notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to amend any covenant
in Article V to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of
such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the
Required Banks wish to amend Article V for such purpose), then the Borrower's
compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect
immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either
such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required Banks.

            SECTION 1.3. Types of Borrowings . The term "Borrowing" denotes the
aggregation of Loans of one or more Banks to be made to the Borrower pursuant to
Article 2 on the same date, all of which Loans are of the same type (subject to

                                       36
<PAGE>

Article 8) and, except in the case of Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, have
the same initial Interest Period. Borrowings are classified for purposes of this
Agreement either by reference to the pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing
(e.g., a "Fixed Rate Borrowing" is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing or a Money Market
Borrowing (excluding any such Borrowing consisting of Money Market IBOR Loans
bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Article VIII); a "Euro-Dollar
Borrowing" is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans; and an "Alternate
Currency Borrowing" is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in
an Alternate Currency) or by reference to the provisions of Article 2 under
which participation therein is determined (i.e., a "Committed Borrowing" is a
Borrowing under Section 2.1 in which all Banks participate in proportion to
their Commitments, while a "Money Market Borrowing" is a Borrowing under Section
2.4 in which a Bank's share is determined on the basis of its bid in accordance
therewith, and a "Swingline Borrowing" is a Borrowing under Section 2.3 in which
only the Swingline Lender participates (subject to the provisions of said
Section 2.3)).

                                   ARTICLE II

                                   THE CREDITS

            SECTION 2.1. Commitments to Lend . Each Bank severally agrees, on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) to make Loans to the
Borrower and to Qualified Borrowers and participate in Letters of Credit issued
by the Fronting Bank on behalf of the Borrower and Qualified Borrowers pursuant
to this Article from time to time during the term hereof in amounts such that
the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans by such Bank at any one time
outstanding plus such Bank's Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans outstanding
together with such Bank's pro rata share of the Letter of Credit Usage at such
time shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of its Commitment, and (b) in
furtherance and clarification of the foregoing, as to Banks with an Alternate
Currency Commitment only, to participate in Alternate Currency Letters of Credit
issued by the Fronting Bank on behalf of Borrower and Qualified Borrowers
pursuant to this Article and to make Euro-Dollar Loans to Borrower and Qualified
Borrowers denominated in any Alternate Currency (provided (i) such Alternate
Currency is readily available to such Banks and is freely transferable and
convertible to Dollars, (ii) the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or any
successor thereto) reports a London Interbank Offered Rate for such Alternate
Currency relating to the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) Borrower shall
then have an Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody's) at any time and
from time to time during the Term, in an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent
Amount not to exceed such Bank's Alternate Currency Commitment. Each Borrowing
outstanding under this Section 2.1 shall be in an aggregate principal Dollar
Equivalent Amount of $5,000,000 (or, with respect to an Alternate Currency
Borrowing only, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $3,000,000), or an integral
multiple of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $1,000,000

                                       37
<PAGE>

in excess thereof (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount
available in accordance with Section 3.2(b), or in any amount required to
reimburse the Fronting Bank for any drawing under any Letter of Credit or to
repay the Swingline Lender the amount of any Swingline Loan) and, other than
with respect to Money Market Loans and Swingline Loans, shall be made from the
several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Subject to
the provisions of Section 9.19 hereof, in no event shall (i) the aggregate
Dollar Equivalent Amount of Loans outstanding at any time, plus outstanding
Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Usage, exceed $500,000,000 (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 9.19, the "Facility Amount"), or (ii) the aggregate
amount of Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency plus the outstanding Letter
of Credit Usage for Alternate Currency Letters of Credit exceed the Alternate
Currency Sublimit, with, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), Loans
denominated in Alternate Currencies and Letter of Credit Usage for Alternate
Currency Letters of Credit being marked to market monthly on the last Business
Day of each month. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, each Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be deemed to use the
Dollar Commitments to the extent the Dollar Sublimit would not be exceeded
thereby, and to use the Alternate Currency Commitments if such Alternate
Currency Commitments are available in the event that the Dollar Commitments
would be so exceeded. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts
repaid may be reborrowed.

            SECTION 2.2. Notice of Borrowing. (a) With respect to any Committed
Borrowing, the Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice not later than
1:00 P.M. (New York City or London time, as applicable) (x) the Business Day
prior to each Base Rate Borrowing, or (y) the third (3rd) Euro-Dollar Business
Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated in Dollars, or (z) the fourth
(4(th)) Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated
in an Alternate Currency, specifying:

            (i)   the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day in
      the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the
      case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing,

            (ii)  the aggregate amount of such Borrowing,

            (iii) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base
      Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, and if Euro-Dollar Loans are requested
      other than in Dollars, the type and amount of the Alternate Currency being
      requested,

            (iv)  in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the
      Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the
      definition of Interest Period,

                                       38
<PAGE>

            (v)   if such Borrowing is to be made by a Qualified Borrower, the
      identity of the Qualified Borrower;

            (vi)  payment instructions for delivery of such Borrowing; and

            (vii) certify that no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is
      continuing.

            (b)   Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, and the Fronting
Bank, written notice in the event that it desires to have Letters of Credit
(each, a "Letter of Credit") issued, or to have Letters of Credit issued on
behalf of a Subsidiary, hereunder no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City or
London time, as applicable) at least four (4) Business Days (or, for Alternate
Currency Letters of Credit, four (4) Euro-Dollar Business Days) prior to, but
excluding, the date of such issuance. Each such notice shall specify (i) (a) if
Alternate Currency is requested, the type and individual amount of the Alternate
Currency being requested and (b) if Dollars are requested, the individual amount
of each requested Letter of Credit, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested
Letters of Credit, (iii) the individual amount of each requested Letter of
Credit and the number of Letters of Credit to be issued, (iv) the date of such
issuance (which shall be a Business Day (or, for Alternate Currency Letters of
Credit, a Euro-Dollar Business Day)), (v) the name and address of the
beneficiary, (vi) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit (which in no event
shall be later than the Maturity Date or twelve (12) months after the issuance
of such Letter of Credit, whichever is earlier), (vii) the purpose and
circumstances for which such Letter of Credit is being issued, (viii) the terms
upon which each such Letter of Credit may be drawn down (which terms shall not
leave any discretion to Fronting Bank) and (ix) certify that no Default or Event
of Default has occurred or is continuing. Each such notice may be revoked
telephonically by the Borrower to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent
any time prior to the issuance of the Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank,
provided such revocation is confirmed in writing by the Borrower to the Fronting
Bank and the Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day (or one (1)
Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit)
by facsimile. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Borrower shall complete and deliver to the Fronting Bank any required
documentation in connection with any requested Letter of Credit no later than
the second (2nd) Business Day (or, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of
Credit, the second (2nd) Euro-Dollar Business Day) prior to the date of issuance
thereof. No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City or London time, as applicable)
on the date that is four (4) Business Days (or, in the case of Alternate
Currency Letters of Credit, four (4) Euro-Dollar Business Days) prior to, but
excluding, the date of issuance, the Borrower shall specify a precise
description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificate to be
presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, which if presented by
such beneficiary prior to

                                       39
<PAGE>

the expiration date of the Letter of Credit would require the Fronting Bank to
make a payment under the Letter of Credit; provided, that Fronting Bank may, in
its reasonable judgment, require changes in any such documents and certificates
only in conformity with changes in customary and commercially reasonable
practice or law and, provided further, that no Letter of Credit shall require
payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the third Business
Day (or, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, the third (3rd)
Euro-Dollar Business Day) following the date that such draft is presented if
such presentation is made later than 1:00 P.M. New York City or London time, as
applicable) (except that if the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit requests at
the time of the issuance of its Letter of Credit that payment be made on the
same Business Day (or, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit,
Euro-Dollar Business Day) against a conforming draft, such beneficiary shall be
entitled to such a same day draw, provided such draft is presented to the
Fronting Bank no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City or London time, as
applicable) and provided further the Borrower shall have requested to the
Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent that such beneficiary shall be
entitled to a same day draw). In determining whether to pay on such Letter of
Credit, the Fronting Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the
documents and certificates required to be delivered under the Letter of Credit
have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of
that Letter of Credit.

            SECTION 3.3. Swingline Loan Subfacility .

            (a)   Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Section 2.3, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to
make certain revolving credit loans in Dollars to the Borrower (each a
"Swingline Loan" and, collectively, the "Swingline Loans") from time to time
during the term hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of
Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000), and (ii) the aggregate Commitments less the sum
of (A) all Loans then outstanding, and (B) the Letter of Credit Usage (the
"Swingline Commitment"). Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any
amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.

            (b)   Swingline Borrowings.

                  (i)   Notice of Borrowing. With respect to any Swingline
Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative
Agent notice in writing which is received by the Swingline Lender and
Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing (and confirmed by telephone by such
time), specifying (A) that a Swingline Borrowing is being requested, (B) the
amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (C) the proposed date of such Swingline
Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day and (D) stating that no Default or
Event of Default has

                                       40
<PAGE>

occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to such Swingline
Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable.

                  (ii)  Minimum Amounts. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in a
minimum principal amount of $3,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.

                  (iii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall
be due and payable on the earliest of (A) 4 Business Days from and including the
date of the applicable Swingline Borrowing, (B) the date of the next Committed
Borrowing or (C) the Maturity Date. If, and to the extent, any Swingline Loans
shall be outstanding on the date of any Committed Borrowing, such Swingline
Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Committed Borrowing prior
to the disbursement of the same to the Borrower. If, and to the extent, a
Committed Borrowing is not requested prior to the Maturity Date or the end of
the 4 Business Day period after a Swingline Borrowing, or unless the Borrower
shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender prior to
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the
Swingline Borrowing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Swingline Bank
for the amount of such Swingline Borrowing with funds other than proceeds of the
Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing
comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline
Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such
Swingline Loan to the Swingline Lender. In addition, if (x) the Borrower does
not repay the Swingline Loan on or prior to the end of such 4 Business Day
period, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such 4
Business Day period, the Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole
discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Committed Borrowing, in
which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing
comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then
outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans
to the Swingline Lender. Any Committed Borrowing which is deemed requested by
the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.3(b)(iii) is hereinafter referred
to as a "Mandatory Borrowing". Each Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make
Committed Loans promptly upon receipt of notice from the Swingline Lender of any
such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner
specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such notice is received by
such Bank (or the next Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 P.M.
(New York City time)) notwithstanding (I) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing
may not comply with the minimum amount of Committed Borrowings otherwise
required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.2 are
then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV)
failure of any such deemed request for a Committed Borrowing to be made by the
time otherwise required in Section 2.1, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing
(provided that such date must

                                       41
<PAGE>

be a Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Commitments immediately prior
to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith; provided, however,
that no Bank shall be obligated to make Committed Loans in respect of a
Mandatory Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the
applicable Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a
written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or
after Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default
which has not been rescinded.

                  (iv)  Purchase of Participations. In the event that any
Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required
above (including, without limitation , as a result of the commencement of a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each
Bank hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the
Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment
received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase)
from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans
as shall be necessary to cause each such Bank to share in such Swingline Loans
ratably based upon its Pro Rata Share (determined before giving effect to any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 6.2), provided that (A) all
interest payable on the Swingline Loans with respect to any participation shall
be for the account of the Swingline Lender until but excluding the day upon
which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in the
event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to
this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Bank shall be required to pay to
the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation for
each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2)
Business Days after the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have
occurred, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Bank shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any
Swingline Loan if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and such
Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written
Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after
Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default which
has not been rescinded.

            (c)   Interest Rate. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swingline
Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans for such
day.

            SECTION 2.4. Money Market Borrowings.

                                       42
<PAGE>

            (a)   The Money Market Option. From time to time during the Term,
and provided that at such time the Borrower maintains a Credit Rating of at
least BBB- or Baa3 (or their equivalent) from S&P and Moody's, the Borrower may,
as set forth in this Section 2.4, request the Banks during the Term to make
offers to make Money Market Loans in Dollars to the Borrower, not to exceed, at
such time, the lesser of (i) $200,000,000 (adjusted pro rata for changes in the
aggregate Commitments), and (ii) the aggregate Commitments less all Loans and
Letter of Credit Usage then outstanding (excluding any Loans or any portion
thereof to be repaid from the proceeds of such Money Market Loans). Subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may repay any outstanding Money
Market Loan on any day which is a Business Day (or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in
the case of Money Market IBOR Loans) and any amounts so repaid may be
reborrowed, up to the amount available under this Section 2.4 at the time of
such Borrowing, until the Euro-Dollar Business Day next preceding the Maturity
Date. The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the
Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the
manner set forth in this Section 2.4.

            (b)   Money Market Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to
request offers to make Money Market Loans under this Section, it shall transmit
to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a Money Market
Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a "Money Market
Quote Request") so as to be received not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on (x) the fifth Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but excluding, the
date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a IBOR Auction or (y) the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in
the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or
date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and
shall have notified the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote
Request for the first IBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such
change is to be effective) specifying:

            (i)   the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Euro-Dollar
      Business Day in the case of an IBOR Auction or a Business Day in the case
      of an Absolute Rate Auction,

            (ii)  the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which shall be
      $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000,

            (iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto (which
      shall not be less than 14 days or more than 180 days), subject to the
      provisions of the definition of Interest Period,

            (iv)  whether the Money Market Quotes requested are to set forth a
      Money Market Margin or a Money Market Absolute Rate,

                                       43
<PAGE>

            (v)   the aggregate amount of all Money Market Loans then
      outstanding, and

            (vi)  certify that no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is
      continuing.

