     refer to the then equivalent rating by S&P or Moody's, as the case may be.

                                   ARTICLE II

             AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

          SECTION 2.01. The Advances and Letters of Credit. (a) The Advances.
Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during
the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an amount not
to exceed such Lender's Unused Commitment. Each Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and shall consist of Advances of the same Type made on the same day by
the Lenders ratably according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.
Within the limits of each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.10 and reborrow
under this Section 2.01(a).

          (b) Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth in this Agreement, to issue letters of credit (each, a "Letter
of Credit") for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business
Day during the period from the Effective Date until 30 days before the
Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit
issued by each Issuing Bank not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the
Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) such Issuing Bank's Letter of
Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) for each such Letter of Credit not to
exceed an amount equal to the Unused Commitments of the Lenders at such time. No
Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the
Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than five Business Days
before the Termination Date; provided that no Letter of Credit may expire after
the Termination Date of any Non-Consenting Lender if, after giving effect to
such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Consenting Lenders (including any replacement Lenders) for the period following
such Termination Date would be less than the Available Amount of the Letters of
Credit expiring after such Termination Date. Within the limits referred to
above, the Borrower may from time to time request the issuance of Letters of
Credit under this Section 2.01(b). Each letter of credit listed on Schedule
2.01(b) was issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to
constitute a Letter of Credit issued hereunder, and each Lender that is an
issuer of such a Letter of Credit shall, for purposes of Section 2.03, be deemed
to be an Issuing Bank for each such


                                       12

<PAGE>

letter of credit, provided than any renewal or replacement of any such letter of
credit shall be issued by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The terms "issue", "issued", "issuance" and all similar terms, when
applied to a Letter of Credit, shall include any renewal, extension or amendment
thereof.

          SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than
(x) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date
of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar
Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed
Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the
Borrower to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by
facsimile. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a "Notice of Borrowing") shall be in
writing or by facsimile in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto,
specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of
Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing,
and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances,
initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, in the case of
a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the date of such Borrowing, and in the case of a Borrowing consisting
of Eurodollar Rate Advances, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on date of
such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office
to the Agent at the Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable
portion of such Borrowing. After the Agent's receipt of such funds and upon
fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent
will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent's address referred
to in Section 8.02 or as requested by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing.

          (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if
the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $10,000,000 or if the
obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be
suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12 and (ii) at no time shall there be
more than fifteen different Interest Periods outstanding for Eurodollar Rate
Advances.

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

          (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent
such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such
date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not
have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent within one Business Day after
demand for such Lender and within three Business Days after demand for the
Borrower such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such
amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in
the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to
the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such
Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

          SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters
of Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued
upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M.


                                       13

<PAGE>

(New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable
Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing
Bank shall give the Agent, prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by the
Borrower of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a "Notice of Issuance") shall be by
facsimile or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein the
requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B)
Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of
Credit (which shall not be later than five Business Days before the Termination
Date), (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E)
form of such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to
such application for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the
Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "Letter
of Credit Application"). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is
acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will,
upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make
such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in
Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such
issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of
Credit Application shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall govern. Without limitation of the immediately preceding
sentence, no such Letter of Credit Application may impose any additional
conditions on the issuance of a Letter of Credit nor obligations of the Borrower
to the Issuing Bank, other than as stated in this Agreement.

          (b) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from
such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender's Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit. The
Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender's
Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit funded by such
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason,
which amount will be advanced, and deemed to be an Advance to the Borrower
hereunder, regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
3.02. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation
in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender's
Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.18,
reduced on a date prior to the date that the Termination Date may have been
extended pursuant to Section 2.19, amended pursuant to an assignment in
accordance with Section 8.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

          (c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by an Issuing Bank of a
draft drawn under any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the Borrower
on the date made shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making
by any such Issuing Bank of an Advance regardless of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft,
without regard to whether the making of such an Advance would exceed such
Issuing Bank's Unused Commitment. Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of
each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it to the Borrower and the
Agent. Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to
the Agent and the Borrower, each Lender shall pay to the Agent such Lender's
Ratable Share of such outstanding Advance pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Advances pursuant to
this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance
of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments,
and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent
shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its
Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand
therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is
given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or
(ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand
is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender shall


                                       14

<PAGE>

not have so made the amount of such Advance available to the Agent, such Lender
agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank
until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for
the account of such Issuing Bank. If a Lender shall pay to the Agent any amount
for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so
paid in respect of principal shall constitute an Advance made by such Lender on
such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal
amount of the Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount
on such Business Day.

          (d) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to
the Agent and each Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written
report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month
under all such Letters of Credit and (B) to the Agent and each Lender on the
first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the
average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter
of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

          (e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the
Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such
date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

          SECTION 2.04. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on such Lender's
Unused Commitment from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and
from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of
each other Lender until the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly
on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December
31, 2005, and on the Termination Date.

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for
the account of each Lender a commission on such Lender's Ratable Share of the
average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding
from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time plus the Applicable
Utilization Fee, if any, during such calendar quarter, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2005, and on the Termination
Date; provided that the Applicable Margin shall be 2% above the Applicable
Margin in effect upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default if the Borrower is required to pay default interest pursuant to Section
2.07(b).

