                                   ARTICLE II

                    AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT
                         ADVANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

                  SECTION 2.1. Revolving Credit Advances and Letters of Credit.

                  (a)      Revolving Credit Advances. Each Bank severally
agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Revolving
Credit Advances to each Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during
the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate
amount to all Borrowers not to exceed at any time such Bank's Unused Revolving
Credit Commitment at such time. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances made
on the same day by the Banks ratably according to their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments. Within the limits of this Section 2.1(a), a Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.1(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.5 and reborrow
under this Section 2.1(a).

                  (b)      Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue standby or trade letters of
credit (collectively, the "Letters of Credit", and each a "Letter of Credit")
for the account of any Borrower (such issuance, and any funding of a draw
thereunder, to be made by the Issuing Banks in reliance on the agreements of the
other Banks pursuant to Section 2.2) from time to time on any Business Day
during the period from the Effective Date until 30 days prior to the Termination
Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit issued by
the Issuing Banks not to exceed at any time the lesser of (A) the aggregate of
all Letter of Credit Commitments at such time and (B) the Letter of Credit
Commitment of such Issuing Bank at such time and (ii) for each such Letter of
Credit not to exceed an amount equal to the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments
of the Banks at such time; provided that at no time shall all Letter of Credit
Liabilities exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Commitments. No
Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of a
Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewals) later then 10 Business Days
prior to the Termination Date. Within the limits referred to above, a Borrower
may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.1(b), repay
any Letter of Credit Liability resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under
this Section 2.1(b).

                  SECTION 2.2. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under
Letters of Credit.

                  (a)      Notice of Issuance. A Borrower shall give the Agent
and the Issuing Bank from which it is requesting a Letter of Credit at least
three Business Days' (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Agent and such
Issuing Bank) prior notice, in the form of Exhibit D-1 (a "Notice of Letter of
Credit"), specifying the Business Day such Letter of Credit is to be issued and
the account party or parties therefor and describing in reasonable detail the
proposed terms of such Letter of Credit (including the beneficiary thereof) and
the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported thereby.

<PAGE>

                  (b)      Participations in Letters of Credit. On each day
during the period commencing with the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter
of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated,
the Letter of Credit Commitment of each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be
utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the Available
Amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Bank agrees that, upon the issuance of any
Letter of Credit hereunder by any Issuing Bank, it shall automatically acquire a
participation in such Issuing Bank's liability under such Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to such Bank's LC Participation Percentage of such liability, and
each Bank thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as
primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to
such Issuing Bank to the extent provided in this Section 2.2(b).

                  (c)      Reimbursement Obligations; Notice of Drawings. Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment
under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit
shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower (through the Agent) of the amount
to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which
payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of
such demand, which shall be (unless same day payment is required by the terms of
such Letter of Credit pursuant to a request of such Borrower) at least one
Business Day after the date on which the Agent shall deliver such notice to the
applicable Borrower pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the identity of
the account party of any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers hereby unconditionally
agree to pay and reimburse the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank that
issued a Letter of Credit for the amount of each demand for payment under such
Letter of Credit that is in substantial compliance with the provisions of such
Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such
Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest
or other formalities of any kind, together with interest thereon at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate for the period from the date of such demand until
the date of such reimbursement; provided that, to the extent that any
Reimbursement Obligation has not been reimbursed by any Borrower to the
applicable Issuing Bank hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw funds
from the Collateral Account upon the request (such request to be delivered to
the Collateral Agent by TWC on the same day of the receipt of notice from the
Agent to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)) of TWC (in accordance
with the Security Agreement), in an amount of such outstanding Reimbursement
Obligation and apply such funds for the satisfaction and reimbursement of such
Issuing Bank. The Borrowers' obligations to reimburse each Issuing Bank as
provided herein shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under all
circumstances whatsoever, including the following circumstances: (i) any lack of
validity of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the other documents to
be delivered under this Agreement; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other right that a Borrower may have at any time against the Agent,
any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any unrelated transaction; (iii)
any action or inaction taken or suffered by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit if taken in good faith and in conformity with applicable law; (iv) the
payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
demand, statement or other document which in the sole discretion of such Issuing
Bank substantially complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including
any demand, statement or other document which is forged, fraudulent, invalid or
inaccurate in any respect; (v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
collateral for, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any guarantee of, all or any of the Obligations of the applicable Borrower
in respect of any Letter of

                                       14

<PAGE>

Credit; and (vi) any determination of invalidity or unenforceability with
respect to any Letter of Credit after payment by an Issuing Bank thereunder.

                  (d)      Payments by Banks to Issuing Banks. To the extent
that a Borrower fails to make any payment to an Issuing Bank that such Borrower
is required to make pursuant to Section 2.2(c), each Bank (other than such
Issuing Bank) shall pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank in
Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank's LC
Participation Percentage of any payment under a Letter of Credit upon notice by
such Issuing Bank (through the Agent) to such Bank requesting such payment and
specifying such amount. Each such Bank's obligation to make such payment to the
Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank under this Section 2.2(d), and such
Issuing Bank's right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever other than the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank in making payment under
such Letter of Credit, including the failure of any other Bank to make its
payment under this Section 2.2(d), the financial condition of a Borrower (or any
account party in respect of such Letter of Credit), the existence of any Event
of Default or the termination of the Letter of Credit Commitments. If any Bank
shall default in its obligation to make any such payment to the Agent for the
account of an Issuing Bank, for so long as such default shall continue the Agent
may, at the request of such Issuing Bank withhold from any payments received by
the Agent under this Agreement for the account of such Bank the amount so in
default and, to the extent so withheld and pay the same to such Issuing Bank for
application to such defaulted obligation.

                  (e)      Participations in Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the
making of each payment by a Bank to an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.2(d)
in respect of any Letter of Credit, such Bank shall, automatically and without
any further action on the part of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Bank,
acquire (i) a funded participation in an amount equal to such payment in the
Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank by the applicable Borrower
hereunder and under the Letter of Credit Documents relating to such Letter of
Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Bank's LC
Participation Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the
Borrowers hereunder and under such Letter of Credit Documents in respect of such
Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fronting Fee contemplated by Section
2.11(b)(i)). Upon receipt by any Issuing Bank from or for the account of a
Borrower of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation or any such
interest or other amount (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds
of any collateral security or the withdrawal and application of funds from the
Collateral Account as required by Section 2.2(c)), such Issuing Bank shall
promptly pay to the Agent, for the account of each Bank entitled thereto, such
Bank's Participation Percentage of such payment, each such payment by such
Issuing Bank to be made in the same currency and funds in which received by any
Issuing Bank. In the event any payment received by such Issuing Bank and so paid
to the Banks hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Issuing
Bank, each Bank shall, upon the request of such Issuing Bank (through the
Agent), repay to such Issuing Bank (through the Agent) the portion of such
payment paid to such Bank.