The Borrower may request offers to make Money Market Loans for more than one
Interest Period in a single Money Market Quote Request. In no event may Borrower
give a Money Market Quote Request in excess of two (2) times in any one month
period or within ten (10) days of the giving of any other Money Market Quote
Request.

            (c)   Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a
Money Market Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Banks by
telex or facsimile transmission an "Invitation for Money Market Quotes"
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which shall constitute an
invitation by the Borrower to each Bank to submit Money Market Quotes offering
to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote Request relates
in accordance with this Section.

            (d)   Submission and Contents of Money Market Quotes. 1. Each Bank
may submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer or offers to make Money
Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Each Money
Market Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must
be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission at
its offices specified in or pursuant to Section 9.1 not later than (x) 2:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the fourth Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but
excluding, the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a IBOR Auction or (y)
9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of
an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have
notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request
for the first IBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to
be effective); provided that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Administrative
Agent (or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Bank
may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such
affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained
therein not later than (x) one hour prior to the deadline for the other Banks,
in the case of an IBOR Auction or (y) one hour prior to the deadline for the
other Banks, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction. Subject to Articles 3 and
6, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

                                       44
<PAGE>

            2.    Each Money Market Quote shall be in substantially the form of
Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify:

            (i)   the proposed date of Borrowing,

            (ii)  the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each
      such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than

      a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount
      of Money Market Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be

      Market Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Bank may be
      accepted,

            (iii) the Interest Period(s) with respect to which each such offer
      is being made,

            (iv)  in the case of an IBOR Auction, the margin above or below the
      applicable Interbank Offered Rate (the "Money Market Margin") offered for
      each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the
      nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base
      rate,

            (v)   in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest
      per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the "Money Market

            (vi)  the identity of the quoting Bank.

A Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting
Bank with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation
for Money Market Quotes.

            3.    Any Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it:

            (i)   is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit D hereto or
      does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(2)
      above;

            (ii)  contains qualifying, conditional or similar language (except
      for an aggregate limitation as provided in subsection (d)(2)(ii) above);

            (iii) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in
      the applicable Invitation for Money Market Quotes; or

            (e)   Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
(and in any event within one (1) Business Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day in
the case of an IBOR Auction) after receipt thereof) notify the Borrower in
writing of the terms (x) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank that is
in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Money Market Quote that amends,
modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote
submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any
such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative
Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a
manifest error in such former Money Market Quote or modifies the terms of such
previous Money Market Quote to provide terms more favorable to Borrower. The
Administrative Agent's notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate
principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for
each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (B)
the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market
Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable,
limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which
offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted.

            (f)   Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but
excluding, the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an IBOR Auction or (y)
the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in
either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later
than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first IBOR Auction or
Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the
offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance,
such notice (a "Notice of Money Market Borrowing") shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The
Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

            1.    the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing
      may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market
      Quote Request;

            2.    the principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be
      $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000;

            3.    acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of
      ascending Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case
      may be; and

                                       46
<PAGE>

            4.    the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in
      subsection (d)(3) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements
      of this Agreement.

            (g)   Allocation by Agent. If offers are made by two or more Banks
with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case
may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of
which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal
amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall
be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible
(in multiples of $100,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in
proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day (or
Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of an IBOR Auction) after such offers are
accepted) notify the Borrower and each such Bank in writing of any such
allocation of Money Market Loans. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of
the allocation of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

            (h)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
each Bank shall be required to fund its Pro Rata Share of Committed Loans in
accordance with Section 2.1 hereof despite the fact that any Bank's Commitment
may have been or may be exceeded as a result of such Bank's making of Money
Market Loans.

            SECTION 2.5. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.

            (a)   Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date
such Notice of Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify each
applicable Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's share of such
Borrowing, of the interest rate determined pursuant thereto and the Interest
Period(s) (if different from those requested by the Borrower) and such Notice of
Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, unless Borrower
shall pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.14.

            (b)   Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time or, in the case
of any Alternate Currency Borrowing, local time to the principal financial
center of the Alternate Currency in question) on the date of each Committed
Borrowing (including without limitation each Mandatory Borrowing) as indicated
in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, each Bank shall (except as provided in
subsection (d) of this Section) make available its share of such Committed
Borrowing in Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately
available in New York, New York (or, in the case of any Alternate Currency
Borrowing, the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in
question), to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to

                                       47
<PAGE>

in Section 9.1. If the Borrower has requested the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such
issuance as indicated in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the
Fronting Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit in the amount so requested and
deliver the same to the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as applicable, with a
copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Immediately upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have
sold and transferred to each other Bank, and each such other Bank shall be
deemed, and hereby agrees, to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and
received from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and a participation in such Letter of Credit, any drawing thereunder,
and its obligation to pay its Pro Rata Share with respect thereto, and any
security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, in an amount equal to such
Bank's ratable share thereof. Upon any change in any of the Commitments in
accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such
participations to reflect such changed shares. The Fronting Bank shall have the
primary obligation to fund any and all draws made with respect to such Letter of
Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating Bank to fund its ratable
share of any such draw. The Administrative Agent will instruct the Fronting Bank
to make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower and the Fronting Bank
shall make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower or the Qualified
Borrower, as the case may be, at its aforesaid address or at such address in the
United States as Borrower shall request on the date of the Borrowing or, in the
case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, at such address in Europe, the
United Kingdom, Japan or the United States as the Borrower or the Qualified
Borrower, as the case may be, shall request on the date of the Borrowing.

            (c)   Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of
each Swingline Borrowing as indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the
Swingline Lender shall make available such Swingline Borrowing in Federal funds
immediately available in New York, New York to the Administrative Agent at its
address referred to in Section 9.1.

            (d)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to
the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this
Section 2.5 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount on behalf of such Bank. If and to the extent that such Bank
shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such
Bank agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the

                                       48
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent, at the rate of interest applicable to such Borrowing
hereunder. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan
included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank shall
not pay to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable
attempts are made by Administrative Agent to collect such amounts from such
Bank, Borrower agrees to repay, or cause the applicable Qualified Borrower to
repay, to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts
together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to Borrower or such Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, until the
date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at the interest rate
applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in this
Section 2.5(d) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment of any Bank or in any
way affect the rights of Borrower with respect to any defaulting Bank or
Administrative Agent. The failure of any Bank to make available to the
Administrative Agent such Bank's share of any Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.5(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to
fund its Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

            (e)   Subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent
shall make available each Borrowing to Borrower or the applicable Qualified
Borrower in Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately
available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the applicable
Notice of Borrowing.

            SECTION 2.6. Notes.

            (a)   The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note
made by each Borrower (including any Qualified Borrower) payable to the order of
such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office.

            (b)   Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, request that its Loans of a particular type (including,
without limitation, Swingline Loans and Money Market Loans) be evidenced by a
separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
such Loans. Any additional costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower or the Banks in connection with preparing such a Note shall be at the
sole cost and expense of the Bank requesting such Note. In the event any Loans
evidenced by such a Note are paid in full prior to the Maturity Date, any such
Bank shall return such Note to Borrower. Each such Note shall be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to
reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant type. Upon the
execution and delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank
shall be replaced or modified accordingly. Each reference in this Agreement to
the "Note" of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of
such Notes, as the context may require.

                                       49
<PAGE>

            (c)   Upon receipt of each Bank's Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a),
the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall
record the date, amount, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date
and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower or Qualified
Borrower, as the case may be, with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so
elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on
the appropriate schedule appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing
information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the
failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect
the obligations of the Borrower or applicable Qualified Borrower hereunder or
under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower and
each Qualified Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part
of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

            (d)   The Committed Loans shall mature, and the principal amount
thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date. The Swingline Loans
shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, in
accordance with Section 2.3(b)(iii).

            (e)   Each Money Market Loan included in any Money Market Borrowing
shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon, on the earlier to occur of (i) last day
of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing or (ii) the Maturity Date.

            (f)   There shall be no more than fifteen (15) Euro-Dollar Groups of
Loans and no more than ten (10) Money Market Loans outstanding at any one time.

            SECTION 2.7. Method of Electing Interest Rates. (g) The Loans
included in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type
of rate specified by the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, in
the applicable Notice of Borrowing or as otherwise provided in Section 2.3 with
respect to Mandatory Borrowings. Thereafter, the Borrower or the applicable
Qualified Borrower (or the Borrower on behalf of the applicable Qualified
Borrower) may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest
rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of
Article VIII), as follows:

                  (i)   if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may
elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any
Euro-Dollar Business Day;

                  (ii)  if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower or the
applicable Qualified Borrower (or the Borrower on behalf of the applicable

                                       50
<PAGE>

Qualified Borrower) may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to
Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans as
Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest
Periods, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Loans, or on such other date designated by Borrower or
the applicable Qualified Borrower (or the Borrower on behalf of the applicable
Qualified Borrower) in the Notice of Interest Rate Election provided Borrower or
the applicable Qualified Borrower (or the Borrower on behalf of the applicable
Qualified Borrower) shall pay any losses pursuant to Section 2.14.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest
Rate Election") to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Euro-Dollar
Business Days prior to, but excluding, the effective date of the conversion or
continuation selected in such notice. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if
it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of
the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably
among the Loans comprising such Group, (ii) the portion to which such Notice
applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of $5,000,000 (or, with respect to Loans denominated in
an Alternate Currency only, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $3,000,000) or any
larger multiple of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $1,000,000, (iii) there shall
be no more than fifteen (15) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding at any
time, (iv) no Committed Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a
Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and
(v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.

            (b)   Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

            (i)   the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice
applies;

            (ii)  the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in
such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of
subsection (a) above;

            (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the
new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of
the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and

            (iv)  if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an
additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

                                       51
<PAGE>

            (c)   Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Borrower or Qualified Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank the same day as it receives such
Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof, the interest rates
determined pursuant thereto and the Interest Periods (if different from those
requested by the Borrower or Qualified Borrower) and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Borrower or Qualified Borrower. If the Borrower
or Qualified Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election
to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans in
Dollars shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, and Borrower or the applicable
Qualified Borrower shall repay such Loans in Alternate Currencies, on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

            SECTION 2.8. Interest Rates.

            (a)   Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the
date it is repaid or converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.7,
at a rate per annum equal to sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for
Base Rate Loans for such day.

            (b)   Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable
thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for
Euro-Dollar Loans for such day plus the Adjusted Interbank Offered Rate
applicable to such Interest Period.

            (c)   Subject to Section 8.1, each Money Market IBOR Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period
applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Interbank
Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with Section
2.8(b) as if the related Money Market IBOR Borrowing were a Euro-Dollar
Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Bank making
such Loan in accordance with Section 2.4. Each Money Market Absolute Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the
Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money
Market Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with
Section 2.4. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Money Market Loan shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate until such failure shall become an Event of Default and
thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 4% plus the Base Rate for
such day.

            (d)   In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the
Loans, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in
respect of all Loans,

                                       52
<PAGE>

shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate and
four percent (4%) (the "Default Rate").

            (e)   The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate
applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Borrower and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and
its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable
error.

            (f)   Intentionally Omitted.

            (g)   Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate shall
be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month. Interest on all
Loans bearing interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate shall be
payable on the last Euro-Dollar Business Day of the applicable Interest Period,
but no less frequently than every three months determined on the basis of the
first (1st) day of the Interest Period applicable to the Loan in question.

            SECTION 2.9. Fees.

            (a)   Facility Fee. For the period beginning on the date hereof and
ending on the date the Obligations are paid in full and this Agreement is
terminated (the "Facility Fee Period"), the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their
respective Commitments a facility fee on the aggregate Commitments at the
Applicable Fee Percentage. The facility fee shall be payable in arrears on each
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the Facility Fee Period.

            (b)   Letter of Credit Fee. During the Term, the Borrower shall pay,
or shall cause the applicable Qualified Borrowers to pay, to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Banks in proportion to their interests in respect
of issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, a fee (a "Letter of Credit Fee") in an
amount, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
equal to a rate per annum equal to the then percentage per annum of the
Applicable Margin with respect to Euro-Dollar Loans, on the daily average of
such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable, in
arrears, on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the Term. From
the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, such fee
shall be increased to be equal to four percent (4%) per annum on the daily
average of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit.

            (c)   Fronting Bank Fee. The Borrower or the applicable Qualified
Borrower shall pay any Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fee (a "Fronting
Bank Fee") at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) .125% of the issued
and undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit and (ii) $250, which fee shall be in
addition to and

                                       53
<PAGE>

not in lieu of, the Letter of Credit Fee. The Fronting Bank Fee shall be payable
in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the Term.

            (d)   Extension Fee. If Borrower elects to extend the term of the
Loan in accordance with Section 2.10(b), the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks in proportion to their
interests, a fee (a "Extension Fee") in an amount equal to 0.25% of the
aggregate Commitments. The Extension Fee shall be paid by Borrower on or before
the Extension Date.

