                                 -------------------------------

          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C
     Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set
     forth in this Section 2.02, (1) from time to time on any Business Day
     during the period from the Conditions Effective Date until the Letter of
     Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the

     previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2)
     to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally

     obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of
     Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of

     Lender, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all
     L/C Obligations would exceed such Lender's Commitment, or (z) the

     Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
     conditions hereof, the Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall
     be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
     period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
     expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

          (ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter
     of Credit if:

               (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
          or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C
          Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to
          the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the
          force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
          the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain
          from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
          Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect
          to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
          requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated

                                       22

<PAGE>

          hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the
          L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
          applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith
          deems material to it;

               (B) subject to Section 2.02(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
          requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after

          approved such expiry date;

               (C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would
          occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
          Lenders have approved such expiry date;

               (D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or
          more policies of the L/C Issuer; or

               (E) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $100,000,
          or is to be used for a purpose other than as described in Section 6.12
          or is denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

          (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter
     of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to
     issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or
     (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
     amendment to such Letter of Credit.

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Letters of Credit.
-----------------

          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
     be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a
     copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
     Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
     the Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and
     the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, at least
     two Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree
     in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed
     issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a
     request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of
     Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C
     Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit
     (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
     date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
     documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
     thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
     beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters
     as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of
     any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
     specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of
     Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which
     shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D)
     such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the
     L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
     writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter
     of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will
     provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the
     L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested
     issuance or amendment is

                                       23

<PAGE>

     permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms
     and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a
     Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the
     applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with
     the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon
     the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
     hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C
     Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
     product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of
     Credit.

          (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
     Application, the L/C Issuer may, in it sole and absolute discretion, agree
     to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an
     "Evergreen Letter of Credit"); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of
                                    --------
     Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once
     in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
     Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not
     later than a day (the "Nonrenewal Notice Date") in each such twelve-month
     period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.
     Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be
     required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal.
     Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be
     deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit
     the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than
     the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C
                                           --------  -------
     Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if it has received notice on or
     before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date
     (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected
     not to permit such renewal or (2) from any Lender stating that one or more
     of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then
     satisfied and directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such renewal.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the L/C Issuer
     shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of
     Credit at any time.

          (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any
     amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or
     to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the
     Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such
     Letter of Credit or amendment.

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
         ------------------------------------------------------

          (i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
     notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than
     11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer
     under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrower
     shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an
     amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so
     reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
     promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
     unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and such Lender's Pro
     Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
     requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date
     in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
     minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of
     Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
     Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other
     than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or
     the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(i) may be given
     by telephone if immediately confirmed in

                                       24

<PAGE>

     writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not
     affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

          (ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall
     upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) make funds available to the
     Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
     Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
     the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the
     Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent,
     whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(iii), each Lender
     that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan
     to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
     funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

          (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
     refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set
     forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the
     Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C
     Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
     refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
     (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In
     such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be deemed
     payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
     constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
     participation obligation under this Section 2.02.

          (iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
     Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
     Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
     such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

          (v) Each Lender's obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to
     reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
     contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), shall be absolute and unconditional
     and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off,
     counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
     against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
     whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of
     Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
     similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve
     or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C
     Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
     Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

          (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
     for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such
     Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the
     time specified in Section 2.02(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to
     recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
     demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
     payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
     available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
     Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted
     to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
     amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
     error.

                                       25

<PAGE>

     (d) Repayment of Participations.
         ---------------------------

          (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any
     Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance
     in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02(c), if the
     Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment
     related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or
     otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the
     Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the
     Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share
     thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) is required to be
     returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
     of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the
     Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
     the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal
     to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
         --------------------
L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C
Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a
Borrowing of Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following:

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
     this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

          (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or
     other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary
     or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
     beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any
     other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
     contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
     instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

          (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under
     such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
     insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
     inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or
     otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
     Letter of Credit;

          (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with
     the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer
     under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in
     bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
     liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
     beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any
     arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

          (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
     similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense
     available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

                                       26

<PAGE>

     The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and
each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying
         ------------------
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Agent-Related Person
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C
Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related
to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with
respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this
assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower's pursuing
such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at
law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the
respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 2.02(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer,
and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C
Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if
         ---------------
the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter
of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason
remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount).

     (h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C
         ----------------------
Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such
agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the
"International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
         ---------------------
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a
Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued equal to the Applicable
Rate times the actual daily undrawn amount under each Letter of

                                       27

<PAGE>

Credit. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the actual daily undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
         ------------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
------
fronting fee in an amount with respect to each Letter of Credit issued equal to
1/8 of 1% per annum on the daily undrawn amount thereunder, due and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. In addition,
the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other
standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as
from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand
and are nonrefundable.

     (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any
         -------------------------------------------
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control.

     2.03 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

     (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other,
and each continuation of Loans as the same Type shall be made upon the
Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, (i) three Business Days prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, (ii) one Business Day prior to the conversion of Eurodollar Rate
Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower.
Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess
thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
Each Borrowing Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether
the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to
the other, or a continuation of Loans as the same Type, (ii) the requested date
of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be
a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted
or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans
are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a
Borrowing Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued
as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
in any such Borrowing Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will
be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

     (b) Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and
if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the

                                       28

<PAGE>

details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the
amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice.
Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (and,
if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds
as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of
the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or
(ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that
if, on the date of the Borrowing there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the
proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of
any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no
Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans
without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand
that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted
immediately to Base Rate Loans.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan upon
determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from
one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect at any given time
with respect to Loans.

     2.04 Prepayments.

     (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
         --------------------
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay in
whole or in part the Loans without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York time, (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
(ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any
prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such
notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied
by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

     Unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would arise as a result thereof any payment or prepayment of the Loans may be
reborrowed by Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

                                       29

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments from Net Cash Proceeds of Triggering Sales.
         ----------------------------------------------------------------

          (i) If any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds realized by a Company from
     any Triggering Sale (including any deferred purchase price therefore) has
     not been Reinvested within ninety (90) days from the receipt by such
     Company of such Net Cash Proceeds (including receipt of any deferred
     payments for any such Triggering Sale or portion thereof, if and when
     received), then on the Business Day following such ninetieth (90th) day the
     Commitments shall be permanently reduced, and the Loans shall be prepaid,
     in an amount equal to the Reduction Amount that is not so Reinvested.

          (ii) In the event that as of the last day of a fiscal quarter (the
     "Measurement Date") the Cumulative Nonreinvested Ordinary Course Sales
     Proceeds (computed as set forth in the next sentence) exceeds 1% of the
     MLP's consolidated assets as of the Measurement Date, then within 90 days
     after the Measurement Date the Borrower shall provide a report to the
     Administrative Agent setting forth information with respect to Dispositions
     of property in the ordinary course of business during such quarter and the
     Commitments shall be permanently reduced, and the Loans shall be prepaid,
     in an amount equal to such excess which has not been Reinvested by the date
     of such report (calculated without duplication of previous prepayments and
     Commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(ii)). "Cumulative
     Nonreinvested Ordinary Course Sales Proceeds" means the excess of (A) the
     Net Cash Proceeds from Dispositions in the ordinary course of business
     during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the
     Measurement Date over (B) the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from Dispositions
     of property in the ordinary course of business during such period which
     have been Reinvested.

          (iii) The prepayments provided for in this Section 2.04(b) shall be
     applied as follows, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and
     is continuing or would arise as a result thereof (whereupon the provisions
     of Section 2.11(d) shall apply): (A) first, as a payment of all
     Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding, until paid in full, and (B) second,
     as a prepayment of the Outstanding Loans. All mandatory prepayments shall
     be allocated Pro Rata to each Lender. All mandatory prepayments made
     pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall permanently reduce the Commitments.

