          "Advance" shall mean an advance of funds pursuant to the terms hereof.

2    AMOUNT AND TERMS OF FACILITY
     ----------------------------

     2.1  Revolving Line of Credit. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set
          ------------------------
forth, each Bank agrees severally to make Advances to the Borrower from time to
time during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the
Maturity Date in such amounts as the Borrower may request up to an amount not to
exceed, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, the Revolving
Commitment.  The obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by this
Agreement and the Notes issued in connection herewith, said Notes to be as
described in Section 2.4 hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if any Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing or if any event
or condition has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time or
service of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.  Each Advance
under the Revolving Commitment shall be an aggregate amount of at least $100,000
or a whole number multiple thereof except an Advance of the entire remaining
unborrowed Revolving Commitment. Irrespective of the face amount of the Notes,
the Banks shall never have the obligation to Advance any amount or amounts in
excess of the Revolving Commitment or to increase the Revolving Commitment.  The
total number of Tranches under the Revolving Commitment which may be outstanding
at any time hereunder shall never exceed ten (10), whether such Tranches are
Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans, or a combination thereof.  Within the limit of
each Bank's Revolving Commitment, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow
under this Section 2 prior to the Maturity Date.

     2.2  Letter of Credit. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
          ----------------
the Agent shall from time to time during the period beginning on the Effective
Date and ending on the Maturity Date upon request of Borrower issue standby
and/or commercial Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower (the "Letters of
Credit") in such face amounts as Borrower may request.  The face amount of all
Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder shall be considered as
Advances and all payments made by the Agent on such Letters of Credit shall be
considered as Advances under the Notes.  Each Letter of Credit issued for the
account of Borrower hereunder shall (i) be in favor of such beneficiaries as
specifically requested by Borrower, (ii) have an expiration date not exceeding
the earlier of (a) one year or (b) the Maturity Date, and (iii) contain such
other terms and provisions as may be reasonably required by Agent.  Each Bank
(other than Agent) agrees that, upon issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder,
it shall automatically acquire a participation in the Agent's liability under
such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Bank's Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such liability, and each Bank (other than Agent) thereby shall
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not
as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to Agent to pay and discharge
when due, its Revolving Commitment Percentage of Agent's liability under such
Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and
reimburse the Agent for the amount of each demand for payment under any Letter
of Credit that is in substantial compliance with the provisions of any such
Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the
Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or
other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt from any beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit of any

                                       15
<PAGE>

demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify
the Borrower of the demand and the date upon which such payment is to be made by
the Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. Forthwith upon receipt
of such notice from the Agent, Borrower shall advise the Agent whether or not it
intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligations to reimburse the Agent,
and if so, submit a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof. If
Borrower fails to so advise Agent and thereafter fail to reimburse Agent, the
Agent shall notify each Bank of the demand and the failure of the Borrower to
reimburse the Agent, and each Bank shall reimburse the Agent for its Revolving
Commitment Percentage of each such draw paid by the Agent and unreimbursed by
the Borrower. All such amounts paid by Agent and/or reimbursed by the Banks
shall be treated as an Advance or Advances under the Revolving Commitment, which
Advances shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.