                  (f)      Information Provided by Issuing Banks to Banks.
Promptly after the issuance of or amendment to any Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank that issued such Letter of Credit will notify the Agent and the applicable
Borrower in writing of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be
accompanied by a copy of such issued or amended Letter of

                                       15

<PAGE>

Credit. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall notify each Bank of such
issuance or amendment and, if requested by a Bank, the Agent shall provide such
Bank with copies of such issued or amended Letter of Credit and any related
Letter of Credit Documents thereto.

                  (g)      Conditions Precedent to Issuance, Extension and
Modification. The issuance by any Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, or any
extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be subject to satisfaction
of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Article III, and shall further
be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be
in such form and contain such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such
Issuing Bank consistent with its then current practices and procedures of
general applicability with respect to letters of credit of the same type and
(ii) the applicable Borrower shall have executed and delivered such agreements
and other instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as such Issuing Bank
shall have reasonably requested consistent with its then current practices and
procedures of general applicability with respect to letters of credit of the
same type; provided that in the event of any conflict between any such
application, agreement or other instrument and the provisions of this Agreement,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The issuance by any Issuing Bank
of any amendment, modification or supplement to any Letter of Credit hereunder
which increases the stated amount thereof or extends the termination date
thereof shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Section
2.2 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or
supplement shall be issued hereunder unless the Letter of Credit affected
thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued
hereunder in such modified or supplemented form.

                  (h)      Interest Payable to Issuing Banks by Banks. To the
extent that any Bank shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant
to Sections 2.2(d) or (e) on the due date therefor, such Bank shall pay interest
to the Issuing Bank owed such amount (through the Agent) on such amount from and
including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

                  (i)      Indemnification of the Banks, Issuing Banks and
Agent. The Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, each Issuing
Bank and the Agent from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses that such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent
may incur (or that may be claimed against such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the
Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution
and delivery or transfer of or payment or refusal to pay by each Issuing Bank
under any Letter of Credit (EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS,
LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY
NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH BANK, SUCH ISSUING BANK OR THE AGENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, BUT
EXCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH BANK, SUCH ISSUING BANK AND THE
AGENT). IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH BANK, EACH ISSUING BANK
OR THE AGENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION
2.2(i), BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS OWN ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE;
provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Bank, any
Issuing Bank or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (A) in the case of

                                       16

<PAGE>

each Issuing Bank, the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing
Bank in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit
complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) in the case of any Bank,
such Bank's failure to pay its Letter of Credit Liabilities pursuant to Sections
2.2(d), (e) and (h).

                  SECTION 2.3. Making the Revolving Credit Advances.

                  (a)      Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on
notice, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third
Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the
case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or
10:00 a.m. (New York City Time) the Business Day of the proposed Revolving
Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base
Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Agent, which shall give to each Bank
prompt notice thereof by telecopier or telex. Each such notice of a Revolving
Credit Borrowing (a "Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing") shall be by
telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telecopier or telex in
substantially the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, specifying therein the requested
(i) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) Type of Revolving Credit
Advance, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (iv) in
the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances,
initial Interest Period for each such Revolving Credit Advance. Each Bank shall,
before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to
the Agent at the Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Bank's ratable portion
of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. After the Agent's receipt of such funds and
upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the
Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent's address
referred to in Section 8.2.

                  (b)      Anything in Section 2.3(a) to the contrary
notwithstanding, a Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any
Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate obligation of the Banks to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Sections 2.3(e),
2.14 or 2.16.

                  (c)      No Borrower may select Eurodollar Rate Advances for
any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit
Borrowings is less than $10,000,000.

                  (d)      Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. In the case of any Revolving Credit
Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to
be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrowers shall indemnify each
Bank against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of any
failure by the Borrowers to fulfill on or before the date specified in such
Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation,
any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Bank to fund the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Bank as part
of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a
result of such failure, is not made on such date.

                                       17
<PAGE>

                  (e)      If the Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar
Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances, the obligation of the Banks to make, or to
Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and, except as provided
in Section 2.3(f), each Revolving Credit Advance comprising any requested
Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance.

                  (f)      If a Borrower has requested a proposed Revolving
Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances and as a result of
circumstances referred to in Section 2.3(e) or Section 2.14(b) such Revolving
Credit Borrowing would not consist of Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Borrower
may, by notice given not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one
Business Day prior to the date such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing would
otherwise be made, cancel such Revolving Credit Borrowing, in which case such
Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be cancelled and no Revolving Credit Advances
shall be made as a result of such requested Revolving Credit Borrowing, but such
Borrower shall indemnify the Banks in connection with such cancellation as
contemplated by Section 2.3(d).

                  (g)      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Bank prior to the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Bank will not
make available to the Agent such Bank's ratable portion of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available
to the Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.3(a) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to a Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to
the Agent, such Bank and Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until
the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such
Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Credit Advances
comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank,
the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Revolving Credit
Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement and such Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations to repay such
amount under this Section 2.3(g).

                  (h)      The failure of any Bank to make the Revolving Credit
Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not
relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its
Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no
Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the
Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any
Revolving Credit Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.4. Voluntary Reduction of the Commitments. Each
Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days notice to the
Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part (i) the Unused Revolving
Credit Commitments and (ii) the unused portions of the Letter of Credit
Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate
amount of at least $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and shall be made ratably among the Banks or Issuing Banks, as the case
may be, in accordance

                                       18

<PAGE>

with their respective Commitments hereunder; and provided further that the
aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Commitments shall not be reduced to an
amount which is less than the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities.

                  SECTION 2.5. Prepayments.

                  (a)      Optional. Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent
(i) before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) for Base Rate Advances on the date of
prepayment and (ii) upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent for
Eurodollar Rate Advances stating the proposed date and aggregate principal
amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given by such Borrower shall,
prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances
comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing in whole or ratably in
part, together with accrued interest and fees to the date of such prepayment on
the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant
Section 8.4(c) as a result of such prepayment; provided, however, that each
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be in an aggregate principal
amount not less than $5,000,000.

                  (b)      Mandatory. Upon the date of receipt of written notice
by the Borrowers from the Agent or the Majority Banks of the occurrence of any
Mandatory Prepayment Event (such written notice to be delivered by the Agent or
the Majority Banks to the Borrowers not later than ten Business Days from the
date of an occurrence of any Mandatory Prepayment Event), all then outstanding
Revolving Credit Advances, including any amounts required to be paid pursuant to
Section 8.4(c) as a result of such prepayment, shall be repaid by the Borrowers
(which the Borrowers may elect to repay using amounts on deposit in the
Collateral Account (in accordance with the Security Agreement) if and to the
extent funds are available in such Collateral Account) by no later than 10
Business Days from the date of receipt of such written notice of such Mandatory
Prepayment Event.

                  SECTION 2.6. Increased Costs.