          (iv) Within two (2) Business Days of a Company's receipt of Net Cash
     Proceeds from a Triggering Sale, the Borrower shall (or shall cause the
     applicable Company to) deposit an amount equal to the Reduction Amount into
     an account with the Administrative Agent (the "Proceeds Account");
     provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to deposit an
     amount that is more than the amount of the Commitments. Such proceeds shall
     remain in the Proceeds Account until the earlier of (x) the date such
     proceeds are Reinvested, or (y) the ninetieth (90th) day following the
     receipt of such proceeds. If such proceeds are not Reinvested as herein
     provided, such proceeds shall, on the Business Day following such ninetieth
     day, be used for prepayment of Loans and any excess shall be refunded to
     the Borrower, or, if there are no outstanding Loans, or unpaid outstanding
     Obligations then due, such proceeds shall be refunded to the Borrower, and
     the Commitments shall be permanently reduced as provided in Section
     2.04(b)(i); provided, however, that if the outstanding Loans are Eurodollar
     Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall hold such proceeds in the
     Proceeds Account until the Eurodollar Rate Loans can be prepaid without
     incurring funding losses under Section 3.05; provided, further, that if the
     Loans have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02 or otherwise,
     the Administrative Agent may, without notice, apply all funds in the
     Proceeds Account to repayment of the Obligations.

                                       30

<PAGE>

          (v) All funds held in the Proceeds Account shall be invested in time
     deposits or certificates of deposit issued by the Administrative Agent or
     in investments that constitute Permitted Investments (provided that the
     maturities thereof shall not exceed 90 days). All interest and income
     earned on the amounts held in the Proceeds Account shall be paid to the
     Borrower at the time the funds therein are applied as provided in this
     Section 2.04(b).

          (v) The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
     benefit of the Lenders, a lien on and security interest in and to the
     Proceeds Account and all monies, cash, checks, drafts, certificates of
     deposit, instruments, investment property, and other items ever received by
     Administrative Agent for deposit therein and held therein, as security for
     the Obligations. The rights granted by this Section 2.04(b)(v) shall be in
     addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent under any statutory
     banker's Lien or the common law right of setoff.

     (c) Mandatory Payments/Reductions. If for any reason the Outstanding Amount
         -----------------------------
of all Loans and L/C Obligations at any time exceeds the Aggregate Commitments
then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

     (d) Mandatory Prepayments: Interest/Consequential Loss. All prepayments
         --------------------------------------------------
under this Section 2.04 shall be made together with accrued interest to the date
of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and any amounts due under
Section 3.05.

     (e) Mandatory Prepayments: Clean-Down Period. The Borrower shall make such
         ----------------------------------------
prepayments of Borrowings used to fund Quarterly Distributions as are required
in order to comply with Section 6.15. For purposes of calculating compliance
with Section 6.15, when a prepayment of Loans is made pursuant to this Section
2.04, unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, such prepayment shall first be
considered to prepay Loans made for Quarterly Distributions, and second be
considered to prepay Loans made for other purposes permitted by Section 6.12.

     2.05 Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or permanently
reduce the Aggregate Commitments to an amount not less than the then Outstanding
Amount of all Loans and L/C Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall
be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., five Business
Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, and (ii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of any such notice of reduction or termination. Once reduced in
accordance with this Section, the Commitments may not be increased. Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Aggregate
Commitments of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All facility fees
and, if applicable, ticking fees on the portion of the Commitment so terminated
which have accrued to the effective date of any termination of Commitments shall
be paid on the effective date of such termination.

     2.06 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the
Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

     2.07 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i)
each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate.

                                       31

<PAGE>

     (b) While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, (i) the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and (ii) accrued
and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

     (d) If the designated rate applicable to any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the rate of interest on such Borrowing shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate, but any subsequent reductions in such designated rate shall not reduce the
rate of interest thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of
interest accrued thereon equals the amount of interest which would have accrued
thereon if such designated rate had at all times been in effect. In the event
that at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the
Outstanding Amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations, the total amount of interest
paid or accrued is less than the amount of interest which would have accrued if
such designated rates had at all times been in effect, then, at such time and to
the extent permitted by Law, the Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the
difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest which would have
accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect and the amount
of interest which would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had at all times been
in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on such
Outstanding Amount.

     2.08 Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
                    ------------
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a
facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the
Aggregate Commitments, regardless of usage. The facility fee shall accrue at all
times from the Conditions Effective Date until the Maturity Date and shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Conditions Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date. The facility fee shall
be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable
Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Rate was in effect. The facility fee shall accrue at all
times from and after the Conditions Effective Date, including at any time during
which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

     (b) Utilization Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
         ---------------
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a utilization
fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily aggregate Outstanding
Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations on each day that such aggregate Outstanding
Amount exceeds 50% of the Aggregate Commitments. The utilization fee shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Conditions Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date. The utilization fee
shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. The utilization fee shall accrue at
all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met.

     (c) Ticking Fee. In the event that the Conditions Effective Date has not
         -----------
occurred within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share, a ticking fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily
amount of the Aggregate Commitments. The ticking fee shall be due and payable
monthly in

                                       32

<PAGE>

arrears, with the first payment due on the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Closing Date, and each subsequent payment due thirty (30) days thereafter, until
the earlier of (i) the Conditions Effective Date, or (ii) the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate prior to
the Conditions Effective Date, the actual daily amount shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

     (d) Arranger's and Agency Fees. The Borrower shall pay certain fees to the
         --------------------------
Arranger for the Arranger's own account, and shall pay an agency fee to the
Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's own account, in the amounts
and at the times specified in the letter agreement, dated December 7, 2001 (the
"Agent/Arranger Fee Letter"), between the Borrower, the Arrangers and the
Administrative Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be
nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

     (e) Lenders' Upfront Fee. On the Conditions Effective Date, the Borrower
         --------------------
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an upfront fee in the agreed
amount in accordance with the Agent/Arranger Fee Letter. Such upfront fees are
for the credit facilities by the Lenders under this Agreement and are fully
earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each Lender is solely for its
own account and is nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

     2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate
Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case
may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of
interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and
the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee
thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue
on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is
paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made
shall bear interest for one day.

     2.10 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced
by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records
maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or
the L/C Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of
such Lender shall control. Upon the request of any Lender made through the
Administrative Agent, such Lender's Loans may be evidenced by one or more Notes.
Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date,
Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of the applicable Loans and payments
with respect thereto.

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such
Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

     2.11 Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall
be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise

                                       33

<PAGE>

expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in
immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the
date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such
payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending
Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, New
York time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

     (b) Subject to the definition of "Interest Period," if any payment to be
made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

     (c) If no Default or Event of Default exists and if no order of application
is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, payments and prepayments of the
Obligations shall be applied first to fees, second to accrued interest then due
and payable on the Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations, and then to
the remaining Obligations in the order and manner as Borrower may direct.

     (d) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully the Obligations, or if a Default or Event of
Default exists, any payment or prepayment shall be applied in the following
order: (i) to the payment of enforcement expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent, including Attorney Costs; (ii) to the ratable payment of all other fees,
expenses, and indemnities for which the Administrative Agent or Lenders have not
been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Documents (as used in this
Section 2.11(d)(ii), a "ratable payment" for any Lender or the Administrative
Agent shall be, on any date of determination, that proportion which the portion
of the total fees, expenses, and indemnities owed to such Lender or the
Administrative Agent bears to the total aggregate fees and indemnities owed to
all Lenders and the Administrative Agent on such date of determination); (iii)
to the payment of all Unreimbursed Amounts, (iv) to the ratable payment of
accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Amount of Loans (as used in this
Section 2.11(d)(iv), "ratable payment" means, for any Lender, on any date of
determination, that proportion which the accrued and unpaid interest on the
Outstanding Amount of Loans owed to such Lender bears to the total accrued and
unpaid interest on the Outstanding Amount of Loans owed to all Lenders); (v) to
the ratable payment of the Outstanding Amount of Loans (as used in this Section
2.11(d)(v), "ratable payment" means for any Lender, on any date of
determination, that proportion which the Outstanding Amount of Loans owed to
such Lender bears to the Outstanding Amount of Loans owed to all Lenders); (vi)
to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit; and (vii) to the payment of the
remaining Obligations, if any, in the order and manner Required Lenders deem
appropriate.

     (e) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent
prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such
Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not
be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount
to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not
in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

          (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall
     forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
     assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately
     available funds, together with interest thereon in respect

                                       34

<PAGE>

     of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by
     the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid
     to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, at the Federal
     Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

          (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall
     forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in
     immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period
     from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
     the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative
     Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
     Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to
     the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's
     Loan, included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay
     such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the
     Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the
     Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with
     interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to
     the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein
     shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
     Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the
     Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such
     Lender hereunder.