     2.3  Manner of Borrowing.
          -------------------

          (a)  Procedure for Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower desires an Advance
               -----------------------
     hereunder, it shall give Agent telegraphic, telex, facsimile or telephonic
     notice ("Notice of Borrowing") of such requested Advance, which in the case
     of telephonic notice, shall be promptly confirmed in writing.  Each Notice
     of Borrowing shall be in the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto and shall
     be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
     time, one London Business Day prior to any proposed Borrowing Date in the
     case of LIBOR Loans and at any time up to 11:00 a.m. on the day of the
     requested Advance for Base Rate Loans. The LIBOR Rate to be utilized for
     the Interest Period selected shall be the rate effective as of the date of
     the Notice of Borrowing as published in the "Money Rates" section of The
     Wall Street Journal. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the
     Borrowing Date (which, if a Base Rate Loan, shall be a Business Day and if
     a LIBOR Loan, a London Business Day), (ii) the principal amount to be
     borrowed, (iii) the portion of the Advance constituting Base Rate Loans
     and/or LIBOR Loans and (iv) if any portion of the proposed Advance is to
     constitute LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period selected by Borrower
     pursuant to Section 4 hereof to be applicable thereto.  Upon receipt of
     such Notice, Agent shall advise each Bank thereof no later than 12:00 p.m.;
     provided, that if the Banks have received  notice as of the date of funding
     of such Advance prior to funding of a Base Rate Loan, or at least  one (1)
     days' notice of each Advance prior to funding in the case of a LIBOR Loan,
     each Bank shall provide Agent at its office at 201 Robert S. Kerr Avenue,
     Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, not later than 3:00 p.m., Oklahoma City,
     Oklahoma time, on the Borrowing Date, in immediately available funds, its
     pro rata share of the requested Advance, but the aggregate of all such
     fundings by each Bank shall never exceed such Bank's Revolving Commitment.
     Not later than 4:00 p.m., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma time, on the Borrowing
     Date, Agent shall make available to the Borrower at the same office, in
     like funds, the aggregate amount of such requested Advance.  Neither Agent
     nor any Bank shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any
     Notice of Borrowing which Agent or such Bank believes in good faith to have
     been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to
     borrow on behalf of Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under
     this Section 2.3(a).  Upon funding of Advances by

                                       16
<PAGE>

     Banks in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant to any such Notice, the
     Borrower shall have effected Advances hereunder.

          (b)  Letters of Credit.  The amount and date of issuance, renewal,
               -----------------
     extension or reissuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to the Banks'
     commitment above in Section 2.2 shall be designated by Borrower's written
     request delivered to Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
     date of such issuance, renewal, extension or reissuance. Concurrently with
     or promptly following the delivery of the request for a Letter of Credit,
     Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent an application and
     agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit, said application and
     agreement to be in the form used by the Agent.  The Agent shall not be
     obligated to issue, renew, extend or reissue such Letters of Credit if the
     amount thereof when added to the Total Outstandings would exceed the
     Revolving Commitment.  Borrower agrees to pay the Agent for the benefit of
     the Banks the Letter of Credit Fees for issuing the Letters of Credit
     (calculated separately for each Letter of Credit) .  Such  Letter of Credit
     Fees shall be payable prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and
     thereafter on each anniversary date of such issuance while such Letter of
     Credit is outstanding.  Agent shall pay such Letter of Credit Fees to Banks
     within 45 days of the issuance thereof in accordance with each Bank's
     Revolving Commitment Percentage.

     2.4  Notes Evidencing Loans.  The loans described above in Section 2.1
          ----------------------
shall be evidenced by promissory notes of Borrowers as follows:

          (a)  Form of Revolving Notes - The Revolving Loan shall be evidenced
               -----------------------
     by by a Note or Notes in the aggregate face amount of $100,000,000, and
     shall be in the form of Exhibit "B" hereto with appropriate insertions
     (each a "Note"). Notwithstanding the face amount of the Notes, the actual
     principal amount due from the Borrower to Banks on account of the Notes, as
     of any date of computation, shall be the sum of Advances then and
     theretofore made on account thereof, less all principal payments actually
     received by Banks in collected funds with respect thereto. Although the
     Notes may be dated as of the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof
     shall be payable only for the period during which the loans evidenced
     thereby are outstanding and, although the stated amount of the Notes may be
     higher, the Notes shall be enforceable, with respect to Borrower's
     obligation to pay the principal amount thereof, only to the extent of the
     unpaid principal amount of the loans. Irrespective of the face amount of
     the Notes, no Bank shall ever be obligated to advance on the Revolving
     Commitment any amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment then in effect.

