                  This Credit Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2004, (this
"Agreement") among the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto
(such financial institutions, together with their respective successors and
assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a "Lender" and
collectively as the "Lenders"), Bank of America, N.A. with an office at 55 South
Lake Avenue, Suite 900, Pasadena, California 91101, as agent for the Lenders (in
its capacity as agent, the "Agent"), The Pacific Lumber Company, a Delaware
corporation, with offices at 125 Main Street, P.O. Box 37, Scotia, California
95565 ("Palco") and Britt Lumber Co., Inc., a California corporation, with
offices at 105 Alder Grove Road, Arcata, CA 95521 ("Britt" and, together with
Palco, the "Borrowers" and each a "Borrower").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested the Lenders to make
available to the Borrowers a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of
credit in an amount not to exceed $35,000,000 and which extension of credit the
Borrowers will use for the purposes permitted hereunder;

                  WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein; the rules of construction
contained therein shall govern the interpretation of this Agreement, and all
Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by
reference;

                  WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make available to the
Borrowers a revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and
agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent, and the
Borrowers hereby agree as follows.

                                   ARTICLE 1
                           LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

1.1 Revolving Credit Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available a revolving credit facility
of up to $35,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Facility") to the Borrowers from
time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility
shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans
and Letters of Credit.

1.2      Revolving Loans.

(a) Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Article 8, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon Palco's
request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Initial
Funding Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans (the "Revolving
Loans") to the Borrower designated by Palco in amounts not to exceed such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of Availability, except for Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may elect to make
Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued Letters of Credit in excess
of the Borrowing Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the
Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the
Borrowing Base or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion.
If the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings would exceed Availability after giving
effect to any Borrowing, the Lenders may refuse to make or may otherwise
restrict the making of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such
excess has been eliminated, subject to the Agent's authority, in its sole
discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i).

(b) Procedure for Borrowing.

(1) Each Borrowing shall be made upon Palco's irrevocable written notice
delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing ("Notice of
Borrowing"), which must be received by the Agent prior to (i) 12:00 noon
(Pacific Standard time) three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date,
in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard time) on
the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying:

         (A) the amount of the Borrowing, which in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan
must equal or exceed $750,000 (and increments of $250,000 in excess of such
amount);

         (B) the requested Funding Date, which must be a Business Day;

         (C) whether the Revolving Loans requested are to be Base Rate Loans or
LIBOR Rate Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Base
Rate Loan); and

         (D) the duration of the Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans (and if
not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one
month);

provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Initial
Funding Date and all Borrowings made during the twelve month period following
the Initial Funding Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Loans only.

(2) In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Palco may give the Agent
telephonic notice of such request for advances to the respective Designated
Account on or before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all times shall
be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans,
regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

(3) Palco shall have no right to request a LIBOR Rate Loan while a Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) Reliance upon Authority. Prior to the Initial Funding Date, Palco shall
deliver to the Agent, a notice setting forth the account of each Borrower
("Designated Account") to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds
of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. Palco may designate one or more
replacement accounts from time to time by written notice. All such Designated
Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent is entitled to
rely conclusively on any person's request for Revolving Loans on behalf of
Palco, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to the respective
Designated Account. The Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any
individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by Palco to
make such requests on its behalf.

(d) No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower as a
result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), which
the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other
person duly authorized by Palco to request Revolving Loans on behalf of the
relevant Borrower. The crediting of Revolving Loans to the respective Designated
Account conclusively establishes the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such
Revolving Loans as provided herein.

(e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu
thereof) made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The Borrowers
shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

(f) Agent's Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or
telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall elect to have the terms of
Section 1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested Borrowing.
If the Bank declines in its sole discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant
to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g) shall apply to the requested
Borrowing.

(g) Making of Revolving Loans. If Agent elects to have the terms of this Section
1.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a Notice
of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the Agent shall notify the
Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender
shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the
Agent in immediately available funds, to the account from time to time
designated by Agent, not later than 12:00 noon. (Pacific Standard time) on the
applicable Funding Date. After the Agent's receipt of all proceeds of such
Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans
available to the applicable Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by
transferring same day funds to the respective Designated Account; provided,
however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall not exceed
the Availability on such date.

(h) Making of Non-Ratable Loans.

         (A) If Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to have the
terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing, the Bank shall make
a Revolving Loan in the amount of that Borrowing available to the Borrowers on
the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the respective
Designated Account. Each Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this
Section is herein referred to as a "Non-Ratable Loan", and such Revolving Loans
are collectively referred to as the "Non-Ratable Loans." Each Non-Ratable Loan
shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving
Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for
its own account. The aggregate amount of Non-Ratable Loans outstanding at any
time shall not exceed $5,000,000. The Agent shall not request the Bank to make
any Non-Ratable Loan if (1) the Agent has received written notice from any
Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article 8 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable
Borrowing, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed Availability on that
Funding Date.

         (B) The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the Agent's Liens in and
to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations
hereunder.

(i) Agent Advances.

         (A) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Agent is authorized
by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent's sole
discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B)
at any time that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article 8
have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Revolving Loans to the Borrowers on
behalf of the Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to
exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base but not in excess of the Maximum Revolver
Amount which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or
desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2)
to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans
and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Borrower
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as
described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are herein referred to as "Agent
Advances"); provided, that the Majority Lenders may at any time revoke the
Agent's authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in
writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent's receipt
thereof.

         (B) The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Agent's Liens in and to
the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations
hereunder.

1.3      Letters of Credit.

(a) Agreement to Issue or Cause To Issue. The Borrower, the Existing Issuing
Bank and the Lenders hereby agree that each of the Existing Letters of Credit
shall, on and after the Closing Date, be deemed for all purposes of this
Agreement to be a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding under the terms of
this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent
agrees (i) to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue for the account of the
Borrower designated by Palco one or more commercial/documentary and standby
letters of credit ("Letter of Credit") and/or (ii) to provide credit support or
other enhancement to a Letter of Credit Issuer acceptable to Agent, which issues
a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower designated by Palco (any such
credit support or enhancement being herein referred to as a "Credit Support")
from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

(b) Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. The Agent shall not have any obligation to
issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support
for any Letter of Credit at any time if: (i) the maximum face amount of the
requested Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Letter of Credit
Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum undrawn amount of the requested
Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the Borrowers
in connection with the opening thereof would exceed Availability at such time;
or (iii) such Letter of Credit has an expiration date less than 30 days prior to
the Stated Termination Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance for
standby letters of credit and 180 days for documentary letters of credit. With
respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any "evergreen" or automatic
renewal provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such
extension or renewal unless any such Lender shall have provided to the Agent,
written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer is
entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the
requirements of this Section 1.3 are met and no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall decline to consent to any such
extension or renewal.

(c) Other Conditions. In addition to conditions precedent contained in Article
8, the obligation of the Agent to issue or to cause to be issued any Letter of
Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit is subject to the
following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent:

(1) Palco shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at such times and
in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in
form and substance satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such
other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form,
terms and purpose of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; and

(2) As of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or
Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money
center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the
amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation
applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that
the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of
credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.

(d) Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(1) Request for Issuance. Palco must notify the Agent of a requested Letter of
Credit at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date.
Such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify the original face amount of
the Letter of Credit requested, the Business Day of issuance of such requested
Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in
partial draws, the Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to
expire, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the
beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. Palco shall attach to such notice
the proposed form of the Letter of Credit.

(2) Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance. As of the Business Day immediately
preceding the requested issuance date of the Letter of Credit, the Agent shall
determine the amount of the applicable Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and
Availability. If (i) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is less
than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the amount of such
requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the
Borrowers in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed Availability,
the Agent shall cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the requested Letter
of Credit on the requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof
are met.

(3) No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall not be obligated to cause the
Letter of Credit Issuer to extend or amend any Letter of Credit issued pursuant
hereto unless the requirements of this Section 1.3 are met as though a new
Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

(e) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. The Borrowers agree to reimburse
immediately the Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit
and the Agent for the account of the Lenders upon any payment pursuant to any
Credit Support, and to pay the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other
charges and fees payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any
Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff,
defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against the
Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person. Each drawing under any Letter of
Credit shall constitute a request by Palco, on behalf of the applicable Borrower
for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued to the Agent for a Borrowing
of a Base Rate Revolving Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date
with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

(f) Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

(1) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in
this Section 1.3, the Borrowers, jointly and severally agree to protect,
indemnify, pay and save the Lenders and the Agent harmless from and against any
and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which any Lender or the Agent
(other than a Lender in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) may incur or be
subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter
of Credit or the provision of any Credit Support or enhancement in connection
therewith; provided, that the Borrowers shall have no such indemnity obligation
with respect to any of the foregoing which result solely from the willful
misconduct of the Lenders or the Agent. The Borrowers' obligations under this
Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

(2) Assumption of Risk by the Borrowers. As among the Borrowers, the Lenders,
and the Agent, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, assume all risks of the
acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the
respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be responsible
for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect
of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for
and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of
Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
any 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; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply
duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D)
errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail or otherwise; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms;
(F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required
in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds
thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of
the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (H) any consequences
arising from causes beyond the control of the Lenders or the Agent, including
any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de
jure or de facto Governmental Authority or (I) the Letter of Credit Issuer's
honor of a draw for which the draw or any certificate fails to strictly comply
with the terms of the Letter of Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect,
impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Lender
under this Section 1.3(f).

