commitment (an "Extending Lender"), it shall notify
the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so not earlier than
45 days and not later than 30 days prior to the Existing Revolving Credit
Termination Date. A Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment shall
so notify the Administrative Agent promptly after making such determination and
is herein called a "Non-Extending Lender". If a Lender does not give timely
notice to the Administrative Agent of whether or not such Lender agrees to such
extension, it shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender.

                  (c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each
Lender's determination not earlier than 30 days and not later than 20 days prior
to the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date.

                  (d) The Borrower shall have the right to accept Commitments
from New Lenders, each of which shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Commitments of any
Non-Extending Lender, provided that the Extending Lenders shall have the right
to increase their Commitments up to the aggregate amount of the Non-Extending
Lenders' Commitments before the Borrower shall be permitted to substitute any
New Lenders for Non-Extending Lenders.

                  (e) If and only if (i) more than 50% of the total of the
Commitments is extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any
New Lenders, and (ii) immediately prior to the Existing Revolving Credit
Termination Date no Default has occurred and is continuing and the
representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 3 shall be
true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Existing Revolving
Credit Termination Date as though made on and as of such date, and subject to
each New Lender having executed a New Lender Supplement (on the effective date
of which such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same
extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the
benefits of this Agreement), then effective on the Existing Revolving Credit
Termination Date the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be extended to the
date 364 days after the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) which date
shall thereafter be the Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that the
Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall in any event terminate on the
Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date and the Borrower shall pay in full on
the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date all amounts payable to each
Non-Extending Lender hereunder.

                    SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower and, in the case of
Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.14, each

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              31

Obligor with respect to itself, hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

                  3.1      Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet
of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2002 and
the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal
year ended on such date, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, copies of
which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are complete and correct in
all material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of
the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2003 and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the
three-month period ended on such date, certified by a Responsible Officer,
copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are complete and
correct in all material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments). All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as
approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, and as
disclosed therein). Neither the Borrower nor any of its consolidated
Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to
above, any material Guarantee outside the ordinary course of business,
contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual
forward or long-term commitment which in the aggregate may reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, including, without limitation, any
interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction (except as listed
on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto), which is not reflected in the foregoing
statements or in the notes thereto. Except as heretofore disclosed to the
Lenders, during the period from December 31, 2002 to and including the date
hereof there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Borrower or
any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or
property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property
(including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the
consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries at December 31, 2002.

                  3.2      No Change. Since December 31, 2002 there has been no
development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  3.3      Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Obligor and its
Subsidiaries (a) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (provided, that
no representation is made under this clause (a) with respect to any Foreign
Subsidiary that is not a Material Foreign Subsidiary of an Obligor if the
failure of such Foreign Subsidiary to be duly organized, validly existing or in
good standing as aforesaid could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect), (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own
and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to
conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as
a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other
than that of its organization) where its ownership, lease or operation of
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is
in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of clause (c) or
(d) above, to the extent that the failure to qualify as a foreign entity or to
be

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              32

in good standing or to comply with any Requirement of Law could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  3.4      Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable
Obligations. Each Obligor has the corporate power and authority, and the legal
right, to make, deliver, and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party
and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to
authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any
Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party. No consent or authorization of, filing with,
notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan
Documents to which either Obligor is a party. This Agreement has been, and each
other Loan Document to which it is a party will be, duly executed and delivered
on behalf of each Obligor. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan
Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor enforceable against such
Obligor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

                  3.5      No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents to which each Obligor is a party, the borrowings hereunder
and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation of such Obligor and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties
or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

                  3.6      No Material Litigation. Except as listed on Schedule
3.6 or as previously disclosed to the Lenders in connection with the information
provided pursuant to Section 3.1 no litigation, investigation or proceeding of
or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues
(a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  3.7      No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual
Obligations in any respect which could, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

                  3.8      Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to,
or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, and none of
such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by subsection 6.2.

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              33

                  3.9      Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames,
copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its
business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license
which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the
"Intellectual Property"). No claim has been asserted and is pending by any
Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or
the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does
International know of any valid basis for any such claim, except for such claims
that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such
claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  3.10     No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  3.11     Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its
property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its
property by any Governmental Authority, except (a) any the amount or validity of
which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (b) to the
extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of
the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or
other charge.

                  3.12     Federal Regulations. Neither the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose (whether immediate,
incidental or ultimate) of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the
proceeds of any Loans will be used directly or indirectly for the purpose
(whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of buying or carrying Margin Stock
or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board.
If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will
furnish to each Lender and the Administrative Agent a statement in conformity
with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form FR U-1 or FR G-3, as appropriate,
referred to in Regulation U, to demonstrate the compliance of any borrowing
hereunder with Regulation U.

                  3.13     ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated
funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section
302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single
Employer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, and each Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code to the extent that the failure to comply could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer
Plan has occurred (other than via a "standard termination" as defined in Section
4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan
has arisen, during such five-year period that could

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              34

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The excess, if any, of
the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based
on those assumptions used to fund such Plans), as of the last annual valuation
date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, over
the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Borrower or any such
Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer
Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no
such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The excess, if any,
of the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are
reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating)
of the liability of the Borrower for post retirement benefits to be provided to
their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans
(as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) over the assets under all such Plans
allocable to such benefits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  3.14     Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. Neither of
the Obligors is an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. Neither of the Obligors is subject to regulation under any Federal
or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which
limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

                  3.15     Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.15 lists each Subsidiary of
the Borrower (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Borrower
therein), in each case existing on March 31, 2003. The Borrower will at all
times own directly or indirectly at least the same percentage of the outstanding
capital stock or other ownership interests, if any, of said Subsidiaries
indicated on Schedule 3.15 as is owned by the Borrower as of the date hereof
except to the extent the disposition thereof would not violate Section 6.4.