          (ii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account,
     a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the Available Amount of each Letter
     of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, payable in arrears quarterly on the
     last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
     first such quarter in which any Letter of Credit is issued, and such other
     commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in
     connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as
     the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree promptly following receipt
     of an invoice therefor.

          (c) Agent's Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own
account such fees as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent pursuant to
the Fee Letter dated November 15, 2005, as amended from time to time.

          SECTION 2.05. Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.
The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to
the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the
Unused Commitments or the Unissued Letter of Credit Commitments of the Lenders,
provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on
the Termination Date applicable to such Lender the aggregate principal amount of
the Advances made by such Lender and then outstanding.

          (b) The obligations of the Borrower hereunder relating to any Letter
of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including,
without limitation, the following circumstances (it being understood that any
such payment by the Borrower is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a
waiver of, any rights the Borrower might have or might acquire as a result of

thereof):

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any

     any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated
     by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

          (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of

     release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
     guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of
     the L/C Related Documents; or

          (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
     similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other
     circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
     discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor;

     provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.06 shall limit the rights
     of the Borrower under Section 8.12.

          SECTION 2.07. Interest on Advances. (a) Scheduled Interest. The
Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing
to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall
be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

          (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base
     Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the
     Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in
     effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Utilization Fee, if any,
     in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day
     of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the
     date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

          (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is
     a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each
     Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of


                                       16

<PAGE>

     (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y)
     the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable
     Utilization Fee, if any, in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on
     the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a
     duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such
     Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest
     Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or
     paid in full.

          (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Agent may, and upon the
request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrower to pay interest
("Default Interest") on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to
each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or
(a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the
rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or
(a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any
interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from
the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full,
payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand,
at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum
required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above,
provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to
Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or
not previously required by the Agent.

          SECTION 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank
agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining
each Eurodollar Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not
furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any
such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of
timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. The Agent shall
give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest
rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii), and the
rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining
the interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii).

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

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

          (d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment
or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such Advances shall
automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

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

          (f) If Moneyline Telerate Markets Page 3750 is unavailable and fewer
than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining
the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,

          (i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that
     the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,


                                       17

<PAGE>

          (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances, each such Advance will
     automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
     therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a
     Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

          (iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances
     or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended
     until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
     circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

          SECTION 2.09. Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any
Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York
City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed
Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all
Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other
Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into
Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount
specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in
more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice
of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the
date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such
Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial
Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.10. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may,
upon notice at least two Business Days' prior to the date of such prepayment, in
the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to
the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the
prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same
Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that
(x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in
the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 8.04(c).

          (b) Mandatory. (i) The Borrower shall prepay the aggregate principal
     amount of the Advances, together with accrued interest to the date of
     prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, without requirement of demand
     therefor, or shall pay or prepay any other Indebtedness then outstanding at
     any time when and to the extent required to comply with applicable Arizona
     laws, rules or regulations, including the 1984 Order and the 1986 Order, or
     applicable resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower and (ii)
     on the Termination Date applicable to any Non-Consenting Lender, the
     Borrower shall prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Advances,
     together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal
     amount prepaid, in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the sum of the
     Available Amount of all Letters of Credit plus the aggregate principal
     amount of the Advances then outstanding over (y) the aggregate Commitments
     to be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Termination Date.

          SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance with any new guideline or unanticipated
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 any Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances
or agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of
Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs
resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern),
(ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross
income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the
laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or
any political subdivision thereof and (iii) reserve requirements included in the
calculation required by Section 2.11(d)), then the Borrower shall from time to
time, within 30 days of demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts that
the Lender reasonably determines sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased cost. A certificate as to the amount


                                       18

<PAGE>

of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender,
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any new law or
regulation or any new guideline or unanticipated request from any central bank
or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects
or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of
such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's
commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and
other commitments of this type, then, within 30 days of demand by such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent
for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender,
additional amounts that the Lender reasonably determines sufficient to
compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances,
to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to
be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend or to issue or
participate in Letters of Credit hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c) Each Lender will notify the Borrower of any change that will
entitle such Lender to compensation under Section 2.11(a) or (b) as promptly as
practicable, but in any event within 90 days after such Lender obtains knowledge
thereof; provided, however, that, if any Lender fails to give such notice within
90 days after it obtains knowledge of such change, such Lender shall, with
respect to compensation payable in respect of any costs resulting from such
change, only be entitled to payment for costs incurred from and after the date
that such Lender does give such notice plus, if such change shall have
retroactive effect, costs resulting from such change during the period of
retroactive effect thereof. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change
would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

          (d) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender
that requests such a payment, so long as such Lender shall be required under
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain
reserves with respect to Eurocurrency Liabilities, an additional amount
determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding an amount equal to the sum of
the products of the following for each Eurodollar Rate Advance for each day
during the applicable Interest Period therefor:

          (i) the principal amount of such Eurodollar Rate Advance outstanding
     on such day; multiplied by

          (ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the
     rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such Eurodollar
     Rate Advance for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less
     the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances and any Applicable
     Utilization Fee), and the denominator of which is one minus the effective
     rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are
     imposed on such Lender on such day, minus (y) such numerator; multiplied by

          (iii) 1/360.