                  (a)      If any Bank or Issuing Bank determines that
compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental or monetary authority (whether or not having
the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or
any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and
that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of
such Bank's or such Issuing Bank's, as the case may be, commitment to lend
hereunder, issue Letters of Credit or purchase participations in Letters of
Credit and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Bank or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be (with a copy of such demand and related
certificate (which certificate shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of
such change in capital requirements, the proposed (or actual) compliance change
to be adopted by the applicable Bank or Issuing Bank and the calculations upon
which any compensation is claimed hereunder) to the Agent), the Borrowers shall
immediately pay to the Agent within five Business Days of receipt of such demand
for the account of such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to
time as specified by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such
Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,

                                       19

<PAGE>

reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence
of such Bank's or such Issuing Bank's, as the case may be, commitment to lend,
issue Letters of Credit or purchase participations in Letters of Credit
hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such additional amounts, submitted
to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of such additional amounts. No Bank
or Issuing Bank shall have any right to recover any additional amounts under
this Section 2.6(a) for any period more than 90 days prior to the date such Bank
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of any such
compliance.

                  (b)      In the event that any Bank (i) makes a demand for
payment under Section 2.2, 2.8, 2.17 or this Section 2.6, or (ii) does not agree
to provide its consent or agree to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section
8.1 where such consent or agreement to provide an amendment or waiver is
required of all the Banks hereto, TWC may within ninety (90) days of such demand
or non-consent, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, replace such Bank
with another commercial bank in accordance with all of the provisions of the
second and third sentences of Section 8.5(a), and clauses (b) and (d) of Section
8.5 (including execution of an appropriate Transfer Agreement); provided that
(w) all obligations of such Bank to lend hereunder or purchase participations in
Letters of Credit shall be terminated and the Letter of Credit Interests held by
such Bank and Notes payable to such Bank and all other obligations owed to such
Bank hereunder shall be purchased in full without recourse at par plus accrued
interest and fees at or prior to such replacement, (x) such replacement bank
shall be an Eligible Assignee, (y) such replacement bank shall, from and after
such replacement, be deemed for all purposes to be a "Bank" hereunder with a
Revolving Credit Commitment and Letter of Credit Liabilities in the amount of
the Revolving Credit Commitment and Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Bank to
such Borrower immediately prior to such replacement (plus, if such replacement
bank is already a Bank prior to such replacement the respective Revolving Credit
Commitment and Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Bank to such Borrower prior
to such replacement), as such amount may be changed from time to time pursuant
hereto, and shall have all of the rights, duties and obligations hereunder of
the Bank being replaced, including obligations under Section 2.1(b), and (z)
such other actions shall be taken by the Borrowers, such Bank and such
replacement bank as may be appropriate to effect the replacement of such Bank
with such replacement bank on terms such that such replacement bank has all of
the rights, duties and obligations hereunder as such Bank (including
specification of the information contemplated by Schedule I as to such
replacement bank).

                  (c)      Before making any demand under this Section 2.6, each
Bank agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and
legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if
the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank,
be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

                  SECTION 2.7. Payments and Computations.

                  (a)      Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder to be
made by it not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in
Dollars to the Agent at its New York address referred to in Section 8.2, in each
case in same day funds, without deduction, counterclaim or offset of any kind.
The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed

                                       20

<PAGE>

like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or any fees to the
Banks for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds
relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank to such Bank for
the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. The Agent will promptly pay to the Collateral Agent
like funds relating to the payment of any amount payable to the Collateral
Agent. In no event shall any Bank be entitled to share any fee paid to the Agent
pursuant to Section 2.11(a), any other fee paid to the Agent, as such, or any
Fronting Fee paid to an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i).

                  (b)      (i) All computations of interest based on clause (a)
of the definition herein of "Base Rate" and all computations of all Commitment
Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Fronting Fees and all other fees shall be made by
the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
(ii) all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, the Federal
Funds Rate and interest pursuant to Section 2.17 shall be made by the Agent on
the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest, letter of credit fees or other fees are payable. Each
determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (c)      Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest, commitment fee, letter of
credit fee or any other fee hereunder, as the case may be; provided, however,
that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
Eurodollar Rate Revolving Credit Advances to be made in the next following
calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

                  (d)      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due by such Borrower to any
Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent
may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such
date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due
such Bank hereunder. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith
on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the
date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

                  SECTION 2.8. Taxes.

                  (a)      Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder shall
be made, in accordance with Section 2.7, free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings with respect thereto, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding in the case of each Bank and the Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its net
income or net profits, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized
or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) taxes imposed as a result of a
present or former connection

                                       21

<PAGE>

between such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, and the jurisdiction
imposing such tax or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each
Bank, taxes imposed on its net income or net profits, and franchise taxes
imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank's Lending Office or any
political subdivision thereof, other than any such connection arising solely
from the Bank or Agent having executed or delivered, or performed its
obligations or received a payment under, or taken any other action related to
this Agreement (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect
of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Bank or the Agent, (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions for Taxes (including deductions for Taxes applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.8) such Bank or the Agent, as the
case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions for Taxes been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.

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

                  (c)      Each Borrower will indemnify each Bank, each Issuing
Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 2.8) owed and paid by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the
case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made
within 30 days from the date such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the
case may be, makes written demand therefor; provided that such Borrower shall
have no liability pursuant to this clause (c) of this Section 2.8 to indemnify a
Bank, an Issuing Bank or the Agent for Taxes or Other Taxes which were paid by
such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, more than ninety
days prior to such written demand for indemnification.

                  (d)      In the event that a Bank, an Issuing Bank or the
Agent receives a written communication from any governmental authority with
respect to an assessment or proposed assessment of any Taxes, such Bank, such
Issuing Bank or Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly notify TWC in writing
and provide TWC with a copy of such communication. The Agent's, an Issuing
Bank's or a Bank's failure to provide a copy of such communication to TWC shall
not relieve TWC of any of its obligations hereunder.

                  (e)      Promptly following payment of Taxes by or at the
direction of any Borrower, such Borrower will furnish to the Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 8.2, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof (or, if no such receipt is reasonably
available, other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the Agent). Should
any Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Agent ever receive any refund, credit or
deduction from any taxing authority to which such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the
Agent, as the case may be, would not be entitled but for the payment by such
Borrower of Taxes as required by this Section 2.8 (it

                                       22

<PAGE>

being understood that the decision as to whether or not to claim, and if
claimed, as to the amount of any such refund, credit or deduction shall be made
by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, in its
reasonable judgment), such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may
be, thereupon shall repay to such Borrower an amount with respect to such
refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in taxes actually
obtained by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, and
determined by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, to
be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction.

                  (f)      Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States shall on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank which is a party to this
Agreement on the date this Agreement becomes effective and on the date the
Transfer Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Bank is first effective in the
case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter as necessary or
appropriate (but only so long thereafter as such Bank remains lawfully able to
do so), provide each of the Agent and each Borrower with two original Internal
Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or, in the case of a Bank that has
provided a certificate to the Agent that it is not (i) a "bank" as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a ten-percent shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of such Borrower or (iii) a
controlled foreign corporation related to such Borrower (within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN), or any
successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying
that such Bank is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States
withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit
Document or, in the case of a Bank that has certified that it is not a "bank" as
described above, certifying that such Bank is a foreign corporation. If the
forms provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this
Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of
zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes
unless and until such Bank provides the appropriate forms certifying that a
lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be
considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms.