(3) Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission
whatsoever by Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its capacity as a
Letter of Credit Issuer) shall result in any liability of Agent or any Lender to
any Borrower, or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any
such Person.

(4) Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained in this Agreement
is intended to limit any Borrower's rights, if any, with respect to the Letter
of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of the letter of credit application and
related documents executed by and between such Borrower and the Letter of Credit
Issuer.

(5) Account Party. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Letter of
Credit Issuer to name such Borrower as the "Account Party" therein and to
deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property
received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit, and to
accept and rely upon the Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all
matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application
therefor.

(g) Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 1.3(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of Credit or Credit
Support is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such
termination the Borrowers shall deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Agent and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit or Credit
Support then outstanding, a standby letter of credit (a "Supporting Letter of
Credit") in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, issued by an issuer
satisfactory to the Agent in an amount equal to the greatest amount for which
such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support may be drawn plus any fees and
expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support, under
which Supporting Letter of Credit the Agent is entitled to draw amounts
necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments to be made by the
Agent and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or Credit Support and any fees
and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or Credit Support. Such
Supporting Letter of Credit shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Agent and the Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment
of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit or such Credit
Support remaining outstanding.

1.4 Bank Products. Palco may request and the Agent may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, arrange for Palco or any of Palco's Subsidiaries to obtain from the
Bank or the Bank's Affiliates Bank Products although Palco is not required to do
so. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank, the Borrowers
agree to indemnify and hold the Agent, the Bank and the Lenders harmless from
any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Agent, the
Bank or any of the Lenders which arise from any indemnity given by the Agent to
its Affiliates related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing
contained herein is intended to limit any Borrower's rights, with respect to the
Bank or its Affiliates, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of
documents by and between such Borrower and the Bank which relate to Bank
Products. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive termination of
this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank
Products from the Bank or the Bank's Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Bank or the Bank's Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules
and regulations of the Bank or the Bank's Affiliates.

1.5      Extension of Termination Date.

(a)      At least 135 days prior to the Initial Stated Termination Date, Palco,
         by written notice to the Agent, may request a one-year extension of the
         Initial Stated Termination Date. The Agent shall promptly notify each
         Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole
         discretion, at least 90 days prior to such Initial Stated Termination
         Date, notify Palco and the Agent in writing as to whether such Lender
         will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the
         Agent and Palco in writing of its consent to any such request for
         extension of the Initial Stated Termination Date at least 90 days prior
         to the scheduled occurrence thereof, at such time such Lender shall be
         deemed to be a Declining Lender with respect to such request. The Agent
         shall notify the Borrowers not later than 85 days prior to the Initial
         Stated Termination Date of the decision of the Lenders regarding
         Palco's request for an extension of the Initial Stated Termination
         Date.

(b)      If all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in
         accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 1.5, the Initial Stated
         Termination Date shall be extended for a period of one year, effective
         as at the Initial Stated Termination Date (the "Extension Date");
         provided, that, on such Extension Date, no Event of Default, or event
         that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would
         constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing,
         or shall occur as a consequence thereof. If less than all of the
         Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with
         subsection (a) of this Section 1.5, the Initial Stated Termination Date
         shall be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each an
         "Extending Lender") (provided that no Event of Default, or event that
         with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute
         an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall
         occur as a consequence thereof) but shall not be extended as to any
         other Lender (each a "Declining Lender"). To the extent that the
         Initial Stated Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender
         pursuant to this Section 1.5 and the Commitment of such Lender is not
         assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 1.5 on or
         prior to the Extension Date, the Commitment of such Declining Lender
         shall automatically terminate in whole on the Initial Stated
         Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the
         Borrowers, such Lender or any other Person; provided, that, such
         Declining Lender's rights under Sections 4.1, 4.3, 13.7 and 13.11, and
         its obligations under Section 12.7, shall survive the Stated
         Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such
         date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any
         obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by Palco for any
         requested extension of the Initial Stated Termination Date.

(c)      If there are any Declining Lenders, the Borrowers may arrange for one
         or more Extending Lenders or other Eligible Assignees (each such
         Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to assume a Declining Lender's
         Commitment being an "Assuming Lender") to assume, effective as of the
         Initial Stated Termination Date, any Declining Lender's Commitment and
         all of the obligations of such Declining Lender under this Agreement
         thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to,
         such Declining Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the
         Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution
         shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 unless the amount of the
         Commitment of such Declining Lender is less than $5,000,000 in which
         case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and
         provided further that:

         (i)      any such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid
                  to such Declining Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount
                  of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date
                  of the assignment on, the outstanding Loans, if any, of such
                  Declining Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid fees owing to
                  such Declining Lender as of the effective date of such
                  assignment;

         (ii)     all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements
                  and indemnities payable to such Declining Lender, and all
                  other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Declining
                  Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment
                  shall have been paid to such Declining Lender; and

         (iii)    with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable
                  processing and recordation fee required under Section 11.2 for
                  such assignment shall have been paid;

provided further that such Declining Lender's rights under Sections 4.1, 4.3,
137 and 13.11 and its obligations under Section 12.7 shall survive such
substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least
three Business Days prior to the Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender,
if any, shall have delivered to the Borrowers and the Agent an assumption
agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Agent (an
"Assumption Agreement"), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Declining
Lender, each Borrower and the Agent, and (B) any such Extending Lender shall
have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrowers and the
Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment. Upon the payment or
prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, each such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender,
as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Declining Lender under
this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without
any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders and the
obligations of each such Declining Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions
hereof, be released and discharged.

(d)      If all of the Extending and Assuming Lenders (after giving effect to
         any assignments or assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this
         Section 1.5) consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by
         written consent pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 1.5, by
         execution and delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not
         later than one Business Day prior to the Initial Stated Termination
         Date, the Agent shall so notify the Borrowers, and, so long as no Event
         of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time
         or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and
         be continuing as of the Initial Stated Termination Date, or shall occur
         as a consequence thereof, the Initial Stated Termination Date shall be
         extended for a period of one year from the Extension Date as to the
         Extending Lenders and the Assuming Lenders but shall not be extended as
         to any Declining Lender. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders
         (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension
         of the Initial Stated Termination Date and shall thereupon record in
         the Register the relevant information with respect to each such
         Extending Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

1.6      Relationship Between the Borrowers.

(a) Administrative Borrower. Britt hereby appoints Palco, and Palco shall act
under this Agreement, as the agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative of
Britt for all purposes, including requesting Loans and receiving account
statements and other notices and communications to the Borrowers (or any of
them) from the Agent or any Lender. The Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and
the Lenders may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of
Borrowing, Notice of Continuation/Conversion, request for a Letter of Credit,
disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or
communication made or given by Palco, whether in its own name, as Borrowers'
agent, on behalf of Britt or on behalf of the Borrowers, and neither the Agent
nor the Letter of Credit Issuer nor any Lender shall have any obligation to make
any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower
as to the binding effect on it of any such notice, request, instruction, report,
information, other notice or communications, nor shall the joint and several
character of the Borrowers' obligations hereunder be affected, provided that the
provisions of this Section 1.6(a) shall not be construed so as to preclude any
Borrower from taking actions permitted to be taken by a "Borrower" hereunder.

(b) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to
the Loan Documents shall be joint and several. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally guaranties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the
due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations of the other Borrower when
the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment,
declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. ss. 362(a)).

(c) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section
1.6 are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of
a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Obligations. In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each
Borrower agrees that: (i) its obligation under this Section 1.6 with respect to
the obligations of the other Borrower is a guaranty of payment when due and not
of collectibility; (ii) the Agent and any Lender may enforce this obligation
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder notwithstanding the
existence of any dispute between the other Borrower and the Agent or any Lender
with respect to the existence of such Event of Default; (iii) the obligations of
each Borrower hereunder are independent of each of the obligations of the other
Borrower under the Loan Documents and the obligations of any other Person and a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower
whether or not any action is brought against the other Borrower or any other
Person and whether or not the other Borrower or any other Person is joined in
any such action or actions; and (iv) a payment of a portion, but not all, of the
Obligations by any Borrower shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the
liability of such or any other Borrower for any portion of the Obligations that
has not been paid. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation under this Section
1.6 with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower is a continuing
guaranty and shall be binding upon each Borrower and its successors and assigns,
and each Borrower irrevocably waives any right to revoke its obligations under
this Section 1.6 as to future transactions giving rise to any Obligations.