          Such additional amount shall be determined by such Lender and notified
to the Borrower through the Agent and shall be payable on each date on which
interest is payable on such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Any such determination,
when submitted by a Lender to the Borrower and accompanied by the calculations
showing the basis for such determination, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.12. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful,
or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations
hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar
Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if required by applicable
law, immediately upon such demand, Convert into a


                                       19

<PAGE>

Base Rate Advance and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended
until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist.

          SECTION 2.13. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make
each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off,
not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S.
dollars to the Agent at the Agent's Account in same day funds. The Agent will
promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment
of principal, interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of
their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the
payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender
hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18 or an
extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.19, and upon the Agent's
receipt of such Lender's Assumption Agreement and recording of the information
contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date
or Extension Date, as the case may be, the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the
interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an
Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in
the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the
Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance
shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to
such effective date directly between themselves.

          (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made
by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds
Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on
the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the
Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

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

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

          SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or
for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the Notes or any
other documents to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with
Section 2.13 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on
its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income
taxes, by the United States and the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or does business or any
political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on
its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income
taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office or any
political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and


                                       20

<PAGE>

liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder to any Lender or the
Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.14) 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 been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or any
other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or
registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement
or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").

          (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and
hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or paid by such Lender or
the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification
shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case
may be) makes written demand therefor. Such demand shall be made as promptly as
practicable, but in any event within 90 days after such Lender or the Agent (as
the case may be) obtains actual knowledge of such event; provided, however, that
if any Lender or the Agent fails to make such demand within 90 days after such
Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) obtains knowledge of such event, such
Lender or the Agent shall, with respect to compensation payable in respect of
such event, not be entitled to compensation in respect of the costs and losses
incurred between the 90th day after such Lender or the Agent (as the case may
be) obtains actual knowledge of such event and the date such Lender or the Agent
makes such demand.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the
extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment
thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the case of any payment
hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by
or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United
States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States
person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof,
the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent,
at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such
payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection
(e), the terms "United States" and "United States person" shall have the
meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

          (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States (i) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assumption
Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender
in the case of each other Lender, (ii) at any time that a change of
circumstances occurs of which such Lender is aware that makes any information on
the form so provided incorrect and (iii) from time to time thereafter as
reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender
remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the
Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or
other relevant Form W-8, as appropriate, or any successor or other form
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is
exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. Further, each such Lender that
is not an exempt recipient listed in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue
Code shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with the appropriate Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as appropriate,
or other successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying
that it is exempt from United States back-up withholding. If the form provided
by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement
indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and
until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate
applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered
excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided,


                                       21

<PAGE>

however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which
a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was
entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States
withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such
extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United
States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee
on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e)
requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to
compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to
be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall
not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information.

          (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to
provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document
described in Section 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in
law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to
the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required
to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not
required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to gross
up under Section 2.14(a) and shall not be entitled to indemnification under
Section 2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by
reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject
to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document
required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall
reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

          (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its
Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

          SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than as
payment of an Advance made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 2.03(c) or pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its
Ratable Share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the
Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender
shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to
such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          SECTION 2.16. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to
such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of
Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower
(with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required
or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of
pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such
Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note
payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender.

          (b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d)
shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in
which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of
each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing
and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of
each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and


                                       22

payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder
and each Lender's share thereof.

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

          SECTION 2.17. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be
available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for
general corporate purposes of the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than once in any
calendar year prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the Agent, request
that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased by an
amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a "Commitment
Increase") to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the
scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the "Increase Date") as specified in
the related notice to the Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall
the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceed
$500,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a
Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions
set forth in this Section 2.18 shall be satisfied.

          (b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the
Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed
amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date
and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment
Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments (the "Commitment Date"). Each Lender that is willing to
participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an "Increasing Lender")
shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to
the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its
Revolving Credit Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Agent that they are
willing to increase the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments
by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment
Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders
willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the
Borrower and the Agent.

          (c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify
the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to
participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by
which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment
Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment
Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees
to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not
been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided,
however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee
shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000,000.

          (d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an
offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with
Section 2.18(b) (each such Eligible Assignee and each Eligible Assignee that
agrees to an extension of the Termination Date in accordance with Section
2.19(c), an "Assuming Lender") shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as
of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing
Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by the
amount by which the Increasing Lender agreed to increase its Revolving Credit
Commitment (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last
sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that
the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following,
each dated such date:

          (i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of
     the Borrower approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding
     modifications to this Agreement, (B) an opinion of


                                       23

<PAGE>

     counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in form and
     substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders and (C) a
     certificate from a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, stating that
     the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) and (b) are satisfied;

          (ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in
     form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an
     "Assumption Agreement"), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Agent
     and the Borrower; and

          (iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the
     amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the
     Borrower and the Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Agent shall notify
the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the
Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier, of the
occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and
shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each
Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender
and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office
to the Agent at the Agent's Account, in same day funds, in the case of such
Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender's ratable portion of
the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit
Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments
outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and, in the
case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such
Increasing Lender's ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding
(calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the
aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the
relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender's ratable portion
of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit
Commitment (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) as a
percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect
to the relevant Commitment Increase). After the Agent's receipt of such funds
from each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Agent will
promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for
the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each
other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances owing to
each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender's
ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its
Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment
Increase).