     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.

     (f) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any
Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article
IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (g) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund
participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of
any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan or purchase its participation.

     (h) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

     2.12 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its
ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall
immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, and/or
such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations held by them, as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment
in respect of such Loan or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata
with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall
to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such
paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so

                                       35

<PAGE>

recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative
Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of
manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each
case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender
that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after
such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions
and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the
Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the
jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or
maintains its Lending Office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be
required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such
payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall
forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future
stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or
charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").

     (c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the
Administrative Agent (for the account of such Lender) or to such Lender, at the
time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies as
necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes,
including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) such Lender would have
received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

                                       36

<PAGE>

     (d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts
payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment under
this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or
the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

     3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore
Dollar market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay interest on
the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will
not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender.

     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent determines
in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or
continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in
the applicable offshore Dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest
Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (b)
if the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the
Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, then the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that,
will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

     (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of a Change in Law, or such
Lender's compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate
Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or
a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection
with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any
such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other
Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of
taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or
any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under
the Laws of which such Lender is

                                       37

<PAGE>

organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated
by Section 3.04(c) utilized, as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the determination
of the Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with
a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
increased cost or reduction. No Lender shall have the right to recover such
additional amounts for any period more than 90 days prior to the date such
Lender notified the Borrower thereof.

     (b) If any Lender determines a Change In Law has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's
desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
reduction. No Lender shall have the right to recover such additional amounts for
any period more than 90 days prior to the date such Lender notified the Borrower
thereof.

     (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional costs on the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such
reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in
good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and
payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the
Borrower shall have received at least 15 days' prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender
fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such
notice.

     3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
incurred by it as a result of:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise); or

     (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the
Borrower.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore Dollar interbank
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

     3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. A certificate of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article
III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining
such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

                                       38

<PAGE>

     3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the
other Obligations.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall have received, in form and substance

                                   ARTICLE V.

      Each of the Borrower and the MLP, and each Guarantor by its execution

contemplated in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any
Governmental Authority, by or against any Loan Party or any of their respective

transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) if determined adversely, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.07 Ownership of Property; Liens. From and after the Conditions Effective
Date, (a) each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have good title to, or valid

than Permitted Liens.

concluded that (a) there are no claims alleging potential liability under or

<PAGE>

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) there is no environmental

Adverse Effect. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of
the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with
respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the MLP and the Borrower, nothing
has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification,
except to the extent that nonqualification could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made
all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and

Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the MLP nor the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate has engaged in or knowingly permitted to occur and, to the Borrower's

prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with
respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) no Pension
Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability that (when aggregated with any other
Unfunded Pension Liability) has resulted or could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) neither the Borrower nor any

                                       43

ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections

Adverse Effect.

subject to any limitation on a sale, pledge, or other restrictions hereunder.

     (b) No Loan Party, no Person controlling any Loan Party, or any Subsidiary

"holding company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company," within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, or (ii) is or is required to be registered as an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     (c) The Borrower will use all proceeds of Credit Extensions in the manner
set forth in Section 6.12.

     5.14 Disclosure. No statement, information, report, representation, or
warranty made by any Loan Party in any Loan Document or furnished to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party in
connection with any Loan Document contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

     5.15 Labor Matters. To the Borrower's and the MLP's knowledge, there are no
actual or threatened strikes, labor disputes, slowdowns, walkouts, or other
concerted interruptions of operations by the Servicing Employees that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this
Section, "Servicing Employees" means employees of the General Partner or other
Affiliate of Sunoco who perform services in connection with Borrower's and its
Subsidiaries' business.

     5.16 Compliance with Laws. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries are in

for such noncompliance which no longer exists, or which non-compliance could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any party that is not a party

to

                                       44

<PAGE>

receive such approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or the failure to do
such other action by, or provide such notice could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.18 Solvency. Neither the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis nor the MLP and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are "insolvent"
as such term is used and defined in (i) the United States Bankruptcy Code or
(ii) the New York Fraudulent Conveyance Act, N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Lawss.Section.
270-281.

interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of

waived by the Borrower;

     (c) declare that an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations be immediately due and payable by the Borrower, without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other

and require that the Borrower deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent
to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then
Outstanding Amount thereof); and

     (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies
available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in subsection

<PAGE>

beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a
portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit and, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be
affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which the Borrower
may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, the Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever.

collateral securing the L/C Obligations pursuant to the Cash Collateral

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

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

     (b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such
time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the
request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto;
provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the
application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Article IX
included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

     9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     9.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a)
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible
in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by any

                                       56

<PAGE>

Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party
to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or
any Affiliate thereof.

     9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan
Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it
so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or
consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly
permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders otherwise determine,
the Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative
Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the
consent or a vote of the Lenders.

     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 4.01, each Lender that has funded its Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing(s)
on the Conditions Effective Date (or, if there is no Borrowing made on such
date, each Lender other than Lenders who gave written objection to the
Administrative Agent prior to such date) shall be deemed to have consented to,
approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter
either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval,
acceptance or satisfaction, or required hereunder to be consented to or approved
by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

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

                                       57

<PAGE>

     9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent
hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have
disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to
the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all
applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by
the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any
Agent-Related Person.

     9.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party
to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of
any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person's gross
negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in
accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The
undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the
payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the
Administrative Agent.

     9.08 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America and
its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests
in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative
Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the
Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of
America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or
its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of such Loan

                                       58

<PAGE>

Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its
Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though
it were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, and the terms "Lender"
and "Lenders" include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

     9.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If
the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the
Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the
Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default
(which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of
the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor
administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean
such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent's
appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated.
After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.03 and
10.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor
administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the
date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless
thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of
the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

     9.10 Other Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons
identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a
"syndication agent," as a "co-documentation agent," any other type of agent
(other than the Administrative Agent), "lead arranger," or "book manager" shall
have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting
the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has
not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding
to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE X.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing
signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as
the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each of the Lenders
directly affected thereby and by the Borrower, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, do any of the following:

                                       59

     shall be necessary to amend the definition of "Default Rate" or to waive
     any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

          (d) change the percentage of the Aggregate Commitments or of the
     aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations which is
     required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder;

          (e) change the Pro Rata Share of any Lender;

          (f) Release any Guarantor from a Guaranty; or

          (g) amend this Section, or Section 2.12, or any provision herein
     providing for unanimous consent or other action by all the Lenders;

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Required Lenders or all
the Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer
under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter
of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to
the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights
or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; and (iii) the Agent/Arranger Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or
privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender that has failed to
fund any portion of the Loans or participations in L/C Obligations required to
be funded by it hereunder shall not have any right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Pro Rata Share of such
Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender.

     10.02 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

     (a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and
         -------
other communications provided for hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and mailed, faxed or
delivered, to the address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection (c) below)
electronic mail address specified for notices on Schedule 10.02 (for the
Borrower, any Guarantor and the Administrative Agent) or on the Administrative
Details Form (for the other Lenders); or, in the case of the Borrower, the
Guarantors the Administrative Agent, or the L/C Issuer, to such other address as
shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties, and in the
case of any other party, to such other address as shall be designated by such
party in a notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the L/C Issuer.
All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made
upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the intended recipient and
(ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by the intended
recipient; (B) if

                                       60

<PAGE>

delivered by mail, four Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage
prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed
by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is
subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below), when delivered; provided,
however, that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent or
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually
received by such Person. Any notice or other communication permitted to be
given, made or confirmed by telephone hereunder shall be given, made or
confirmed by means of a telephone call to the intended recipient at the number
specified in accordance with this Section, it being understood and agreed that a
voicemail message shall in no event be effective as a notice, communication or
confirmation hereunder.

     (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may
         ---------------------------------------------------
be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such
documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force
and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan
Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a
manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request
or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document
or signature.

     (c) Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and internet and
         ------------------------------
intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as
financial statements and other information, and to distribute Loan Documents for
execution by the parties thereto, and shall not be recognized hereunder for any
other purpose.