(d) Actions by the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent and any Lender may from time
to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or
enforceability of this Section 1.6 or giving rise to any limitation, impairment
or discharge of any Borrower's liability hereunder, but subject to the
provisions of Section 11.1 (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the
time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Obligations of the other Borrower
with the consent of such other Borrower, (ii) settle, compromise, release or
discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or
substitutions for, the Obligations of the other Borrower or any agreement
relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of
any other obligations, (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the
Obligations of the other Borrower and take and hold security for the payment of
such Obligations, (iv) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify,
with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Obligations of
the other Borrower, any other guaranties of such Obligations, or any other
obligation of any Person with respect to such Obligations, (v) enforce and apply
any security now or hereafter held from the other Borrower by or for the benefit
of the Agent or any Lender in respect of the Obligations of the other Borrower
and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or
remedy that the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, may have against any such
security, in each case as the Agent or the Lenders in their discretion may
determine consistent with this Agreement and any applicable security agreement,
including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially
reasonable and (vi) exercise any other rights available to the Agent or the
Lenders, or any of them, under the Loan Documents.

(e) No Discharge. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 1.6 shall
be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment
or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Obligations),
including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Borrower
shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure to assert or
enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by
order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement
of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the
Obligations of the other Borrower or any agreement relating thereto, or with
respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of such
Obligations, (ii) any waiver or modification of, or any consent to departure
from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any
other guaranty or security for the Obligations of the other Borrower, (iii) the
Obligations of the other Borrower, or any agreement relating thereto, at any
time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (iv)
the application of payments received from any source to the payment of
indebtedness other than the Obligations of the other Borrower, even though the
Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, might have elected to apply such payment
to any part or all of the Obligations of the other Borrower, (v) any failure to
perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which
secures any of the Obligations of the other Borrower, (vi) any defenses,
set-offs or counterclaims which the other Borrower or any other Person may
assert against the Agent or any Lender in respect of the Obligations, including
but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment,
statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury and
(vii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing,
which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Borrower
as an obligor in respect of the Obligations.

(f) Waivers. Each Borrower waives, for the benefit of the Agent and each Lender:
(i) any right to require the Agent or any Lender, as a condition of payment or
performance by such Borrower, to (A) proceed against the other Borrower or any
other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the other
Borrower or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance
of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agent or any Lender in
favor of the other Borrower or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy
in the power of the Agent or any Lender; (ii) any defense arising by reason of
the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the
other Borrower including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of
validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of
the other Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations;
(iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects
more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon the
Agent's or any Lender's errors or omissions in the administration of the
Obligations, except behavior that amounts to gross negligence or willful
misconduct; (v) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise,
that are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Section 1.6 and any
legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower's obligations hereunder, (B) the
benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower's liability
hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and
counterclaims and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Agent
or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property
subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including
acceptance of this Section 1.6, notices of default under this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or
modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any
extension of credit to the other Borrower and notices of any of the matters
referred to in Sections 1.6(d) and (e) and any right to consent to any thereof;
and (vii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that
may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate
guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Section
1.6.

                  As used in this paragraph, any reference to "the principal"
includes each Borrower and any reference to "the creditor" includes the Agent
and each of the Lenders. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil
Code each Borrower waives any and all rights and defenses available to it by
reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California
Civil Code, including any and all rights or defenses such Borrower may have
because the Obligations are secured by real property or by reason of protection
afforded to the principal with respect to any of the Obligations, or to any
other guarantor of any of the Obligations with respect to any of such
guarantor's obligations under its guaranty, in either case pursuant to the
antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging
the principal's indebtedness or such guarantor's obligations, including Section
580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Consequently,
among other things: (1) the creditor may collect from such Borrower without
first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the
principal; and (2) if the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral
pledged by the principal: (x) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only
by the price for which the collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if
the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (y) the creditor may
collect from such Borrower even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real
property collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect
from the principal. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any
rights and defenses such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured
by real property. Each Borrower also waives all rights and defenses arising out
of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an
Obligation, has destroyed such Borrower's rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the Code
of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and even though that election of remedies by
the creditor, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an
obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, has destroyed such
Borrower's rights of contribution against such other Borrower or any other
guarantor. No other provision of this Section 1.6 shall be construed as limiting
the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph.

(g) Borrowers' Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other
Obligations. Each Borrower waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or
indirect, that such Borrower now has or may hereafter have against the other
Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Section 1.6 or the
performance by such Borrower of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether
such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute
(including under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common
law or otherwise and including (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or
indemnification that such Borrower now has or may hereafter have against the
other Borrower, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim,
right or remedy that the Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have
against the other Borrower and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by the Agent or
any Lender. In addition, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, the
Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired
or been cancelled, each Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of
contribution such Borrower may have against the other Borrower. Each Borrower
further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the
exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and
contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement
or indemnification such Borrower may have against the other Borrower or against
any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Borrower may
have against such other Borrower, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights
the Agent or any Lender may have against such Borrower to all right, title and
interest the Agent or any Lender may have in any such collateral or security,
and to any right the Agent or any Lender may have against such other Borrower.

                  Any indebtedness of the other Borrower now or hereafter held
by any Borrower is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, and any
such indebtedness of the other Borrower to such Borrower collected or received
by such Borrower after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and
any amount paid to a Borrower on account of any subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution rights referred to in the preceding paragraph
when all Obligations have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for the
Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders to be credited and applied against the Obligations.

(h) Fraudulent Transfer Laws. Anything contained in this Section 1.6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Borrower under this Section
1.6 shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount
that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United
States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively,
the "Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), in each case after giving effect to all other
liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under
the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities
of such Borrower (i) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the other
Borrower or other affiliates of the other Borrower to the extent that such
indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such
Borrower hereunder and (ii) under any guaranty which contains a limitation as to
maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 1.6(h), pursuant to
which the liability of such Borrower hereunder is included in the liabilities
taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect
as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the
Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to applicable law or
pursuant to the terms of any agreement.

(i) Related Guaranties. Each Borrower under this Section 1.6 and any other
guaranties, if any, relating to the Credit Agreement (the "Related Guaranties")
that contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section
1.6, together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the
"Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations
arising under this Section 1.6 and the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the
event any payment or distribution is made on any date by any Borrower under this
Section 1.6 or a guarantor under a Related Guaranty, each such Borrower or such
guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other
Contributing Guarantors in the maximum amount permitted by law so as to maximize
the aggregate amount of the Obligations paid to the Agent and the Lenders.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                INTEREST AND FEES

2.1      Interest.

(a)      Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall bear interest on the
         unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by
         law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until
         paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate
         or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margins as set forth below, but
         not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Loans are outstanding
         with respect to which Palco has not delivered to the Agent a notice
         specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable
         thereto in accordance herewith, those Loans shall bear interest at a
         rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until notice to the
         contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement
         and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided
         herein, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest as follows:

         (i)      For all Base Rate Loans and other Obligations (other than
                  LIBOR Rate Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the
                  Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

         (ii)     For all LIBOR Rate Loans at a per annum rate equal to the
                  LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed
(which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365 day year). The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders, interest accrued on all Base Rate Loans in arrears on the first day of
each month hereafter and on the Termination Date. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest on all LIBOR Rate Loans in
arrears on each LIBOR Interest Payment Date.

(b)      Default Rate. If any Default or Event of Default occurs and is
         continuing and the Agent or the Required Lenders in their discretion so
         elect, then, while any such Default or Event of Default is continuing,
         all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate
         applicable thereto.

2.2      Continuation and Conversion Elections.

(a)      Palco may:

         (i)      elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans
                  to convert any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an
                  amount not less than $750,000, or that is in an integral
                  multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Rate Loans;
                  or

         (ii)     elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period,
                  to continue any LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest Periods
                  expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not
                  less than $750,000, or that is in an integral multiple of
                  $250,000 in excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Rate Loans in
respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of
part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans; provided further that if the notice
shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall be one month.

(b)      Palco shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion ("Notice of
         Continuation/Conversion") to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon
         (Pacific Standard time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of
         the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into
         or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans and specifying:

         (i)      the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;

         (ii)     the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed;

         (iii)    the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or
                  continuation; and

         (iv)     the duration of the requested Interest Period, provided,
                  however, Palco may not select an Interest Period that ends
                  after the Stated Termination Date.

(c)      If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Rate
         Loans, Palco has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be
         applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans or if any Default or Event of Default
         then exists, Palco shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
         LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration
         date of such Interest Period.

(d)      The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice
         of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be
         made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts
         of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each
         Lender.

(e)      Unless the Agent agrees otherwise, there may not be more than five
         different LIBOR Rate Loans in effect hereunder at any time.

2.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for
hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender under
applicable law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for
hereunder (the "Maximum Rate"). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such
limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for
that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest
rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate
shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid
hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same
had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in
full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the
terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would,
but for this Section 2.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate
otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for
the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of
(i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate
had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would
have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all
times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued
under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the
Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in
excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of,
and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than
interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations
outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the applicable
Borrower such excess.