                  (g)      For any period with respect to which a Bank has
failed to provide any Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other
document described in subsection (f) of this Section 2.8 (other than if such
failure is due to a change in the applicable law, or in the interpretation or
application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or
other document originally was required to be provided) such Bank shall not be
entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.8 with
respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure;
provided, however, that should a Bank become subject to Taxes because of its
failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the
Borrowers shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request (at such
Bank's expense) to assist such Bank in recovering such Taxes.

                  (h)      Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 2.8 agrees to use reasonable efforts to change the
jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be
otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Bank.

                                       23

<PAGE>

                  (i)      If a Borrower determines in good faith that a
reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, the relevant Bank, or the Agent,
as applicable, shall provide reasonable cooperation to such Borrower in
challenging such Tax at such Borrower's expense and if requested by such
Borrower in writing; provided, however, that no Bank shall be required to take
any action hereunder which, in the reasonable discretion of such Bank, would
cause such Bank or its applicable lending office to suffer a legal, regulatory
or material economic disadvantage.

                  (j)      Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrowers contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the payment in full of
principal and interest hereunder and the Termination Date.

                  (k)      Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or
the Notes to the contrary, this Section 2.8 shall be the sole provision
governing indemnities and claims for taxes under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.9. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall
obtain any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, or through the exercise of
any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances
made by it or its Letter of Credit Interest (other than pursuant to Section 2.6,
2.8, 2.17, 8.4(b) or 8.4(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on
account of all Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Interests obtained
by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks such
participations in the Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Interests
of such other Banks as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share
the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay
to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such Bank's ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of the participation
purchased from such Bank as a result of such excess payment to (ii) the total
amount of such excess payment) of such recovery together with an amount equal to
such Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower
agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to
this Section 2.9 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its
rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of such Borrower
in the amount of such participation; provided, that in no event shall the
Borrowers be liable for duplicative payments under this Section 2.9 in respect
to any Obligation or other liability under the Credit Documents.

                  SECTION 2.10. Evidence of Debt. Each Bank and Issuing Bank
shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Bank or Issuing Bank
resulting from each Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit Interest owing
to such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank or Issuing
Bank from time to time hereunder. Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any
Bank to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect
that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or
appropriate in order for such Bank to evidence (whether

                                       24

<PAGE>

for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) such Revolving Credit Advance
owing to, or to be made by, such Bank, such Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver to such Bank, with a copy to the Agent, a Note in substantially the form
of Exhibit F hereto payable to the order of such Bank. All references to Notes
in the Credit Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued
hereunder.

                  (a)      The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to
Section 8.5(c) shall set forth (i) the date and amount of each Letter of Credit
and Revolving Credit Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Revolving Credit
Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and, if appropriate, the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Transfer Agreement
delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Bank
hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from any
Borrower hereunder and each Bank's share thereof.

                  (b)      Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the
Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Bank or Issuing Bank in
its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from any Borrower to, in the case of the Register, the Agent
and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Bank, Issuing Bank or the
Agent, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the
failure of the Agent or such Bank or Issuing Bank to make an entry, or any
finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.11. Fees.

                  (a)      Agent's and Collateral Agent's Fees. TWC agrees to
pay to the Agent and the Collateral Agent, for their respective sole account,
such fees as may be separately agreed to in writing by TWC and the Agent and the
Collateral Agent.

                  (b)      Letter of Credit Fees.

                  (i)      Fronting Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent
         for the account of each Issuing Bank a fronting fee (a "Fronting Fee")
         based on the Available Amount of each Letter of Credit (for the stated
         duration thereof, and giving effect to any step up provision or other
         mechanism for increase that (x) occurs automatically and is not subject
         to the occurrence or satisfaction or any condition or contingency or
         (y) that is unilaterally exercisable by such Borrower) issued by such
         Issuing Banks in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum. All Fronting Fees
         payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i) shall be payable in arrears
         on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Termination
         Date. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to each Issuing
         Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation,
         amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
         charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to Letters of Credit as from
         time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and
         charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

                                       25

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     Participating Banks. The Borrowers agree to pay to
         the Agent for the account of each Bank a letter of credit fee (a
         "Letter of Credit Fee") based on such Bank's LC Participation
         Percentage of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of all
         Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at a rate of 0.75% per
         annum (for the stated duration thereof, and giving effect to any step
         up provision or other mechanism for increase that (x) occurs
         automatically and is not subject to the occurrence or satisfaction or
         any condition or contingency or (y) is unilaterally exercisable by the
         Borrowers). All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(ii)
         shall be paid in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal
         Quarter and on the Termination Date.

                  (c)      Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee"), in an
amount equal to 0.10% per annum on such Bank's Unused Revolving Credit
Commitment. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be paid
in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the
Termination Date.

                  SECTION 2.12. Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances. Each
Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Banks on the
Termination Date, or such earlier date as the Notes may become due and payable
pursuant to Article VI, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Advances then outstanding.

                  SECTION 2.13. Interest.

                  (a)      Scheduled Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing to each
Bank from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount
shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

                  (i)      Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such
         Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal
         at all times the Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable in
         arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter
         during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be
         Converted or paid in full.

                  (ii)     Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such
         Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum
         equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Revolving
         Credit Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
         Period for such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin
         in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such
         Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more
         than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period
         every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on
         the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in
         full.

                  (b)      Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a), the Borrowers shall pay
interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each (x) Revolving Credit Advance
owing to each Bank, payable in arrears in the

                                       26

amounts and on the dates referred to in Section 2.13(a) or (y) Reimbursement
Obligation owing to each Bank, payable in arrears in the amounts and from the
date referred to in Section 2.2(c), plus 2% per annum above the rate per annum
required to be paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.13(a)
or such rate per annum required to be paid on such Reimbursement Obligation
pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
amount of any interest, Fronting Fee, Commitment Fee, Letter of Credit Fee or
any other fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from
the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full,
payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand,
at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum
required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(i).

                  SECTION 2.14. Interest Rate Determination.

                  (a)      The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers
and the Banks of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for
purposes of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii).

                  (b)      If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Revolving
Credit Advances, the Majority Banks notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate
for any Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advances will not adequately
reflect the cost to such Majority Banks of making, funding or maintaining their
respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall
forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Banks, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest
Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of
the Banks to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the
Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

                  (c)      If a Borrower shall fail to select the duration of
any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the
provisions contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01, the
Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Banks and such Revolving
Credit Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

                  (d)      On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Revolving Credit Borrowing
shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than
$10,000,000, such Revolving Credit Advances shall automatically Convert into
Base Rate Advances and the applicable Borrower shall pay any amounts required to
be paid pursuant Section 8.4(c) as a result of such Conversion.