          (b)  Issuance of Additional Notes - At the Effective Date there shall
               ----------------------------

     this Agreement.  Upon request from Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
     deliver to Agent any such new or additional Notes.  From time to time as
     new Notes are issued the Agent shall require that each Bank exchange their
     Notes for newly issued

                                       17
<PAGE>

     Notes to better reflect the extent of each Bank's Revolving Commitment

          (c)  Interest Rates - The unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall

     acceleration of the amount due.

          (f)  Payment to Banks - Each Bank's Pro Rata Part of each payment or
               ----------------
     prepayment of the Loans shall be directed by wire transfer to such Bank by
     the Agent at the address provided to the Agent for such Bank for payments
     no later than 3:00 p.m., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, time on the Business Day
     such payments or prepayments are deemed hereunder to have been received by
     Agent; provided, however, in the event that any Bank shall have failed to
     make an Advance as contemplated under Section 2 hereof (a "Defaulting
     Bank") and the Agent or another Bank or Banks shall have made such Advance,
     payment received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank or Banks
     shall not be distributed to such Defaulting Bank or Banks until such
     Advance or Advances shall have been repaid in full to the Bank or Banks who
     funded such Advance or Advances.  Any payment or prepayment received by
     Agent at any time after 12:00 noon, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, time on a
     Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business
     Day.  Interest shall cease to accrue on any principal as of the end of the
     day preceding the Business Day on which any such payment or prepayment is
     deemed hereunder to have been received by Agent.  If Agent fails to
     transfer any principal amount to any Bank as provided above, then Agent
     shall promptly direct such principal amount by wire transfer to such Bank.

          (g)  Sharing of Payments, Etc. - If any Bank shall obtain any payment
               -------------------------
     (whether voluntary, involuntary, or otherwise) on account of the Loans,
     (including, without limitation, any set-off) which is in excess of its Pro
     Rata Part of payments on either of the Loans, as the case may be, obtained
     by all Banks, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such
     participation as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share
     the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided that, if all or any
     portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
     Bank, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to
     the extent of the recovery.  The Borrower agrees that any Bank so
     purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section may,
     to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of
     payment (including the right of offset) with respect to such participation
     as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the
     amount of such participation.

               ---------------------------------
     been notified by a Bank or the Borrower (the "Payor") prior to the date on
     which such Bank is to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan
     to be made by it hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to the
     Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such
     payment being herein called the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be
     effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required
     Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required Payment has
     been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be
     required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient
     on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to
     the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Agent
     the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect
     of the period commencing on the date such amount was made available by the
     Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at the rate applicable
     to such portion of the applicable Loan.

          (i)  Capital Adequacy - If either (i) the introduction or
               ----------------
     implementation of or the compliance with or any change in or in the
     interpretation of any law, rule or regulation or (ii) the introduction or
     implementation of or the compliance with any mandatory request, directive
     or guideline 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 any Bank or any
     corporation controlling any Bank as a result of maintaining its Pro Rata
     Part of the Revolving Commitment, then within fifteen (15) days after
     demand by such Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Bank, from time to time
     as specified by such Bank, such additional amount or amounts which such
     Bank shall reasonably determine to be appropriate to compensate such Bank
     or any corporation controlling such Bank in light of such circumstances, to
     the extent that such Bank reasonably determines that the amount of any such
     capital would be increased, or the rate of return on any such capital would
     be reduced in whole or in part, based on the existence of the amount of the
     Loans or such Bank's Revolving Commitment under this Agreement; provided,
     however, that to the extent such notice is given by any such Bank more than
     180 days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional
     costs of the type described in this Section, such Bank shall not be
     entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred
     or accruing prior to the date 180 days before the giving of such notice,
     except to the extent such law, rule, regulation, request, directive or
     guideline shall have been given retroactive effective affecting a period
     beginning more than 180 days prior to such notice.

     2.5  Interest Rates.  The interest rate for both Base Rate Loans and LIBOR

actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during
the period for which payable and be based upon the ratio of Net Funded Debt to
Cash Flow existing as of the date the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent.
The interest rate shall be determined as set forth below and Borrower's election
of a particular rate shall be set forth in a Notice of Borrowing.