            (e)   Fees Non-Refundable. All fees set forth in this Section 2.9
shall be deemed to have been earned on the date payment is due in accordance
with the provisions hereof and shall be non-refundable. The obligation of the
Borrower to pay such fees in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be
binding upon the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Banks regardless of whether any Loans are actually made.

            SECTION 2.10. Maturity Date.

            (a)   The term (the "Term") of the Commitments (and each Bank's
obligations to make Loans and to participate in Letters of Credit hereunder)
shall terminate and expire, and the Borrower shall return or cause to be
returned all Letters of Credit to the Fronting Bank on the Maturity Date. Upon
the date of the termination of the Term, any Loans then outstanding (together
with accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations) shall be due and
payable on such date.

            (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may extend the
Maturity Date for a period of one (1) year upon the following terms and
conditions: (i) delivery by Borrower of a written notice to the Administrative
Agent (the "Extension Notice") on or before a date that is not more than twelve
and one half (12 -1/2) months nor less than one (1) month prior to the Maturity
Date, which Extension Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to
the Banks; (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing both
on the date the Borrower delivers the Extension Notice and on the original
Maturity Date (the "Extension Date"), (iii) Borrower shall maintain an
Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody's, and (iv) Borrower shall pay
the Extension Fee to Administrative Agent on or before the Extension Date.
Borrower's delivery of the Extension Notice shall be irrevocable.

            SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayments .

            (a)   The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day's notice
to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans or any Money
Market Borrowing bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.1, in
whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating One
Million Dollars

                                       54
<PAGE>

($1,000,000) or more, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with
accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. The Borrower may, from time
to time on any Business Day so long as prior notice is given to the
Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the day on which Borrower intends to make such prepayment, prepay any
Swingline Loans in whole or in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or a higher
integral multiple of $100,000 (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding) by paying the principal amount
to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment
by initiating a wire transfer of the principal and interest on the Loans no
later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such day and the Borrower shall
deliver a federal reference number evidencing such wire to Administrative Agent
as soon as available thereafter on such day. Each such optional prepayment shall
be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks (or the Swingline
Lender in the case of Swingline Loans) included in such Group or Borrowing.

            (b)   The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Euro-Dollar Business
Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, pay all or any portion of any
Euro-Dollar Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Except as provided in Article 8 and except with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan
which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.19, 8.2, 8.3
or 8.4 hereof, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal
amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses
pursuant to Section 2.14. Subject to the provisions of clause (a) hereof, the
Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Money
Market Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto without
the consent of all applicable Designated Lenders and Banks. Any such prepayment
shall be given on or prior to the third (3rd) Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to,
but excluding, the date of prepayment to the Administrative Agent. Each such
optional prepayment shall be in the amounts set forth in Section 2.11(a) above
and shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Banks included in any
Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, except that any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been
converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.19, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 hereof
may be prepaid without ratable payment of the other Loans in such Group of Loans
which have not been so converted.

            (c)   The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day's (or, in
the case of any Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, one (1) Euro-Dollar
Business Day's) notice to the Administrative Agent (by 1:00 P.M. New York City
or local time to the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in
question, as applicable on such Business Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day)),
reimburse the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Bank for the
amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit in whole or in part in any
amount.

                                       55
<PAGE>

            (d)   The Borrower may at any time return any undrawn Letter of
Credit to the Fronting Bank in whole, but not in part, and the Fronting Bank
within a reasonable period of time shall give the Administrative Agent and each
of the Banks notice of such return.

            (e)   The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all
or any part of the Dollar Commitments or the Alternate Currency Commitments by
the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of cancellation within the
applicable time periods set forth in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) if there are Loans
then outstanding or, if there are no Loans outstanding at such time as to which
the Commitments with respect thereto are being canceled, upon at least three (3)
Business Day's (or, with respect to the Alternate Currency Commitments, three
(3) Euro-Dollar Business Day's) notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon,
in either event, all or such portion of the Commitments, as applicable, shall
terminate as to the applicable Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such
notice of cancellation, and, if there are any Loans then outstanding, Borrower
shall prepay, as applicable, all or such portion of Loans outstanding on such
date in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.11(a) and (b). In no event
shall the Borrower be permitted to cancel Commitments for which a Letter of
Credit has been issued and is outstanding unless the Borrower returns (or causes
to be returned) such Letter of Credit to the Fronting Bank. Borrower shall be
permitted to designate in its notice of cancellation which Loans, if any, are to
be prepaid. A reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(e)
shall not effect a reduction in the Swingline Commitment (unless so elected by
the Borrower) until the aggregate Commitments have been reduced to an amount
equal to the Swingline Commitment.

            (f)   Any amounts so prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 (a) or (b) may
be reborrowed. In the event Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the
Commitments and the Swingline Commitment pursuant to Section 2.11(e) hereof,
such amounts may not be reborrowed.

            SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments. The Administrative Agent shall
calculate the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Loans denominated in an Alternate
Currency at the time of each Borrowing thereof and on the last Business Day of
each month during each Interest Period longer than one month in duration. If at
any such time (y) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the sum of (i) all outstanding
Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, (ii) all outstanding Loans
denominated in Dollars made against the Alternate Currency Commitment, (iii) the
outstanding Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Usage for Alternate
Currency Letters of Credit, and (iv) the Letter of Credit Usage for Letters of
Credit denominated in Dollar issued against the Alternate Currency Commitment,
so determined by the Administrative Agent, in the aggregate, exceeds the
Alternate Currency Sublimit, Borrower shall repay (and cause the applicable
Qualified Borrowers to repay) all or a portion of such Loans, otherwise in
accordance with the

                                       56
<PAGE>

applicable terms of this Agreement, in such amount so that, following the making
of such payment, the Dollar Equivalent Amount outstanding of such Loans and
Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit, or (z)
the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the sum of (i) all outstanding Loans and (ii)
the outstanding Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Usage so
determined by the Administrative Agent, in the aggregate, exceeds the
Commitments, Borrower shall, in each case, repay (and cause the applicable
Qualified Borrowers to repay) all or a portion of the Loans, otherwise in
accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, in such amount so that,
following the making of such payment, the Dollar Equivalent Amount outstanding
of Loans and Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the Commitments.

            SECTION 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments.

            (a)   The Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, shall
make each payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees
hereunder, by initiating a wire transfer not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City
or local time to the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in
question, as applicable) on the date when due, or, with respect to Money Market
Loans, fund such payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees
hereunder such that the Designating Lender shall receive payment from
Administrative Agent by 12:00 P.M. (New York City time or local time to the
principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question), of Federal or
other funds immediately available in New York, New York or, in the case of any
Alternate Currency, the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in
question, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1,
and the Borrower shall deliver a federal reference number evidencing such wire
to Administrative Agent as soon as possible thereafter on the date when due. The
Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day
(or, with respect to Alternate Currencies, one (1) Euro-Dollar Business Day)
after receipt thereof) distribute to each Bank its ratable share (or applicable
share with respect to Money Market Loans) of each such payment received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. If and to the extent that the
Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Banks
on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City or local time to the principal financial
center of the Alternate Currency in question, as applicable) on any Business Day
(or Euro-Dollar Business Day, as applicable), and Administrative Agent shall not
have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day,
Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been
distributed to such Bank until the date Administrative Agent distributes such
amount to such Bank, at the Federal Funds Rate. Whenever any payment of
principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans or of fees
shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the

                                       57
<PAGE>

Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day,
the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another
calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next
preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Money Market Absolute Rate Loans shall be due on a day which is
not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on,
the Money Market IBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar
Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is
extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for
such extended time.

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

            SECTION 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Borrower or Qualified Borrower,
as the case may be, makes any payment of principal with respect to any
Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market IBOR Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII
or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, or if the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may
be, fails to borrow any Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market IBOR Loans after
notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.5(a) or 2.4(f),
as applicable, or if Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, shall
deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Dollar Loan
shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank
within 15 days after certification of such Bank of such loss or expense (which
shall be delivered by each such Bank to Administrative Agent for delivery to
Borrower) for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing
Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss
incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but
excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to
borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to Administrative Agent and

                                       58
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a certification as to
the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and
shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

            SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on
the Prime Rate or for Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case
of interest based on the Prime Rate only, 366 days in a leap year) and paid for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day).

            SECTION 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use, or shall
cause any Qualified Borrower to use, the proceeds of the Loans for general
corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the acquisition of real
property to be used in the Borrower's existing business and for general working
capital needs of the Borrower; provided, however, that no Swingline Loan shall
be used more than once for the purpose of refinancing another Swingline Loan, in
whole or part.

            SECTION 2.17. Letters of Credit.

            (a)   Subject to the terms contained in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.2(b)
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall issue a
Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(b)) in an amount or
amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by the Borrower; provided that,
in the case of (i) Alternate Currency Letter(s) of Credit, the Fronting Bank
shall issue the same in the Alternate Currency requested and (ii) Dollar
Letter(s) of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall issue the same in Dollars.

            (b)   Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in the minimum amount of
the Dollar Equivalent Amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or such
lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fronting Bank.

            (c)   The Letter of Credit Usage shall be no more than the lesser of
(i) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) and (ii) twenty percent (20%) of
the Facility Amount at any one time.

            (d)   There shall be no more than twenty-five (25) Letters of Credit
outstanding at any one time.

                                       59
<PAGE>

            (e)   In the event of any request for a drawing under any Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary thereunder, the Fronting Bank shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Bank thereof) on or before the date on which the Fronting Bank intends to
honor such drawing, and, except as provided in this subsection (e), the Borrower
shall reimburse the Fronting Bank, in immediately available funds, on the same
day on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent
Amount of such drawing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative
Agent and the Fronting Bank prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
Business Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of Alternate Currency
Letters of Credit) immediately preceding the date of such drawing that the
Borrower intends to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the Dollar Equivalent Amount
of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section
2.2 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on
the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of such drawing. Each Bank (other than the Fronting Bank)
shall, in accordance with Section 2.3(b), make available its pro rata share of
such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be
applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Fronting Bank for
the amount of such draw. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, however, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, Borrower
or, if such Letter of Credit was issued on behalf of a Qualified Borrower, such
Qualified Borrower (which obligations of such Qualified Borrower are guaranteed
by Borrower pursuant to the Qualified Borrower Guaranty) shall reimburse any
drawing thereunder in the Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency
Letter(s) of Credit are denominated; provided, however, that if (x) any such
drawing is made at a time when there exists an Event of Default or (y) Borrower
shall not have notified the Administrative Agent and Fronting Bank prior to 11
a.m. (New York time) at least two (2) Euro-Dollar Business Days immediately
prior to such drawing that Borrower intends to reimburse Fronting Bank in the
applicable Alternate Currency, then, in either such case, such reimbursement
shall instead be made by payment in Dollars of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of
such drawing and in immediately available funds. In the event that any Bank
fails to make available to the Fronting Bank the amount of such Bank's
participation on the date of a drawing, the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest at the
Federal Funds Rate commencing on the date such drawing is honored, and the
provisions of Section 9.16 shall otherwise apply to such failure.

            (f)   If, at the time a beneficiary under any Letter of Credit
requests a drawing thereunder, an Event of Default as described in Section
6.1(f) or Section 6.1(g) shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date
on which the Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the Borrower shall
have an unreimbursed

                                       60
<PAGE>

obligation (the "Unreimbursed Obligation") to the Fronting Bank in an amount
equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest at the
annual rate of the sum of the Base Rate plus four percent (4%). Each Bank shall
purchase an undivided participating interest in such drawing in an amount equal
to its pro rata share of the Commitments, and upon receipt thereof the Fronting
Bank shall deliver to such Bank an Unreimbursed Obligation participation
certificate dated the date of the Fronting Bank's receipt of such funds and in
the amount of such Bank's pro rata share.

            (g)   If, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation
or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental
authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for
the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any Bank
(including the Fronting Bank) or (ii) impose on any Bank any other condition
regarding this Agreement or such Bank (including the Fronting Bank) as it
pertains to the Letters of Credit or any participation therein and the result of
any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase,
by an amount deemed by the Fronting Bank or such Bank to be material, the cost
to the Fronting Bank or any Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or participating therein, then the Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Bank or
such Bank, within 15 days after written demand by such Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate
showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such
additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the Fronting Bank or such
Bank for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable
hereunder. Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof,
which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 and
will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in
the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.
If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days
following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower's
liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a
result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period
occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the
date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such
event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 2.17
and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

                                       61

            (h)   The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save
the Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) which the Fronting Bank may incur or be
subject to as a result of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than
to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the
Fronting Bank or (ii) the failure of the Fronting Bank to honor a drawing under
any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or
wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
governmental authority (collectively, "Governmental Acts"), other than to the
extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting
Bank. As between the Borrower and the Fronting Bank, the Borrower assumes all
risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary with respect to its use, or
misuses of, the Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Fronting Bank shall not be
responsible (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in
fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) for
failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, other than as a
result of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting
Bank; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission, or
otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in
order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds
thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of
Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the Fronting Bank, including any
Government Acts, in each case other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank. None of the above shall
affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the Fronting Bank's rights and powers
hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Fronting
Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the
related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the
Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided that,
notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Fronting Bank
will be liable to the Borrower for any damages suffered by the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries as a result of the Fronting Bank's grossly negligent or wilful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a
sight draft and certificates strictly in compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Letter of Credit.