     (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent
         --------------------------------------------
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
telephonic Borrowing Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower
even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each
Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and
other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.

     10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

     10.04 Attorney Costs; Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication,
administration and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof
and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are
consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or
preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any

                                       61

<PAGE>

workout or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal
proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all
Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of
independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. The agreements in this Section shall survive
the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all the other Obligations.

     10.05 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, each of the Borrower, the MLP and each other Guarantor (by
execution of a Guaranty), jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, save and
hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Syndication Agent-Related Person,
each Documentation Agent-Related Person, each Arranger, each Lender, the L/C
Issuer and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel,
agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against:
(a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted
against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than the Administrative Agent or any
Lender) relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of
action that such Person asserts or may assert against any Loan Party, any
Affiliate of any Loan Party or any of their respective officers or directors,
arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use or
contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loans, or the relationship of any Loan
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) any and all claims, demands, actions
or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or
the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee,
arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use or
contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loans, or the relationship of any Loan
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) without limiting the foregoing, any
and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted or
imposed against any Indemnitee, (i) under the application of any Environmental
Law applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
properties or assets, including the treatment or disposal of Hazardous
Substances on any of their properties or assets, (ii) as a result of the breach
or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with any Environmental Law
applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (iii) due to past ownership by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their properties or assets or past activity
on any of their properties or assets which, though lawful and fully permissible
at the time, could result in present liability, (iv) due to the presence, use,
storage, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Substances on or under, or the
escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, any of
the properties owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including
any liability asserted or arising under any Environmental Law), regardless of
whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, or
(v) due to any other environmental, health or safety condition in connection
with the Loan Documents; (d) any administrative or investigative proceeding by
any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action
or cause of action described in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above; and (e) any
and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or
expenses (including Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a
result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action
or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection
with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all
cases, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF THE STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE OF AN
INDEMNITEE, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand,
action, cause of action or proceeding (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to
indemnification for any claim to the extent caused by its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
termination of the Commitments and repayment of all the other Obligations.

                                       62

     10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such
set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its
applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect.

     10.07 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it);
provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment,
determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than
$1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the Loans or the Commitment assigned, and (iii) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (such fee
to be paid by the assignor or the assignee, as may be agreed between them).
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.07, 10.04 and 10.05). Upon request, the Borrower (at its
expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the assigning
Lender and the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does

                                       63

<PAGE>

not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

     (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C Obligations)
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
that would (i) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to
be paid to such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other
amounts payable to such Participant, or (iii) release any Guarantor from the
Guaranty. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and
3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted
by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.

     (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.15 as though
it were a Lender.

     (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if
any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     (g) If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment or to an Eligible
Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does
not meet the minimum assignment threshold

                                       64

<PAGE>

specified in clause (i) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section
10.07(b)), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business
Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by
the Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days' notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among
the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure
by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of
Bank of America as L/C Issuer. Bank of America shall retain all the rights and
obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all
L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders
to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant
to Section 2.02(c)).

     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender
(a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC"),
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all
or any part of any Loan or L/C Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise
be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that
(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan or
L/C Advance, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan or L/C Advance in accordance with
and at the times required by this Agreement, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to the terms hereof, and
(iii) each SPC that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the
meaning of the Code must comply with the provisions of Section 10.15. The making
of a Loan or L/C Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan or L/C Advance were
made by such Granting Lender. An SPC shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Article III than its Granting Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to any Loan or L/C Advance made by such SPC.
Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or
similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall
remain with the Granting Lender). All voting rights under this Agreement shall
be exercised solely by the Granting Lender and each Granting Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this
Agreement, including all obligations of a Lender in respect of Loans and L/C
Advances made by its SPC. Each Granting Lender shall act as administrative agent
for its SPC and give and receive notices and other communications hereunder. Any
payments for the account of any SPC shall be paid to its Granting Lender as
administrative agent for such SPC and neither the Borrower nor the
Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any Granting Lender's application
of any such payments. 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 or any state thereof. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or a portion of its interests
in any Loan or L/C Advances to the Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the
funding or maintenance of Loans and L/C Advances and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans and L/C
Advances to any

                                       65

<PAGE>

rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This section may not be amended
without the written consent of each SPC.

     10.08 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without
the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to directors, officers, employees,
auditors, accountants, counsel or other professional advisors of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement and which (i)
the Borrower in good faith considers to be confidential and (ii) is either
clearly marked confidential or is designated by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in writing as confidential, provided that
any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally
available to the public, (b) 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 Lender
or submitted to or required by the Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States of America or
elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in
response to any summons or subpoena in connection with any litigation, (d) in
order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such
Lender, (e) to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement, provided that such Eligible Assignee or Participant or
prospective Eligible Assignee or Participant executes an agreement containing
provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 10.08, (f)
in connection with the exercise of any remedy by such Lender following an Event
of Default pertaining to the Loan Documents, (g) in connection with any
litigation involving such Lender pertaining to the Loan Documents, (h) to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, or (i) to any Affiliate of any Lender (it
being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep
such information confidential).

     10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without
prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being
waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by,
and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or
the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

     10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Regardless of any provision contained in
any Loan Document, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall ever be
entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or apply, as interest
on all or any part of the Obligations, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate,
and, if any Lender ever does so, then such excess shall be deemed a partial
prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such and any remaining excess
shall be refunded to the Borrower. In determining if the interest paid or
payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Lenders shall, to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a
single extension of credit (and the Lenders and the Borrower agree that such is
the case and that provision herein for multiple Borrowings is for convenience
only), (b) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary prepayments and

                                       66

the effects thereof, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total
amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations.
However, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of
the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual
period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Lenders shall refund
such excess, and, in such event, the Lenders shall not, to the extent permitted
by Law, be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for,
charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum
Amount. If, contrary to the parties' intent expressed in Section 10.16(a), the
Laws of the State of Texas are applicable for purposes of determining the
"Maximum Rate" or the "Maximum Amount," then those terms mean the "weekly
ceiling" from time to time in effect under Texas Finance Code Section 303.305,
as amended. The Borrower agrees that Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, as
amended (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving
tri-party accounts), does not apply to the Obligations.

     10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral,
on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document
was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and
shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in
accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

     10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue
in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

     10.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which the Borrower is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

     10.15 Foreign Lenders. Each Lender that is a "foreign corporation,
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to
withholding under the Code (or after accepting an assignment of an interest
herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from
withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto
(relating to all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from U.S.
withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person

                                       67

<PAGE>

shall (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly
completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as
shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing
authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and
regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from United States
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Agent of any change
in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption, and
(c) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary
(including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of
applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes
from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above
forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from
any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without
reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent
did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect
of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor,
including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the
Lenders under this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

     10.16 Governing Law.

<PAGE>

TO DESIGNATE AND MAINTAIN AN AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN NEW YORK IN
CONNECTION WITH ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND TO DELIVER
TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EVIDENCE THEREOF.

     10.17 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury, Etc. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
AND EACH GUARANTOR, BY EXECUTION OF A GUARANTY, HEREBY (a) EXPRESSLY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED

CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN

THIS SECTION 10.1(b) SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM
DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT HAS ENGAGED IN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

     10.18 No General Partner's Liability. The Lenders agree for themselves and
their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any
Note, that, for so long as the sole asset of the General Partner is the general
partner interest in the Borrower, any claim against the Borrower which may arise
under any Loan Document shall be made only against and shall be limited to the
assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and that no judgment, order or
execution entered in any suit, action or proceeding, whether legal or equitable,
on this Agreement, such Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
obtained or enforced against the General Partner or its assets for the purpose
of obtaining satisfaction and payment of such Note, the Indebtedness evidenced
thereby or any claims arising thereunder or under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, any right to proceed against the General Partner individually or
its respective assets being hereby expressly waived, renounced and remitted by
the Lenders for themselves and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing
in this Section 10.18, however, shall be construed so as to prevent the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other holder of any Note from commencing
any action, suit or proceeding with respect to or causing legal papers to be
served upon the General Partner for the purpose of obtaining jurisdiction over
the Borrower.