                  3.16     Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be
used by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries solely to ensure the integrity of the
MasterCard payment system in the event of settlement failure by one or more of
its members, including failure by one or more of its members to meet merchant
payment obligations, and to refinance outstanding loans, if any, under the
agreement referred to in Section 4.1(i).

                  3.17     Environmental Matters. (a) To the best knowledge of
the Borrower, the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the "Properties") do not contain, and have
not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or
concentrations which (i) constitute or constituted a violation of, or (ii) could
reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law.

                  (b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and
there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any
Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the "Business")

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              35

which could materially interfere with the continued operation of the Properties
or materially impair the fair saleable value thereof.

                  (c) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability
or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with
Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor
does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will
be received or is being threatened.

                  (d) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative
action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any
Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is or will be named as
a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any
consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other
orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any
Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

                  3.18 Solvency. The Borrower is, and after giving effect to
each borrowing hereunder will be, Solvent.

                         SECTION 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

                  4.1      Conditions to Initial Loan. The agreement of each

                                                                              36

                  (b) No Default. No Default or Event of Default shall have

Each borrowing by the Borrower hereunder shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrower as of the date thereof that the conditions contained in
this subsection have been satisfied.

                        SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

                  The Borrower hereby agrees that, so long as the Commitments
remain in effect or any amount is owing to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall and (except
in the case of delivery of financial information, reports and notices) shall
cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

                  5.1      Financial Statements. Furnish to each Lender:

                  (a) as soon as available, but in any event within 120 days
         after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, a copy of the
         consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated
         Subsidiaries as at the end of such year and the related consolidated
         statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for such
         year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for
         the previous year, reported on without a "going concern" or like
         qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope
         of the audit, by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or other independent

         Required Lenders; or

                  (e) The Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) default

         the aggregate, beyond the period of grace (not to exceed 30 days), if
         any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such
         Indebtedness was created, or (ii) fail to observe or perform any other
         agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness or contained
         in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating
         thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect
         of which failure or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit
         the holder or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on
         behalf of such holder or holders) to cause, with the giving of notice
         if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated
         maturity (provided that failure to observe or perform any such
         agreement or condition referred to in this clause (ii) shall not be
         deemed to be an Event of Default until the grace period provided for in
         such instrument or agreement with respect to such agreement or
         condition has elapsed or, if no grace period is specified, such failure
         has continued for five Business Days); or

                  (f) (i) The Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall commence
         any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or future

         it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement,

         it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or the Borrower or

         discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the
         entry thereof; or (iv) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
         take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to,

         (i), (ii), or (iii) above; or (v) the Borrower or any of its
         Subsidiaries shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit
         in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due; or

         Material Adverse Effect; or

declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments
shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans

become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section,
presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby
expressly waived.

                       SECTION 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

                  8.1      Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not 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 Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.

                  8.2      Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by
or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

                  8.3      Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates shall be (i) 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 Loan Document (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by either Obligor
or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or for any failure of either Obligor to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              47

of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of either Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  8.4      Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telecopy, 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 (including, without limitation, counsel to either Obligor),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative 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. The
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems
appropriate 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. The Administrative Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 Loans.

                  8.5      Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not
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 give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall
be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until
the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

                  8.6      Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the
affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
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 and creditworthiness of the
Obligors 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 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

Agreement and the other Loan Documents, 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 Obligors or any of
their Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
the Administrative Agent shall not 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 either Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries which may come
into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

                  8.7      Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so),
ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans)
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, (including,
without limitation, enforcement of the Administrative Agent's rights under this
subsection) any of the other Loan Documents 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 the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                  8.8      Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Obligors as though the
Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

                  8.9      Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders,
and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by
the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which
successor agent (provided that it shall have been approved by the Borrower (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld)), shall succeed to the rights, powers
and duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Effective upon such
appointment and approval, the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such
successor agent, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties
as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              49

any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

                  8.10     Substitute Administrative Agent. If at any time
Citibank or the Borrower reasonably determines that Citibank is prevented from
carrying out its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder as contemplated
hereby, Citibank or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall forthwith so notify
the Borrower or Citibank, as the case may be, and the Backup Agent (and Citibank
shall promptly so notify the Lenders), and the Backup Agent shall thereupon
automatically assume and perform all of the functions of the Administrative
Agent and shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of the
Administrative Agent hereunder, until and only until such time as Citibank and
the Borrower determine, and notify the Backup Agent (which shall promptly notify
the Lenders) that Citibank is no longer prevented from carrying out its
functions as Administrative Agent hereunder as contemplated hereby, whereupon
Citibank shall automatically resume and perform all of the functions of the
Administrative Agent hereunder. Each Lender agrees to the foregoing and
authorizes the Backup Agent to assume and perform the functions of the
Administrative Agent under the circumstances set forth above.

                              SECTION 9. GUARANTEE

                  The Guarantor agrees, to induce the other parties to enter
into this Agreement and for other valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged as follows:

                  (a) Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby guarantees to the Lenders
         and the Administrative Agent the prompt payment in full when due
         (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
         principal of and interest on the Loans and the Notes and all other
         amounts whatsoever now or hereafter payable or becoming payable by the
         Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance
         with the terms thereof (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations").
         The Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Borrower shall fail to
         pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
         otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will
         promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and
         that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
         of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full
         when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
         in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. This Section
         9(a) is a continuing guaranty and is a guaranty of payment and is not
         merely a guaranty of collection and shall apply to all Guaranteed
         Obligations whenever arising.