                                       62
<PAGE>

            (i)   If the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required
at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or
reorganization law or otherwise, to return to the Borrower any reimbursement by
the Borrower of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Bank shall pay to
the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, its pro rata
share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless the Fronting Bank or
the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the
person recovering such payment, in which case with interest thereon, computed at
the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that the Fronting Bank or
the Administrative Agent is required to pay.

            SECTION 2.18. Letter of Credit Usage Absolute. The obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any
Letter of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances,
including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following
circumstances:

            (a)   any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the "Letter
of Credit Documents") or any Loan Document;

            (b)   any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of
the Letters of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent by the
Borrower to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any
Loan Document; provided, that the Fronting Bank shall not consent to any such
change or amendment unless previously consented to in writing by the Borrower;

            (c)   any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty,
for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of
Credit;

            (d)   the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such
transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or any
Bank (other than a defense based on the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or such Bank) or any
other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the Letters of Credit Documents or any unrelated
transaction;

            (e)   any draft or any other document presented under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit or other Loan Document proving to be
forged,

                                       63
<PAGE>

fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; provided, that payment by the
Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or
document shall not have been the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of the Fronting Bank;

            (f)   payment by the Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft
or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of
Credit; provided, that such payment shall not have been the result of the bad
faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; and

            (g)   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever other than the
payment in full of all obligations hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit
or any agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower; provided, that such other
circumstance or happening shall not have been the result of bad faith, gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting Bank.

            SECTION 2.19. Special Provisions Regarding Alternate Currency Loans.

            (a)   Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and
without the taking of any action) (x) all then outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans
denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be automatically converted into Base
Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent
Amount of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Euro-Dollar Loans on
the date such Sharing Event first occurred, which Loans denominated in Dollars
(i) shall thereafter continue to be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (ii) unless
the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, shall
be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred) and
(y) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the
Commitments, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with
respect to such Loans shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, taking
the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and other
amounts.

            (b)   Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, and after giving
effect to any automatic conversion pursuant to Section 2.19(a), each Bank shall
(and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell (in
each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in all such Loans
outstanding to, and any unpaid Letter of Credit Usage owing by, the Borrower in
such amounts so that each Bank shall have a share of such outstanding Loans and
unpaid Letter of Credit Usage then owing by the Borrower equal to its Pro Rata
Share of the Commitments (although if because of fluctuations in currency
exchange rates any Bank would be required to purchase such participations after
giving effect to which such Bank's

                                       64
<PAGE>

allocated share of all Loans and Letter of Credit Usage (including
participations therein purchased pursuant to this Section 2.19) would exceed the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Bank's Dollar Commitment and Alternate Currency
Commitment, then such participations shall be in an amount after giving effect
to which such Bank's allocated share of all Loans and Letter of Credit Usage
(including participations therein purchased pursuant to this Section 2.19) would
equal the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Banks Dollar Commitment and Alternate
Currency Commitment. Upon any such occurrence, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Bank and shall specify the amount of dollars required from such Bank
in order to effect the purchases and sales by the various Banks of participating
interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued interest with
respect to the period for the last interest payment date through the date of the
Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.19 in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); provided, in
the event that a Sharing Event shall have occurred, each Bank shall be deemed to
have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests.
Promptly upon receipt of such request, each Bank shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds in Dollars) the net amounts
as specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly deliver the amounts so received to the various Banks in such amounts as
are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided
above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each Bank which has sold
participations in any of its Loans (through the Administrative Agent) will
deliver to each Bank (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a
participating interest a participation certificate dated the date of receipt of
such funds and in such amount. It is understood that the amount of funds
delivered by each Bank shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both
the sales and purchases of participations by the various Banks as required
above.

            (c)   Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Loans
shall be made, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and
all amounts from time to time payable on account of, any outstanding Euro-Dollar
Loans initially denominated in an Alternate Currency (including, without
limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the
date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Euro-Dollar Loans
had originally been made in Dollars and shall be distributed by the relevant
Banks (or their Affiliates) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Banks which made such Loans or are participating therein and (iii) the
Commitments of the Banks shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any Bank to purchase
its participating interest in any Loans upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event
shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to purchase its
participating interests in a timely manner, but no Bank shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Bank to purchase the participating interest to be
purchased by such other Bank on any date.

                                       65
<PAGE>

            (d)   If any amount required to be paid by any Bank pursuant to
Section 2.19(b) is not paid to the Administrative Agent within one (1) Business
Day following the date upon which such Bank receives notice from the
Administrative Agent of the amount of its participations required to be
purchased pursuant to said Section 2.19(b), such Bank shall also pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount
so required to be paid by such Bank for the purchase of its participations times
(ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including
the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the Administrative Agent times (iii) a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator
of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Bank pursuant to
Section 2.19(b) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent within
three (3) Business Days following the date upon which such Bank receives notice
from the Administrative Agent as to the amount of participations required to be
purchased by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such
Bank on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request
date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to
any amounts payable by any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be paid to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Banks; provided that,
if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on
behalf of such Bank the amounts owing to such Banks, then the amounts shall be
paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

            (e)   Whenever, at any time after the relevant Banks have received
from any Banks purchases of participations in any Loans pursuant to this Section
2.19, the Banks receive any payment on account thereof, such Banks will
distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the various Banks
participating therein, such Banks' participating interests in such amounts
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period
of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as
received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by any
Banks are required to be returned, the Banks who received previous distributions
in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the
respective Banks any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like
funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective Banks.

            (f)   Each Bank's obligation to purchase participating interests
pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (a) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have
against any other Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (c) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any
other Person, (d) any

                                       66
<PAGE>

breach of this Agreement by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Bank or
any other Person, or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

            (g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere
in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, each
Bank which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from
the Borrower any increased costs and indemnities directly from the Borrower to
the same extent as if it were the direct Bank as opposed to a participant
therein. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a
Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 2.19,
increased Taxes may be owing by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.4, which
Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 8.4) by the Borrower,
without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted
from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 2.19.

the extent that Borrower is or should have been aware of any Material Adverse
Effect) of this Section, except as otherwise disclosed in writing by Borrower to

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each of the other
Banks which is or may become a party to this Agreement to make the Loans, the
Borrower makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing
Date. Such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of
this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents and the
making of the Loans.

            SECTION 4.1. Existence and Power. The Borrower is a limited
partnership, duly formed and validly existing as a limited partnership under the
laws of the State of Delaware and has all powers and all material governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property
and assets and

                                       70
<PAGE>

carry on its business as now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct
and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in
which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. General Partner is a corporation, duly formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has
all powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as
now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified
and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so
qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Each Qualified Borrower is a duly formed and validly existing juridical entity
under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has all powers and all
material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required
to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as
it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good
standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in
good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 4.2. Power and Authority. The Borrower and each Qualified
Borrower has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out
the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party
and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize the execution and
delivery on behalf of the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower and the
performance by the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party. The Borrower, each Qualified Borrower and General Partner
each have duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such Loan Document
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, such
Qualified Borrower and General Partner, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency,
bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors rights generally, or general
principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law. General Partner has the power and authority to execute,
deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of such Loan Documents. General Partner has
the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and
provisions of each of the Loan Documents on behalf of the Borrower to which the
Borrower is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution and delivery on behalf of the Borrower and the performance by the
Borrower of such Loan Documents.

            SECTION 4.3. No Violation. (a) Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by or on behalf of the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is
a party, nor compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof
nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents,
(i) will

                                       71
<PAGE>

materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule,
regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict with or result in any breach of,
any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to
create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or
any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which the
Borrower (or of any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner) or any of
its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property
or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and
defaults under loan agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to
forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a
material default by the Borrower under any organizational document of any Person
in which the Borrower has an interest, or cause a material default under the
Borrower's agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of
which conflict, breach or default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or
result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any
Property (except as contemplated herein).

            (b)   Neither the execution, delivery or performance by General
Partner of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by General
Partner with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, (i) will materially contravene
any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will
materially conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result
in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any
Lien upon any of the property or assets of General Partner or any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which General Partner (or of
any partnership of which General Partner is a partner) or any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or
assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults
under loan agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear
pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a material
default by General Partner under any organizational document of any Person in
which General Partner has an interest, the consequences of which conflict,
breach or default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in or require
the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as
contemplated herein).

            (c)   Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any
Qualified Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance
by such Qualified Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, (i) will

                                       72
<PAGE>

materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule,
regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict with or result in any breach of,
any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to
create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Qualified
Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or
other agreement or other instrument to which such Qualified Borrower (or of any
partnership of which such Qualified Borrower is a partner) is a party or by
which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject
(except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the lenders
thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or
(iii) will cause a material default by such Qualified Borrower under any
organizational document of any Person in which such Qualified Borrower has an
interest, the consequences of which conflict, breach or default would have a
Material Adverse Effect, or result in or require the creation or imposition of
any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

            SECTION 4.4. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated balance
sheet of Borrower and their Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of General
Partner for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by PriceWaterhouseCoopers
fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of
Borrower, General Partner and their Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date
and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal
quarter.

            (b)   Since March 31, 2004, (i) except as may have been disclosed in
writing to the Banks, nothing has occurred having a Material Adverse Effect, and
(ii) except as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b), neither the Borrower nor General
Partner has incurred any material indebtedness or guaranty on or before the
Closing Date.

            SECTION 4.5. Litigation. Except as previously disclosed by the
Borrower in writing to the Banks, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending
against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting,
(i) the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, General Partner or any of their
Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents or (iii) any of their assets, before any
court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there
is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could, individually, or
in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws
into question the validity of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. As of
the Closing Date, no such action, suit or proceeding exists.

            SECTION 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, neither Borrower, any Qualified Borrower nor
General

                                       73
<PAGE>

Partner is a member of or has entered into, maintained, contributed to, or been
required to contribute to, or may incur any liability with respect to any Plan
or Multiemployer Plan or any other Benefit Arrangement. In the event that at any
time after the Closing Date, either the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower or
General Partner shall become a member of any other material Plan or
Multiemployer Plan, Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent
thereof and from and after such notice, Schedule 4.6 shall be deemed modified
thereby.

            (b)   Except for a "prohibited transaction" arising solely because
of a Bank's breach of the covenant set forth in Section 9.17 hereof, the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not constitute a nonexempt
prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Administrative Agent or any of the
Banks to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under Section
4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA and such transactions will not
otherwise result in the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks being deemed in
violation of Sections 404 or 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or in the
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks being a fiduciary or party in interest
under ERISA or a "disqualified person" as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the
Code with respect to an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section
3(3) of ERISA or a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code.
No assets of Borrower or any Qualified Borrower constitute "assets" (within the
meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29
C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an "employee
benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a "plan" within the
meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. In addition to the prohibitions set
forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation
thereof, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit any Qualified Borrower to, use any "assets" (within the meaning of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. ss.
2510.3-101) of an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of
ERISA or a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay
or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

            SECTION 4.7. Environmental. The Borrower conducts reviews of the
effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which
it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without
limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or
closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating expenditures
required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection
standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract,
any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential
liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any
related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has
reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and

                                       74
<PAGE>

costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental
Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower, each Qualified Borrower, General
Partner and their Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal
income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be
filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant
to any assessment received by the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, General
Partner or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are
reserved against in accordance with GAAP, such taxes as are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings or such taxes, the failure to make payment
of which when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower,
General Partner and their Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

            SECTION 4.9. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in
connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby
is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such
information is stated or certified. The Borrower has disclosed to the
Administrative Agent, in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to
the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 4.10. Solvency. On the Closing Date and after giving effect
to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents occurring on the Closing
Date, the Borrower, each Qualified Borrower and General Partner will be Solvent.

            SECTION 4.11. Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans will be
used by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower only in accordance
with the provisions hereof. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the
proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of
regulations T, U, or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

            SECTION 4.12. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval,
license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration
with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any
subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with
the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have
already been duly made or obtained and remain in full force and effect or those
which, if not made or obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

                                       75
<PAGE>

            SECTION 4.13. Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company
Act. Neither the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, General Partner nor any
Consolidated Subsidiary (other than AMB Capital Partners, LLC) is (x) an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (y) a
"holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the
meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or (z)
subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to
restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

            SECTION 4.14. Principal Offices. As of the Closing Date, the
principal office, chief executive office and principal place of business of the
Borrower and Guarantor is Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111.

            SECTION 4.15. REIT Status. General Partner is qualified and General
Partner intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under
the Code.

            SECTION 4.16. Patents, Trademarks, etc. The Borrower and each
Qualified Borrower has obtained and holds in full force and effect all patents,
trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, copyrights and other such rights, free
from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the operation of its
business as presently conducted, the impairment of which is likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 4.17. Judgments. As of the Closing Date, there are no
final, non-appealable judgments or decrees in an aggregate amount of Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000) or more entered by a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction against General Partner or the Borrower or, to the extent such
judgment would be recourse to General Partner or Borrower, any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than judgments as to which, and only to the
extent, a reputable insurance company has acknowledged coverage of such claim in
writing or which have been paid or stayed).