2.4 Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the Agent on the Closing Date all of the
fees set forth in the Fee Letter dated January 23, 2004, between the Agent and
the Borrowers.

2.5 Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month and on the Termination Date
the Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the
"Unused Line Fee") equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum times the
amount by which the Maximum Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the average
daily outstanding amount of Revolving Loans and the average daily undrawn face
amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, during the immediately preceding month
or shorter period if calculated for the first month hereafter or on the
Termination Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All principal payments
received by the Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the Loan Account
immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee
pursuant to this Section 2.5.

2.6 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the
account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for
each Letter of Credit, a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") equal to the
Applicable Margin in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans in effect from time to time and
to Agent for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer a fronting fee (the
"Fronting Fee") of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the undrawn
face amount of each Letter of Credit, and to the Letter of Credit Issuer, all
out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer
in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment
to any Letter of Credit, which costs, fees and expenses shall include a
"fronting fee" payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Letter of Credit Fee
and the Fronting Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of
each month following any month in which a Letter of Credit is outstanding and on
the Termination Date. The Letter of Credit Fee and the Fronting Fee shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                            PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

3.1 Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal balance
of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the
Termination Date. The Borrowers may prepay Revolving Loans at any time, and
reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement provided, that at no time during
the twelve-month period following the Initial Funding Date shall the Borrowers
make any prepayment (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence
or as part of a termination of the Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2)
that would have the effect of reducing the sum of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Revolving Loans and undrawn amount of all Letters of
Credit then outstanding to less than $12,000,000. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, upon demand the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent,
for account of the Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the
Aggregate Revolver Outstandings exceeds the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the
Maximum Revolver Amount.

3.2 Termination of Facility. The Borrowers may terminate this Agreement upon at
least ten (10) Business Days' notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon (a) the
payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with accrued
interest thereon, and the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, (b) the payment of the early termination fee set forth below, (c) the
payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, and
(d) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans prepaid, payment of the amounts due
under Section 4.4, if any. If this Agreement is terminated at any time prior to
the Stated Termination Date, whether pursuant to this Section or pursuant to
Section 9.2, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, an early termination fee determined in accordance with the following
table:

                      PERIOD DURING WHICH
                       EARLY TERMINATION                                          EARLY TERMINATION
                          OCCURS                                                        FEE

         On or prior to the first Anniversary Date                1% of the Revolving Credit Facility
         After the first Anniversary Date but on or               0.50% of the Revolving Credit Facility
         prior to the second Anniversary Date
         After the second Anniversary Date but prior              0.25% of the Revolving Credit Facility
         to the Stated Termination Date

                  provided, that in the event that early termination occurs as a
result of any refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility by Bank of America,
N.A. or any of its Affiliates, such early termination fee shall not be payable.

3.3  LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayments. In connection with any prepayment, if any LIBOR
Rate Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders the amounts described
in Section 4.4.

3.4      Payments by the Borrowers.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without set-off,
recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the
Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in Dollars and
in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Pacific Standard time)
on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time
shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been
received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall
continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest Period",
whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may
be.

3.5 Payments as Revolving Loans. At the election of Agent, all payments of
principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of
Credit and Credit Support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums, reimbursable
expenses and other sums due and payable hereunder, may be paid from the proceeds
of Revolving Loans made hereunder. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize
the Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying all amounts from
time to time due hereunder and agrees that all such amounts charged shall
constitute Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances).

3.6 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest
payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid
principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each
Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably
among the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to Agent and the Letter of
Credit Issuer and except as provided in Section 11.1(b). All payments shall be
remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or
interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and
all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by the Agent, shall be
applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any
fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements including any amounts relating to
Bank Products then due to the Agent from any Borrower; second, to pay any fees
or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from any Borrower; third, to
pay interest due in respect of all Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than
Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit; sixth, to pay an amount to Agent equal to all
outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be held as cash collateral for such
Obligations; and seventh, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the
Agent or any Lender by any Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by Palco, or unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall
apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Rate Loan, except (a) on the
expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Rate Loan,
or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base
Rate Loans and, in any event, the Borrowers shall pay LIBOR breakage losses in
accordance with Section 4.4. The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing
and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds
and payments to any portion of the Obligations then due and payable.

3.7 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is
applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent, any
Lender, the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank is for any reason compelled to
surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or
application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside,
determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a
diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this
Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received by the Agent or such Lender and the Borrowers shall be liable to
pay to the Agent and the Lenders, and hereby do indemnify the Agent and the
Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for the amount of such
payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be and
remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken
by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of
proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to
the Agent's and the Lenders' rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to
have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become
final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

3.8 Agent's and Lenders' Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The Agent shall
record the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender, the undrawn face
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of unpaid
reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit from
time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount
of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender's Loans in its books
and records. Failure by Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not
affect the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to the Loans or the Letters
of Credit. The Borrowers agree that the Agent's and each Lender's books and
records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding
arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof,
irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or
other instrument. The Agent will provide to Palco a monthly statement of Loans,
payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement
shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrowers and an account
stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in
Section 3.6 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless Palco
notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such
statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is
given by Palco, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be
considered to be disputed by the Borrowers.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.1      Taxes.

(a)      Any and all payments by any Borrower to each Lender or the Agent under
         this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear
         of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition,
         the Borrowers shall pay all Other Taxes.

(b)      The Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the
         Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes
         or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
         this Section) paid by any Lender or the Agent and any liability
         (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising
         therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
         Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental
         Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30
         days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand
         therefor.

(c)      If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any
         Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to
         any Lender or the Agent, then:

         (i)      the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
                  making all required deductions and withholdings (including
                  deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
                  payable under this Section) such Lender or the Agent, as the
                  case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
                  received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

         (ii)     such Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;

         (iii)    such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld
                  to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
                  accordance with applicable law; and

         (iv)     such Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for
                  the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, all
                  additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as
                  necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would
                  have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been
                  imposed.

(d)      At the Agent's request, within 30 days after the date of any payment by
         any Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, such Borrower shall furnish the
         Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
         thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent.

(e)      If any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or
         the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, then such Lender
         shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
         restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to
         eliminate any such additional payment by such Borrower which may
         thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not
         otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f)      If any Lender or the Agent determines, in its sole and reasonable
         discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of Taxes or Other
         Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to
         this Section 4.1, it shall promptly notify Palco of such refund and
         shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by Palco,
         repay such refund (including any interest actually received from the
         taxing authority with respect to such refund) to the Borrowers (but
         only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
         paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 4.1 with respect to the Taxes
         or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable
         out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Agent and other costs
         (including Taxes or Other Taxes) imposed with respect to such refund,
         provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender (or the
         Agent), agree to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other
         charges ) to such Lender or the Agent in the event such Lender or the
         Agent is required to repay such refund. If any Lender is entitled to
         foreign tax credits as a result of payments of Taxes or other Taxes as
         to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this
         Section 4.1, such Lender shall refund the amount of such foreign tax
         credit to the Borrowers, but not in excess of the amount of tax benefit
         actually realized by such Lender as a result of such foreign tax credit
         (and only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
         amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 4.1 with respect to
         the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such credit). Such payment
         shall be net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or
         the Agent and other costs imposed with respect to such credit and shall
         be made in the manner set forth in this subsection (f) as to refunds of
         tax. The agreements and obligations of the Lender and Agent in this
         Section 4.1(f) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations.

(g)      Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to seek refunds of any amounts
         paid or indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.1 that
         are reasonably believed not to have been correctly or legally asserted
         so long as such Lender determines that such efforts shall not otherwise
         be detrimental to such Lender. Neither the provisions of this Section
         4.1(g), nor the provisions of Section 4.1(f) nor any other provisions
         of this Agreement shall be construed to require the Agent or any Lender
         to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
         its taxes which it deems confidential in its sole discretion) to any
         Borrower, or any other Person.