                  (b) Acknowledgments, Waivers and Consents. The Guarantor
         agrees that its obligations under clause (a) above shall, to the
         fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be primary, absolute,
         irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that
         the guaranty therein is made with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations
         now existing or in the future arising. Without limiting the foregoing,
         the Guarantor agrees that:

                           (i) The occurrence of any one or more of the
                  following shall not affect the enforceability or effectiveness
                  of this Section 9 in accordance with its terms or

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

                  affect, limit, reduce, discharge or terminate the liability of
                  the Guarantor, or the rights, remedies, powers and privileges
                  of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, under this Section
                  9.1:

                                    (A) any modification or amendment (including
                           without limitation by way of amendment, extension,
                           renewal or waiver), or any acceleration or other
                           change in the time for payment or performance of the
                           terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed
                           Obligations or any Loan Document, or any other
                           agreement or instrument whatsoever relating thereto,
                           or any modification of the Commitments;

                                    (B) any release, termination, waiver,
                           abandonment, lapse or expiration, subordination or
                           enforcement of the liability of any other guarantee
                           of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

                                    (C) any application of the proceeds of any
                           other guarantee (including without limitation the
                           obligations of any other guarantor of all or any part
                           of the Guaranteed Obligations) to all or any part of
                           the Guaranteed Obligations in any such manner and to
                           such extent as the Administrative Agent may
                           determine;

                                    (D) any release of any other Person
                           (including without limitation any other guarantor
                           with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed
                           Obligations) from any personal liability with respect
                           to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

                                    (E) any settlement, compromise, release,
                           liquidation or enforcement, upon such terms and in
                           such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine
                           or as applicable law may dictate, of all or any part
                           of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee
                           of (including without limitation any letter of credit

                           (iii) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
                  Guarantor expressly waives, for the benefit of the

                  or other agreement or instrument referred to herein or

                  (c) Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor under this
         Section 9 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that
         for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect
         of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
         restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as
         a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or

         other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security

         in Section 7 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
         payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 7) for purposes
         of Section 9(a), notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
         prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from

each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, this subsection), the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation, the
non-duplicative documented allocated cost of in-house counsel) to each Lender
and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold
harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
"Indemnitee") from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all
liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp,
excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable
in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or
administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of,
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d)
to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and
all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) with respect
to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, this subsection), the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the foregoing
or any of the foregoing relating to any actual or proposed use of proceeds of
the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of either Obligor, any of their
Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or arising out of the Commitments (all the
foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"),
provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee
with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Borrower 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 any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential

                                                                              56

damages. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                  10.6     Successors and Assigns; Participations and
Assignments.

                  (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,
except that neither Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each
Lender.

                  (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one
or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any
Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment or Swing Line Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. 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 Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, 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 other Loan Documents. No Lender shall
be entitled to create in favor of any Participant, in the participation
agreement pursuant to which such Participants participating interest shall be
created or otherwise, any right to vote on, consent to or approve any matter
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for those specified
in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the proviso to subsection 10.1. The Borrower
agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement 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 to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a Lender under this Agreement, 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 subsection 10.7(a) as fully
as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.23 with
respect to its participation in the Commitments, Swing Line Commitments and the
Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the
case of subsection 2.23, such Participant shall have complied with the
requirements of said subsection and provided, further, that no Participant shall
be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such subsection 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) Subject to the provisions of subsection 10.6(d) relating
to the assignment of CAF Advances, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
and from time to time assign to one or more banks or other financial
institutions (an "Assignee") all or any part of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that

                           (i) except in the case of an assignment (A) to a
         Lender or subject to giving prior written notice thereof to the
         Borrower and the Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of a Lender which
         is a bank or financial institution or (B) of CAF Advances, each of the
         Administrative Agent and (except when a Default or Event of Default
         shall have occurred and be continuing) the Borrower must give its
         consent to such assignment (which in each case shall not be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed);

                           (ii) the Swing Line Lender may not transfer any
         portion of the Swing Line Commitment without the consent of the
         Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

                           (iii) in the case of any assignment to an additional
         bank or financial institution that is not a Lender or an Affiliate
         thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the
         aggregate amount of the Commitments and Swing Line Commitments being
         assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and
         obligations of the assigning Lender, the sum of the aggregate principal
         amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the Commitments and
         Swing Line Commitments remaining with the assigning Lender are each not
         less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the
         Borrower and the Administrative Agent); and

                           (iv) such assignment shall be evidenced by an
         Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit H,
         executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of
         an Assignee that is not then 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.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the
effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the
Assignee 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 or Swing Line 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 any provision of this
paragraph (c) and paragraph (f) of this subsection, the consent of the Borrower
shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the
assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered
by the Borrower, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the
events described in Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing.

                  (d) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from
time to time assign to one or more banks or other entities ("CAF Advance
Assignees") any CAF Advance owing to such Lender, pursuant to a CAF Advance
Assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 attached hereto, executed
by the assignor Lender and the CAF Advance Assignee. Upon such execution, from
and after the date of such CAF Advance Assignment, the CAF Advance Assignee
shall, to the extent of the assignment provided for in such CAF Advance
Assignment, be deemed to have the same rights and benefits of payment and
enforcement with respect to such CAF Advance and

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              58

the same rights of set-off and obligation to share pursuant to subsection 10.7
as it would have had if it were a Lender hereunder; provided that unless such
CAF Advance Assignment shall otherwise specify and a copy of such CAF Advance
Assignment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(e),
the assignor thereunder shall act as collection agent for the CAF Advance
Assignee thereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall pay all amounts received
from the Borrower which are allocable to the assigned CAF Advance directly to
such assignor without any further liability to such CAF Advance Assignee. A CAF
Advance Assignee under a CAF Advance Assignment shall not, by virtue of such CAF
Advance Assignment, become a party to this Agreement or have any rights to
consent to or refrain from consenting to any amendment, waiver or other
modification of any provision of this Agreement or any related document;
provided that (x) the assignor under such CAF Advance Assignment and such CAF
Advance Assignee may, in their discretion, agree between themselves upon the
manner in which such assignor will exercise its rights under this Agreement and
any related document except no Lender shall sell any CAF Advance pursuant to
which the CAF Advance Assignee shall have rights to approve any amendment or
waiver to this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i)
reduce the principal amount of any CAF Advance which has been assigned to such
CAF Advance Assignee, (ii) reduce the rate of interest on any such CAF Advance
or any fees payable in connection with such CAF Advance or (iii) extend the time
of payment of principal or, or interest on, any such CAF Advance or any other
amount owing under this Agreement and in connection with such CAF Advance, and
(y) if a copy of such CAF Advance Assignment shall have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in
accordance with subsection 10.6(e), neither the principal amount of, the
interest rate on, nor the maturity date of, any CAF Advance assigned to such CAF
Advance Assignee thereunder will be modified without the written consent of such
CAF Advance Assignee. If a CAF Advance Assignee has caused a CAF Advance
Assignment to be recorded in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(e),
such CAF Advance Assignee may thereafter, in the ordinary course of its business
and in accordance with applicable law, assign the CAF Advance assigned to it to
any Lender, to any affiliate or subsidiary of such CAF Advance Assignee or to
any other financial institution with the consent of the Borrower (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld), and the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any such assignment by a CAF Advance
Assignee. Except in accordance with the preceding sentence, CAF Advances may not
be further assigned by a CAF Advance Assignee, subject to any legal or
regulatory requirement that the CAF Advance Assignee's assets must remain under
its control.