                  (e)      Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default under Section 6.1(a), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will
automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor,
Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Banks to make,
or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

                  SECTION 2.15. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit
Advances. Any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m.

                                       27

<PAGE>

(New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed
Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.16, Convert all
Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same Revolving Credit
Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type; provided, however,
that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be
made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Advances and any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000. Each such notice of a
Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (a) the date
of such Conversion, (b) the Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted and (c) if
such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial
Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be
irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.

                  SECTION 2.16. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, if any Bank shall notify the Agent that the introduction of
or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it
unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having relevant
jurisdiction asserts that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its Eurodollar Lending
Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or
to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate
Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance
and (b) the obligation of the Banks to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to
Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

                  SECTION 2.17. Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances.
Each Borrower shall pay to each Bank, so long as such Bank shall be required
under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Bank to such Borrower, from the
date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount is paid in
full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained
by subtracting (a) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such
Revolving Credit Advance from (b) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar
Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage
of such Bank for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Revolving Credit Advance. Such additional interest shall be
determined by such Bank and notified to such Borrower through the Agent. A
certificate as to the amount of such additional interest submitted to such
Borrower and the Agent by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. No Bank shall have the right to recover any
additional interest pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any period more than 90
days prior to the date such Bank notifies the Borrowers that additional interest
may be charged pursuant to this Section 2.17.

                  SECTION 2.18. Existing Letters of Credit. Effective as of the
Effective Date, all "Letters of Credit" issued and outstanding under the LC
Agreement for the account of TWC shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit
hereunder.

constitute a representation and warranty by such Borrower that on the date of
such Revolving Credit Borrowing or such Letter of Credit is issued such
statements are true):

         period);

                  (c)      solely in connection with any Revolving Credit
         Borrowing or issuance or renewal of a Financial Letter of Credit, there
         has been no, nor will there be, any Cross-Acceleration Event or

         which have been requested by such Borrower on or prior to such date but
         which have not been made or issued prior to such date, the sum of the
         aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit
         Liabilities will not exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the
         Banks; and

                  (f)      the aggregate mark-to-market value of all Collateral
         in the Collateral Account for which the Collateral Agent has a
         first-priority perfected security interest shall be equal to or greater
         than the Collateral Coverage Requirement before and after giving effect
         to such Revolving Credit Borrowing or issuance or renewal of such
         Letter of Credit.

provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary,
with respect to any Letters of Credit which shall automatically renew by their
own terms unless a notice of non-renewal is given by the applicable Issuing
Bank, such Issuing Bank may give such notice of non-renewal (after notice to
such Borrower and in no event earlier than the date 10 days prior to the latest

         draw or the probability of a draw under a Letter of Credit).

                  (c)      No authorization or approval or other action by, and
         no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory

         provisions of Section 5.2(b).

                  (h)      No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending
         credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
         the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Federal Reserve Board), and
         no proceeds of any issuance of a Letter of Credit or Revolving Credit
         Advance will be used to purchase or carry any such margin stock (other
         than purchases of common stock expressly permitted by Section 5.2(b))
         or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
         any such margin stock.

                  (i)      No Borrower is an "investment company" or a company
         "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (j)      No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably
         expected to occur with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be
         expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of the
         Collateral, the perfection or priority of the liens of the Collateral
         Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) on any material portion
         of such Collateral, or the ability of the Banks to exercise their
         rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral. No Borrower has nor
         has any ERISA Affiliate of any Borrower received any notification that
         any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated,
         within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no Borrower is aware of
         any reason to expect that any Multiemployer Plan is to be in
         reorganization or to be terminated within the meaning of Title IV of
         ERISA that would have any material adverse effect on the value of the
         Collateral or the ability of the Banks to exercise their rights and
         remedies in respect of the Collateral.

                  (k)      No Borrower is a "holding company," or a "subsidiary
         company" of a "holding company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding
         company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company," or a
         "public utility" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding
         Company Act of 1935, as amended.

                  (l)      After taking all actions required to be made by TWC
         which are necessary to perfect the security interest in the Collateral
         created under the Security Agreement, the Security Agreement will
         create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
         Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) a valid, and together
         with any applicable actions, perfected first priority security interest
         in the Collateral, securing payment of the Secured Obligations (as
         defined in the Security Agreement). TWC is the legal and beneficial
         owner of the Collateral free and clear of any lien other than those in
         favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

         material portion of such Collateral, or on the ability of the Banks to

                  SECTION 7.3. Issuing Banks' Reliance, Etc. Neither the Issuing
Banks nor any directors, officers, agents or employees of the Issuing Banks
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Issuing Banks shall not have, by reason of
this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Issuing Banks any obligations in respect of this Agreement
except as expressly set forth herein. Without limitation of the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuing Banks: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (ii) make no warranty or representation to any Bank and
shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on the
part of any Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and
records) of any Borrower; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it in its reasonable judgment
to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

                  SECTION 7.4. Rights. With respect to its Commitments, the
Revolving Credit Advances made by it and the Notes, if any, issued to it, or any
Letter of Credit Interest held by it, Citibank shall have the same rights and
powers under any such Note and this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise
the same as though it was not the Agent and Collateral Agent; with respect to
its Letter of Credit Commitments, the Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, any
Letter of Credit Interest held by it, the Issuing Banks shall have the right and
power under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though
it was not an Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The term "Bank" or "Banks"
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each of the Issuing Banks
in their individual capacity. Citibank, each Issuing Bank and the respective
affiliates of each may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower,
any Person who may do business with or own, directly or indirectly, securities
of any Borrower and any other Person, all as if Citibank were not the Agent and
Collateral Agent and each Issuing Bank was not an Issuing Bank, in each case
without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

                  SECTION 7.5. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the
Agent and the Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers),
ratably according to the respective Letter of Credit Interests then held by each
of them plus the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Advances
owed to each of them (or if no Letter of Credit Interests or Revolving Credit
Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to their respective LC
Participation Percentage plus their Revolving Credit Commitments), from and
against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against either the Agent or
the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (EXPRESSLY
INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE
ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF THE AGENT, BUT EXCLUDING ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT). IT IS THE INTENT
OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL, TO THE
EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.5, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR RESPECTIVELY FOR THEIR
OWN ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent and the Collateral Agent
promptly upon demand for their respective ratable shares of any out-of-pocket
expenses (including counsel fees) incurred respectively by the Agent and the
Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to
the extent that the Agent and the Collateral Agent are not reimbursed for such
expenses by the Borrowers.

                  (a)      The Banks agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective
Letter of Credit Interests then held by each of them plus the respective
principal amounts so the Revolving Credit Advances owed to each of them (or if
no Letter of Credit Interests or Revolving Credit Advances are at the time
outstanding, ratably according to their respective LC Participation Percentage
plus their Revolving Credit Commitments), from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against any Issuing Bank in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any action taken
or omitted by any Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Credit Document
(EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY ISSUING
BANK, BUT EXCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH ISSUING
BANK). IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT AN ISSUING BANK SHALL, TO THE
EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.5, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS OWN ORDINARY, SOLE
OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank
agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its

                                       41

<PAGE>

ratable share of ay out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by
such Issuing Bank in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
renegotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect
of rights or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents
to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed for such expenses by the
Borrowers.