(h)      If any Lender (or any Participant to whom the Lender has sold a
         participation) makes a claim for compensation under Section 4.1 or 4.3
         (a "Claiming Lender"), the Borrowers may, upon notice from Palco to
         such Claiming Lender and the Agent, replace such Claiming Lender. If
         the Borrowers exercises their right to replace a Claiming Lender
         pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrowers shall
         arrange for one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees (each a
         "Replacement Lender") to assume such Claiming Lender's Commitment and
         all obligations of such Claiming Lender under this Agreement thereafter
         arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such
         Claiming Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment
         of any such Replacement Lender as a result of such replacement shall in
         no event be less than $5,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of
         such Claiming Lender is less than $5,000,000, in which case such
         Replacement Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; provided,
         further, that:

         (i)      any such Replacement Lender shall have paid to such Claiming
                  Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest
                  accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on,
                  the outstanding Loans, if any, of such Claiming Lender plus
                  (B) any accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Claiming Lender
                  as of the effective date of such assignment;

         (ii)     all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements
                  and indemnities payable to such Claiming Lender, and all other
                  accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Claiming Lender
                  hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment, shall
                  have been paid to such Claiming Lender; and

         (iii)    with respect to any such Replacement Lender, the applicable
                  processing and recordation fee required under Section 11.2 for
                  such assignment shall have been paid;

                  provided, further, that such Claiming Lender's rights under
Sections 4.1, 4.3, 13.7 and 13.11, and its obligations under Section 12.7, shall
survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of
substitution. At least three Business Days prior to the effective date of each
applicable assignment pursuant to this Section 4.1, (A) each such Replacement
Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrowers and the Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance, duly executed by such Replacement Lender, such
Claiming Lender, the Borrowers and the Agent, and (B) each such Replacement
Lender that is an existing Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing
satisfactory to Palco and the Agent as to the increase in the amount of its
Commitment. Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, each such Replacement
Lender will be substituted, as of the effective date of the applicable
assignment pursuant to this Section 4.1, for such Claiming Lender under this
Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any
further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the
obligations of each such Claiming Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions
hereof, be released and discharged.

4.2      Illegality.

(a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or
any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration
of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or
other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or
its applicable lending office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof
by that Lender to Palco through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make
LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Agent and
Palco that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan,
the Borrowers shall, upon Palco's receipt of notice of such fact and demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR Rate Loans of
that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts
required under Section 4.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period
thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans
to such day, or immediately, if that Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans. If the Borrowers are required to so prepay any
LIBOR Rate Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrowers shall
borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate
Loan.

4.3      Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender determines that due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by
that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be
any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding
or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrowers shall be liable for, and
shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to
the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts
as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii)
any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender or
any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender with any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity
controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
corporation's or other entity's policies with respect to capital adequacy and
such Lender's desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such
capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or
obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to Palco
through the Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increase.

4.4 Funding Losses. The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender and hold each
Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of any Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of
principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan;

(b) the failure of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after
Palco has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice
of Continuation/Conversion; or

(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of
any LIBOR Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest
Period;

including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its
LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such
funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative
fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing.

4.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any reason
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for
any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or
that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders
of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify Palco and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing.
Upon receipt of such notice, Palco may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If Palco does not revoke such
Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by
Palco, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by Palco, but
such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of
LIBOR Rate Loans.

4.6 Certificates of Agent. If any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation
under this Article 4, Agent shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver
to Palco (with a copy to the affected Lender) a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender, and such
certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of
manifest error.

4.7 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this Article 4
shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                     GENERAL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

                  Each Borrower warrants and represents to the Agent and the
Lenders that except as set forth in the SEC Reports or as hereafter disclosed to
and accepted by the Agent and the Required Lenders in writing:

6.1 Authorization, Validity and Enforceability of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents. Each Borrower has the power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, to
incur the Obligations incurred by it, and to grant to the Agent Liens upon and
security interests in the Collateral owned by it. Such Borrower has taken all
necessary action (including obtaining approval of its stockholders if necessary)

stating that the interest of the Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by
any act or neglect of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of

certificates of insurance and, if requested by the Agent or any Lender,

Agent and the Lenders of any loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral,
whether or not covered by insurance. The Agent is hereby authorized to collect

         (i)      With respect to insurance (other than business interruption
                  insurance) and condemnation proceeds relating to Collateral
                  other than Fixed Assets, after deducting from such proceeds
                  the reasonable expenses, if any, incurred by the Agent in the
                  collection or handling thereof, the Agent shall apply such
                  proceeds, ratably, to the reduction of the Obligations in the
                  order provided for in Section 3.6.

         (ii)     With respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds relating
                  to Collateral consisting of Fixed Assets, the Agent shall
                  permit or require the applicable Borrower to use such
                  proceeds, or any part thereof, to replace, repair, restore or
                  rebuild the relevant Fixed Assets in a diligent and
                  expeditious manner with materials and workmanship of
                  substantially the same quality as existed before the loss,
                  damage or destruction so long as (1) no Default or Event of
                  Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) the applicable
                  Borrower first (i) provides the Agent and the Required Lenders
                  with plans and specifications for any such repair or
                  restoration which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
                  Agent and the Required Lenders and (ii) demonstrates to the
                  reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and the Required Lenders
                  that the funds available to it will be sufficient to complete
                  such project in the manner provided therein. In all other
                  circumstances, the Agent shall apply such insurance and
                  condemnation proceeds, ratably, to the reduction of the
                  Obligations in the order provided for in Section 3.4(b).

its business in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to it,
including those relating to the generation, handling, use, storage, and disposal

Subsidiaries to, take prompt and appropriate action to respond to any
non-compliance with Environmental Laws, which non-compliance would result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and shall regularly report to the Agent on such
response.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower shall submit
to the Agent and the Lenders annually, commencing on the first Anniversary Date,
and on each Anniversary Date thereafter, an update of the status of each

may request copies of technical reports prepared by any Borrower and its
communications with any Governmental Authority to determine whether such
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is proceeding reasonably to correct, cure or
contest in good faith any alleged non-compliance or environmental liability.
Each Borrower shall, at the Agent's or the Required Lenders' request and at such
Borrower's expense, (i) retain an independent environmental engineer acceptable
to the Agent to evaluate the site, including tests if appropriate, where the
non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with Environmental Laws has occurred
and prepare and deliver to the Agent, in sufficient quantity for distribution by
the Agent to the Lenders, a report setting forth the results of such evaluation,
a proposed plan for responding to any environmental problems described therein,
and an estimate of the costs thereof, and (ii) provide to the Agent and the
Lenders a supplemental report of such engineer whenever the scope of the
environmental problems, or the response thereto or the estimated costs thereof,
shall increase in any material respect.

(c) The Agent and its representatives will have the right at any reasonable time
to enter and visit the Real Estate and any other place where any property of any
Borrower is located for the purposes of observing the Real Estate, taking and
removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the
Real Estate. The Agent is under no duty, however, to visit or observe the Real
Estate or to conduct tests, and any such acts by the Agent will be solely for
the purposes of protecting the Agent's Liens and preserving the Agent and the
Lenders' rights under the Loan Documents. No site visit, observation or testing
by the Agent and the Lenders will result in a waiver of any default of any
Borrower or impose any liability on the Agent or the Lenders. In no event will
any site visit, observation or testing by the Agent be a representation that
hazardous substances are or are not present in, on or under the Real Estate, or
that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law. Neither
the Borrowers nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit,
observation or testing by the Agent. The Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of
care to protect any Borrower or any other party against, or to inform any
Borrower or any other party of, any hazardous substances or any other adverse
condition affecting the Real Estate. The Agent may in its discretion disclose to
any Borrower or to any other party if so required by law any report or findings
made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or
testing by the Agent. Each Borrower understands and agrees that the Agent makes
no warranty or representation to such Borrower or any other party regarding the
truth, accuracy or completeness of any such report or findings that may be
disclosed. Each Borrower also understands that depending on the results of any
site visit, observation or testing by the Agent and disclosed to such Borrower,
such Borrower may have a legal obligation to notify one or more environmental
agencies of the results, that such reporting requirements are site-specific, and
are to be evaluated by such Borrower without advice or assistance from the
Agent. In each instance, the Agent will give the applicable Borrower reasonable
notice before entering the Real Estate or any other place the Agent is permitted
to enter under this Section 7.7(c). The Agent will make reasonable efforts to
avoid interfering with the applicable Borrower's use of the Real Estate or any
other property in exercising any rights provided hereunder.

ERISA Affiliates to: (a) maintain each Plan in compliance in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or
state law; (b) cause each Plan which is qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code to maintain such qualification; (c) make all required contributions to any
Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code; (d) not engage in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with
respect to any Plan which could result in a material liability; and (e) not
engage in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of
ERISA.

7.9 Matters Relating to Additional Real Property Collateral. From and after the
Closing Date, in the event that any Borrower acquires any interest in real

as soon as practicable after such Borrower acquires such Additional Mortgaged

of a Default or Event of Default shall be an amount not to exceed ten percent
(10%) of the gross book value of such Additional Mortgaged Property), insuring
fee simple title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, such Additional Mortgaged
Property vested in such Borrower and assuring the Agent that such Additional
Mortgage creates a valid and enforceable first priority mortgage lien on such
Additional Mortgaged Property, subject only to a standard survey exception,
which Additional Mortgage Policy (1) shall include an endorsement for mechanics'
liens, for future advances under this Agreement and for any other matters
reasonably requested by the Agent and (2) shall provide for affirmative

Mortgaged Property is a Flood Hazard Property, such Borrower's written
acknowledgement of receipt of written notification from the Agent (1) that such
Additional Mortgaged Property is a Flood Hazard Property and (2) as to whether

the National Flood Insurance Program, and (c) in the event such Additional
Mortgaged Property is a Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community

                  representation or warranty which relates to a specified prior
                  date and except to the extent the Agent and the Lenders have
                  been notified in writing by Palco that any representation or
                  warranty is not correct and the Required Lenders have
                  explicitly waived in writing compliance with such
                  representation or warranty; and

         (ii)     No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from
                  such extension of credit, which constitutes a Default or an
                  Event of Default; and

         (iii)    No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from
                  such extension of credit, which has had or would have a
                  Material Adverse Effect.