     10.19 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by
evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the
parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

                           FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

     THIS GUARANTY is executed as of February   , 2002, jointly and severally by
                                              --
the undersigned (each a "Guarantor" and collectively the "Guarantors"), for the
benefit of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders).

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     A. Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Borrower"), Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "MLP"), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent
(including its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity,
"Administrative Agent"), and the Lenders now or hereafter party to the Credit
Agreement (including their respective permitted successors and assigns,
"Lenders") have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2002
(as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement");

     B. Provisions of the Credit Agreement permit Guarantors to directly or
indirectly receive proceeds of Borrowings made pursuant thereto; and

     C. This Guaranty is integral to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents and the execution and delivery hereof, is a condition precedent to
Lenders' obligations to extend credit under the Loan Documents.

     ACCORDINGLY, for adequate and sufficient consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders the prompt payment of
the Guaranteed Debt (defined below) as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same
meanings when used, unless otherwise defined, in this Guaranty. As used in this
Guaranty:

     Borrower means Borrower, Borrower as a debtor-in-possession, and any
receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or similar party
appointed for Borrower or for all or substantially all of Borrower's assets
under any Debtor Relief Law.

     Credit Agreement is defined in the recitals to this Guaranty.

     Guaranteed Debt means, collectively, (a) the Obligations and (b) all
present and future costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses reasonably incurred by
Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce Borrower's, any Guarantor's, or
any other obligor's payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt, including, without
limitation (to the extent lawful), all present and future amounts that would
become due but for the operation of Sections 502 or 506 or any other provision
of Title 11 of the United States Code and all present and future accrued and
unpaid interest (including, without limitation, all post-maturity interest and
any post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws to which
Borrower or any Guarantor becomes subject).

     Guarantor and Guarantors is defined in the preamble to this Guaranty.

                                   Exhibit E-1
                                     Page 1
                           Form of Subsidiary Guaranty

<PAGE>

     Lender means, individually, or Lenders means, collectively, on any date of
determination, the Lenders and their permitted successors and assigns.

     Subordinated Debt means, for each Guarantor, all present and future
obligations of any Company to such Guarantor, whether those obligations are (a)
direct, indirect, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several,
or joint and several, (b) due or to become due to such Guarantor, (c) held by or
are to be held by such Guarantor, (d) created directly or acquired by assignment
or otherwise, or (e) evidenced in writing.

     2. GUARANTY. This is an absolute, irrevocable, and continuing guaranty of
payment, not collection, and the circumstance that at any time or from time to
time the Guaranteed Debt may be paid in full does not affect the obligation of
any Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Debt incurred after that. This
Guaranty remains in effect until the Guaranteed Debt is fully paid and
performed, and all commitments to extend any credit under the Loan Documents
have terminated. No Guarantor may rescind or revoke its obligations with respect
to the Guaranteed Debt. Notwithstanding any contrary provision, it is the
intention of Guarantors, Lenders, and Administrative Agent that the amount of
the Guaranteed Debt guaranteed by each Guarantor by this Guaranty shall be in,
but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent conveyance,
fraudulent transfer, or similar Laws applicable to each such Guarantor.
Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty
or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with the payment of
any of the Guaranteed Debt, the amount of the Guaranteed Debt guaranteed by any
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to
the largest amount that would not render such Guarantor's obligations hereunder
subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or
any comparable provision of any applicable state Law.

     3. CONSIDERATION. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that its liability
under this Guaranty may reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly benefit
it.

     4. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. If any Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness
owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender, other than under this
Guaranty, that liability may not be in any manner impaired or affected by this
Guaranty. The Rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders under this Guaranty are
cumulative of any and all other Rights that Administrative Agent or Lenders may
ever have against any Guarantor. The exercise by Administrative Agent or Lenders
of any Right under this Guaranty or otherwise does not preclude the concurrent
or subsequent exercise of any other Right.

     5. PAYMENT UPON DEMAND. If an Event of Default exists, each Guarantor
shall, on demand and without further notice of dishonor and without any notice
having been given to any Guarantor previous to that demand of either the
acceptance by Administrative Agent or Lenders of this Guaranty or the creation
or incurrence of any Guaranteed Debt, pay the amount of the Guaranteed Debt then
due and payable to Administrative Agent and Lenders; provided that, if an Event
of Default exists and Administrative Agent or Lenders cannot, for any reason,
accelerate the Obligations, then the Guaranteed Debt shall be, as among
Guarantors, Administrative Agent, and Lenders, a fully matured, due, and payable
obligation of Guarantors to Administrative Agent and Lenders. It is not
necessary for Administrative Agent or Lenders, in order to enforce that payment
by any Guarantor, first or contemporaneously to institute suit or exhaust
remedies against Borrower or others liable on any Guaranteed Debt.

                                   Exhibit E-1
                                     Page 2
                           Form of Subsidiary Guaranty

<PAGE>

     6. SUBORDINATION. The Subordinated Debt is expressly subordinated to the
full and final payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, each Guarantor agrees not to accept any
payment of any Subordinated Debt from any Company. In the event of (i) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment,
composition or other similar proceeding relating to any Company, its creditors
as such or its property, (ii) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or
other winding-up of any Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not
involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (iii) any assignment by any
Company for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) any other marshalling of the
assets of a Company, the Obligations (including any interest thereon accruing at
the legal rate after the commencement of any such proceedings and any additional
interest that would have accrued thereon but for the commencement of such
proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any holder of
any Subordinated Debt. If any Guarantor receives any payment of any Subordinated
Debt in violation of the terms of this Section, such Guarantor shall hold that
payment in trust for Administrative Agent and Lenders and promptly turn it over
to Administrative Agent, in the form received (with any necessary endorsements),
to be applied to the Obligations.

     7. SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION. Until payment in full of the Guaranteed
Debt and the termination of the Obligations of Lenders to extend credit under
the Loan Documents, (a) no Guarantor may assert, enforce, or otherwise exercise
any Right of subrogation to any of the Rights or Liens of Administrative Agent
or Lenders or any other beneficiary against Borrower or any other obligor on the
Guaranteed Debt or any collateral or other security or any Right of recourse,
reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification, or similar Right
against Borrower or any other obligor on any Guaranteed Debt or any Guarantor of

                                FORM OF GUARANTY
                                      (MLP)

     THIS GUARANTY is executed as of February   , 2002, by the undersigned
                                              --
("Guarantor"), for the benefit of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking
association (in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders).

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     A. Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Borrower"), Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "MLP"), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent
(including its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity,
"Administrative Agent"), and the Lenders now or hereafter party to the Credit
Agreement (including their respective permitted successors and assigns,
"Lenders") have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2002
(as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement");

     B. Borrower is a Subsidiary of Guarantor, and therefore, Guarantor will
derive direct and substantial benefits from the extensions of credit under the
Credit Agreement; and

     C. This Guaranty is integral to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents and the execution and delivery hereof, is a condition precedent to
Lenders' obligations to extend credit under the Loan Documents.

     ACCORDINGLY, for adequate and sufficient consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor guarantees to
Administrative Agent and Lenders the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Debt
(defined below) as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same
meanings when used, unless otherwise defined, in this Guaranty. As used in this
Guaranty:

     Borrower means Borrower, Borrower as a debtor-in-possession, and any
receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or similar party
appointed for Borrower or for all or substantially all of Borrower's assets
under any Debtor Relief Law.

     Credit Agreement is defined in the recitals to this Guaranty.

     Guaranteed Debt means, collectively, (a) the Obligations and (b) all
present and future costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses reasonably incurred by
Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce Borrower's, the Guarantor's, or
any other obligor's payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt, including, without
limitation (to the extent lawful), all present and future amounts that would
become due but for the operation of Sections 502 or 506 or any other provision
of Title 11 of the United States Code and all present and future accrued and
unpaid interest (including, without limitation, all post-maturity interest and
any post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws to which
Borrower or the Guarantor becomes subject).

     Guarantor is defined in the preamble to this Guaranty.

                                  Exhibit E-2
                                     Page 1
                             Form of Guaranty (MLP)

<PAGE>

     Lender means, individually, or Lenders means, collectively, on any date of
determination, the Lenders and their permitted successors and assigns.