            SECTION 4.18. No Default. No Event of Default or, to the best of the
Borrower's knowledge, Default exists under or with respect to any Loan Document
and neither the Borrower, Guarantor nor any Qualified Borrower is in default in
any material respect beyond any applicable grace period under or with respect to
any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party
or by which it or any of its property is bound in any respect, the existence of

            (b)   The Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be maintained,
insurance described in Section 4.24 hereof with insurers meeting the
qualifications described therein, which insurance shall in any event not provide

the Administrative Agent from time to time (i) full information as to the
insurance carried, (ii) within five (5) days of receipt of notice from any

Borrower and General Partner will, and will cause their Subsidiaries to, comply
in all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules,

Administrative Agent or Banks to any material liability therefor.

            SECTION 5.6. Inspection of Property, Books and Records. The Borrower
will keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and

existence and its patents, trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames, copyrights,
franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications,
accreditation, easements, rights of way and other rights, consents and approvals
the nonexistence of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 5.8. Financial Covenants.

            (a)   Total Liabilities to Total Asset Value. Borrower shall not
permit the ratio of Total Liabilities to Total Asset Value of Borrower to exceed
0.55:1 at any time; provided, however, such ratio may exceed 0.55:1 for any
single quarter within any twelve (12) month period but in no event shall
Borrower permit the ratio of Total Liabilities to Total Asset Value to exceed
0.60:1 at any time.

Worth of the Borrower determined in conformity with GAAP will at no time be less
than the sum of One Billion Eight Hundred Million Dollars ($1,800,000,000.00)

received within ninety (90) days after the redemption, retirement or repurchase
of ownership or equity interests in Borrower or Guarantor, up to the amount paid
by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with such redemption, retirement or
repurchase, where, for the avoidance of doubt, the net effect is that neither
Borrower nor Guarantor shall have increased its Net Worth as a result of any
such proceeds) received by the Borrower or General Partner subsequent to the
Closing Date.

            (g)   Dividends. The Borrower will not, as determined on an
aggregate annual basis, pay any partnership distributions in excess of 95% of

enable General Partner to make those dividends necessary to maintain General
Partner's status as a real estate investment trust.

            (h)   Permitted Holdings. Borrower's primary business will not be
substantially different from that conducted by Borrower on the Closing Date and
shall include the ownership, operation and development of Real Property Assets
and any other business activities of Borrower and its Subsidiaries will remain
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and its Subsidiaries
may acquire or maintain Permitted Holdings if and so long as the aggregate value
of Permitted Holdings (excluding Foreign Property Interests that are not
Development Activity), whether held directly or indirectly by Borrower does not
exceed, at any time, twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Asset Value of Borrower
unless a greater percentage is approved by the Majority Banks (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided, however,
Borrower and its Subsidiaries may not acquire or maintain Unimproved Assets
(excluding Foreign Property Interests) if and to the extent that the aggregate
value of Unimproved Assets, whether held directly or indirectly by Borrower
exceeds, at any time, seven and one-half percent (7.50%) of Total Asset Value of
Borrower unless a greater percentage is approved by the Required Banks (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For
purposes of calculating the foregoing percentage, the value of Unimproved Assets
shall be calculated based upon the book value thereof, determined in accordance
with GAAP.

            (i)   Foreign Property Limit. Borrower and General Partner shall
not, and shall not allow any of their Subsidiaries to, acquire or maintain
Properties

                                       84
<PAGE>

located outside the United States if and to the extent that the aggregate value
of Borrower's and General Partner's interest, without duplication, in such
Properties located outside the United States ("Foreign Property Interests"),
whether held directly or indirectly exceeds, at any time, twenty percent (20%)
of Total Asset Value.

            (j)   No Liens. Borrower and General Partner shall not, and shall
not allow any of their Subsidiaries, Financing Partnerships or Joint Venture
Subsidiaries to, allow any Qualifying Unencumbered Property (or any equity
interests in such Property that are owned directly or indirectly by Borrower,
General Partner or any Joint Venture Parent), that is necessary to comply with
the provisions of Sections 5.8(d) and (e) hereof, to become subject to a Lien
that secures the Indebtedness of any Person, other than Permitted Liens.

            (k)   Development Activities. Construction Asset Cost (including,
without limitation, Construction Asset Cost attributable to Foreign Property
Interests) of the Borrower, the General Partner and the Consolidated
Subsidiaries, without duplication, shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
Total Asset Value. For the purposes of the foregoing calculation, a Construction
Asset shall not include any Property that is eighty-five percent (85%) or more
leased to tenants that are unaffiliated with Borrower.

            (l)   Limitation on Joint Venture Interests. The value of any Joint
Venture Interests (excluding Foreign Property Interests), determined in
accordance with GAAP, shall at no time exceed in the aggregate fifteen percent
(15%) of Total Asset Value.

            (m)   Limitation on Taxable REIT Subsidiaries. The value, determined
in accordance with GAAP, at book value of all Taxable REIT Subsidiaries
(excluding Foreign Property Interests) will not exceed twenty percent (20%) of
Total Asset Value.

            (n)   Calculation. Each of the foregoing ratios and financial
requirements shall be calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter.

            SECTION 5.9. Restriction on Fundamental Changes. (a) Neither the
Borrower nor General Partner shall enter into any merger or consolidation
without obtaining the prior written consent thereto in writing of the Required
Banks, unless the following criteria are met: (i) the Borrower or General
Partner is the surviving entity; (ii) the entity which is merged into Borrower
or General Partner is predominantly in the commercial real estate business;
(iii) the creditworthiness of the surviving entity's long term unsecured debt or
implied senior debt, as applicable, is either (A) Investment Grade or (B) if not
Investment Grade, not lower than Borrower's or General Partner's
creditworthiness, as applicable, two months immediately preceding such merger;
and (iv) in the case of any merger where the

                                       85
<PAGE>

then fair market value of the assets of the entity which is merged into the
Borrower or General Partner is more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Borrower's or General Partner's, as applicable, then Total Asset Value following
such merger, the consent of the Required Banks has been obtained, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Neither the Borrower
nor General Partner shall liquidate, wind-up or dissolve (or suffer any
liquidation or dissolution), discontinue its business or convey, lease, sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or series of transactions,
all or substantially all of its business or property, whether now or hereafter
acquired. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit the sale or
leasing of portions of the Real Property Assets in the ordinary course of
business.

(b) The Borrower shall not amend its agreement of limited partnership or other
organizational documents in any manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect
without the Required Banks' consent. Without limitation of the foregoing, no
Person shall be admitted as a general partner of the Borrower other than General
Partner. General Partner shall not amend its articles of incorporation, by-laws,
or other organizational documents in any manner that would have a Material
Adverse Effect without the Required Banks' consent. No Qualified Borrower shall
amend its organizational documents in any manner that would have a Material
Adverse Effect without the Required Banks' consent. The Borrower shall not make
any "in-kind" transfer of any of its property or assets to any of its
constituent partners if such transfer would result in an Event of Default under
Section 6.1(b) by reason of a breach of the provisions of Section 5.8.

            SECTION 5.10. Changes in Business. (a) Except for Permitted Holdings
and Foreign Property Interests, neither the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower nor
General Partner shall enter into any business which is substantially different
from that conducted by the Borrower or General Partner on the Closing Date after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The
Borrower shall carry on its business operations through the Borrower, its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and its Investment Affiliates.

            (b)   Except for Permitted Holdings and Foreign Property Interests,
Borrower shall not engage in any line of business which is substantially
different from the business conducted by the Borrower on the Closing Date, which
includes the ownership, operation and development of Real Property Assets and
the provision of services incidental thereto, whether directly or through its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and Investment Affiliates.

            SECTION 5.11. General Partner Status.

indirectly liable with respect to, any Indebtedness, except:

                  (1)   the Obligations; and

                  (2)   Indebtedness of Borrower for which there is recourse to
      General Partner which, after giving effect thereto, may be incurred or may
      remain outstanding without giving rise to an Event of Default or Default
      under any provision of this Article V.

            (c)   Restriction on Fundamental Changes.

                  (1)   General Partner shall not have an investment in any
      Person other than (i) Borrower or indirectly through Borrower, (ii)
      directly or indirectly in Financing Partnerships, and (iii) the interests
      identified on Schedule 5.11(c)(1) as being owned by General Partner.

                  (2)   General Partner shall not acquire an interest in any
      Property other than securities issued by Borrower and Financing
      Partnerships and the interests identified on Schedule 5.11(c)(2) attached
      hereto.

            (d)   Environmental Liabilities. Neither General Partner nor any of
its Subsidiaries shall become subject to any Environmental Claim which has a
Material Adverse Effect, including, without limitation, any arising out of or
related to (i) the release or threatened release of any Material of
Environmental Concern into the environment, or any remedial action in response
thereto, or (ii) any violation of any Environmental Laws. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provision, General Partner shall have the right to contest in good
faith any claim of violation of an Environmental Law by appropriate legal
proceedings and shall be entitled to postpone compliance with the obligation
being contested as long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) General Partner shall have given Administrative Agent prior
written notice of the commencement of such contest, (iii) noncompliance with
such Environmental Law shall not subject General Partner or such Subsidiary to
any criminal penalty or subject Administrative Agent or any Bank to pay any
civil penalty or to prosecution for a crime, and (iv) no portion of any Property
material to Borrower or its condition or prospects shall be in substantial
danger of being sold, forfeited or lost, by reason of such contest or the
continued existence of the matter being contested.

            (e)   Disposal of Partnership Interests. General Partner will not
directly or indirectly convey, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise
encumber or dispose of any of its partnership interests in Borrower or any of
its equity interest in any of the partners of the Borrower as of the date hereof
(except in connection with the dissolution or liquidation of such partners of
the Borrower or the redemption of interests in connection with stock repurchase
programs), except for the reduction of General Partner's interest in the
Borrower arising from Borrower's issuance of partnership interests in the
Borrower or the retirement of preferred units by Borrower. General Partner will
continue to be the managing general partner of Borrower.

            SECTION 5.12. Other Indebtedness. Borrower and General Partner shall
not allow any of their Subsidiaries, Financing Partnerships or Joint Venture
Subsidiaries that own, directly or indirectly, any Qualifying Unencumbered
Property to directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or otherwise become or
remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness other than trade debt incurred in
the ordinary course of business and Indebtedness owing to Borrower or any
Financing Partnership, if the resulting failure of such Property to qualify as a
Qualifying Unencumbered Property would result in an Event of Default under
Section 5.8.

            SECTION 5.13. Forward Equity Contracts. If Borrower shall enter into
any forward equity contracts, Borrower may only settle the same by delivery of
stock, it being agreed that if Borrower shall settle the same with cash, the
same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder unless Borrower shall have
received the unanimous consent of the Banks to settle such forward equity
contracts with cash.

            SECTION 5.14. Capital Funding Loans. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any Property located outside
the United States (each a "Non-US Property") is owned by a Financing Partnership
(a "100% AMB Non-US Property Owner"), by a Joint Venture Subsidiary (a "JV
Non-US Property Owner") or by a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of a
Joint Venture Subsidiary (a "Tiered Non-US Property Owner"; such Joint Venture
Subsidiary is hereinafter referred to as the "First Tier JV"; each entity
through which the First Tier JV indirectly owns a Tiered Non-US Property Owner
is hereinafter referred to as an "Intermediate Tier Entity"; and the Tiered
Non-US Property Owners, the 100% AMB Non-US Property Owners and the JV Non-US
Property Owners are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a "Non-US
Property Owner" and collectively as the "Non-US Property Owners") and the Non-US
Property Owner or, in the case of any Tiered Non-US Property Owner, the related
First Tier JV or a related Intermediate Tier Entity has incurred Indebtedness
(whether or not such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien against such Non-US
Property and/or any direct or indirect equity interests in the Non-US Property
Owner) (each a "Capital Funding Loan") held by

                                       88
<PAGE>

      (x)   in the case of a 100% AMB Non-US Property Owner, Borrower or any
            other Financing Partnership, and

      (y)   in the case of a JV Non-US Property Owner or a Tiered Non-US
            Property Owner, either (AA) an entity (hereinafter an "International
            FinCo") in which Borrower's Share is the same or greater than
            Borrower's Share in such Non-US Property Owner, or (BB) a Financing
            Partnership (or Borrower directly) and entities which are not
            Financing Partnerships (including Persons who are not Affiliates of
            Borrower or whose constituent entities include Persons who are not
            Affiliates of Borrower) ("Joint Lenders"), provided that Borrower's
            direct or indirect share of such Indebtedness is the same or greater
            than Borrower's Share of such Non-US Property Owner,

then no such Capital Funding Loan or related Second Tier Funding Loan (as
defined below) shall be deemed to constitute Indebtedness for any purposes under
this Agreement, any Lien securing such Capital Funding Loan shall be a Permitted
Lien and no Non-US Property to which such Capital Funding Loan or Second Tier
Funding Loan relates shall fail to be a Qualifying Unencumbered Property solely
because the capital provided to the applicable Non-US Property Owner or related
First Tier JV or Intermediate Tier Entity was in the form of a Capital Funding
Loan rather than a contribution to the equity of such Non-US Property Owner,
First Tier JV or Intermediate Tier Entity, so long as

      (a)   in the case of a Capital Funding Loan made by an International
            FinCo, the sale of such Capital Funding Loan, or the sale or
            refinancing of any interest in the Non-US Property or any direct or
            indirect equity interests in the Non-US Property Owner acquired as a
            result of the exercise of any remedies in connection with the
            enforcement of such Capital Funding Loan, is Substantially
            Controlled by Borrower (as defined below),

      (b)   in the case of a Capital Funding Loan made by Joint Lenders, any
            remedies in connection with enforcement of such Capital Funding Loan
            may only be exercised by such Joint Lenders concurrently and, in the
            event of any such exercise and the Joint Lenders acquire such Non-US
            Property or any direct or indirect equity interests in such Non-US
            Property Owner, the sale or refinancing of such Non-US Property and,
            if the direct or indirect equity interests in such Non-US Property
            Owner are held jointly, such equity interests will be Substantially
            Controlled by Borrower, and

                                       89
<PAGE>

      (c)   no interest in any Capital Funding Loan or Second Tier Funding Loan
            held directly or indirectly by Borrower is subject to any Lien
            (other than a Permitted Lien) or any Negative Pledge.