(b)      No such Borrowing shall exceed Availability, provided, however, that
         the foregoing conditions precedent are not conditions to each Lender
         participating in or reimbursing the Bank or the Agent for such Lenders'
         Pro Rata Share of any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance made in
         accordance with the provisions of Sections 1.2(h) and (i).

9.2      Remedies.

(a) If a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Agent may, in its
discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, do one or more
of the following at any time or times and in any order, without notice to or
demand on the Borrowers: (i) reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount, or the advance
rates against Eligible Accounts and/or Eligible Inventory used in computing the
Borrowing Base, or reduce one or more of the other elements used in computing
the Borrowing Base; (ii) restrict the amount of or refuse to make Revolving
Loans; and (iii) restrict or refuse to provide Letters of Credit or Credit
Support. If an Event of Default exists, the Agent shall, at the direction of the
Required Lenders, do one or more of the following, in addition to the actions
described in the preceding sentence, at any time or times and in any order,
without notice to or demand on the Borrowers: (A) terminate the Commitments and
this Agreement; (B) declare any or all Obligations to be immediately due and
payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Sections 9.1(e), 9.1(f), 9.1(g), or 9.1(h), the Commitments shall
automatically and immediately expire and all Obligations shall automatically
become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind; (C)
require the Borrowers to cash collateralize all outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations; and (D) pursue its other rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents and applicable law.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) the Agent shall
have for the benefit of the Lenders, in addition to all other rights of the
Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Loan
Documents and the UCC; (ii) the Agent may, at any time, take possession of the
Collateral and keep it on any Borrower's premises, at no cost to the Agent or
any Lender, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent
may desire, or the applicable Borrower shall, upon the Agent's demand, at such
Borrower's cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a
place reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (iii) the Agent may sell and
deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or
otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent deems advisable, in
its sole discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or
adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of
sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale.
Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, each
Borrower agrees that any notice by the Agent of sale, disposition or other
intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC
or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to such Borrower if such notice
is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least five (5) Business
Days prior to such action to such Borrower's address specified in or pursuant to
Section 13.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at
the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until and
except to the extent the Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer
defaults in payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice
to the Borrowers. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any
portion of the Collateral by judicial process, each Borrower irrevocably waives:
(A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might
otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement
of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that
the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial
or final judgment. Each Borrower agrees that the Agent has no obligation to
preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of
any Person. The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without
charge, each Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, in
completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and each
Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
the Agent's benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied
first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees, and then to the
Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrowers and the Borrowers
shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs, each Borrower hereby waives all rights to
notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agent's rights to
repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy
upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                              TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the Stated
Termination Date (subject to any extension pursuant to Section 1.5) unless
sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agent upon direction
from the Required Lenders may terminate this Agreement without notice upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the effective date of termination of
this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all Obligations (including all unpaid
principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any early termination or prepayment
fees or penalties) shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrowers
shall immediately arrange for the cancellation and return of Letters of Credit
then outstanding. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all
Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash, each Borrower
shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of
any of its Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and the Agent
and the Lenders shall retain all their rights and remedies hereunder (including
the Agent's Liens in and all rights and remedies with respect to all then
existing and after-arising Collateral).

          AMENDMENTS; WAIVERs; PARTICIPATIONS; ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS

11.1     Amendments and Waivers.

(a)      No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
         Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by the
         Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in
         writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the
         written request of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers and then any
         such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
         and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that
         no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and
         signed by all the Lenders and the Borrowers and acknowledged by the
         Agent, do any of the following:

         (i)      increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender;

         (ii)     postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any
                  other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest,
                  fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them)
                  hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

         (iii)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified
                  herein on any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable
                  hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

         (iv)     change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate
                  unpaid principal amount of the Loans which is required for the
                  Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder;

         (v)      increase any of the percentages set forth in the definition of
                  the Borrowing Base;

         (vi)     amend this Section or any provision of this Agreement
                  providing for consent or other action by all Lenders;

         (vii)    release Collateral other than as permitted by Section 12.11;

         (viii)   change the definitions of "Majority Lenders" or "Required
                  Lenders"; or

         (ix)     increase the Maximum Revolver Amount and Letter of Credit
                  Subfacility;

provided, however, the Agent may, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding the
limitations contained in clauses (v) and (ix) above and any other terms of this
Agreement, make Agent Advances in accordance with Section 1.2(i) and, provided
further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and provided further, that Schedule 1.2
hereto (Commitments) may be amended from time to time by Agent alone to reflect
assignments of Commitments in accordance herewith.

(b)      If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration for amendments,
         waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement, at Agent's
         election, such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to
         such amendments, waivers or consents within the time specified for
         submission thereof.

(c)      If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a
         "Proposed Change"):

         (i)      requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required
                  Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not
                  obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as
                  described in this clause (i) and in clause (ii) below being
                  referred to as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), or

         (ii)     requiring the consent of Required Lenders, the consent of
                  Majority Lenders is obtained,

then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Palco's request,
the Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation)
with the Agent's approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the
Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all the Non-Consenting
Lenders' Commitments for an amount equal to the principal balances thereof and
all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale
pursuant to Assignment and Acceptance Agreement(s), without premium or discount.

11.2     Assignments; Participations.

(a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible
Assignees (provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required in connection
with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender)
(each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the
Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a
minimum amount of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has
assigned and delegated all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment
and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such
assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000;
provided, however, that the Borrowers and the Agent may continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an
Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment
instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee,
shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender and the
Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the
Borrowers and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F
("Assignment and Acceptance") together with any note or notes subject to such
assignment and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a
processing fee in the amount of $3,500. Each Borrower agrees to promptly execute
and deliver new promissory notes and replacement promissory notes as reasonably
requested by the Agent to evidence assignments of the Loans and Commitments in
accordance herewith.

(b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it
has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the
above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not
limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit and Credit
Support have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and
(ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning
Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each
other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in
such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or
the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by the Borrowers to
the Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the
financial condition of the Borrowers or the performance or observance by the
Borrowers of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and
incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender.

(d) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.2(a), this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment
of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee
shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial
institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of any Borrower (a "Participant")
participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the
other interests of that Lender (the "originating Lender") hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no
Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver
with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters
set forth in Section 11.1(a) (i), (ii) and (iii), and all amounts payable by the
Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due
and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this
Agreement.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 4.1 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with Palco's prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1 unless Palco is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees to comply
with Section 12.10 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights
under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR
ss.203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security
interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                    THE AGENT

12.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints
Bank as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each
Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to
exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on
the express conditions contained in this Article 12. The provisions of this
Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and the
Borrowers shall have no rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the
provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth
herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with
reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising
or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining
from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the
determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the
calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to
Section 1.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9.2, and
any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party
to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or
to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any of such
Borrower's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

12.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, or telephone message, statement or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required
Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the
Lenders.

12.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent
shall have received written notice from a Lender or Palco referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." The Agent will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in
accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent
has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

12.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related
Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the
Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers
and their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to
the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Borrowers and their Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into
this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary
to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Borrowers which may come into the possession of any of
the Agent-Related Persons.

12.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons
(to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in accordance with their Pro
Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term
is defined in Section 13.11; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf
of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of
all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

12.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans
to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire
equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not the Agent hereunder and
without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Bank or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrowers, their Affiliates and Account
Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of any Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that
the Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information
to them. With respect to its Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include the
Bank in its individual capacity.

12.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon at least 30 days' prior
notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon
the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Agent. In the event
the Bank sells all of its Commitment and Revolving Loans as part of a sale,
transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan
portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall
become the successor Agent hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if the Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed
prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may
appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor agent
from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers
and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor
agent and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be
terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.

12.10    Withholding Tax.

(a) If any Lender is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") and such Foreign Lender claims
exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or
1442 of the Code, such Foreign Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to
deliver to the Agent:

         (i)      if such Foreign Lender claims an exemption from, or a
                  reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of America
                  tax treaty, properly completed IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-8ECI
                  before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year
                  and before the payment of any interest in each third
                  succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid
                  under this Agreement;

         (ii)     if such Foreign Lender claims that interest paid under this
                  Agreement is exempt from United States of America withholding
                  tax because it is effectively connected with a United States
                  of America trade or business of such Foreign Lender, two
                  properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI
                  before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable
                  year of such Foreign Lender and in each succeeding taxable
                  year of such Foreign Lender during which interest may be paid
                  under this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9; and

         (iii)    such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or
                  other laws of the United States of America as a condition to
                  exemption from, or reduction of, United States of America
                  withholding tax.

Such Foreign Lender agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction.