     Subordinated Debt means, all present and future obligations of any Company
to the Guarantor, whether those obligations are (a) direct, indirect, fixed,
contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, (b)
due or to become due to the Guarantor, (c) held by or are to be held by the
Guarantor, (d) created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise, or (e)
evidenced in writing.

     2. GUARANTY. This is an absolute, irrevocable, and continuing guaranty of
payment, not collection, and the circumstance that at any time or from time to
time the Guaranteed Debt may be paid in full does not affect the obligation of
the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Debt incurred after that. This
Guaranty remains in effect until the Guaranteed Debt is fully paid and
performed, all commitments to extend any credit under the Loan Documents have
terminated and all Letters of Credit have terminated. The Guarantor may not
rescind or revoke its obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Debt.

     3. CONSIDERATION. The Guarantor represents and warrants that its liability
under this Guaranty will directly benefit it.

     4. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. If the Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness
owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender, other than under this
Guaranty, that liability may not be in any manner impaired or affected by this
Guaranty. The Rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders under this Guaranty are
cumulative of any and all other Rights that Administrative Agent or Lenders may
ever have against the Guarantor. The exercise by Administrative Agent or Lenders
of any Right under this Guaranty or otherwise does not preclude the concurrent
or subsequent exercise of any other Right.

     5. PAYMENT UPON DEMAND. If an Event of Default exists, the Guarantor shall,
on demand and without further notice of dishonor and without any notice having
been given to the Guarantor previous to that demand of either the acceptance by
Administrative Agent or Lenders of this Guaranty or the creation or incurrence
of any Guaranteed Debt, pay the amount of the Guaranteed Debt then due and
payable to Administrative Agent and Lenders; provided that, if an Event of
Default exists and Administrative Agent or Lenders cannot, for any reason,
accelerate the Obligations, then the Guaranteed Debt shall be, as among the
Guarantor, Administrative Agent, and Lenders, a fully matured, due, and payable
obligation of the Guarantor to Administrative Agent and Lenders. It is not
necessary for Administrative Agent or Lenders, in order to enforce that payment
by the Guarantor, first or contemporaneously to institute suit or exhaust
remedies against Borrower or others liable on any Guaranteed Debt.

     6. SUBORDINATION. The Subordinated Debt is expressly subordinated to the
full and final payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Guarantor agrees not to accept any
payment of any Subordinated Debt from any Company. In the event of (i) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment,
composition or other similar proceeding relating to any Company, its creditors
as such or its property, (ii) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or
other winding-up of any Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not
involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (iii) any assignment by any
Company for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) any other marshalling of the
assets of a Company, the Obligations (including any interest thereon accruing at
the legal rate after the commencement of any such

                                   Exhibit E-2
                                     Page 2
                             Form of Guaranty (MLP)

<PAGE>

proceedings and any additional interest that would have accrued thereon but for
the commencement of such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any
payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be
made to any holder of any Subordinated Debt. If the Guarantor receives any
payment of any Subordinated Debt in violation of the terms of this Section, such
Guarantor shall hold that payment in trust for Administrative Agent and Lenders
and promptly turn it over to Administrative Agent, in the form received (with
any necessary endorsements), to be applied to the Obligations.

     7. SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION. Until payment in full of the Guaranteed
Debt and the termination of the Obligations of Lenders to extend credit under
the Loan Documents, (a) the Guarantor may not assert, enforce, or otherwise
exercise any Right of subrogation to any of the Rights or Liens of
Administrative Agent or Lenders or any other beneficiary against Borrower or any
other obligor on the Guaranteed Debt or any collateral or other security or any
Right of recourse, reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification, or
similar Right against Borrower or any other obligor on any Guaranteed Debt or
any other guarantor of it, and (b) the Guarantor defers all of the foregoing
Rights (whether they arise in equity, under contract, by statute, under common
Law, or otherwise). Upon payment in full of the Guaranteed Debt and the
termination of the obligations of Lenders to extend credit under the Loan
Documents, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative
Agent and Lenders against Borrower and the other obligors.

     8. NO RELEASE. The Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this
Guaranty may not be released, diminished, or affected by the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events: (a) any taking or accepting of any
additional guaranty or any other security or assurance for any Guaranteed Debt;
(b) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, impairment, or loss of any
collateral securing any Guaranteed Debt; (c) any full or partial release of the
liability of any other obligor on the Obligations, except for any final release
resulting from payment in full of such Obligations; (d) the modification of, or
waiver of compliance with, any terms of any other Loan Document; (e) the
insolvency, bankruptcy, or lack of corporate or partnership power of any other
obligor at any time liable for any Guaranteed Debt, whether now existing or
occurring in the future; (f) any renewal, extension, or rearrangement of any
Guaranteed Debt or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that
may be granted or given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other
obligor on the Obligations; (g) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or
refusal of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take or prosecute any action in
connection with the Guaranteed Debt or to foreclose, take, or prosecute any
action in connection with any Loan Document; (h) any failure of Administrative
Agent or any Lender to notify the Guarantor of any renewal, extension, or
assignment of any Guaranteed Debt, or the release of any security or of any
other action taken or refrained from being taken by Administrative Agent or any
Lender against Borrower or any new agreement between Administrative Agent, any
Lender, and Borrower; it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor
any Lender is required to give the Guarantor any notice of any kind under any
circumstances whatsoever with respect to or in connection with any Guaranteed
Debt, other than any notice required to be given in this Guaranty; (i) the
unenforceability of any Guaranteed Debt against any other obligor or any
security securing same because it exceeds the amount permitted by Law, the act
of creating it is ultra vires, the officers creating it exceeded their authority
or violated their fiduciary duties in connection with it, or otherwise; (j) any
payment of the Obligations to Administrative Agent or any Lender is held to
constitute a preference under any Debtor Relief Law or for any other reason
Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund that payment or make
payment to someone else (and in each such instance this Guaranty will be
reinstated in an amount equal to that payment); or (k) any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable
discharge of, Borrower or the Guarantor.

     9. WAIVERS. By execution hereof, the Guarantor waives presentment and
demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment, and agrees that its
liability with respect to the Guaranteed Debt (or any part thereof) shall not be
affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of the Obligations
(or any part thereof). To the maximum extent lawful, the Guarantor waives all
Rights by which it might be entitled to require suit on an accrued Right of
action in respect of any Guaranteed Debt or require suit against Borrower or
others.

     10. LOAN DOCUMENTS. By execution hereof, the Guarantor covenants and agrees
that certain representations, warranties, terms, covenants, and conditions set
forth in the Loan Documents are applicable to the Guarantor by their terms and
shall be imposed upon the Guarantor, and the Guarantor reaffirms that each such
representation and warranty is true and correct and covenants and agrees to
promptly and properly perform, observe, and comply with each such term,
covenant, or condition. Moreover, the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that
this Guaranty is subject to the offset provisions of the Loan Documents in favor
of Administrative Agent and Lenders. In the event the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall cease to remain in effect for any reason whatsoever
during any period when any part of the Guaranteed Debt remains unpaid, the
terms, covenants, and agreements of the Credit Agreement or such other Loan
Document incorporated herein by reference shall nevertheless continue in full
force and effect as obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

     11. RELIANCE AND DUTY TO REMAIN INFORMED. The Guarantor confirms that it
has executed and delivered this Guaranty after reviewing the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents and such other information as it has deemed

<PAGE>

          Commonwealth of Pennsylvania dated           , 2002, attesting to the
                                             ----------
          continued existence and good standing of the Transaction Parties in
          Delaware, Texas, and Pennsylvania, as applicable;

     (g)  copies of such corporate documents and records of the Transaction
          Parties, certificates of officers and representatives of certain of
          the Transaction Parties and such other agreements, documents,
          instruments and certificates of public officials and other Persons as
          we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of rendering
          the opinion expressed herein; and

     (h)  such matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a
          basis for the opinion expressed herein.