                                       19
<PAGE>

          (a)  Base Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal of the Base Rate Loans
               ---------------
     shall bear interest from the date of advance to maturity at a rate per
     annum which shall from day to day be equal to the lesser of: (i) the Base
     Rate in effect from day to day, or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate.

          (b)  LIBOR Loans.  The unpaid principal of each LIBOR Loan shall bear
               -----------
     interest for the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum
     which shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the
     Interest Period applicable thereto, or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate.

          (c)  Past Due Interest.  Overdue principal on the Loans shall bear
               -----------------
     interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per annum
     equal to the Default Rate.

          (d)  Recoupment.  If at any time the applicable rate of interest
               ----------
     selected pursuant to Sections 2.5(a)(b)and (c) above shall exceed the
     Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest on the Notes to be limited to
     the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the interest rate so
     selected or subsequently selected shall not reduce the rate of interest on
     the Notes below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued
     on the Note equals the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
     Notes if the rate or rates selected pursuant to the Sections listed above
     had at all times been in effect.

     2.6  Interest Rate Options.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6,
          ---------------------
Borrower shall have the option of having all or any portion of the Loan bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, or a rate based upon the Base Rate (an
"Interest Option"); provided, however, that each LIBOR Loan shall be in the
minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 in $500,000.00 multiples.  Each change in an
Interest Option made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be deemed both a payment
of the Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan from which such change was made and
(notwithstanding that the unpaid principal amount of the Loan is not thereby
changed) a LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan into which such change was made on the
date of such change.

          (a)  At Time of Borrowing.  Borrower shall, in accordance with Section
               --------------------
     2.3 hereof, give Agent notice of the initial Interest Option selected with
     respect to each Borrowing made hereunder.

          (b)  At Expiration of Interest Periods.  Prior to the termination of
               ---------------------------------
     each Interest Period with respect to each LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall give
     written notice (a " Rollover Notice") to Agent of the Interest Option which
     shall be applicable to such portion of the Loan upon the expiration of such
     Interest Period.  Such Rollover Notice shall be given to Agent at least
     one (1) LIBOR Business Day, in the case of a LIBOR Rate selection, prior to
     the termination of such Interest Period.  No advance notice is necessary to
     convert to a Base Rate Loan.  If Borrower shall specify a LIBOR Rate, such
     Rollover Notice shall also specify the length of the succeeding Interest
     Period (subject to the provisions of the definitions of such

                                       20
<PAGE>

     term), selected by Borrower with respect to such portion of the Loan. Each
     Rollover Notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification
     thereof to Agent. If the required Rollover Notice shall not have been
     timely received by Agent (in accordance with the above provisions of this
     Section 2.6(b)) prior to the expiration of the then relevant Interest
     Period in effect when such notice was required to be given, Borrower shall
     be deemed to have selected the rate set forth in Section 2.5(a) to be
     applicable to such portion of the Loan upon expiration of such Interest
     Period and to have given Agent notice of such selection.

          (c) Options Upon Default.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section
              --------------------
     2.6 to the contrary, no Base Rate Loan may be converted to a LIBOR Loan and
     no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default
     has occurred and is continuing, but each such Loan shall be automatically
     converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of each applicable Interest
     Period.

     2.7  Change of Circumstances.
          -----------------------

          (a)  Unavailability of Funds or Inadequacy of Pricing.  In the event
               ------------------------------------------------
     that, in connection with any proposed LIBOR Loan, the Agent determines,
     which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
     binding upon all parties, due to changes in circumstances since the date
     hereof, adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate
     or such rate will not accurately reflect the costs to the Banks of funding
     LIBOR Loans for such LIBOR Interest Period, the Agent shall give notice of
     such determination to the Borrowers and the Banks, whereupon, until the
     Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Banks that the circumstances giving
     rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to
     make, continue or convert Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and
     all loans to Borrowers shall be Base Rate Loans during the period of
     suspension.