For purposes of the foregoing, an action will be "Substantially Controlled by
Borrower" if such action is substantially controlled directly by Borrower or
through one or more Financing Partnerships either by agreement of the parties,
through the provisions of a Person's formation documents or otherwise. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, an action shall be deemed to be
substantially controlled directly by Borrower or through one or more Financing
Partnerships if Borrower or such Financing Partnerships have the ability to
exercise a usual and customary buy-sell right in the event of a disagreement
regarding such action. As used herein the term "Second Tier Funding Loan" means
any loans made to an International FinCo by Borrower, any Financing Partnerships
of Borrower and/or any other Person with an equity interest in such
International FinCo (or affiliates of such other Person) so long as (x)
Borrower's direct or indirect share of the combined loans of Borrower, any
Financing Partnership and/or such other Persons (or affiliates thereof) to the
International FinCo is the same or greater than Borrower's Share

of the applicable Non-US Property Owner, and (y) all such loans are pari passu
and any remedies that may be exercised in connection with enforcement of such
loans may only be exercised concurrently or not at all.

time) the holder or holders thereof, or any trustee or agent for such holders,
to accelerate the maturity of any such indebtedness;

            (f)   the Borrower or the General Partner shall commence a voluntary
case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief
with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee,

accrued thereon and without presentation, demand, or protest or other
requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and
appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate
and notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower for itself and on behalf of any Qualified Borrower; and upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Banks, may (and upon the
demand of the Required Banks shall), by written notice to the Borrower, in
addition to the exercise of all of the rights and remedies permitted the
Administrative Agent and the Banks at law or equity or under any of the other
Loan Documents, declare that the Commitments are terminated and declare the
unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the

Borrower for itself and on behalf of any Qualified Borrower.

to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under this Agreement or at law or in
equity with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be
commenced and maintained by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Administrative Agent and/or the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall act at the
direction of the Required Banks in connection with the exercise of any and all
remedies at law, in equity or under any of the Loan Documents or, if the

Default, the Administrative Agent may pursue such rights and remedies as it may
determine.

                                       94
<PAGE>

            SECTION 6.3. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give
notice to the Borrower under Section 6.1(c) and 6.1(d) promptly upon being
requested to do so by the Required Banks and shall thereupon notify all the
Banks thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than
nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless Administrative Agent
has received notice in writing from a Bank or Borrower referring to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such event or condition.
Should Administrative Agent receive notice of the occurrence of an Default or
Event of Default expressly stating that such notice is a notice of an Default or
Event of Default, or should Administrative Agent send Borrower a notice of
Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to each Bank.

            SECTION 6.4. Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit. (a) If, at any
time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued
hereunder and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative
Agent, after consultation with the Banks, may, and upon the demand of the
Required Banks shall, whether in addition to the taking by the Administrative
Agent of any of the actions described in this Article or otherwise, make a
demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand (but in any event
within ten (10) days after such demand) the Borrower shall, pay to the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in same day funds at the
Administrative Agent's office designated in such demand, for deposit in a
special cash collateral account (the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") to
be maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Banks)
and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by
the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit
Usage under the Letters of Credit. Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.

            (b)   The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the
Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable
benefit of the Banks a lien on and a security interest in, the following
collateral (the "Letter of Credit Collateral"):

                  (i)   the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash
deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to
time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

                  (ii)  all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments
from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the
Administrative Agent for or on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in
respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;

                                       95
<PAGE>

                  (iii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in
respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit
Collateral; and

                  (iv)  to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all
proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral. The lien
and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of
the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan
Document.

            (c)   The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Banks to apply, from time to time after funds are
deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, funds then held in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order
as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by
the Borrower to the Banks in respect of the Letters of Credit.

            (d)   Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on
behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the
funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in
Section 6.4(h) hereof.

            (e)   The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise
dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or
permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon
or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the
security interest created by this Section 6.4.

            (f)   If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

                  (i)   The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from
time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of first, (x)
amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed
by the Borrower and (y) any Letter of Credit Usage described in clause (ii) of
the definition thereof that are then due and payable and second, any other
unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall
elect. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 6.4 are in
addition to any rights and remedies which any Bank may have.

                                       96
<PAGE>

                  (ii)  The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole
discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition
to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it,
all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

            (g)   The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit
Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own
property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.

            (h)   At such time as all Events of Default have been cured or
waived in writing, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower. Absent such cure or written
waiver, any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account
and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Borrower
hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the Maturity Date shall be
paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such
surplus.

            SECTION 6.5. Distribution of Proceeds after Default. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of
Section 9.16 hereof , from and after an Event of Default, to the extent proceeds
are received by Administrative Agent, such proceeds will be distributed to the
Banks pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of the Loans
(giving effect to any participations granted therein pursuant to Section 2.3 and
Section 9.4).

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                   THE AGENTS

            SECTION 7.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Except as set forth in Sections 7.8 and 7.9 hereof, the provisions of this
Article VII are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Banks,
and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the
provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement,
Administrative Agent shall each act solely as an agent of the Banks and do not
assume and shall not be deemed to have

                                       97
<PAGE>

assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the
Borrower.

            SECTION 7.2. Agency and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank of
America, N.A. each has the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank of America, N.A. and each of their affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower, General Partner or any Subsidiary or affiliate of
the Borrower as if they were not the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent,
as applicable, hereunder, and the term "Bank" and "Banks" shall include each of
JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank of America, N.A., each in its individual capacity.

            SECTION 7.3. Action by Agents. The obligations of each of the Agents
hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Agents shall not be required to take
any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly
provided in Article VI. The duties of each Agent shall be administrative in
nature. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.6, each Agent shall
administer the Loans in the same manner as each administers its own loans.

            SECTION 7.4. Consultation with Experts. As between Administrative
Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, the Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

            SECTION 7.5. Liability of Agents. As between each Agent on the one
hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their
affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent
on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any
borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants
or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified
in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent,
or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection
herewith. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on

                                       98
<PAGE>

the other hand, none of the Agents shall incur any liability by acting in
reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing
(which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be
genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

            SECTION 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance
with its Commitment, indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without
limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or
liability (except such as result from such indemnitee's gross negligence or
willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with
its duties as Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action
taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that any Agent
shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in
accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other
party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall
reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon
the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. Each Agent shall
reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days
of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable
therefor.

            SECTION 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or any other
Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
any action under this Agreement.

            SECTION 7.8. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent or the
Syndication Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks,
the Borrower and each other and the Administrative Agent or the Syndication
Agent, as applicable, shall resign in the event its Commitment (without
participants) is reduced to less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) unless
as a result of a cancellation or reduction in the aggregate Commitments. Upon
any such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, which
successor Administrative Agent or successor Syndication Agent (as applicable)
shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be
subject to Borrower's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent
(as applicable) shall have been so appointed by the Majority

                                       99
<PAGE>

Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent (as
applicable) gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent
or retiring Syndication Agent (as applicable) may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent (as applicable),
which shall be the Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or the Syndication
Agent as the case may be, who shall act until the Majority Banks shall appoint
an Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent. Any appointment of a successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent by Majority Banks or the retiring
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be
subject to the Borrower's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent or successor Syndication Agent, as applicable, such
successor Administrative Agent or successor Syndication Agent, as applicable,
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Syndication Agent, as applicable,
and the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Syndication Agent, as
applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The
rights and duties of the Administrative Agent to be vested in any successor
Administrative Agent shall include, without limitation, the rights and duties as
Swingline Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent's or retiring
Syndication Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as applicable. For
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks
(excluding for such determination Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent in
its capacity as a Bank, as applicable), Administrative Agent or Syndication
Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days'
prior written notice to Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent and Borrower.
Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment
by a successor Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent,
as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

            SECTION 7.9. Consents and Approvals. All communications from
Administrative Agent to the Banks requesting the Banks' determination, consent,
approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to
each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as
to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or
shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall
otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if
reasonably requested by a Bank and to the extent not previously provided to such
Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to
Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved, (iv) shall include Administrative Agent's recommended course of action
or determination in respect thereof ), and (v) shall

                                      100
<PAGE>

include the following clause in capital letters, "FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS
NOTICE WITHIN THE BANK REPLY PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED CONSENT TO THE
RECOMMENDATION SET FORTH HEREIN". Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any
event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from
Administrative Agent (the "Bank Reply Period"). Unless a Bank shall give written
notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or
determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of
the reasons behind such objection) within the Bank Reply Period, such Bank shall
be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or
determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required
Banks, Majority Banks or all the Banks, Administrative Agent shall submit its
recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such
recommendation or determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required
approval or consent (or deemed approval or consent, as the case may be) shall
follow the course of action or determination of the Required Banks, Majority
Banks or all the Banks (and each non-responding Bank shall be deemed to have
concurred with such recommended course of action), as the case may be.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

            SECTION 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any
Euro-Dollar Borrowing or Money Market IBOR Loan the Administrative Agent
determines in good faith that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts)
are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of
the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. In such event (a) unless
the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd)
Euro-Dollar Business Day before, but excluding, the date of (i) any Euro-Dollar
Borrowing for Dollars for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given
that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made
as a Base Rate Borrowing, or (ii) any Money Market IBOR Borrowing for which a
Notice of Money Market Borrowing has previously been given, the Money Market
IBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and
including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day, and (b) any Notice of
Borrowing for a Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated in an Alternate Currency shall
be ineffective.

                                      101
<PAGE>

            SECTION 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank
(or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) (x) to make, maintain or fund its
Euro-Dollar Loans, or (y) to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by the
Fronting Bank, or, with respect to the Fronting Bank, to issue a Letter of
Credit, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event
described in clause (x) above to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or in the case of the
event described in clause (y) above, to participate in any Letter of Credit
issued by the Fronting Bank or, with respect to the Fronting Bank, to issue any
Letter of Credit, shall be suspended. With respect to Euro-Dollar Loans, before
giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such
Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such
Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine
that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding
Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election and such
Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted as of such date to a Base Rate Loan (without
payment of any amounts that Borrower would otherwise be obligated to pay
pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof with respect to Loans converted pursuant to this
Section 8.2) in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and
principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans
of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

            If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain
or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5)
Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank,
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank's outstanding Loans,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to
purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is
hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of
such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees due
hereunder, upon which event, such Bank's Commitments shall be deemed to be
canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

                                      102
<PAGE>

            SECTION 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

            (a)   If, on or after (x) the date hereof in the case of Committed
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1, or (y) the date of the related Money Market
Quote (in each case, the "Loan Effective Date"), in the case of any Money Market
Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in
any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) made at the Closing Date of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement
imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding
with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an
applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, insurance
assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office)
or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the
interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature,
extent or consequence than those in existence as of the Loan Effective Date
affecting such Bank's Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note, or its obligation to make
Euro-Dollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining
any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under
its Note with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans, by an amount deemed by such
Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such
Bank to the Euro-Dollar Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate
such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally
imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar
circumstances.

            (b)   If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the
date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a
consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
request or directive (taking into consideration its

                                      103
<PAGE>

policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by
such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by
such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to
such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its
Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such
additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

            (c)   Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the
date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this
Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any
such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which
such event occurred, then Borrower's liability for any amounts described in this
Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to
those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th)
day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified
Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming
compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed
calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall
be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount,
such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

            (d)   If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to
this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business
Day's notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of
such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank's outstanding Loans, and to become a
Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to
offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such
Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then
outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due
thereon, upon which event, such Bank's Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

            SECTION 8.4. Taxes.

            (a)   Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower
to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in
the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income,
and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any
political

                                      104
<PAGE>

subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income,
and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank's
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other
jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or
former connection between such Bank or Administrative Agent and such other
jurisdiction or by the United States (all such non-excluded taxes, duties,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Non-Excluded Taxes"). If the Borrower or any
Qualified Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or Letter of
Credit, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank, the Fronting Bank or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower
or Qualified Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or
Qualified Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the
Borrower or Qualified Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.