     B.   Assumptions

     In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have assumed, with your
permission, without independent investigation or inquiry, (a) the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by all parties to
such documents (other than the Transaction Parties) and that the Loan Documents
are valid, binding and enforceable (subject to the limitations on enforceability
of the types referred to in the qualifications below) against the parties
thereto (other than the Transaction Parties); (b) the legal capacity of natural
persons; (c) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents that we
examined; (d) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals;
and (e) the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us
as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.

     As to questions of fact material to the opinion hereinafter expressed, we
have relied without investigation upon the representations and warranties of the
Borrower and the Guarantors made in the Loan Documents and on such corporate
records and certificates from officers and representatives of the Transaction
Parties and from public officials as we have deemed necessary and appropriate
for this opinion. We have made no examination or investigation to verify the
accuracy or completeness of any financial, accounting or statistical information
set forth in the Loan Documents or otherwise furnished to you and, accordingly,
express no opinion with respect thereto.

C. Opinion

     Based upon our examination and review as set forth in Section A hereof, and
subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth
in Sections B and D hereof, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   The Borrower is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing
          and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; the
          Borrower's GP is a limited liability company duly organized, validly
          existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
          the MLP's GP is a limited liability company duly organized, validly
          existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
          Pennsylvania; and each of the Guarantors is a limited partnership or
          limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
          standing under the laws of the state of its organization, as indicated
          in the first paragraph of this opinion.

     2.   Each Transaction Party has the partnership or company power and
          authority to own and lease its property and to conduct the business in
          which it is currently engaged. The

                                   Exhibit F-1
                                     Page 2
                           Form of Opinion of Counsel

<PAGE>

          execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the
          Credit Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (a) are within its
          partnership or company powers; (b) will not contravene (i) the
          Organization Documents of any Transaction Party or (ii) any Applicable
          Law (as defined below); (c) will not breach or result in a default
          under any Material Agreement; and (d) will not result in or require
          the creation or imposition of any Lien prohibited by the Credit
          Documents.

          "Applicable Law" means the Delaware Partnership Act, the Delaware
           --------------
          Limited Liability Company Act and those laws, rules and regulations of
          the State of New York, Texas and the United States of America and the
          rules and regulations adopted thereunder, which, in our experience,
          are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by
          the Transaction Documents. Furthermore, the term "Applicable Laws"
          does not include, and we express no opinion with regard to any: (a)
          New York, Texas or federal law, rule or regulation relating to (i)
          pollution or protection of the environment, (ii) zoning, land use,
          building or construction, (iii) occupational, safety and health or
          other similar matters or (iv) labor, employee rights and benefits,
          including the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
          amended; (b) state or federal laws and regulations regarding the
          regulation of utilities; (c) antitrust and trade regulation laws; (d)
          tax laws, rules or regulations; (e) copyright, patent and trademark
          laws, rules or regulations; and (e) state or federal securities laws.

     3.   The Credit Agreement and the Cash Collateral Agreement have been duly
          authorized, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent by the
          Borrower, and the Guaranties have been duly authorized, executed and
          delivered to the Administrative Agent by each of the Guarantors.

     4.   No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or
          filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required
          for the due execution, delivery and performance by any Transaction
          Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or the
          consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents,
          except, in the case of such performance, for such authorizations,
          approvals, actions, notices and filings which have been made or
          obtained.

     5.   The Credit Agreement and each of the Notes constitute valid and
          binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower
          in accordance with their respective terms, and each Guaranty
          constitutes valid and binding obligations of each of the Guarantors
          enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with its
          terms.

     6.   To our knowledge, there are no pending actions or actions threatened
          in writing or proceedings against any Transaction Party before any
          court, governmental agency or arbitrator that purport to affect the
          legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Credit
          Documents, or that would reasonably be expected to have a material
          adverse effect upon the financial condition or operations of any
          Transaction Party, taken as a whole.

     7.   No Transaction Party is an "investment company" or a company
          "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the
          Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                                   Exhibit F-1
                                     Page 3
                           Form of Opinion of Counsel

<PAGE>

     8.   No Transaction Party 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.

D. Qualifications and Exceptions

     The opinion rendered above is subject in all respects to the following
qualifications and comments:

     1.   Our opinion above, as to enforceability, is subject to the effect of
          any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
          reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or
          affecting creditors' rights generally.

     2.   Our opinion is subject to the effect of general principles of equity
          (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). In rendering
          our opinion, we have assumed that the parties to the Credit Documents
          will perform their obligations and exercise their rights under such
          documents within the standards of reasonableness, good faith and fair
          dealing imposed by applicable law.

     3.   We express no opinion with respect to the legality, validity, binding
          nature or enforceability of any of the following provisions found in
          the Credit Documents, if any: (i) provisions relating to waivers,
          precluding a party from asserting certain claims or defenses or from
          obtaining or exercising certain rights, releases and remedies, or
          excusing a party from damages, liability or obligations to the extent
          such provisions may violate public policy or otherwise violate
          applicable law; (ii) provisions relating to subrogation rights, delay
          or omission of enforcement of rights or remedies, severability or set
          offs that violate applicable law; (iii) provisions obligating a party
          to submit to the jurisdiction or venue of any court; (iv) provisions
          purporting to establish evidentiary standards for suits or proceedings
          to enforce the Credit Documents; (v) provisions that decisions by a
          party are conclusive; (vi) provisions purporting to effect the
          automatic service of process on any person; and (vii) provisions
          purporting to indemnify or exculpate the Administrative Agent or the
          Lenders from the consequences of their own negligence, willful
          misconduct or strict liability.

     4.   With respect to our opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above as to the
          valid existence and good standing of the Borrower, the Borrower's GP,
          the MLP, the MLP's GP and the Borrowers' Subsidiaries' GP, we have
          relied solely on the certificate dated           , of the Secretary of
                                                 ----------
          State of the State of Delaware, the certificate dated              ,
                                                                -------------
          of the Secretary of the State of Texas and the certificate dated
                       , of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, with respect
          -------------
          to the period from that date to the date of this opinion letter, a
          certificate of an officer of the Borrower.

     5.   Qualification of any statement or opinion herein by the use of the
          words "to our knowledge" means that during the course of the
          representation in connection with these transactions contemplated by
          the Credit Agreement, no information has come to our attention that
          would give us current knowledge of the existence of facts or matters
          so qualified. We have not undertaken any investigation to determine
          the existence of facts,

                                   Exhibit F-1

<PAGE>

          and no inference as to our knowledge thereof shall be drawn from the
          fact of the representation by us of any party or otherwise.

     6.   We are members of the bar of the States of New York and Texas, and we
          express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
          laws of the States of New York and Texas, the Delaware Partnership
          Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Federal laws
          of the United States of America.

          opinions may be implied or inferred beyond the matters expressly
          stated herein.

     8.   The opinion expressed herein is as of the date hereof, and we assume
          no obligation to update or supplement such opinion to reflect any
          facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any
          changes in law that may hereafter occur.

     9.   This opinion is being furnished only to the addressees named above,
          and has been rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the
          Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and may not
          be used, circulated, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to for
          any other purpose without our prior written consent; provided,
          however, that any Person that becomes a Lender or successor
          Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement may
          rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to such Person and
          delivered on the date hereof.

                                                          Very truly yours,

                                       ----------------

     In connection with the opinions expressed herein, I, or attorneys reporting
to me, have examined and relied upon copies of the following documents:

     (a)  the Credit Agreement, including all exhibits, schedules, and
          attachments thereto, and any Notes issued pursuant thereto (the
          "Notes");

     (b)  the Guaranties dated as of even date with the Credit Agreement
          executed by each of the Guarantors (the "Guaranty");

     (c)  the Cash Collateral Account Agreement;

     (d)  Certificates of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania dated           ,
                                                                 ----------
          2002, attesting to the continued existence and good standing of the
          MLP's GP in Pennsylvania; and

     (e)  the Organization Documents of the MLP's GP and all amendments thereto.