                  (e) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall
maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection
10.2 a 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
and the Commitment of, and 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 manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not
evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner
thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other
obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon
appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the

                                                                              59

Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

                  (f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is
not then 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 $3,000 and (if the Assignee is not a Lender)
delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Assignee's Administrative
Questionnaire, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such
Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on 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.

                  (g) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any
Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee
any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates which has been delivered to such
Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to
this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Lender's credit
evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming
a party to this Agreement.

                  (h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of
Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do
not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without
limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

                  10.7     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 7(f), 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 and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to
either Obligor, any such notice being expressly waived by each of them to the
extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by
either Obligor hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or

                                                                              60

agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Obligor; provided
that no such set-off and application may be made against deposits in the
accounts listed on Schedule 10.7(b) attached hereto. Each Lender agrees promptly
to notify such Obligor and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

                  10.8     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one
or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile transmission), 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
International and the Administrative Agent.

                  10.9     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.

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

                  10.11    Termination of Commitments and Swing Line
Commitments. The Commitments and Swing Line Commitments shall terminate if the
conditions to closing set forth in subsection 4.1 shall not be satisfied on or
before June 30, 2003.

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

                  10.13    Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Obligor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

                  (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
         proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
         which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
         in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
         Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for
         the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any
         thereof;

                  (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought
         in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
         have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or
         that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and
         agrees not to plead or claim the same;

                  (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or
         proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
         certified mail (or any substantially similar

         subsection 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative
         Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

                  (d) 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

                  (e) 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 subsection any special, exemplary, punitive or
         consequential damages.

                  10.14    Acknowledgements. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges
that:

                  (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation,
         execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

                  (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any
         fiduciary relationship with or duty to it arising out of or in
         connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and
         the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand,
         and the Obligors, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
         therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

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

                  10.15    WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OBLIGOR, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY

                  10.16    Confidentiality. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the

Lender's Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents

                               MATERIAL LITIGATION

         MasterCard Incorporated is a party to litigation with respect to a
variety of matters in the ordinary course of business. Except as described
below, MasterCard does not believe that any litigation to which it is a party
may have a material adverse impact on its business or prospects.

         1.       Department of Justice Antitrust Litigation.

         In October 1998, the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed
suit against MasterCard International, Visa U.S.A., Inc. and Visa International
Corp ("Visa") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
alleging that both MasterCard's and Visa's governance structure and policies
violated U.S. federal antitrust laws. First, the DOJ claimed that "dual
governance" -- the situation where a financial institution has a representative
on the board of directors of MasterCard or Visa while a portion of its card
portfolio is issued under the brand of the other association-- was
anti-competitive and acted to limit innovation within the payment card industry.
At the same time, the DOJ conceded that "dual issuance"-- a term describing the
structure of the bank card industry in the United States in which a single
financial institution can issue both MasterCard and Visa branded cards-- was
pro-competitive. Second, the DOJ challenged MasterCard's Competitive Programs
Policy ("CPP") and a Visa bylaw provision that prohibit financial institutions
participating in the respective associations from issuing competing proprietary
payment cards (such as American Express or Discover). The DOJ alleged that
MasterCard's CPP and Visa's bylaw provision acted to restrain competition.

         MasterCard denied the DOJ's allegations. MasterCard believes that both
"dual governance" and the CPP are pro-competitive and fully consistent with U.S.
federal antitrust law.

         A bench trial concerning the DOJ's allegations was concluded on August
22, 2000. On October 9, 2001, the district court judge issued an opinion
upholding the legality and pro-competitive nature of dual governance. In so
doing, the judge specifically found that MasterCard and Visa have competed
vigorously over the years, that prices to consumers have dropped dramatically,
and that MasterCard has fostered rapid innovations in systems, product offerings
and services.

         However, the judge also held that MasterCard's CPP and the Visa bylaw
constitute unlawful restraints of trade under the federal antitrust laws. The
judge found that the CPP and Visa bylaw weakened competition and harmed
consumers by preventing competing proprietary payment card networks such as
American Express and Discover from entering into agreements with banks to issue
cards on their networks. In reaching this decision, the judge found that two
distinct markets-- a credit and charge card issuing market and a network
services market-- existed in the United States, and that both MasterCard and
Visa had market power in the network market. MasterCard strongly disputes these
findings and believes that the DOJ failed, among other things, to demonstrate
that U.S. consumers have been harmed by the CPP.