                  SECTION 7.6. Successor Agent and Collateral Agent. The Agent
and Collateral Agent may resign at any time respectively as Agent and Collateral
Agent under this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the
Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority
Banks; provided, however, that any removal of the Agent will not be effective
until it has also been replaced as Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation
or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint, with the consent
of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not
be required if an Event of Default exists), a successor Agent and Collateral
Agent from among the Banks. If no successor Agent and Collateral Agent shall
have been so appointed by the Majority Banks with such consent, and shall have
accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the respective retiring Agent's
or Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Banks'
removal of the retiring Agent or Collateral Agent, then the retiring Agent or
Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint respectively a successor
Agent or Collateral Agent, which shall be a Bank which is a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement
by respectively a successor Agent or Collateral Agent, such successor Agent or
Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent or Collateral Agent
and shall function as the Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and
the retiring Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations as Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement. After any
retiring Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation or removal hereunder
respectively as Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article VII
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.7. Bank Credit Decision. Each of the Banks
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral
Agent, the Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Issuing
Banks or any other Bank and based on the financial statements referred to in
Section 4.1(e) and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each of the Banks and the other beneficiaries of any Security
Agreement parties hereto (both on its own behalf and on behalf of any of its
Affiliates that is a beneficiary of any Security Agreement) also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, the
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks or any
other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The
Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to provide any Person with any

                                       42

<PAGE>

credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the issuance of any Letter of Credit or at any time or times
thereafter.

                  SECTION 7.8. Certain Rights of the Collateral Agent. If the
Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Majority Banks with respect
to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Collateral
Agent shall have received instructions from the Majority Banks; and it shall not
incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the
foregoing, no Bank nor any beneficiary of any Security Agreement shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of its
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Majority Banks or all of the Banks, as
the case may be. Furthermore, except for action expressly required of the
Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be
specifically indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.

                  SECTION 7.9. Other Agents. The other agents, Documentation
Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers have no duties or obligations under this
Agreement. None of the other agents, the Documentation Agent or the Co-Lead
Arrangers shall have, by reason of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents,
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank, and nothing in this Agreement
or other Credit Documents, express or implied, is intended or shall be so
construed to impose on any of the other agents, the Documentation or the Co-Lead
Arrangers any obligation in respect of this Agreement or other Credit Documents.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

and signed by the Majority Banks, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which

required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Agreement,
(g) release any of the Collateral, except as set forth in the Security

                                       43

Agreement or Section 2.2(c), (h) amend, waive any provision of, or consent to

further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed
by the Collateral Agent in addition to the Banks required above to take such
action, affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under any Credit
Document.

<PAGE>

provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (other than a Letter of
Credit) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
thereof.

                  (a)      So long as Citibank is the Agent, materials required
to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) may be delivered
to the Agent (x) in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Agent and
the Lenders by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or (y) in accordance with

as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other
material relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiaries or any other materials or
matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby (collectively, the "Communications") available to the Banks
by posting such notices on "e-Disclosure" (the "Platform"), the Agent's internet
delivery system that is part of Fixed Income Direct, Global Fixed Income's
primary web portal. Although the primary web portal is secured with a dual
firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System and the Platform is secured
through a single user per deal authorization method whereby each user may access
the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, the Borrowers acknowledge that (i)
the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily
secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" and (iii)
neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or
completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims
liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No
warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without
limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the
Platform.

                  (b)      Each Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in
the next sentence) (a "Notice") specifying that any Communications have been
posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information,
documents or other materials to such Bank for purposes of this Agreement;
provided that, if requested by any Bank, the Agent shall deliver a copy of the
Communications to such Bank by e-mail or telecopier. Each Bank agrees (i) to
notify the Agent in writing of such Bank's e-mail address to which a Notice may
be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or
before the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail
address for such Bank) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail
address.

                  SECTION 8.3. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of
any Bank, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Agent
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Documentation
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Agent and the Issuing Banks in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment
of this Agreement, the Letters of Credit, the Notes, or any other Credit
Document and the other documents to be delivered under this Agreement, including
the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent with
respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and
responsibilities under this Agreement, the Notes and any other Credit Document,
the reasonable costs and expenses of the Issuing Banks in connection with any
Letter of Credit, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and
all amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement, and
(ii) TWC agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, if any (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses, which may include allocated costs of
in-house counsel), of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agent,
the Issuing Banks and each Bank in connection with the enforcement (whether
before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and whether through
negotiations (including formal workouts or restructurings), legal proceedings or
otherwise) against any Borrower.

                  (b)      Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted

(the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever for which any of
them may become liable or which may be incurred by or asserted against any of
the Indemnified Parties (other than by another Bank or any successor or assign
of another Bank), in each case in connection with or arising out of or by reason
of any investigation, litigation, or proceeding, whether or not any of the
Indemnified Parties is a party thereto, arising out of, related to or in
connection with the Notes, any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any Credit
Document or any transaction in which any proceeds of all or any part of Letters
of Credit or Revolving Credit Advances are applied (EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, BUT EXCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM,
DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL
MISCONDUCT OF THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY). IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 8.4(b), BE INDEMNIFIED FOR
ITS OWN ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE.

                  (c)      If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any
Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Bank
other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Advance, as a result of a payment, prepayment or Conversion pursuant to this
Agreement or acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to

                                       46

Section 6.1, such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such
demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts
required to compensate such Bank for any additional losses, costs or expenses
that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion,
including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits),
cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of

Borrowers contained in Sections 2.2, 2.6 and 2.8 and this Section 8.4 shall
survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable
hereunder and under the Notes.

                  SECTION 8.5. Binding Effect; Transfers.