(b) If any Foreign Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax under a United States of America tax treaty by providing IRS Form FW-8BEN
and such Foreign Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise
transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Foreign Lender, such
Foreign Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it
is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Borrowers to such
Foreign Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat
such Foreign Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

(c) If any Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United States of America
withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI with the Agent sells, assigns, grants
a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing
to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for
complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and
1442 of the Code.

(d) Borrowers shall not be required to pay an additional amount to any Foreign
Lender under Section 4.1 either (A) with respect to and only to the extent of
any deduction or withholding required pursuant to Section 4.1(c) that is
applicable as of the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the
signature pages hereof) or the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), in respect
of payments to such Lender, or (B) to the extent the obligation to pay such
additional amounts would not have arisen but for such Lender's failure to comply
with the foregoing provisions for the submission of documentation set forth in
Sections 12.10(a), (b) and (c) provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied
the requirement of Sections 12.10(a), (b) and (c) on the date such Lender became
a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under
any of the Loan Documents, nothing in Sections 12.10(a), (b) and (c) shall
relieve Borrowers of their obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 4.1
in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly
entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date
establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which
such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not
subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(e) If any Foreign Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such
Foreign Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after
taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required
by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Foreign Lender not providing such
forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding
tax.

(f) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of
America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such
Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered
the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any
other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid,
directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection
shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement
of the Agent.

12.11    Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its
sole discretion, to release any Agent's Liens upon any Collateral (i) upon the
termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers
of all Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and
Credit Support, and the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit
(whether or not any of such obligations are due) and all other Obligations; (ii)
constituting property being sold or disposed of if the applicable Borrower
certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with
Section 7.9 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate,
without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which the applicable
Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time
thereafter; or (iv) constituting property leased to any Borrower under a lease
which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this
Agreement. Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the
Agent's Liens without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided
that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agent's Liens on Collateral
valued in the aggregate not in excess of $500,000 during each Fiscal Year
without the prior written authorization of the Lenders and the Agent may release
the Agent's Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of
$1,000,000 during each Fiscal Year with the prior written authorization of
Required Lenders. Upon request by the Agent or Palco at any time, the Lenders
will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release any Agent's Liens upon
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.11.

(b) Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section
12.11(a) from the Lenders of the Agent's authority to release Agent's Liens upon
particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business
Days prior written request by Palco, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably
authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to
evidence the release of the Agent's Liens upon such Collateral; provided,
however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document
on terms which, in the Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or
create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such
Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any
manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than
those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the applicable Borrower
in respect of) all interests retained by the applicable Borrower, including the
proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral.

(c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to
assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the applicable Borrower or is
cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent's
Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise
at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or
fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it
being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act,
omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem
appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agent's own interest in the
Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have
no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

12.12    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of
all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so,
upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts
owing by such Lender to the Borrowers or any accounts of the Borrowers now or
hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that
it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause
to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the
Borrowers, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to
foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the
Collateral.

(b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment,
foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments
with respect to the Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender arising under,
or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such
proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such
Lender's ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender
shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such
endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same
day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for
application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of
this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that
such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of
such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered
from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in
part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid
therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except
to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in
connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

12.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as
agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders' security interest in assets
which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by
possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any
such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon
the Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in
accordance with the Agent's instructions.

12.14 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the
Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately
available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered
in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender is an
Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such
other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by
written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent
shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents
principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans or otherwise. Unless the
Agent receives notice from Palco prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Lenders that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when
required, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full
to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but
shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each
Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If
and to the extent the Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the Agent,
each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such
Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

12.15    Settlement.

(a) (i) Each Lender's funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the
Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, the
Bank, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit
of or enforceable by the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among
them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances
shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following
provisions:

(ii) The Agent shall request settlement ("Settlement") with the Lenders on at
least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis at Agent's election, (A) on
behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for
itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections
received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by
telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested
Settlement, no later than 12:00 noon (Pacific Standard time) on the date of such
requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Each Lender (other than the Bank,
in the case of Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent in the case of Agent Advances)
shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to
each Settlement to the Agent, to Agent's account, not later than 2:00 p.m.
(Pacific Standard time), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto. Settlements
may occur during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and
whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have
then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied
against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and,
together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing
the Bank's Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such
Lenders. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the
Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal
Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date and
thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans (A) on
behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B)
for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after
demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default
or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Agent has requested a
Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other
Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the
Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance equal to
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and (B)
if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Non-Ratable Loans
or Agent Advances, upon demand by Bank or Agent, as applicable, shall pay to
Bank or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an
amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made
available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover
such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and
thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(iv) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided
interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to
clause (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all
proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan
or Agent Advance.

(v) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are
outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments received by the Agent, which
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction
of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Bank's Revolving Loans including
Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the
then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Bank's
Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such
Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to clause
(iii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, the Bank shall pay to
the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding
Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon
receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of
the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with
respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each
Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and
Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates
payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds
employed by the Bank, the Agent and the other Lenders.

(vi) Unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary,
the Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article 8 have been satisfied and the requested Borrowing will not exceed
Availability on any Funding Date for a Revolving Loan or Non-Ratable Loan.

(b) Lenders' Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable
Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall
be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to
make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be
increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform
its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any
Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall
excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans
hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several,
not joint and several.

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or
prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing
Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such
Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent that
Lender's Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender
has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on
the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If any
Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share to the Agent in immediately
available funds and the Agent has transferred corresponding amount to the
Borrowers on the Business Day following such Funding Date that Lender shall make
such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds
Rate for that day. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to
amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If each Lender's full
Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as required, the amount transferred
to the Agent shall constitute that Lender's Revolving Loan for all purposes of
this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to the Agent on the Business
Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify Palco of such failure to
fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the
Agent for the Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day
elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the
Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising that
particular Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on
any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being
hereinafter referred to as a "Defaulting Lender") shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on that Funding
Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to advance
such other Lenders' Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing.

(d) Retention of Defaulting Lender's Payments. The Agent shall not be obligated
to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by the Borrowers to the
Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be
entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a
Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Agent. In its
discretion, the Agent may loan the Borrowers the amount of all such payments
received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any
amounts so loaned to the Borrowers shall bear interest at the rate applicable to
Base Rate Revolving Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be
treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes of
voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and
determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a
"Lender". Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share
of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion
of the Unused Line Fee and (B) the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the
Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested
Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based
upon their relative Commitments. This Section shall remain effective with
respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer
be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this
Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of
any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties
and obligations hereunder.

(e) Removal of Defaulting Lender. At Palco's request, the Agent or an Eligible
Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrowers shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and each
Defaulting Lender shall, upon such request, sell and assign to the Agent or such
Eligible Assignee, all of the Defaulting Lender's outstanding Commitments
hereunder. Such sale shall be consummated promptly after Agent has arranged for
a purchase by Agent or an Eligible Assignee pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance, and at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the
Defaulting Lender's Loans, plus accrued interest and fees, without premium or
discount.

12.16    Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues.

(a) Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the Agent shall
notify each Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit since the prior
Settlement Date.

(b) Participations in Letters of Credit.

(i) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of
Credit in accordance with Section 1.4(d), each Lender shall be deemed to have
irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit or the Credit Support
provided through the Agent to the Letter of Credit Issuer, if not the Bank, in
connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations
of the Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty
pertaining thereto).

(ii) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the Agent receives a
payment from the Borrowers on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of
a Letter of Credit or Credit Support as to which the Agent has previously
received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a
Lender, the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of such payment from the Borrowers. Each such payment shall be made by the Agent
on the next Settlement Date.

(iii) Documentation. Upon the request of any Lender, the Agent shall furnish to
such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, Credit Support for any Letter of
Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, applications
for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be
requested by such Lender.

(iv) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Lender to make payments to
the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or with respect to their
participation therein or with respect to any Credit Support for any Letter of
Credit or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as a result of a drawing
under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower for whose account
the Letter of Credit or Credit Support was issued to make payments to the Agent,
for the account of the Lenders, shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to
any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following
circumstances:

(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents;

(2) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the
applicable Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter
of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any
such transferee may be acting), any Lender, the Agent, the issuer of such Letter
of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any
Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transactions between the applicable
Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

(3) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(4) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or
observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(5) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(6) the failure of the applicable Borrower to satisfy the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article 8.

(c) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments In Error. In the event
any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers received by the Agent with respect
to any Letter of Credit or Credit Support provided for any Letter of Credit and
distributed by the Agent to the Lenders on account of their respective
participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the
Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding,
the Lenders shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent their respective
Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with
interest at the rate required to be paid by the Agent upon the amount required
to be repaid by it. Unless the Agent receives notice from Palco prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrowers will not make
such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the
Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the
Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall
repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(d) Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers
and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, the Lenders
agree to indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer ratably in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
attorneys' fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Letter of Credit Issuer in any
way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions
contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit
Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata
Share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrowers to the Letter of Credit
Issuer, to the extent that the Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly
reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. The agreement contained
in this Section shall survive payment in full of all other Obligations.