     Those documents identified in items (a), (b) and (c) above are collectively
referred to herein as the "Credit Documents." In connection with this opinion, I
or other attorneys acting under my supervision have (i) investigated such
questions of law, (ii) examined such partnership and company

                                   Exhibit F-2
                                     Page 1
                           Form of Opinion of Counsel

documents and records of the Transaction Parties and certificates of public
officials, and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives
of the Transaction Parties and made such investigations as I or other attorneys
under my supervision have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of
this opinion. I have not, nor have other attorneys under my supervision,
conducted independent investigations or inquiries to determine the existence of
matters, actions, proceedings, items, documents, facts, judgments, decrees,
franchises, certificates, permits, or the like and have made no independent
search of the records of any court, arbitrator, or governmental authority
affecting any Person, and no inference as to my knowledge thereof shall be drawn
from the fact of my representation of any party or otherwise.

     In rendering the opinions herein, I have assumed without independent
verification (i) the genuineness of all signatures of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, (ii) the capacity of the signing officers of each of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (iii) the authenticity of all documents
submitted to me as original and the conformity with the authentic originals of
all documents submitted to me as copies, and (iv) the due execution and
delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Agreement by the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and the enforceability of the Agreement against the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the other qualifications,
limitations, and assumptions set forth below and upon such other matters as I
have deemed appropriate, I am of the opinion that:

     1.   The MLP's GP is a limited liability company duly organized, validly
          existing, and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
          Pennsylvania.

     2.   The MLP's GP has the company power and authority to own and lease its
          property and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged.
          The execution, delivery, and performance by the MLP's GP of the Credit
          Documents on behalf of the MLP and the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are (a) within its
          company powers, (b) will not contravene (i) the Organization Documents
          of the MLP's GP, (ii) any law, rule, or regulation of the Commonwealth
          of Pennsylvania applicable to the MLP's GP, or (iii) any contractual
          or legal restriction applicable to the MLP's GP, and (c) with regard
          to the MLP's GP, will not result in or require the creation or
          imposition of any Lien prohibited by the Credit Documents.

     3.   The Credit Agreement and the Guaranties have been duly authorized,
          executed, and delivered to the Administrative Agent by the MLP's GP on
          behalf of the MLP.

     4.   No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or
          filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required
          for the due execution, delivery, and performance by the MLP's GP of
          the Credit Documents to which it is a party or the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, except, in the case
          of such performance, for such authorizations, approvals, actions,
          notices, and filings that have been made or obtained.

     5.   To my knowledge there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or
          proceedings against the MLP's GP before any court, governmental
          agency, or arbitrator that purport to affect the legality, validity,
          binding effect, or enforceability of the Credit Documents,

                                   Exhibit F-2
                                     Page 2
                           Form of Opinion of Counsel

<PAGE>

          or that would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse
          effect upon the financial condition or operations of the MLP's GP.

     6.   In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Credit
          Documents in any court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or in any
          Federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, assuming
          (i) proper venue, jurisdiction, and a full and proper presentation of
          the issues and the law to the court, (ii) such action or proceeding is
          not dismissed on the basis of an inconvenient forum, and (iii) that
          the court properly applies Pennsylvania law, such court should (a)
          recognize and give effect to the provisions of the Credit Documents
          that set forth the governing law, and (b) construe the Credit
          Documents in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
          York, unless application of New York law would violate the public
          policy of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Subject to the foregoing
          and without limiting the generality thereof, a court of the
          Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or a Federal court sitting in the
          Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should apply the usury law of the State
          of New York and applicable U.S. federal law and should not apply the
          usury law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the Credit Documents,
          unless application of New York law would violate the public policy of
          the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We have found no relevant statute or
          case law that has found a violation of public policy in connection
          with choice of law in a credit agreement where some of the parties
          thereto are headquartered, execute in, or fund from, another state.
          However, if a court were to hold that the Credit Documents are
          governed by or are to be construed in accordance with the laws of the
          Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Credit Agreement and the Cash
          Collateral Agreement, when executed and delivered by the parties
          thereto, would be, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
          legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable
          against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, and each Guaranty
          would be, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, legal,
          valid and binding obligations of each Guarantor party thereto,
          enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, in
          any case subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
          insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
          other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
          generally.

     The opinions expressed in this letter are subject to the following
additional qualifications and limitations:

     1.   With respect to my opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above as to the
          valid existence and good standing of the MLP's GP, I have relied
          solely on the certificate dated           , of the Commonwealth of
                                          ----------
          Pennsylvania and, with respect to the period from that date to the
          date of this opinion letter, a certificate of an officer of the MLP's
          GP.

     2.   Qualification of any statement or opinion herein by the use of the
          words "to my knowledge" means that during the course of the
          representation in connection with these transactions contemplated by
          the Credit Agreement, no information has come to my attention that
          would give me current knowledge of the existence of facts or matters
          so qualified. I have not undertaken any investigation to determine the
          existence of facts, and no inference as to my knowledge thereof shall
          be drawn from the fact of the representation by me of any party or
          otherwise.

     3.   This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no
          opinions may be implied or inferred beyond the matters expressly
          stated herein.

     4.   The opinion expressed herein is as of the date hereof, and I assume no
          obligation to update or supplement such opinion to reflect any facts
          or circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any
          changes in law that may hereafter occur.

     5.   I am admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
          and, accordingly, the opinions expressed herein are based upon and
          limited exclusively to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
          insofar as any of such laws are applicable. I render no opinion with
          respect to any other laws. Further, I express no opinion with regard
          to any: (a) Pennsylvania or federal law, rule or regulation relating
          to (i) pollution or protection of the environment, (ii) zoning, land
          use, building or construction, (iii) occupational, safety and health
          or other similar matters or (iv) labor, employee rights and benefits,
          including the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
          amended; (b) state or federal laws and regulations regarding the
          regulation of utilities; (c) antitrust and trade regulation laws; (d)
          tax laws, rules or regulations; (e) copyright, patent and trademark
          laws, rules or regulations; and (e) state or federal securities laws.

     6.   This opinion letter is solely for the benefit of the Lenders and the
          Administrative Agent, their respective successors, assigns,
          participants, and other transferees and counsel for the Persons
          referred to in this sentence, in consummating the transaction
          contemplated by the Credit Documents, and may not be used or relied
          upon by, quoted, transmitted to, or filed with any other Person or for
          any other purpose whatsoever without in each instance my prior written
          consent. This opinion speaks as of its date, and I undertake no, and
          hereby expressly disclaim any, duty to advise you as to any changes of
          fact or law coming to my attention after the date hereof.

                                                               Very truly yours,

                        CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
                        ---------------------------------

     This CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated as of

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof among
the Borrower, the MLP, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and the

(as it may be amended, modified, supplemented and restated from time to time,
the "Credit Agreement"), the Lenders have committed to make Loans and issue
Letters of Credit;

     WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent has agreed that it will issue Letters of

Agreement, making Borrowings and issuing the Letters of Credit, the Lenders have
required that Borrower grant a lien on and security interest in its rights and

of, and for the benefit of, the Lenders, to secure its L/C Obligations;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements

Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent shall have the immediate right,
without prior notice or demand, to take and apply against the L/C Obligations
any and all funds then or thereafter on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account.
The funds deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall be invested by the
Administrative Agent in demand deposits held by or certificates of deposit
issued by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to pay interest on the Cash Collateral Account. The interest, if any,
earned on the Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to and remain a part of

shall make deposits to the Cash Collateral Account at the time and in the
amounts required by the Credit Agreement. Deposits shall be made by wire
transfer to the account as designated by the Administrative Agent.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall have complete dominion and control over
the Cash Collateral Account. The Borrower shall have no right to make
withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall

     (c) The maximum amount required to be on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account at any time shall be equal to the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations.
If the amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account exceeds the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, upon request made by the Borrower, Administrative
Agent shall return such excess funds to Borrower.

     2. Pledge of Cash Collateral Account. Borrower hereby grants to the
        ---------------------------------
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a lien on and security
interest in and to the Cash Collateral Account and all monies, cash, checks,
drafts, certificates of deposit, instruments, investment property, and other
items now or hereafter received by Administrative Agent for deposit therein and
held therein, as security for the L/C Obligations. The rights granted by this

any statutory banker's Lien or the common law right of set off.

     3. Miscellaneous.
        -------------

     (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent all customary

Letters of Credit outstanding, all Commitments have been terminated or reduced
to zero, and there are no outstanding L/C Obligations. At such time, this
Agreement shall terminate and the Administrative Agent shall return any amounts
on deposit to the Borrower.