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

            (c)   In the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the
Closing Date are imposed, or Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date
increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following receipt
of knowledge thereof. If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such
event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such
event occurred, then Borrower's or Qualified Borrower's liability for such
additional Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event
(including payment of a make-whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be
limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the
ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank
actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event.

            (d)   The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank, the Fronting Bank
and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
8.4)

                                      105
<PAGE>

paid by such Bank, the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) and, so long as such Bank, the Fronting Bank or Administrative Agent has
promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability for
penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This
indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank, the
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand
therefor.

            (e)   Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on
or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank,
shall provide the Borrower with (A) two duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service form 1001 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service, and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such form or
certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires
or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, certifying (i) in
the case of a Form 1001, that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable
pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States, and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first
becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding
tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered
excluded from "Non-Excluded Taxes" as defined in Section 8.4(a).

            (f)   Upon reasonable demand by Borrower or any Qualified Borrower
to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as
the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, or to such
government or taxing authority as the Borrower or Qualified Borrower may
reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably
requested in writing in order to allow the Borrower or Qualified Borrower to
make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent
hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding
for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or
withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or
submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form
or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
the Borrower or Qualified Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to
be delivered with any reasonably required certification.

                                      106
<PAGE>

            (g)   For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to
provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.4(d)
(unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring
subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided),
such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(c) with
respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however,
that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate
of withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such
Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so long
as Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.

            (h)   If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or
for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will
change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or
reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change,
in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

            (i)   If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to
this Section 8.4, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business
Day's notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of
such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank's outstanding Loans, and to become a
Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to
offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such
Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then
outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due
thereon, upon which event, such Bank's Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

            SECTION 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar
Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been
suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation
under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower
shall, by at least five Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the
Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall
apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no
longer exist:

            (a)   Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of
Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Euro-Dollar Loans and
thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank to the Borrower
as Dollar-denominated Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate
Loans, and no

                                      107
<PAGE>

Borrowing from such Bank would take effect with respect to Loans denominated in
an Alternate Currency; and

            (b)   after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all
payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar
Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead, and

            (c)   Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would
otherwise be required by Section 2.14 with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans
converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

            SECTION 9.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise

                                      108
<PAGE>

of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

            SECTION 9.3. Expenses; Indemnification.

            (a)   The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after written
notice from the Administrative Agent, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and disbursements of special counsel Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom

Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings

shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative fees and disbursements of (A)
counsel for Administrative Agent and (B) counsel for all of the Banks as a
group; and provided, further, that all other costs and expenses for which
Borrower is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the
reasonable non-duplicative costs and expenses of Administrative Agent. For
purposes of this Section 9.3(a)(iii), (1) counsel for Administrative Agent shall
mean a single outside law firm representing Administrative Agent and (2) counsel
for all of the Banks as a group shall mean a single outside law firm
representing such Banks as a group (which law firm may or may not be the same
law firm representing the Administrative Agent).

            (b)   The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers,
agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that
may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the
payment of the Obligations) be asserted against any Indemnitee, as a result of,
or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or
performance of any Loan Document, (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the
Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any
Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or

                                      109
<PAGE>

operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental
Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities
of Borrower or any Environmental Affiliate involving Materials of Environmental
Concern, (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set
forth herein, but excluding those liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses (a) for which such Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence,
willful misconduct bad faith or fraud of any Indemnitee as finally determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) arising from violations of Environmental
Laws relating to a Property which are caused by the act or omission of such
Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes possession of such Property or (d) owing
by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon contractual obligations of such
Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section
9.3(b) in favor of any director, officer, agent or employee of Administrative
Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their respective capacities as such
director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower's obligations under this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3,
Borrower shall indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks
free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and damages (including
consequential damages) that the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer or
incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in
obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary
in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of
the representations and warranties, or a breach of the provisions, set forth in
Section 4.6(b).

            SECTION 9.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to
time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the
Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived,
but subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, to set off and to appropriate and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and
any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including,
without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower
against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Qualified
Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of
the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in
Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall by
exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of
a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect
to any Note held by it

                                      110
<PAGE>

or Letter of Credit participated in by it or, in the case of the Fronting Bank,
Letter of Credit issued by it, which is greater than the proportion received by
any other Bank or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank,
the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such
participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments
shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and
interest with respect to the Notes held by the Banks or Letter of Credit issued
or participated in by such other Bank shall be shared by the Banks pro rata;
provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to
exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not
received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such
exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower or Qualified Borrower
other than its indebtedness under the Notes or the Letters of Credit. The
Borrower, for itself and on behalf of any Qualified Borrower, agrees, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of
a participation in a Note or a Letter of Credit, whether or not acquired
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or
counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower or the
applicable Qualified Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank may, by
separate agreement with the Borrower or a Qualified Borrower, waive its right to
set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be
effective against such Bank under this Section 9.4.

            SECTION 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement
or the Notes or the Letters of Credit or other Loan Documents may be amended or
waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by
the Borrower and the Majority Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Swingline Lender in their
capacity as Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or the Swingline Lender, as
applicable, are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable); provided that (A) no amendment or
waiver of the provisions of, or waiver of a default under, Article V (including,
without limitation, any of the definitions of the defined terms used in Article
V or any change in the notice and cure periods, if any, described in Section 6.1
and applicable to defaults under Article V), other than the provisions of
Section 5.8(h) requiring Majority Bank consent, shall be effective unless signed
(or otherwise consented to) by the Borrower and the Required Banks and (B) no
amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of
Credit or any other Loan Documents shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i)
increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease
in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional
obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any
fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination
of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the

                                      111
<PAGE>

Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the
number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take
any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v)
release the Guaranty or any Qualified Borrower Guaranty or (vi) modify the
provisions of this Section 9.5, and (C) no amendment or waiver of the provisions
of Section 2.13(a) (as it relates to the Borrower's payment of Loans and fees
hereunder by not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when
due) shall be binding upon a Designating Lender as to any Money Market Loans
then outstanding unless signed by such Designating Lender.

            SECTION 9.6. 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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior
written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and a Bank may not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as
permitted in subsection (b) and (c) of this Section 9.6.

            (b)   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may
at any time, grant to an existing Bank, one or more banks, finance companies,
insurance companies or other financial institutions (a "Participant") in minimum
amounts of not less than $5,000,000 (or any lesser amount in the case of
participations to an existing Bank) participating interests in its Commitment or
any or all of its Loans. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount
(also a "Participant"), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all
of its Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of
Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default.
In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a
Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may
grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain
the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9.5 without the consent of the Participant.
The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its

                                      112
<PAGE>

participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with
respect to its participating interest.

            (c)   Any Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution (in
each case, an "Assignee") (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in
minimum amounts of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral
multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) thereafter (or any lesser amount in
the case of assignments to an existing Bank) and (ii) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a
proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Assignee shall
assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer Supplement in
substantially the form of Exhibit "E" hereto executed by such Assignee and such
transferor Bank; provided, that such assignment shall be subject to the
Administrative Agent's and the Fronting Bank's consent and, provided that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower's consent,
which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided
further that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a
Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of Borrower shall be
required; and provided further that such assignment may, but need not, include
rights of the transferor Bank in respect of outstanding Money Market Loans. Upon
execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such
transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such
transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a
Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent
or action by any party shall be required and the transferor Bank shall be
released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor
Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In
connection with any such assignment (other than an assignment by a Bank to an
affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If
the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4. Any assignment made
during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by any
subsequent cure of such Event of Default.

            (d)   Any Bank (each, a "Designating Lender") may at any time
designate one Designated Lender to fund Money Market Loans on behalf of such
Designating Lender subject to the terms of this Section 9.6(d) and the
provisions in Section 9.6(b) and (c) shall not apply to such designation. No
Bank may designate more than one (1) Designated Lender at any one time. The
parties to each such

                                      113
<PAGE>

designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately
completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee
representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will
accept such Designation Agreement and will give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrower, whereupon, (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the
Designating Lender a Designated Lender Note payable to the order of the
Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the
Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this
Agreement with a right (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4) to make Money
Market Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to the Designation
Agreement after the Borrower has accepted a Money Market Loan (or portion
thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be
required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement
except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not
otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then
due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and
assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain
obligated to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks for each and
every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated
Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
indemnification obligations under Section 7.6 hereof and any sums otherwise
payable to the Borrower by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall
serve as the administrative agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf
of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all
payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive
all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including,
without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or
relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice,
communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by
the Designating Lender as administrative agent for the Designated Lender and
shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be
binding upon the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the
Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Banks may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender
sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or
any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other
than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such
Designated Lender or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6
(b) and (c).

            (e)   Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement and its Note and the Letter(s) of Credit
participated in by such Bank or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, issued by it,
to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank
from its obligations hereunder.

                                      114
<PAGE>

            (f)   No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank's
rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4
than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior written
consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 requiring such
Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain
circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater
payment did not exist.

            (g)   No Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement
shall be permitted to further assign less than all of such rights and
obligations. No participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement
shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.

            (h)   Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall
be permitted to enter into an assignment of, or sell a participation interest
in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in such Bank holding
a Commitment without participants of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
(or in the case of each of the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent,
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)) unless as a result of a cancellation or
reduction of the aggregate Commitments; provided, however, that no Bank shall be
prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as such assignment is
otherwise permitted under this Section 9.6.

            SECTION 9.7. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the
Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not
relying upon any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in
the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.8. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment
Currency. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW).

            (b)   Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in
respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the
United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself
and in respect of its property and each Qualified Borrower, generally and
unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and
appellate courts from any thereof.

                                      115
<PAGE>

The Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself and each Qualified Borrower, to
the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such
action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower or Qualified
Borrower at its address set forth below. The Borrower hereby, for itself and
each Qualified Borrower, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative
Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower or a Qualified Borrower in
any other jurisdiction.

            (c)   If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency,
the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so
under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be
purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such
judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

            (d)   The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower or
any Qualified Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and
interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any Qualified Borrower and any other
amounts due from the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower hereunder to the
Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered
in accordance with Section 9.8(c)), in any currency other than the relevant
currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the
actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of
the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in
respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due
hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the
Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the
relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be
enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of
recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual
receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so
expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment
being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.9. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon
the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties
hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall
not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory
to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of
execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

            SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SYNDICATION AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

            SECTION 9.11. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder.

            SECTION 9.12. Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry
its Loans at, to or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office,
subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.

            SECTION 9.13. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the
Borrower or any other Person acting by or through Borrower against the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Bank or the affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of them for any
punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or by the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby, for itself and each
Qualified Borrower, waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for
any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected
to exist in its favor.

            SECTION 9.14. Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the
Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement
contained in this Agreement shall be had against (i) any officer, director,
shareholder or employee of the Borrower or General Partner or (ii) any general
partner of

                                      117
<PAGE>

Borrower other than General Partner, in each case except in the event of fraud
or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder
or employee or such general partner.

            SECTION 9.15. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and each Bank
shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about Borrower, General
Partner and its Subsidiaries and Investment Affiliates, and the Properties
thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally
disclosed to the public, which is furnished to Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners or any Bank
pursuant to the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document is used only for
the purposes of this Agreement and shall not be divulged to any Person other
than the Administrative Agent, the Banks, and their affiliates and respective
officers, directors, employees and agents who are actively and directly
participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan and
other transactions between such Bank and the Borrower, except: (a) to their
attorneys and accountants, (b) in connection with the enforcement of the rights
and exercise of any remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, (c) in connection with assignments and
participations and the solicitation of prospective assignees and participants
referred to in Section 9.6 hereof, who have agreed in writing to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement substantially equivalent to the terms of this Section
9.15, and (d) as may otherwise be required or requested by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or any Bank or by
any applicable law, rule, regulation or judicial process (but only to the extent
not in violation, conflict or inconsistent with the applicable regulatory
requirement, request, summons or subpoena); provided, however, that in the event
a Bank receives a summons or subpoena to disclose confidential information to
any party, such Bank shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify Borrower
thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena
and Borrower shall be afforded an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such
other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as Borrower and
Administrative Agent may deem reasonable.

            SECTION 9.16. Bank's Failure to Fund.

            (a)   If a Bank does not advance to Administrative Agent such Bank's
Pro Rata Share of a Loan in accordance herewith, then neither Administrative
Agent nor the other Banks shall be required or obligated to fund such Bank's Pro
Rata Share of such Loan.

            (b)   As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below:

                                      118
<PAGE>

                  (i)   "Defaulting Bank" shall mean any Bank which (x) does not
advance to the Administrative Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Share of a Loan in
accordance herewith for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of such
failure from Administrative Agent, (y) shall otherwise fail to perform such
Bank's obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the
obligation to purchase participations pursuant to Section 2.3) for a period of
five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure from Administrative Agent,
or (z) shall fail to pay the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, as the case
may be, upon demand, such Bank's Pro Rata Share of any costs, expenses or
disbursements incurred or made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms
of the Loan Documents for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of
such failure from Administrative Agent, and in all cases, such failure is not as
a result of a good faith dispute as to whether such advance is properly required
to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or as to whether such
other performance or payment is properly required pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement.