         On November 26, 2001, the judge issued a final judgment that orders
MasterCard to repeal the CPP insofar as it applies to issuers and enjoins
MasterCard from enacting or enforcing

any bylaw, rule, policy or practice that prohibits its issuers from issuing
general purpose credit or debit cards in the United States on any other general
purpose card network. The judge also concluded that during the period in which
the CPP was in effect, MasterCard was able to "lock up" certain members by
entering into long-term agreements with them pursuant to which the members
committed to maintain a certain percentage of their general purpose card volume,
new card issuance or total number of cards in force in the United States on
MasterCard's network. Accordingly, the final judgment provides that there will
be a period (commencing on the effective date of the judgment and ending on the
later of two years from that date or two years from the resolution of any final
appeal) during which MasterCard will be required to permit any issuer with which
it entered into such an agreement prior to the effective date of the final
judgment to terminate that agreement without penalty, provided that the reason
for the termination is to permit the issuer to enter into an agreement with
American Express or Discover. MasterCard would be free to apply to the district
court to recover funds paid but not yet earned under any terminated agreement.
The final judgment imposes parallel requirements on Visa. The judge explicitly
provided that MasterCard and Visa would be free to enter into new partnership or
member business agreements in the future.

         MasterCard believes that is has a strong legal basis to challenge the
judge's ruling with respect to the CPP, and has appealed the decision on that
count. On February 6, 2002, the judge issued an order granting MasterCard's and
Visa's motion to stay the final judgment pending appeal. MasterCard, the DOJ and
other parties to the DOJ antitrust litigation completed their submission of
appellate briefs to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in late August 2002.
Oral argument on the appeal of the U.S. District Court's decision in this case
was held on May 8, 2003. The three-judge panel of the Second Circuit reserved
decision.

         2.       Merchant Antitrust Litigation.

         Commencing in October 1996, several putative class action suits were
brought by a number of U.S. merchants-- including Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Sears
Roebuck & Co., Inc., The Limited Inc. and Safeway, Inc.--against MasterCard
International and Visa U.S.A., Inc. challenging certain aspects of the payment
card industry under U.S. federal antitrust law. Those suits were later
consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
The plaintiffs challenged MasterCard's "Honor All Cards" rule (and a similar
Visa rule), which ensures universal acceptance for consumers by requiring
merchants who accept MasterCard cards to accept for payment every validly
presented MasterCard card. Plaintiffs claimed that MasterCard and Visa
unlawfully tied acceptance of debit cards to acceptance of credit cards. In
essence, the merchants desired the ability to reject off-line, signature-based
debit transactions (for example, MasterCard card transactions) in favor of other
payment forms, including on-line, PIN-based debit transactions (for example,
Maestro or regional ATM network transactions) which generally impose lower
transaction costs for merchants. The plaintiffs also claimed that MasterCard and
Visa conspired to monopolize what they characterized as the point-of-sale debit
card market, thereby suppressing the growth of regional networks such as ATM
payment systems. Plaintiffs alleged that the plaintiff class had been forced to
pay unlawfully high prices for debit and credit card transactions as a result of
the alleged tying arrangement and monopolization practices.

         MasterCard denies the merchant allegations. MasterCard believes that
the "Honor All Cards" rule and MasterCard practices with respect to debit card
programs in the United States are pro-competitive and fully consistent with U.S.
federal antitrust law.

         On February 22, 2000, the district court granted the plaintiffs' motion
for class certification. MasterCard and Visa subsequently appealed the decision
to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. On October 17, 2001, a three-judge panel
affirmed the lower court decision by a two-to-one majority. MasterCard filed a
petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court on April 3, 2002.,
which was denied on June 6, 2002. A trial date of April 28, 2003 was set for the
commencement of this litigation.

         Based upon publicly available information, the plaintiffs previously
have asserted damage claims in this litigation of approximately $8 billion,
before any trebling under U.S. federal antitrust law. Other public estimates
(including estimates set forth in the dissenting opinion of the Second Circuit)
place the plaintiffs' estimated damage claims at approximately $50 billion to
$100 billion, depending on the source. In addition, the plaintiffs' damage
claims could have been materially higher than these amounts as a result of the
passage of time and substantive changes in the theory of damages presented by
the plaintiffs.

         On April 30, 2003, in lieu of proceeding with trial, MasterCard signed
a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with plaintiffs in this litigation. In the
MOU, MasterCard and plaintiffs reached an agreement in principle, subject to
execution of a final settlement agreement and approval by the Court, to settle
all claims against MasterCard and its affiliates and members resulting from this
lawsuit. As part of the settlement, MasterCard agreed to take the following
actions:

         -        MasterCard will pay into a settlement fund $100 million per
                  year over the next ten years. These payments are due by
                  December 22 of each year, except for the first year in which
                  $10 million is due within thirty days of execution of the
                  final settlement agreement and the balance is due by December
                  22, 2003.

         -        MasterCard will permit merchants to elect not to accept
                  MasterCard-branded, signature-based debit cards issued in the
                  United States, while still accepting MasterCard-branded credit
                  and charge cards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MasterCard
                  may adopt and enforce an "honor all cards rule" that requires
                  merchants who choose to accept MasterCard-branded debit cards
                  to accept all MasterCard-branded debit cards. In addition,
                  MasterCard may implement an "honor all cards" rule with
                  respect to all MasterCard-branded cards not coming within the
                  definition of debit cards, including credit and charge cards.
                  MasterCard must adopt rules implementing these requirements as
                  of forty-five days after the effective date of the Court order
                  approving the settlement or January 1, 2004, whichever is
                  earlier.

         -        MasterCard will require issuers of MasterCard-branded debit
                  cards to place the word "Debit" or a similar term on the face
                  of those cards and to allow those cards to be identified
                  through electronic terminals. MasterCard must adopt rules
                  implementing these requirements as of forty-five days after
                  the effective date of the Court order approving the settlement
                  or January 1, 2004, whichever is earlier. The rules must
                  require issuers to make the changes within the normal
                  reissuance cycles for existing cards, provided that MasterCard
                  must cause 80 percent of all outstanding MasterCard-branded
                  debit cards to be compliant with these requirements within 18
                  months of the earlier of the effective date of the Court order
                  approving the settlement or January 1, 2004, and the remainder
                  to be compliant within 36 months of

<PAGE>

                  such time. MasterCard remains free to adopt a new brand or
                  program name for MasterCard-branded debit cards, provided that
                  this is done in a uniform and consistent manner.