                  (a)      This Agreement shall become effective (other than
Article II, which shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.1) when it shall have been executed by the
Borrowers, the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Banks, and when each
Bank listed on the signature pages hereof has delivered an executed counterpart
hereof to the Agent, has sent to the Agent a facsimile copy of its signature
hereon or has notified the Agent that such Bank has executed this Agreement and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and each Bank and their
respective successors and assigns; provided that the Borrowers shall not have
the right to assign any of their rights hereunder or any interest herein without
the prior written consent of the Agent. Each Bank may assign to one or more
banks, financial institutions or other entities all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Revolving Credit Advances owing to such Bank, any Note or Notes held by such
Bank, its Letter of Credit Commitments, its Letter of Credit Interest and any or
all of its Commitments); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall
be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the Notes, (ii) except in the case of an assignment of
all of a Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement or an assignment to
another Bank, the amount of the Commitment, Letter of Credit Commitment and/or

respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 in the
aggregate or such lesser amount as may be consented to by the Agent and the
respective Borrowers, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee, and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register maintained by the
Agent, a Transfer Agreement and, unless the assignment is to an affiliate of
such Bank, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified
in each Transfer Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
as a "Bank" and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Transfer Agreement, have the rights and
obligations of a Bank hereunder (including obligations to the Agent and the
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.6) and (y) the Bank assignor thereunder
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Transfer Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement, except for rights and obligations
which continue after repayment of the Reimbursement Obligations and

                                       47

Revolving Credit Advances or termination of this Agreement pursuant to the
express terms of this Agreement (and, in the case of a Transfer Agreement
covering all of an assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

                  (b)      By executing and delivering a Transfer Agreement, the
Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided
in such Transfer Agreement, such assigning Bank makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection
with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, the perfection,
existence, sufficiency or value of any Collateral or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Credit
Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of any Borrower or any other Person or the performance or observance by any
Borrower or any other Person of any of its respective obligations under the
Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto
or in connection herewith; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a
copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Transfer Agreement; (iv)
such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and
based on such financial statements and such other documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis
and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, any of the
other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document; (v) such assignee
confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and
authorizes the Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, to act as Agent and
the Collateral Agent, respectively, on its behalf and to exercise such powers
and discretion under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other
document executed in connection herewith or therewith as are delegated to the
Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto;
and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required
to be performed by it as a Bank.

                  (c)      The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Transfer
Agreement, delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of each Bank together with its respective Commitment,
Letter of Credit Commitment, LC Participation Percentage, Letter of Credit
Interest and the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to such
Bank from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower
or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

                  (d)      Upon its receipt of a Transfer Agreement executed and
completed by an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an
Eligible Assignee (and consented to by

                                       48

<PAGE>

the Agent and, if required, by the applicable Borrower), the Agent shall (i)
accept such Transfer Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to such Borrower. If requested
by the assigning or assignee Bank, each Borrower after its receipt of such
notice, shall, at its own expense, execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange
for the surrendered Notes, new Notes to the order of such assignee Bank in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Transfer Agreement
and, if the assigning Bank has retained a Commitment hereunder new Notes to the
order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it
hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the
effective date of such Transfer Agreement and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto

                  (e)      Each Bank may sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (other than the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) in
or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances
owing to it, the Notes held by it and its Letter of Credit Interest); provided,
however, that (i) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the
holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers,
the Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Banks shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such
Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) all amounts payable
under this Agreement shall be calculated as if such Bank had not sold such
participation, and (vi) the terms of any such participation shall not restrict
such Bank's ability to consent to any departure by any Borrower herefrom without
the approval of the participant, except that the approval of the participant may
be required to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce
the principal of, or interest on, the Reimbursement Obligations or Revolving
Credit Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to
the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Reimbursement Obligations or
Revolving Credit Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in
this Agreement, any Bank may at any time create a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including its Letter of Credit
Interest) or any of its Notes in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of
the Borrowers or the Agent. Furthermore, any Bank may assign, as collateral or
otherwise, any of its rights (including rights to payments of principal of
and/or interest on its Letter of Credit Interest or Revolving Credit Advances
made by such Bank) under this Agreement, its Notes or any of its Letter of
Credit Interest to any Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of any
Borrowers or the Agent.

                  (g)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any Bank (a "Designating Bank") with the consent of the Agent (and, if
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers) may grant to
a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC"), identified as such in writing from
time to time by the Designating Bank to the Agent and the Borrowers, the option
to fund all or any part of any payment to any Issuing Bank or Revolving

                                       49

<PAGE>

Credit Advance which the Designating Bank has agreed to make; provided that no
Designating Bank shall have granted at any one time such option to more than one
SPC; and provided further that (i) such Designating Bank's obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Designating Bank shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent, the
Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Designating Bank in connection with such Designating Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (iv) any such option granted to an SPC shall
not constitute a commitment by such SPC to fund any drawing under a Letter of
Credit or to fund any Revolving Credit Advance, and (v) neither the grant nor
the exercise of such option to an SPC shall increase the costs or expenses or
otherwise increase or change the obligations of a Borrower under this Agreement
(including its obligations under Section 2.7). The issuance of a Letter of
Credit or the making of a Revolving Credit Advance by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Designating Bank to the same extent, and as if,
such Revolving Credit Advance were made by or such Letter of Credit were issued
by such Designating Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement to
the extent that any such indemnity or similar payment obligations shall have
been paid by its Designating Bank. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this
Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness
of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
8.5, an SPC may not assign its interest in any Letter of Credit Interests or
Revolving Credit Advance except that, with notice to, but without the prior
written consent of, the Borrowers and the Agent and without paying any
processing fee therefor, such SPC may assign all or a portion of its interests
in any Letter of Credit Interests or Revolving Credit Advance to the Designating
Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and Agent),
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to
support the funding or maintenance of Letter of Credit Interests or Revolving
Credit Advance. Each Designating Bank shall serve as the agent of its SPC and
shall on behalf of its SPC: (i) receive any and all payments made for the
benefit of such SPC and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices,
and vote, approve or consent hereunder, and take all actions hereunder,
including votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating
to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents. Any such notice,
communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by
the Designating Bank for the SPC and need not be signed by such SPC on its own
behalf. The Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent, the Agent and
the Banks may rely thereon without any requirement that the SPC sign or
acknowledge the same or that notice be delivered to the Borrowers or the SPC.
This Section 8.5(g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC,
which shall have been identified to the Agent and the Borrowers.

                  SECTION 8.6. Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the
other Credit Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.

                  SECTION 8.7. Interest. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and each Bank
shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it, if any. Accordingly, if
the transactions with the Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or any
Bank contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, then, in that
event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
agreement entered into in connection with or as security for this Agreement, it
is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes
interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged
or received by the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank,
as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Notes and any other Credit
Document or under any other agreement entered into in connection with or as
security for this Agreement, the Notes or the other Credit Documents shall under
no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law and
any excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at
the option of the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank,
as the case may be, be credited by the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral
Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount of the
obligations owed to the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such
Bank, as the case may be, by the applicable Borrower or refunded by the Agent,
such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, to the
applicable Borrower, and (ii) in the event that the maturity of any obligation
payable to the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank, as
the case may be, is accelerated or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law
applicable to the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank,
as the case may be, may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by
such applicable law and excess interest, if any, to the Agent, such Issuing
Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, provided for in
this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of
such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall, at the option
of the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank, as the case
may be, be credited by the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or
such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount of the obligations owed
to the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or such Bank, as the case
may be, by the Borrowers or refunded by the Agent, such Issuing Bank, the
Collateral Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, to the applicable Borrower.

                  SECTION 8.8. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

                  SECTION 8.9. Survival of Agreements, Representations and
Warranties, Etc. All warranties, representations and covenants made by any
Borrower or any officer of any Borrower herein or in any certificate or other
document delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be considered to have
been relied upon by the Banks and shall survive the issuance of any Letters of
Credit and the issuance and delivery of the Notes (if any) and the making of
Revolving Credit Advances regardless of any investigation.