                  (ii)  "Junior Creditor" means any Defaulting Bank which has
not (x) fully cured each and every default on its part under the Loan Documents
and (y) unconditionally tendered to the Administrative Agent such Defaulting
Bank's Pro Rata Share of all costs, expenses and disbursements required to be
paid or reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

                  (iii) "Payment in Full" means, as of any date, the receipt by
the Banks who are not Junior Creditors of an amount of cash, in lawful currency
of the United States, sufficient to indefeasibly pay in full all Senior Debt.

                  (iv)  "Senior Debt" means (x) collectively, any and all
indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Banks who are
not Junior Creditors from time to time, whether fixed or contingent, direct or
indirect, joint or several, due or not due, liquidated or unliquidated,
determined or undetermined, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise,
whether on open account or evidenced by one or more instruments, and whether for
principal, premium, interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing
after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding referred to in Section
6.1(f) or (g)), reimbursement for fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or
otherwise, which arise under, in connection with or in respect of the Loans or
the Loan Documents, and (y) any and all deferrals, renewals, extensions and
refundings of, or amendments, restatements, rearrangements, modifications or
supplements to, any such indebtedness, obligation or liability.

                  (v)   "Subordinated Debt" means (x) any and all indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of Borrower to one or more Junior Creditors from
time to time, whether fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, joint or several,
due or not due, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, arising
by

                                      119
<PAGE>

contract, operation of law or otherwise, whether on open account or evidenced by
one or more instruments, and whether for principal, premium, interest
(including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of a petition
initiating any proceeding referred to in Section 6.1(f) or (g)), reimbursement
for fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise, which arise under, in
connection with or in respect of the Loans or the Loan Documents, and (y) any
and all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, or amendments,
restatements, rearrangements, modifications or supplements to, any such
indebtedness, obligation or liability.

            (c)   Immediately upon a Bank's becoming a Junior Creditor and until
such time as such Bank shall have cured all applicable defaults, no Junior
Creditor shall, prior to Payment in Full of all Senior Debt:

                  (i)   accelerate, demand payment of, sue upon, collect, or
receive any payment upon, in any manner, or satisfy or otherwise discharge, any
Subordinated Debt, whether for principal, interest and otherwise;

                  (ii)  take or enforce any Liens to secure Subordinated Debt or
attach or levy upon any assets of Borrower, to enforce any Subordinated Debt;

                  (iii) enforce or apply any security for any Subordinated Debt;
or

                  (iv)  incur any debt or liability, or the like, to, or receive
any loan, return of capital, advance, gift or any other property, from, the
Borrower.

            (d)   In the event of:

                  (i)   any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation,
dissolution, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar
proceeding relating to Borrower;

                  (ii)  any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the
Borrower, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency,
reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings;

                  (iii) any assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of
creditors;

                  (iv)  any sale or other transfer of all or substantially all
assets of the Borrower; or

                  (v)   any other marshaling of the assets of the Borrower;

                                      120
<PAGE>

each of the Banks shall first have received Payment in Full of all Senior Debt
before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other
property, shall be made in respect of or upon any Subordinated Debt. Any payment
or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property that would
otherwise be payable or deliverable in respect of Subordinated Debt to any
Junior Creditor but for this Agreement shall be paid or delivered directly to
the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Banks in accordance with this
Agreement until Payment in Full of all Senior Debt. If any Junior Creditor
receives any such payment or distribution, it shall promptly pay over or deliver
the same to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the
preceding sentence.

            (e)   Each Junior Creditor shall file in any bankruptcy or other
proceeding of Borrower in which the filing of claims is required by law, all
claims relating to Subordinated Debt that such Junior Creditor may have against
Borrower and assign to the Banks who are not Junior Creditors all rights of such
Junior Creditor thereunder. If such Junior Creditor does not file any such claim
prior to forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the time to file such
claim, Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for such Junior Creditor, is
hereby irrevocably authorized to do so in the name of such Junior Creditor or,
in Administrative Agent's sole discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and
to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of such nominee. The foregoing
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. The
Administrative Agent shall, to the exclusion of each Junior Creditor, have the
sole right, subject to Section 9.5 hereof, to accept or reject any plan proposed
in any such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim
is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or
otherwise, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to
Administrative Agent the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent
necessary for that purpose, each Junior Creditor hereby transfers and assigns to
the Administrative Agent all of the Junior Creditor's rights to any such
payments or distributions to which Junior Creditor would otherwise be entitled.

            (f)   (i)   If any payment or distribution of any character or any
security, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be received by
any Junior Creditor in contravention of any of the terms hereof, such payment or
distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and
shall promptly be paid over or delivered and transferred to, Administrative
Agent for application to the payment of all Senior Debt, to the extent necessary
to achieve Payment in Full. In the event of the failure of any Junior Creditor
to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, Administrative
Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same as
attorney-in-fact for such Junior Creditor.

                  (ii)  Each Junior Creditor shall take such action (including,
without limitation, the execution and filing of a financing statement with
respect to

                                      121
<PAGE>

this Agreement and the execution, verification, delivery and filing of proofs of
claim, consents, assignments or other instructions that Administrative Agent may
require from time to time in order to prove or realize upon any rights or claims
pertaining to Subordinated Debt or to effectuate the full benefit of the
subordination contained herein) as may, in Administrative Agent's sole and
absolute discretion, be necessary or desirable to assure the effectiveness of
the subordination effected by this Agreement.

            (g)   (i) Each Bank that becomes a Junior Creditor understands and
acknowledges by its execution hereof that each other Bank is entering into this
Agreement and the Loan Documents in reliance upon the absolute subordination in
right of payment and in time of payment of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt as
set forth herein.

                  (ii)  Only upon the Payment in Full of all Senior Debt shall
any Junior Creditor be subrogated to any remaining rights of the Banks which are
not Defaulting Banks to receive payments or distributions of assets of the
Borrower made on or applicable to any Senior Debt.

                  (iii) Each Junior Creditor agrees that it will deliver all
instruments or other writings evidencing any Subordinated Debt held by it to
Administrative Agent, promptly after request therefor by the Administrative
Agent.

                  (iv)  No Junior Creditor may at any time sell, assign or
otherwise transfer any Subordinated Debt, or any portion thereof, including,
without limitation, the granting of any Lien thereon, unless and until
satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9.6 above and the proposed
transferee shall have assumed in writing the obligation of the Junior Creditor
to the Banks under this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Administrative
Agent.

                  (v)   If any of the Senior Debt, should be invalidated,
avoided or set aside, the subordination provided for herein nevertheless shall
continue in full force and effect and, as between the Banks which are not
Defaulting Banks and all Junior Creditors, shall be and be deemed to remain in
full force and effect.

                  (vi)  Each Junior Creditor hereby irrevocably waives, in
respect of Subordinated Debt, all rights (x) under Sections 361 through 365,
502(e) and 509 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar sections hereafter in
effect under any other Federal or state laws or legal or equitable principles
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganizations, liquidations or otherwise
for the relief of debtors or protection of creditors), and (y) to seek or obtain
conversion to a different type of proceeding or to seek or obtain dismissal of a
proceeding, in each case in relation to a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency
or other proceeding under similar laws with

                                      122
<PAGE>

respect to the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Junior Creditor hereby specifically waives (A) the right to seek to give credit
(secured or otherwise) to the Borrower in any way under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code unless the same is subordinated in all respects to Senior Debt
in a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion and (B) the right to receive any collateral security (including,
without limitation, any "super priority" or equal or "priming" or replacement
Lien) for any Subordinated Debt unless the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks
have received a senior position acceptable to the Banks in their sole and
absolute discretion to secure all Senior Debt (in the same collateral to the
extent collateral is involved).

            (h)   (i)   In addition to and not in limitation of the
subordination effected by this Section 9.16, the Administrative Agent and each
of the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks may in their respective sole and
absolute discretion, also exercise any and all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity in respect of a Defaulting Bank; and

                  (ii)  The Administrative Agent shall give each of the Banks
notice of the occurrence of a default under this Section 9.16 by a Defaulting
Bank and if the Administrative Agent and/or one or more of the other Banks
shall, at their option, fund any amounts required to be paid or advanced by a
Defaulting Bank, the other Banks who have elected not to fund any portion of
such amounts shall not be liable for any reimbursements to the Administrative
Agent and/or to such other funding Banks.

            (i)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied
herein, a Defaulting Bank shall not be entitled to vote on any matter as to
which a vote by the Banks is required hereunder, including, without limitation,
any actions or consents on the part of the Administrative Agent as to which the
approval or consent of all the Banks or the Required Banks or Majority Banks is
required under Article VIII, Section 9.5 or elsewhere, so long as such Bank is a
Defaulting Bank; provided, however, that in the case of any vote requiring the
unanimous consent of the Banks, if all the Banks other than the Defaulting Bank
shall have voted in accordance with each other, then the Defaulting Bank shall
be deemed to have voted in accordance with such Banks.

            (j)   Each of the Administrative Agent and any one or more of the
Banks which are not Defaulting Banks may, at their respective option, (i)
advance to the Borrower such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Loans not advanced by
a Defaulting Bank in accordance with the Loan Documents, or (ii) pay to the
Administrative Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Share of any costs, expenses or
disbursements incurred or made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement not theretofore paid by a Defaulting Bank. Immediately upon
the making of any such advance by the Administrative Agent or any one of the
Banks, such Bank's Pro Rata

                                      123
<PAGE>

Share and the Pro Rata Share of the Defaulting Bank shall be recalculated to
reflect such advance. All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds
by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times
thereafter be made in accordance with such Bank's recalculated Pro Rata Share
unless and until a Defaulting Bank shall fully cure all defaults on the part of
such Defaulting Bank under the Loan Documents or otherwise existing in respect
of the Loans or this Agreement, at which time the Pro Rata Share of the Bank(s)
which advanced sums on behalf of the Defaulting Bank and of the Defaulting Bank
shall be restored to their original percentages.

            SECTION 9.17. Banks' ERISA Covenant. Each Bank, by its signature
hereto or on the applicable Transfer Supplement, hereby agrees (a) that on the
date any Loan is disbursed hereunder no portion of such Bank's Pro Rata Share of
such Loan will constitute "assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss.
2510.3-101 of an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of
ERISA or a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, and (b)
that following such date such Bank shall not allocate such Bank's Pro Rata Share
of any Loan to an account of such Bank if such allocation (i) by itself would
cause such Pro Rata Share of such Loan to then constitute "assets" (within the
meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101) of an "employee benefit plan" within the
meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a "plan" within the meaning of Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code and (ii) by itself would cause such Loan to constitute a
prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (which is not exempt from the
restrictions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and the taxes
and penalties imposed by Section 4975 of the Code and Section 502(i) of ERISA)
or any Agent or Bank being deemed in violation of Section 404 of ERISA.

            SECTION 9.18. No Bankruptcy Proceedings. Each of the Borrower, the
Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Joint
Bookrunners hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated
Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding
under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur
of (i) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing
commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (ii) the Maturity
Date.

            SECTION 9.19. Optional Increase in Commitments. At any time prior to
the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the date of this Agreement,
provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the
Borrower may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments
(subject to proviso (b) in the next sentence), either by designating a Qualified
Institution not theretofore a Bank to become a Bank (such designation to be
effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and/or by agreeing with an existing
Bank or Banks that such Bank's Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and
delivery by

                                      124
<PAGE>

the Borrower and such Bank or other financial institution of an instrument in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Bank
shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Qualified Institution shall
become a Bank with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and
obligations of a Bank with such a Commitment hereunder; provided that:

            (a)   the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to
the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Banks; and

            (b)   the amount of such increase, together with all other increases
in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.19 since
the date of this Agreement, does not cause the Facility Amount to exceed
$700,000,000.

Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this
Section 9.19, within five Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans then
outstanding) or at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto (in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding), as applicable,
each Bank's Pro Rata Share shall be recalculated to reflect such increase in the
Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be
reallocated among the Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans
owed to each Bank shall be equal to such Bank's Pro Rata Share (as
recalculated). All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the
Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be
made in accordance with each Bank's recalculated Pro Rata Share.

            SECTION 9.20. Managing Agents, Documentation Agents and Co-Agents.
Each of the Borrower, the Agents and each Bank acknowledges and agrees that (a)
the obligations of the Managing Agents, the Documentation Agents and the
Co-Agent hereunder shall be limited to those obligations that are expressly set
forth herein, if any, and the Managing Agents, Documentation Agents and Co-Agent
shall not be required to take any action or assume any liability except as may
be required in each of their capacity as a Bank hereunder, and (b) the
indemnifications set forth herein for the benefit of the Agents shall also run
to the benefit of the Managing Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Co-Agent
to the extent any of them incurs any loss, cost or damage arising from its
capacity as a Managing Agent, Documentation Agent or a Co-Agent.

            SECTION 9.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information
that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