         -        MasterCard will provide acquiring banks, upon request, signage
                  for merchant use at the point of sale and at the entrance to
                  stores communicating the fact that a given merchant accepts
                  MasterCard-branded debit cards. The signage must be provided
                  as of ninety days after the effective date of the Court order
                  approving the settlement or January 1, 2004, whichever is
                  earlier.

         -        On or before August 1, 2003, MasterCard will set a separate
                  interchange rate for MasterCard-branded debit cards that
                  reduces current interchange rates by at least one-third.
                  MasterCard expects to adopt a new interchange rate by this
                  deadline that will incent both issuance and acceptance of
                  MasterCard- branded debit cards. To compensate merchants for
                  the time it will take MasterCard to implement the new
                  interchange rates, MasterCard will pay $25 million into the
                  settlement account in 2003, in addition to the payment amounts
                  described above.

         -        MasterCard will not enact rules that prohibit merchants from
                  encouraging or steering MasterCard-branded debit cardholders
                  to use other forms of payment or that prohibit merchants from
                  providing a discount to consumers who pay by any other form of
                  payment. Presently MasterCard does not have such rules in
                  force.

         MasterCard denies all claims in the lawsuit and nothing in the MOU
constitutes an admission of wrongdoing or liability by MasterCard.

         MasterCard entered into a final settlement agreement with plaintiffs in
this litigation on June 4, 2003 on substantially the same terms as described
above. On or about June 9, 2003, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking preliminary
approval of the settlement by the judge. Provided preliminary approval is
granted, notice will then be sent to class members, giving them the opportunity
to object to the settlement. New merchants who were not previously sent a copy
of class notice in 2002 will be given the opportunity to opt out of the class. A
hearing on the fairness of the proposed settlement has been set for September
25, 2003.

         There are consumer class actions pending in three state courts related
to the merchant antitrust lawsuit that have been stayed pending developments in
this litigation. In addition, several lawsuits have been commenced by merchants
who have opted not to participate in the merchant antitrust lawsuit, including
CVS, Meijer Stores, Toys "R" Us, Giant Eagle and Home Depot. MasterCard is
seeking to have all of these cases transferred to the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of New York. Neither the consumer class actions nor the
"opt out" merchant litigations are covered by the terms of the final settlement
agreement.

         3.       Currency Conversion Litigation.

         MasterCard International, together with Visa U.S.A., Inc. and Visa
International Corp., are defendants in a state court lawsuit pending in
California. The lawsuit alleges that MasterCard and Visa wrongfully imposed an
asserted one percent currency conversion "fee" on every credit card transaction
by U.S. MasterCard and Visa cardholders involving the purchase of goods or

<PAGE>

services in a foreign country, and that such alleged "fee" is unlawful. This
action, titled Schwartz v. Visa Int'l Corp., et al., was brought in the Superior
Court of California in February 2000, purportedly on behalf of the general
public. Trial of the Schwartz matter commenced on May 20, 2002 and concluded on
November 27, 2002. The Schwartz action claims that the alleged "fee" grossly
exceeds any costs the defendants might incur in connection with currency
conversions relating to credit card purchase transactions made in foreign
countries and is not properly disclosed to cardholders. Plaintiffs seek to
prevent defendants from continuing to engage in, use or employ the alleged
practice of charging and collecting the asserted one percent currency conversion
"fee" and from charging any type of purported currency conversion "fee" without
providing a clear, obvious and comprehensive notice that a fee will be charged.
Plaintiffs also request an order (1) requiring defendants to fund a corrective
advertising campaign; and (2) awarding restitution of the monies allegedly
wrongfully acquired by imposing the purported currency conversion "fee". The
complaints assert that, during the four-year period that preceded the respective
lawsuits, MasterCard collected approximately $200 million as a result of
allegedly imposing the claimed one percent currency conversion "fee". MasterCard
denies these allegations.

         On February 5, 2003, the trial court judge issued a preliminary
decision in the Schwartz matter. In his decision, the trial judge found that
MasterCard's currency conversion process does not violate the Truth In Lending
Act or regulations, nor is it unconscionably priced under California law.
However, the judge found that the practice is deceptive under California state
law, and ordered that MasterCard mandate that members disclose the currency
conversion process to cardholders in cardholder agreements, applications,
solicitations and monthly billing statements. The judge also ordered unspecified
restitution to California cardholders. Following objections and a hearing, on
April 8, 2003 the trial court judge issued a final decision containing
substantially the same terms as the preliminary decision. The final decision
does not specify a monetary amount of restitution to be paid to plaintiffs. On
May 13, 2003, MasterCard submitted its proposed plan for restitution, advocating
a "claims made" approach whereby cardholders would be required to come forward
and demonstrate that they believe they are entitled to restitution. Plaintiffs
are permitted to take up to five additional depositions of MasterCard witnesses
on topics related to the restitution plan, and must file their responsive papers
in July 2003. A hearing will be held on the restitution process in August 2003.
MasterCard presently intends to appeal the decision on a number of grounds once
a final judgment is entered.

         In addition, MasterCard has been served with complaints in state courts
in New York, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois
seeking to, in effect, extend the judge's decision in the Schwartz matter to
MasterCard cardholders outside of California.

         MasterCard International, Visa U.S.A., Inc., Visa International Corp.,
several member banks including Citibank (South Dakota), N.A., Citibank (Nevada),
N.A., Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. (USA), MBNA, and
Diners Club are defendants in a number of federal putative class actions that
allege, among other things, violations of federal antitrust laws based on the
asserted one percent currency conversion "fee".