          SECTION 2.19. Extension of Termination Date. (a) At least 60 days but
not more than 90 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date (but not
more than twice), the Borrower, by written notice to the Agent, may request an
extension of the Termination Date in effect at such time by one year from its
then scheduled expiration. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such
request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than
20 days prior to such anniversary date, notify the Borrower 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 the Borrower in writing of its consent to any
such request for extension of the Termination Date at least 20 days prior to the
applicable anniversary date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting
Lender with respect to such request. The Agent shall notify the Borrower not
later than 15 days prior to the applicable anniversary date of the decision of
the Lenders regarding the Borrower's request for an extension of the Termination
Date.

          (b) If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, the Termination Date in
effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable anniversary date (the
"Extension Date"), be extended for one year; provided that on each Extension
Date the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied and
on the Extension Date a duly authorized officer of the Borrower shall have
delivered to the Agent a certificate stating that the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02(a) and (b) are satisfied. If less than all of the Lenders consent
in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section
2.19, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the
applicable Extension Date and subject to subsection (d) of this Section 2.19, be
extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a "Consenting Lender") but
shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a "Non-Consenting Lender").
To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.19 and the Revolving Credit


                                       24

<PAGE>

Commitment of such Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of
this Section 2.19 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Revolving
Credit Commitment and Unissued Letter of Credit Commitment, if any, of such
Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended
Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the Borrower,
such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender's
rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04, and its obligations under Sections
7.05 and 8.08, shall survive the 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 the Borrower for
any requested extension of the Termination Date.

          (c) If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request
pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, the Agent shall promptly so
notify the Consenting Lenders, and each Consenting Lender may, in its sole
discretion, give written notice to the Agent not later than 10 days prior to the
Extension Date of the amount of the Non-Consenting Lenders' Revolving Credit
Commitments for which it is willing to accept an assignment in accordance with
Section 8.07(a). If the Consenting Lenders notify the Agent that they are
willing to accept assignments of Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate
amount that exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Non-Consenting Lenders, such Revolving Credit Commitments shall be allocated
among the Consenting Lenders willing to accept such assignments in such amounts
as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent. If after giving effect to the
assignments of Revolving Credit Commitments described above there remains any
Revolving Credit Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders, the Borrower may arrange
for one or more Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders to assume, effective as
of the Extension Date, any Non-Consenting Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment
and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement
thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such
Non-Consenting Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution
shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 unless the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than $10,000,000, in
which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and
provided further that:

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

          (ii) all additional cost reimbursements, expense reimbursements and
     indemnities then due and payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all
     other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender
     hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid
     to such Non-Consenting Lender; and

          (iii) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable
     processing and recordation fee required under Section 8.07(a) for such
     assignment shall have been paid;

provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender's rights under Sections 2.11,
2.14 and 8.04, and its obligations under Sections 7.05 and 8.08, shall survive
such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At
least three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming
Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assumption
Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender,
the Borrower and the Agent, (B) any such Consenting Lender shall have delivered
confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent as to the
increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment and (C) each
Non-Consenting Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall have
delivered to the Agent any Note or Notes held by such Non-Consenting Lender.
Upon the payment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of
the immediately preceding sentence, each such Consenting Lender or Assuming
Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Consenting
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 Non-Consenting Lender hereunder
arising after the Extension Date shall, by the provisions hereof, be released
and discharged.


                                       25

<PAGE>

          (d) If (after giving effect to any assignments or assumptions pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section 2.19) Lenders having Revolving Credit
Commitments equal to at least 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect
immediately prior to the Extension Date consent in writing to a requested
extension (whether by execution and delivery of an Assumption Agreement or
otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the
Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, subject to the satisfaction of the
applicable conditions in Article III and the delivery to the Agent on the
Extension Date of a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower
stating that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) and (b) are satisfied,
the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional
one-year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, and all
references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the "Termination
Date" shall, with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for
such Extension Date, refer to the Termination Date as so extended. Promptly
following each Extension Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including,
without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled
Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record
in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Consenting
Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

                                   ARTICLE III

          the Borrower certifying the names and true signatures of the officers

     (other than Section 4.01(k), and in the case of a Borrowing or issuance,
     Section 4.01(e)(ii) and 4.01(f)(ii)) are correct on and as of such date,
     before and after giving effect to such Borrowing or issuance, such
     Commitment Increase or such Extension Date and to the application of the
     proceeds therefrom, as though made on and as of such date,

          (b) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such

     Order) including the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances
     that are required to be treated by the Borrower as short-term debt does not
     exceed 7% of the Borrower's total capitalization,

Lenders, revise the Notices of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance to the extent
necessary to take into account any applicable limitations on the incurrence or
maintenance of Indebtedness, so long as any revised Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Issuance (x) demonstrates that such Borrowing or issuance is
authorized by the Subsequent Order and (y) is accompanied by a favorable opinion