                  SECTION 8.10. Confidentiality.

                                       51

<PAGE>

                  (a)      Subject to paragraph (b) below, each Bank agrees that
it will not disclose without the prior consent of TWC (other than to employees,
auditors, accountants, counsel or other professional advisors of the Agent or
any Bank) any information with respect to the Borrowers, which is furnished
pursuant to this Agreement and which (i) the Borrowers in good faith considers
to be confidential and (ii) is either clearly marked confidential or is
designated by the Borrowers to the Agent and the Banks in writing as
confidential; provided that any Bank may disclose any such information (1) as
has become generally available to the public, (2) as may be required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to or required by
any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have
jurisdiction over such Bank or submitted to or required by the Federal Reserve
Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations
(whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (3) as may be
required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena in connection
with any litigation, (4) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or
ruling applicable to such Bank, (5) to the prospective transferee or grantee in
connection with any contemplated transfer of any of the Commitments, Letter of
Credit Commitments, Letter of Credit Interests or Revolving Credit Advances or
any interest therein by such Bank or the grant of an option to an SPC to fund
any drawing under a Letter of Credit or Revolving Credit Advance; provided that
such prospective transferee executes an agreement with or for the benefit of the
Borrowers containing provisions substantially identical to those contained in
this Section 8.10; and provided further that if the contemplated transfer is a
grant of an option to fund a drawing under a Letter of Credit or Revolving
Credit Advance to an SPC pursuant to Section 8.5(g), such SPC may disclose (x)
on a confidential basis, any non-public information relating to such drawings
funded by it to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any
surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC, and (y) if
prior notice of the delivery thereof is given to the Borrowers, such information
as may be required by law or regulation to be delivered, (6) in connection with
the exercise of any remedy by such Bank following an Event of Default pertaining
to this Agreement, any of the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents or any
other document delivered in connection herewith, (7) in connection with any
litigation involving such Bank pertaining to this Agreement, any of the Notes or
any of the other Credit Documents or any other document delivered in connection
herewith, (8) to any Bank, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent or the Agent,
or (9) to any affiliate of any Bank; provided that such affiliate executes an
agreement with or for the benefit of the Borrowers containing provisions
substantially identical to those contained in this Section 8.10.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the
other Credit Documents to the contrary, the Borrowers, the Agent and each Bank
(and each employee, representative or other agent of any such Person) may
disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For
purposes of this Section 8.11(b), "tax treatment" means the purported or claimed
U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and "tax structure" means
any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S.
federal income tax treatment of the transaction. The authorization to disclose
the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby
contained in the first sentence was applicable immediately upon commencement of
discussions between the Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                  SECTION 8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT,
THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE
ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE NOTES, ANY LETTER OF CREDITS, ANY OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

                  SECTION 8.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of
the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document
should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and
therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.

                  SECTION 8.13. Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY
LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY
CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS

THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR THE BORROWERS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH MAY BE
BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE

ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL MAY BE FOUND. THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY
CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY

PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO
ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

                  SECTION 8.14. Nature of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) NWP and TGPL shall be obligated only with

                           FORM OF TRANSFER AGREEMENT

                             Dated __________, 20__

                  Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 6,
2003 (such Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time,
being herein referred to as the "Credit Agreement"), among The Williams
Companies, Inc., Northwest Pipeline Corporation, and Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Corporation, as Borrowers, Citibank, N.A., as Agent for the Banks, Bank of
America N.A., as Syndication Agent, the Banks and Issuing Banks parties thereto.
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meaning.

                  ___________________ (the "Assignor") and ________________ (the
"Assignee") agree as follows:

                  1.       The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the
         Assignee, without recourse, and the Assignee hereby purchases and
         assumes from the Assignor, an interest in and to all of the Assignor's
         rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit
         Documents executed in connection therewith as of the date hereof equal
         to the percentage interest specified on Schedule 1 hereto of all
         outstanding rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement. After
         giving effect to such sale and assignment, the Assignee's and
         Assignor's respective Letter of Credit Commitments and LC Participation
         Percentage will be as set forth in Schedule 1.

                  2.       The Assignor (i) represents and warrants that it is
         the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it
         hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse
         claim; (ii) 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, the
         other Credit Documents or other instrument or document furnished
         pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, the perfection, existence,
         sufficiency or value of any Collateral, guaranty or insurance or the
         execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency
         or value of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or
         any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or in
         connection therewith; and (iii) makes no representation or warranty and
         assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
         the Borrowers or any other Person or the performance or observance by
         the Borrowers or any other Person of any of their respective
         obligations under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or
         any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or in
         connection therewith.

                  3.       The Assignee (i) confirms that it has received a copy
         of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial
         statements referred to in Section 4.1(e) of the Credit Agreement and
         such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to
         make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Transfer

<PAGE>

         Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance
         upon the Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Assignor, any other Bank and
         based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
         the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
         taking action under the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or
         any other instrument or document; (iii) confirms that it is an Eligible
         Assignee; (iv) appoints and authorizes each of the Agent and the
         Collateral Agent, respectively, to take such action as agent on its
         behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit
         Agreement as are delegated to the Agent, respectively, by the terms
         thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
         incidental thereto; (v) agrees that it will perform in accordance with
         their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit
         Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank; and (vi)
         specifies as its Lending Office (and address for notices) the office
         set forth beneath its name on the signature pages hereof.

                  4.       Following the execution of this Transfer Agreement by
         the Assignor and the Assignee, this Transfer Agreement will be
         delivered to the Agent for acceptance and recording by the Agent. The
         effective date of this Transfer Agreement (the "Effective Date") shall
         be the date of acceptance thereof by the Agent, unless otherwise
         specified on Schedule 1 hereto.

                  5.       Upon such acceptance and recording by the Agent, as
         of the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit
         Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Transfer Agreement, have
         the rights and obligations of a Bank thereunder and under the other
         Credit Documents and (ii) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in
         this Transfer Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its
         obligations under the Credit Agreement and under the other Credit
         Documents.

                  6.       Upon such acceptance and recording by the Agent, from
         and after the Effective Date, the Agent shall make all payments under
         the Credit Agreement and the other instruments or documents furnished
         pursuant thereto or in connection therewith in respect of the interest
         assigned hereby (including all payments of principal, interest and fees
         with respect thereto) to the Assignee. The Assignor and Assignee shall
         make all appropriate adjustments in payments under the Credit Agreement
         and the other instruments or documents furnished pursuant thereto or in
         connection therewith for periods prior to the Effective Date directly
         between themselves.

                  7.       This Transfer Agreement shall be governed by, and
         construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                  8.       This Transfer Agreement may be executed in any number
         of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
         counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
         original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
         same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of Schedule 1 to
         this Transfer Agreement by telecopier shall be as effective as delivery
         of a manually executed counterpart of this Transfer Agreement.