         Pursuant to an order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation,
the federal complaints have been consolidated in MDL No. 1409 before Judge
William H. Pauley III in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York. In January 2002, the federal plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended
Complaint ("MDL Complaint") adding MBNA Corporation and MBNA America Bank, N.A.
as defendants. This pleading asserts two theories of antitrust

<PAGE>

conspiracy under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1: (i) an
alleged "inter-association" conspiracy among MasterCard (together with its
members), Visa (together with its members) and Diners Club to fix currency
conversion "fees" allegedly charged to cardholders of "no less than 1% of the
transaction amount and frequently more;" and (ii) two alleged
"intra-association" conspiracies, whereby each of Visa and MasterCard is claimed
separately to have conspired with its members to fix currency conversion "fees"
allegedly charged to cardholders of "no less than 1% of the transaction amount"
and "to facilitate and encourage institution -- and collection -- of second tier
currency conversion surcharges." The MDL Complaint also asserts that the alleged
currency conversion "fees" have not been disclosed as required by the Truth In
Lending Act and Regulation Z.

         Defendants have moved to dismiss the MDL Complaint. Oral argument on
that motion was held on June 21, 2002 and Judge Pauley reserved decision.
Pending determination of defendants' motion to dismiss, the parties may engage
in discovery except for non-custodial depositions. No trial date has been set.

         4.       Global Interchange Proceedings.

         Interchange fees represent a sharing of payment system costs among the
financial institutions participating in a four-party payment card system such as
MasterCard's. Generally, interchange fees are paid by the merchant bank (the
"acquirer") to the cardholder bank (the "issuer") in connection with
transactions initiated with the payment system's cards. These fees reimburse the
issuer for a portion of the costs incurred by it in providing services which are
of benefit to all participants in the system, including acquirers and merchants.
MasterCard establishes a multilateral interchange fee ("MIF") in certain
circumstances as a default fee that applies when there is no other interchange
fee arrangement between the issuer and the acquirer. MasterCard establishes a
variety of MIF rates depending on such considerations as the location and the
type of transaction, and collects the MIF on behalf of the institutions entitled
to receive it, but does not itself receive the MIF. As described more fully
below, MIFs are subject to regulatory or legal review and/or challenges in a
number of jurisdictions.

         European Union. In September 2000, the European Commission issued a
"Statement of Objections" challenging Visa International's cross-border MIF
under European Community competition rules. On July 24, 2002, the European
Commission announced its decision to exempt the Visa MIF from these rules based
on certain changes proposed by Visa to its MIF. Among other things, in
connection with the exemption order, Visa agreed to adopt a cost-based
methodology for calculating its MIF similar to the methodology employed by
MasterCard, which considers the costs of certain specified services provided by
issuers, and to reduce its MIF rates for debit and credit transactions to
amounts at or below certain specified levels.

         Although MasterCard Europe is not an addressee of the Statement of
Objections, its rules also contain a cross-border MIF. MasterCard Europe intends
to engage in discussions with the European Commission in order to determine
under what conditions the European Commission would grant a formal exemption or
comfort letter for MasterCard Europe's MIF. Because the cross-border MIF
constitutes an essential element of MasterCard Europe's operations, changes to
it could significantly impact MasterCard International's European members and
the MasterCard business in Europe. At this time, it is not possible to determine
what action the European Commission will take with respect to MasterCard
Europe's MIF.

<PAGE>

         United Kingdom Office of Fair Trading. On September 25, 2001, the
Office of Fair Trading of the United Kingdom ("OFT") issued a Statement of
Objections ("SOO") under the U.K. Competition Act 1998 challenging the
MasterCard MIF, the fee paid by the acquiring bank to the issuing bank in
connection with point of sale transactions and multilateral service fee ("MSF"),
the fee paid by issuing banks to acquiring banks when a customer uses a
MasterCard-branded card in the United Kingdom either at an ATM or over the
counter to obtain a cash advance, established by MasterCard U.K. Members Forum
Limited (formerly MEPUK) for domestic credit card transactions in the United
Kingdom. The SOO contained preliminary conclusions to the effect that the
MasterCard U.K. MIF and MSF may infringe U.K. competition law and do not qualify
for an exemption in their present forms. In January, 2002, MasterCard, MEPUK and
several MasterCard U.K. members responded to the SOO, and an oral hearing
concerning the matter was held on February 5, 2002. On February 11, 2003, the
OFT issued an amended SOO, which also contains preliminary conclusions that
challenge MasterCard's U.K. MIF under the Competition Act. On May 2, 2003,
MasterCard and MMF responded to the supplemental SOO.

         Because the MIF and MSF constitute essential elements of MasterCard's
U.K. operations, changes to these fees could significantly impact MasterCard's
U.K. members and the MasterCard business in the U.K. At this time, it is not
possible to determine what action the OFT will take with respect to the
MasterCard MIF and MSF.

         Australia. On August 27, 2002, the Reserve Bank of Australia ("RBA")
announced regulations under the Payments Systems (Regulation) Act 1998 (the
"Act") applicable to four-party credit card payment systems in Australia,
including MasterCard's. The RBA regulations would impose a number of changes on
the operation of four-party credit card systems that could significantly impact
MasterCard International's Australian members and the MasterCard business in
Australia. Among other things, the RBA regulations permit non-deposit-taking
institutions to issue credit cards and acquire credit card transactions in
Australia, mandate a formula for calculating interchange fees that fails to
account for certain costs incurred by issuers (such as credit losses) and
effectively requires a reduction in domestic interchange fees, and prohibit
MasterCard and other four-party credit card systems from enforcing their
respective "no surcharge" and "net issuer" rules. The no surcharge rule
generally prevents merchants from charging supplemental fees for the use of
payment cards at the point of sale, and the net issuer rule requires
institutions participating in the relevant system to issue payment cards in
addition to conducting merchant acquiring activities.