          SECTION 3.03. Determinations Under Section 3.01. For purposes of
determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.01, each
Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be
satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented
to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lenders unless an officer
of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the date that the Borrower
designates as the proposed Effective Date, specifying its objection thereto. The
Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the occurrence of

     business as presently conducted; (iii) has all governmental licenses,
     authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and
     carry on its business as presently conducted, if the failure to have any
     such license, authorization, consent or approval is reasonably likely to
     have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed to the Lenders in the
     SEC Reports or by means of a letter from the Borrower to the Lenders
     delivered prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and except
     that (A) the Borrower from time to time may make minor extensions of its
     lines, plants, services or systems prior to the time a related franchise,
     certificate of convenience and necessity, license or permit is procured,
     (B) from time to time communities served by the Borrower may become
     incorporated and considerable time may elapse before such a franchise is
     procured, (C) certain such franchises may have expired prior to the
     renegotiation thereof, (D) certain minor defects and exceptions may exist
     which, individually and in the aggregate, are not material and (E) certain
     franchises, certificates, licenses and permits may not be specific as to
     their geographical scope); and (iv) is qualified to do business in all
     jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes

     Agreement and the Notes to be delivered by it, and the consummation of the
     transactions contemplated hereby, are within the Borrower's corporate
     powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do

     affecting the Borrower or (iii) cause the creation or imposition of any
     Lien upon the assets of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary.

          (c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
     or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required
     for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this
     Agreement or the Notes to be delivered by it, except for the 1984 Order and
     the 1986 Order, both of which have been duly obtained and are in full force
     and effect (except to the extent that the 1986 Order modifies or supersedes
     the 1984 Order with respect to long-term debt).

          (d) This Agreement has been, and each of the Notes to be delivered by
     it when delivered hereunder will have been, duly executed and delivered by
     the Borrower. This Agreement is, and each of the Notes when delivered

     enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms,
     subject, however, to the application by a court of general principles of
     equity and to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
     generally.

     cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the nine
     months then ended, duly certified by the chief financial officer of the

     present in all material respects, subject, in the case of said balance

     for the nine months then ended, to year-end audit adjustments, the
     Consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated
     Subsidiaries as at such dates and the Consolidated results of the
     operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the
     periods ended on such dates, all in accordance with GAAP (except as
     disclosed therein). (ii) Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or by means
     of a letter delivered to the Lenders prior to the execution and delivery of
     this Agreement, since September 30, 2005, there has been no Material
     Adverse Change.

          (f) There is no pending or, to the knowledge of an Authorized Officer
     of the Borrower, threatened action, suit, investigation, litigation or
     proceeding, including, without limitation, any Environmental Action,
     affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court,
     governmental agency or arbitrator that (i) purports to affect the legality,
     validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note or the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) would be
     reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (except as disclosed to
     the Lenders in the SEC Reports or by means of a letter from the Borrower to
     the Lenders delivered prior to the execution and delivery of this
     Agreement) and there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial
     effect on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, of such disclosed
     litigation that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
     Effect.

          (g) No proceeds of any Advance will be used to acquire any equity
     security not issued by the Borrower of a class that is registered pursuant
     to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

          (h) The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit
     for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning

     any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
     purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

          (i) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States
     Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are

     contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and that appropriate
     reserves for the payment thereof have been maintained by the Borrower and
     its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP or (ii) the failure to make such
     filings or such payments is not reasonably likely to have a Material
     Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the
     Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries as set forth in the most recent
     financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Lenders pursuant to
     Section 4.01(e) or Section 5.01(h)(i) or (ii) hereof in respect of taxes
     and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower,
     adequate.

          (j) Set forth on Schedule 4.01(j) hereto (as such schedule may be
     modified from time to time by the Borrower by written notice to the Agent)
     is a complete and accurate list of all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower
     and, as of the Effective Date, no such Subsidiary of the Borrower is a
     Material Subsidiary.

          (k) Set forth on Schedule 4.01(k) hereto is a complete and accurate
     list identifying any Indebtedness of the Borrower outstanding in a

     "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          SECTION 5.01. Affirmative Covenants. So long as any Advance shall
remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower
will:

          (a) Compliance with Laws, Etc. (i) Comply, and cause each of its
     Material Subsidiaries to comply, in all material respects, with all
     applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of governmental or

     all times with the 1984 Order, the 1986 Order, any Subsequent Order,
     Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 40-302 and all similar or comparable
     Arizona laws, rules or regulations relating to the incurrence or
     maintenance of Indebtedness by the Borrower, unless the failure to so
     comply could not affect the validity or enforceability of the indebtedness
     of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

          (b) Payment of Taxes, Etc. Pay and discharge, and cause each of its
     Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent,
     all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it
     or upon its property; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any
     of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax,
     assessment, charge or levy (i) that is being contested in good faith and by
     proper proceedings and as to which appropriate reserves are being
     maintained in accordance with GAAP or (ii) if the failure to pay such tax,
     assessment, charge or levy is not reasonably likely to have a Material
     Adverse Effect.

     Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable
     insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering such risks
     as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning
     similar properties in the same general areas in which the Borrower or such
     Subsidiary operates; provided, however, that the Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries may self-insure to the same extent as other companies engaged
     in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general
     areas in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary operates and to the extent
     consistent with prudent business practice.