12.17 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender
authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, for the
ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees
that any action taken by the Agent, Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as
applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and the exercise by the Agent, the Majority Lenders, or the Required
Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein,
together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Revolving
Loans, Agent Advances, Non-Ratable Loans, Hedge Agreements, Bank Products and
all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Debt, secured pari
passu by all of the Collateral.

12.18 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing
this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly
after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report
(each a "Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by or on behalf of the
Agent;

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the Agent (i)
makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii)
shall be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive
audits or examinations, that the Agent or the Bank or other party performing any
audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the
Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Borrowers' books and records, as
well as on representations of the Borrowers' personnel;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use,
and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other
manner; and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision
contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agent and any such other
Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may
take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in
connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying
Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender's
participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a loan or loans of
the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the
Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against,
the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and any such other Lender
preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who
might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

12.19 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and
no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise
set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Agent or any Lender to
exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or
future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among the
Borrowers and the Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by the Agent or any Lender
in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent
or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the
extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any
occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent's and each Lender's rights
thereafter to require strict performance by the Borrowers of any provision of
this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the
Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Agent's and each
Lender's rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have.

13.2 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement or any Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder
shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder.

13.3     Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED AND THE RIGHTS AND
LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL
RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND BY
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND
EACH OF THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND
EACH OF THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO
THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH
JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN
THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR
APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE
OBLIGATIONS AND (2) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS
FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE
HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

(c) EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT
AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL
(RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO SUCH BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN
SECTION 13.8 AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) DAYS
AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS POSTAGE PREPAID.
NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF AGENT OR THE LENDERS TO SERVE
LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, ANY
CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BASED ON OR
ARISING FROM AN ALLEGED TORT, SHALL AT THE REQUEST OF EITHER PARTY HERETO BE
DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. The arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the United States Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code),
notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the
Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The
arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any
claim. Any controversy concerning whether an issue is arbitrable shall be
determined by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the arbitration award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an
action for judicial relief or pursuant to a provisional or ancillary remedy
shall not constitute a waiver of the right of either party, including the
plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party
contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of (d) above, no controversy or claim shall
be submitted to arbitration without the consent of all parties if, at the time
of the proposed submission, such controversy or claim arises from or related to
an obligation to the Lenders which is secured by real estate property collateral
(exclusive of real estate space lease assignments). If all the parties do not
consent to submission of such a controversy or claim to arbitration, the
controversy or claim shall be determined as provided in Section 13.3(f).

(f) At the request of either party a controversy or claim which is not submitted
to arbitration as provided and limited in Section 13.3(d) and (e) shall be
determined by judicial reference. If such an election is made, the parties shall
designate to the court a referee or referees selected under the auspices of the
AAA in the same manner as arbitrators are selected in AAA-sponsored proceedings.
The presiding referee of the panel, or the referee if there is a single referee,
shall be an active attorney or retired judge. Judgment upon the award rendered
by such referee or referees shall be entered in the court in which such
proceeding was commenced.

(g) No provision of Sections (d) through (g) shall limit the right of the Agent
or the Lenders to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure
against or sale of any real or personal property collateral or security, or
obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent
jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either party to
resort to arbitration or reference. At the Agent's option, foreclosure under a
deed of trust or mortgage may be accomplished either by exercise of power of
sale under the deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.

13.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.3(d), THE
BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER
LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR
ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE
AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A
COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER
AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF
THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

13.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties of each Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the
execution, delivery, and acceptance thereof by the parties, notwithstanding any
investigation by the Agent or the Lenders or their respective agents.

13.6 Other Security and Guaranties. The Agent, may, without notice or demand and
without affecting the Borrowers' obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a)
take from any Person and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the
payment of all or any part of the Obligations and exchange, enforce or release
such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any endorsement or
guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Obligations and release or
substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has given any Lien
in any other collateral as security for the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or any part of
the Obligations.

13.7 Fees and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for its
benefit, on demand, all costs and expenses that Agent pays or incurs in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, consummation,
administration, enforcement, and termination of this Agreement or any of the

any action required of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents that the Borrowers
fail to pay or take; (f) costs of appraisals, inspections, and verifications of
the Collateral, including travel, lodging, and meals for inspections of the
Collateral and the Borrowers' operations by the Agent plus the Agent's then
customary charge for field examinations and audits and the preparation of
reports thereof (such charge is currently $850 per day (or portion thereof) for
each Person retained or employed by the Agent with respect to each field
examination or audit); and (g) costs and expenses of forwarding loan proceeds,
collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining
Payment Accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and
protecting the Collateral. In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay costs and
expenses incurred by the Agent (including Attorneys' Costs) to the Agent, for
its benefit, on demand, and to the other Lenders for their benefit, on demand,
and all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by such other
Lenders for one law firm retained by such other Lenders, in each case, paid or
incurred to obtain payment of the Obligations, enforce the Agent's Liens, sell
or otherwise realize upon the Collateral, and otherwise enforce the provisions
of the Loan Documents, or to defend any claims made or threatened against the
Agent or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby
(including preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters). The
foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other provisions of the Loan
Documents regarding costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrowers. All of the
foregoing costs and expenses shall be charged to the Borrowers' Loan Account as
Revolving Loans as described in Section 3.7.

requests that any party is required or elects to give to any other shall be in

13.9 Waiver of Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each
Borrower waives presentment, and notice of demand or dishonor and protest as to
any instrument, notice of intent to accelerate the Obligations and notice of
acceleration of the Obligations, as well as any and all other notices to which
it might otherwise be entitled. No notice to or demand on any Borrower which the
Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle such Borrower to any or
further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

13.10 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective representatives, successors, and assigns
of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no interest herein may be

Obligations or any part thereof.

13.11    Indemnity of the Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers.

(a) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to defend, indemnify and hold
the Agent-Related Persons, and each Lender and each of its respective officers,

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the
Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions
contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or
in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any
investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or
appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not
any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, that the Borrowers shall have no
obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from the willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other
Obligations.

(b) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Agent and the Lenders from any loss or liability directly or
indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage,
release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a hazardous
substance relating to any Borrower's operations, business or property. This
indemnity will apply whether the hazardous substance is on, under or about any
Borrower's property or operations or property leased to such Borrower. The
indemnity includes but is not limited to Attorneys Costs. The indemnity extends
to the Agent and the Lenders, their parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and all of
their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys and assigns.
"Hazardous substances" means any substance, material or waste that is or becomes
designated or regulated as "toxic," "hazardous," "pollutant," or "contaminant"
or a similar designation or regulation under any federal, state or local law
(whether under common law, statute, regulation or otherwise) or judicial or
administrative interpretation of such, including petroleum or natural gas. This
indemnity will survive repayment of all other Obligations.

13.12 Limitation of Liability. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER
OR OTHER PERSON AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, COUNSEL, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT OF
ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR 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
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH, AND THE BORROWERS AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE AND AGREE NOT
TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR
NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

13.13 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended
by the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete, and
exclusive expression of the agreement between them. This Agreement supersedes
any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter
hereof except for that certain letter dated as of January 16, 2004, between the
Borrowers and the Agent. No modification, rescission, waiver, release, or
amendment of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
made, except by a written agreement signed by the Borrowers and a duly
authorized officer of each of the Agent and the requisite Lenders.

13.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by the Agent, each Lender and each Borrower in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages may be detached
from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that
all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

13.15 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to
modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

13.16 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being waived by the
Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any
Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers
against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand
under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and
the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL
EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER'S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT
ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT
THE PRIOR WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.

13.17    Confidentiality.

(a) Each Borrower hereby consents that the Agent and each Lender may issue and
disseminate to the public general information describing the credit
accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and
address of such Borrower and a general description of such Borrower's business
and may use such Borrower's name in advertising and other promotional material.

(b) Each Lender severally agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and
exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information identified
as "confidential" or "secret" by any Borrower and provided to the Agent or such
Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, except to the extent that such information (i) was or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the
Agent or such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than such Borrower, provided that such source is not
bound by a confidentiality agreement with such Borrower known to the Agent or
such Lender; provided, however, that the Agent and any Lender may disclose such
information (1) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any
Governmental Authority to which the Agent or such Lender is subject or in
connection with an examination of the Agent or such Lender by any such
Governmental Authority; (2) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (3)
when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable
Requirement of Law; (4) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any
litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy
proceeding) to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be
party; (5) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of
any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (6) to the Agent's or
such Lender's independent auditors, accountants, attorneys and other
professional advisors; (7) to any prospective Participant or Assignee under any
Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, provided that such prospective
Participant or Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same
extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder; (8) as expressly
permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding
confidentiality to which such Borrower is party or is deemed party with the
Agent or such Lender, and (9) to its Affiliates.

13.18 Conflicts with Other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific reference to the
applicable provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in
this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document, the
provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement on the