         On September 20, 2002, MasterCard filed an application with the Federal
Court of Australia seeking to overturn the RBA regulations. MasterCard believes
that in implementing the regulations the RBA has failed to comply with the
obligations imposed upon it by the Act. Among other things, MasterCard believes
that the RBA regulations fail to satisfy the public interest test mandated by
the Act because they can be expected to impose additional costs on Australian
consumers, place small businesses at a competitive disadvantage to larger
retailers, and encourage small or regional banks to exit the credit card
business in Australia. Visa International Corp. filed a similar application with
the Federal Court of Australia on September 19, 2002. A hearing on the matter
commenced on May 19, 2003. At this time, it is not possible to determine the
outcome of MasterCard's legal challenge to the RBA regulations.

         United States. In July 2002, a putative class action lawsuit was filed
by a group of merchants in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California against MasterCard

<PAGE>

International, Visa U.S.A., Inc., Visa International Corp. and several member
banks in California, alleging, among other things, that MasterCard's and Visa's
interchange fees contravene the Sherman Act. The suit seeks treble damages in an
unspecified amount, attorney's fees and injunctive relief, including the
divestiture of bank ownership of MasterCard and Visa, and the elimination of
MasterCard and Visa marketing activities. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss
the complaint on September 10, 2002. The motion has been fully briefed. The case
was recently reassigned to a new judge in federal district court in San
Francisco. An oral argument date on the motion was held on April 18, 2003. On
April 21, 2003, the judge issued a decision that dismissed several of
plaintiffs' claims and significantly narrowed the scope of the remaining claims
in the case. No trial date has been set in this matter.

         Other Jurisdictions. MasterCard is aware that regulatory authorities in
certain other jurisdictions, including Poland, Hong Kong and Switzerland, are
reviewing MasterCard's and/or its members interchange fee practices and may seek
to regulate the establishment of such fees.

         5.       Other Challenges

         The following matters are in their early procedural stages and are
presented for completeness only. MasterCard has not yet determined whether these
matters may have a material adverse impact on its business or prospects.

         Paycom. In May 2003, a complaint was filed against MasterCard in the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Los Angeles) by a
merchant aggregator who sells adult entertainment website content and who has
been assessed for exceeding excessive chargeback program standards. The
complaint alleges antitrust, breach of contract, fraud and other theories of
damages against MasterCard. No trial date has been set in this matter.

         North Carolina Action. In May 2003, a purported class action complaint
was filed by a group of non-face-to-face merchants in federal court in North
Carolina against MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. The claims
involve theories under RICO, federal antitrust law, state antitrust law, fraud,
civil conspiracy, unfair/deceptive trade practices and related claims, including
claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The federal antitrust claims include the
claim that MasterCard's purported monopoly power forces plaintiffs to bear risks
and costs of fraud and forces plaintiffs to pay excessive interchange.
Plaintiffs claim defendants have earned monopolistic and unjust profits from
chargeback fees/penalties and credit penalty fees. Other antitrust claims
include group boycott and a conspiracy to profit from fraud in the
card-not-present industry. No trial date has been set in this matter.

(a) of this paragraph 2, the Assignor Lender is hereby appointed by the CAF
Advance Assignee as its collection agent to receive from the Administrative
Agent, for and on behalf of and for the account of the CAF Advance Assignee, all
amounts payable to or for the account of the CAF Advance Assignee under the CAF
Advance; the Assignor Lender will immediately pay over to the CAF Advance

Assignment, the Assignor Lender and the CAF Advance Assignee confirm to and
agree with each other and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and
beneficial owner of the interest being assigned hereby free and clear of any
adverse claim and has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right to
sell, assign and transfer the CAF Advance to the CAF Advance Assignee, the
Assignor Lender 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 instrument or
document furnished pursuant thereto or with respect to the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit

             [FORM OF OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE BORROWER AND
                                 INTERNATIONAL]

                                                              _________, 2003

To (a) the several banks and other financial
   institutions parties on the date hereof to
   the Agreement referred to below, (b) JPMorgan
   Chase Bank, as Backup Agent under said Agreement
   and (c) Citibank, N.A., as Administrative
   Agent under said Agreement.

Dear Sirs:

                  I am General Counsel of MasterCard Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower") and MasterCard International Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation ("International" and together with the Borrower, the
"Obligors"), and am familiar with the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 20,
2003 (the "Agreement"), among the Borrower, MasterCard International the banks
and other financial institutions parties thereto (the "Lenders"), JPMorgan Chase
Bank, as Backup Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Backup Agent"),
and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity,
the "Administrative Agent"). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to
subsection 4.1(h) of the Agreement. Terms used herein which are defined in the
Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement, unless
otherwise defined herein.

                  In connection with this opinion, I have examined an executed
copy of the Agreement, and such corporate documents and records of each Obligor
and its Subsidiaries and certificates of public officials and officers of each
Obligor and its Subsidiaries, and such other documents, as I have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. For the purposes of
this opinion, I have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures of, and the
authority of, Persons signing the Agreement on behalf of parties thereto other
than the Obligors, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as
originals and (iii) the conformity to authentic original documents of all
documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.

                  Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

                  i.       Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries (a) is an entity
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent applicable)
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b) has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the
property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged and (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                                                                               2

                  ii.      The execution, delivery and performance by each
Obligor of the Agreement are within the corporate powers of such Obligor, have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action (including any necessary
shareholder approval), require no governmental approval, and do not contravene
any law or regulation applicable to, including, without limitation, Regulation
T, U or X of the Board, or any contractual restriction binding on, each Obligor.

                  iii.     The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
each Obligor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each
Obligor enforceable against in accordance with its terms except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). No consent or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of any
Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the
borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance or validity of
the Agreement other than those expressly required by the terms of the Agreement.

                  iv.      To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, except
to the extent set forth in Schedule 3.6 attached to the Agreement, there are no
pending or threatened actions or proceedings affecting either Obligor or any of
its Subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to either Obligor or such
Subsidiary, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  v.       Neither Obligor is an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither Obligor is a "Holding
Company" or a "Subsidiary Company" of a "Holding Company" or an "Affiliate" of a
"Holding Company", as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended.

                  I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York and express
no opinion on any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the
federal laws of the United States.