          (d) Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Preserve and maintain,
     and cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its
     corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises (other
     than "franchises" as described in Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 40-283
     or any successor provision) reasonably necessary in the normal conduct of
     its business, if the failure to maintain such rights or privileges is
     reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and use its
     commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and maintain such franchises
     reasonably necessary in the normal conduct of its business, except that (i)
     the Borrower from time to time may make minor extensions of its lines,
     plants, services or systems prior to the time a related franchise,
     certificate of convenience and necessity, license or permit is procured,
     (ii) from time to time communities served by the Borrower may become
     incorporated and considerable time may elapse before such a franchise is
     procured, (iii) certain such franchises may have expired prior to the
     renegotiation thereof, (iv) certain minor defects and exceptions may exist
     which, individually and in the aggregate, are not material and (v) certain

     permit and cause each of its Subsidiaries to permit the Agent or any of the
     Lenders or any agents or representatives thereof, to examine and make
     copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of, and visit
     the properties of, the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries, and to discuss
     the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and any of its
     Subsidiaries with any of their officers or directors; provided, however,
     that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to restrict access
     to any of its properties in accordance with reasonably adopted procedures
     relating to safety and security; and provided further that the costs and
     expenses incurred by such Lender or agents or representatives in connection
     with any such examinations,


                                       30

     Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of record and account, in which full and
     correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets
     and business of the Borrower and each such Subsidiary in accordance with
     GAAP.

          (g) Maintenance of Properties, Etc. Keep, and cause each Material
     Subsidiary to keep, all property useful and necessary in its business in
     good working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), if the
     failure to do so is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, it
     being understood that this covenant relates only to the working order and
     condition of such properties and shall not be construed as a covenant not
     to dispose of properties.

     the maturity of such Indebtedness; or

          (e) The Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of or premium or
     interest in respect of any operating lease in respect of which the payment
     obligations of the Borrower have a present value of at least $25,000,000,
     when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity,
     required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and such failure
     shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such
     operating lease, if the effect of such failure is to terminate, or to
     permit the termination of, such operating lease; or

          (f) The Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall generally
     not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its
     inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment
     for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or
     against the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries seeking to
     adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up,
     reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition
     of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
     reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for
     relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
     similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in
     the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted
     by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a
     period of 30 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding
     (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against,
     or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
     official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur;
     or the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall take any
     corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this
     subsection (f); or

          (g) Judgments or orders for the payment of money that exceeds any
     applicable insurance coverage (the insurer of which shall be rated at least
     "A" by A.M. Best Company) by more than $25,000,000 in the aggregate shall
     be rendered against the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary and such
     judgments or orders shall continue unsatisfied or unstayed for a period of
     45 days; or

          (h) (i) Any Person or two or more Persons acting in concert shall have
     acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934), directly or indirectly, of Voting Stock of PWCC (or other securities
     convertible into such Voting Stock) representing 30% or more of the
     combined voting power of all Voting Stock of PWCC; or (ii) during any
     period of up to 24 consecutive months, commencing after the date of this
     Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such 24-month period were
     directors of PWCC shall cease for any reason (other than due to death or
     disability) to constitute a majority of the board of directors of PWCC
     (except to the extent that individuals who at the beginning of such
     24-month period were replaced by individuals (x) elected by a majority of
     the remaining members of the board of directors of


                                       34

<PAGE>

     PWCC or (y) nominated for election by a majority of the remaining members
     of the board of directors of the PWCC and thereafter elected as directors
     by the shareholders of PWCC); or (iii) PWCC shall cease for any reason to
     own, directly or indirectly 80% of the Voting Stock of the Borrower; or

          (i) The Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates shall incur, or, with
     respect to clause (i) of this Section 6.01(i), shall be reasonably likely
     to incur liability in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate as a result of
     one or more of the following: (i) the occurrence of any ERISA Event; (ii)
     the partial or complete withdrawal of the Borrower or any of its ERISA
     Affiliates from a Multiemployer Plan; or (iii) the reorganization or
     termination of a Multiemployer Plan; and, in any such case, such
     incurrence, in the determination of the Lenders, is material in relation to
     the financial condition or the financial prospects of the Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

then, and in any such event, the Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the
consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the
obligation of each Lender to make Advances (other than Advances by an Issuing
Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of the Issuing Banks to issue
Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith
terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the
Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest
thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due
and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts
shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed
entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Advances (other than
Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of the
Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and
(B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically
become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

          SECTION 6.02. Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit upon Default. If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may with
the consent, or shall at the request, of the Required Lenders, irrespective of
whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 6.01 or otherwise,
make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower
will, (a) pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in same day funds at
the Agent's office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash
Deposit Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all
Letters of Credit then outstanding, provided, however, that in the event of an
actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Borrower will pay to the Agent on behalf of the
Lenders in same day funds, for deposit to the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an
amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then
outstanding, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, or (b) make such other
arrangements in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit as shall be
acceptable to the Required Lenders. If at any time the Agent determines that any
funds held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account are subject to any right or interest
of any Person other than the Agent and the Lenders or that the total amount of
such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit,
the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, as
additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an
amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the
total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account that
are free and clear of any such right and interest. Upon the drawing of any
Letter of Credit, to the extent funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit
Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks to the
extent permitted by applicable law, and if so applied, then such reimbursement
shall be deemed a repayment of the corresponding Advance in respect of such
Letter of Credit. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under
the Notes shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash
Deposit Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                    THE AGENT

          SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender (in its capacities
as a Lender and Issuing Bank, as applicable) hereby appoints and authorizes the
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to


                                       35

<PAGE>

exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the
Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders
and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be
required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that
is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Agent agrees to give to
each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.02. Agent's Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (i) may treat the
Lender that made any Advance as the holder of the Indebtedness resulting
therefrom until the Agent receives and accepts an Assumption Agreement entered
into by an Assuming Lender as provided in Section 2.18 or 2.19, as the case may
be, or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor,
and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (ii) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent
public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or
in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or
to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or
the existence at any time of any Default or to inspect the property (including
the books and records) of the Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any
Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security
interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and
(vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting
upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may
be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties.

          SECTION 7.03. Citibank and Affiliates. With respect to its
Commitments, the Advances made by it and any Note issued to it, Citibank 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 term "Lender" or
"Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank in its
individual capacity. Citibank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking
engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were not
the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Agent
shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any
of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the
extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as
Agent.

          SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to
indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from
and against such Lender's Ratable Share of any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement
(collectively, the "Indemnified Costs"), provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting


                                       36

<PAGE>

from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand
for its Ratable Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees)
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, to the extent that the Agent
is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any
investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs,
this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

          (b) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Banks (to
the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such
Lender's Ratable Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against any such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank hereunder or in
connection herewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing
Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse any such Issuing Bank promptly upon
demand for its Ratable Share of any costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section
8.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such
costs and expenses by the Borrower.

          (c) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing
Bank promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any amount required to be
paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank
for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank for such
other Lender's Ratable Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of
each Lender contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of
principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.
Each of the Agent and each Issuing Bank agrees to return to the Lenders their
respective Ratable Shares of any amounts paid under this Section 7.05 that are
subsequently reimbursed by the Borrower.

          SECTION 7.06. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed
at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent approved, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, by the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders'
removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.07. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that
neither the documentation agents nor any other Lender designated as any "Agent"
on the signature pages hereof has any rights, obligations or liability hereunder
other than in its capacity as a Lender.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          SECTION 8.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or the Notes, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same


                                       37

<PAGE>

shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders, do any of the following:
(a) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01, (b) increase the
Commitments of the Lenders, (c) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the
Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder due to such Lenders, (d)
postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Advances or any fees payable hereunder due to such Lenders, (e) change the
percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Advances, or the number of Lenders, that shall be
required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder or (f)
amend this Section 8.01; and provided further that (x) no amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the
Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the
Agent under this Agreement or any Note and (y) no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Banks in addition to the
Lenders required above to take such action, adversely affect the rights or
obligations of the Issuing Banks in their capacities as such under this
Agreement.

          SECTION 8.02. Notices, Etc. (a) All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be either (x) in writing (including facsimile
communication) and mailed, faxed or delivered or (y) as and to the extent set
forth in Section 8.02(b) and in the proviso to this Section 8.02(a), if to the
Borrower, at its address at P.O. Box 53999, Phoenix, Arizona 85072-3999,
Attention: Treasurer; if to any Initial Lender, at its Domestic Lending Office
specified opposite its name on Schedule I hereto; if to any other Lender, at its

address at Two Penns Way, New Castle, Delaware 19720, Attention: Bank Loan
Syndications Department; or, as to the Borrower or the Agent, at such other
address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other
parties and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrower and the Agent,
provided that materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(h)(i),
(ii) and (iv) shall be delivered to the Agent as specified in Section 8.02(b).
All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, faxed or e-mailed, be
effective when deposited in the mails, faxed or confirmed by e-mail,
respectively, except that notices and communications to the Agent pursuant to
Article II, III or VII shall not be effective until received by the Agent.
Delivery by facsimile of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or of any Exhibit hereto to be
executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually

          (b) So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Agent,
materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(h)(i), (ii) and (iv)
shall be delivered to the Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable

Borrower agrees that the Agent may make such materials, as well as any other
written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and relating to this Agreement, the Notes or
the transactions contemplated hereby, or any other materials or matters relating
to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
(collectively, the "Communications") available to the Lenders by posting such
notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic system (the
"Platform"). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material
through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the
Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" and (iii) neither the Agent nor
any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the
Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors
or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind,
express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third
party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent
or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

          (c) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) (a "Notice") specifying that any Communications have been posted to
the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents
or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that
if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications
to such Lender by email, facsimile or mail. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the
Agent in writing of such Lender's e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent
by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before

thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address
for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

<PAGE>

          SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any
Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on
demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the
administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the
other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and
with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under
this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this
Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this
Section 8.04(a).

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and
each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against
any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of
or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in
connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a
defense in connection therewith) (i) the Notes, this Agreement, any of the
transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds
of the Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on
any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental
Action relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to
the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, in which
case any fees and expenses previously paid or advanced by the Borrower to such
Indemnified Party in respect of such indemnified obligation will be returned by
such Indemnified Party. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors
or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified
Party is otherwise a party thereto, unless such litigation or proceeding is
brought by or against the Borrower and the Borrower prevails in a final,
non-appealable judgment, in which case any fees or expenses previously paid or
advanced by the Borrower to such Indemnified Party in respect of such
indemnified obligation will be returned by such Indemnified Party, and whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Each party hereto
also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages against the other parties hereto, any of their Affiliates, or
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on
any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this
Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed
use of the proceeds of the Advances.

          (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar
Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other
than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a
payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08(d) or (e), 2.10 or 2.12,
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any
other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day
of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a
demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon
demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the
Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such
Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur
as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any
loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any
Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

          (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal,
interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

          SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the
granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to
declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01,
each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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 and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender,
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

          SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective
(other than Section 2.01, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been
executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been
notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that
the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any
interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

          SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may and,
if demanded by the Borrower (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to
Section 2.11 or 2.14) upon at least five Business Days' notice to such Lender
and the Agent, will assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Unissued Letter of Credit
Commitment, the Advances owing to it, its participations in Letters of Credit
and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such
assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights
and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) except in the case of an assignment
to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an
assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Unissued Letter of Credit
Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless the Borrower and the
Agent otherwise agree, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower after
consultation with the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the
rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an
assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with
another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the
rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no
Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall
have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more
Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with
accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all
other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and (vi) the parties
to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its
acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together
with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 payable by the parties to each such assignment, provided, however, that
in the case of each assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower,
such recordation fee shall be payable by the Borrower except that no such
recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment made at the
request of the Borrower to an Eligible Assignee that is an existing Lender, and
(vii) any Lender may, without the approval of the Borrower and the Agent, assign
all or a portion of its rights to any Lender or to any of its or their
Affiliates that is not a natural person. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights
under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to
an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations
(other than its obligations under Section 7.05 to the


                                       40

<PAGE>

extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment
and under Section 8.08) 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). For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment by an Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) shall affect its rights and obligations in its
capacity as an Issuing Bank with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it
and then outstanding.

          (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided
in such 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, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created
or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or
observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of
the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and 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 confirms that it is an
Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion
under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii)
such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of
the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed
by it as a Lender.

          (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee,
together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if
such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the
form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to the Borrower.

          (d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section
8.02 a copy of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a
portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it
and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment
to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all
purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant
under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment,
waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or
any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject
to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal
of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation.


                                       41

          (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation
or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose
to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any
information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of
the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the
confidentiality of any Borrower Information relating to the Borrower received by
it from such Lender as provided in Section 8.08.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Lender (a "Granting Bank") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a
"SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to
the Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any
part of any Advance that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make
to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein
shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance, (ii) if an SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part
of such Advance, the Granting Bank shall be obligated, as a principal and not as
a surety, to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) all voting
rights under this Agreement, except with respect to the consent contemplated in
the last sentence of this Section 8.07(g), shall be exercised by the Granting
Bank, all payments hereunder shall continue to be made to the Granting Bank as
agent for its SPC and the Granting Bank will continue to be the sole Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Section
8.07(g). The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were
made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the
foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 8.07, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but
without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in
any Advances to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to
by the Borrower and Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for
the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Advances and
(ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any
surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither such grant made hereunder nor the holding
of interest hereunder by any SPC shall increase any of the Borrower's
obligations and/or liabilities (including without limitation tax liabilities and
other indemnities) which the Borrower has but for such grant or holding of
interest ("SPC Liabilities") and the Granting Bank shall hold the Borrower
harmless and indemnify the Borrower from and against any and all SPC
Liabilities. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of each
SPC affected thereby.

          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement,
any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances
owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve
Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.

          SECTION 8.08. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender may
disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information
of the Borrower furnished to the Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower (such
information being referred to collectively herein as the "Borrower
Information"), except that each of the Agent and each of the Lenders may
disclose Borrower Information (i) to its and its affiliates' employees,
officers, directors, agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons
to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower Information
confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv)
to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.08, to any assignee
or participant or prospective assignee or participant, (vii) to the extent such
Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a
non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.08
by the Agent


                                       42

<PAGE>

or such Lender, or (B) is or becomes available to the Agent or such Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower (provided that the
source of such information was not known by the recipient after inquiry to be
bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or
fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any other Person with
respect to such information) and (viii) with the consent of the Borrower. The
obligations under this Section 8.08 shall survive for two calendar years after
the date of the termination of this Agreement.

          SECTION 8.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

          SECTION 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 8.11. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby
submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal
court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such
New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New
York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          SECTION 8.12. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any
Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an
Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible
for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank
against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter
of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate
reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in
making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the
Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank
shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not
consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were
caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence as
determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of
Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing
Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms
and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of
the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary.

          SECTION 8.13. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies each borrower, guarantor
or grantor (the "Loan Parties"), which information includes the name and address
of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
such Loan Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall provide, to the
extent


                                       43

<PAGE>

commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are
reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agent and
such Lender in maintaining compliance with the Act.


                                       44

<PAGE>

          SECTION 8.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Agent
and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any
action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or
otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes or the
actions of the Borrower, the Agent or any Lender in the negotiation,
administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the
date first above written.