          (b)  Change in Laws.  If at any time any new law or any change in
               --------------
     existing laws or in the interpretation of any new or existing laws shall
     make it unlawful for any Bank to make or continue to maintain or fund LIBOR
     Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify Borrowers in writing
     and such Bank's obligation to make, continue or convert Loans into LIBOR
     Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer
     unlawful for such Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans.  Upon receipt of
     such notice, Borrowers shall either repay the outstanding LIBOR Loans owed
     to the Banks, without penalty, on the last day of the current Interest
     Periods (or, if any Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund
     such LIBOR Loans, immediately), or Borrowers may convert such LIBOR Loans
     at such appropriate time to Base Rate Loans.

          (c)  Increased Cost or Reduced Return.
               --------------------------------

               (i)   If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable
          law, rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule,
          or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration
          thereof by any governmental authority, central

                                       21
<PAGE>

          bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
          administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or
          directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
          governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

                     (A)  shall subject such Bank to any tax, duty, or other
               charge with respect to any LIBOR Loans, its Notes, or its
               obligation to make LIBOR Loans, or change the basis of taxation
               of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement or its
               Notes in respect of any LIBOR Loans (other than franchise taxes
               and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank);

                     (B)  shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve,
               special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than
               reserve requirements, if any, taken into account in the
               determination of the LIBOR Rate) relating to any extensions of
               credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other
               liabilities or commitments of, such Bank, including the Revolving
               Commitment of such Bank hereunder; or

                     (C)  shall impose on such Bank or on the London interbank
               market any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Notes
               or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or
               commitments;

          and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
          Bank of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining any LIBOR
          Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Bank under
          this Agreement or its Notes with respect to any LIBOR Loans, then
          Borrower shall pay to such Bank on demand such amount or amounts as
          will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.  If
          any Bank requests compensation by Borrower under this Section 2.7,
          Borrower may, by notice to such Bank (with a copy to Agent), suspend
          the obligation of such Bank to make or continue LIBOR Loans, or to
          convert all or part of the Base Rate Loan owing to such Bank to LIBOR
          Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases
          to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.7(c) shall
          be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the
                          --------
          right of such Bank to receive the compensation so requested.

               (ii)  If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall have determined
          that the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding
          capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or
          administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or
          comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
          thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
          (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental
          authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the
          effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or
          any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of such Bank's
          obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such

                                       22
<PAGE>

          corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
          request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
          respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand
          Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as
          will compensate such Bank for such reduction.

               (iii)  Each Bank shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent of any
          event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof,
          which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section
          2.7(c) will designate a separate lending office, if applicable, if
          such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
          such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be
          otherwise disadvantageous to it.  Any Bank claiming compensation under
          this Section 2.7(c) shall furnish to Borrower and Agent a statement
          setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
          hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
          In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging
          and attribution methods.

               (iv)   Any Bank giving notice to the Borrower through the Agent,
          pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall give to the Borrowers a statement
          signed by an officer of such Bank setting forth in reasonable detail
          the basis for, and the calculation of such additional cost, reduced
          payments or capital requirements, as the case may be, and the
          additional amounts required to compensate such Bank therefor.

               (v)    Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the
          Borrower of any notice referred to in Section 2.7(c), the Borrowers
          shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Bank issuing such notice
          such additional amounts as are required to compensate such Bank for
          the increased cost, reduce payments or increase capital requirements
          identified therein, as the case may be; provided, that the Borrower
          shall not be obligated to compensate such Bank for any increased
          costs, reduced payments or increased capital requirements to the
          extent that such Bank incurs the same prior to a date six (6) months
          before such Bank gives the required notice.

          (d)  Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any
               ------------------------------------------
     provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled
     to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any
     manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of
     this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each  Bank
     had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan through the purchase of
     deposits having a maturity corresponding to the last day of the LIBOR
     Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan and bearing an interest rate
     to the applicable interest rate for such LIBOR Period.

          (e)  Breakage Fees.   Without duplication under any other provision
               -------------
     hereof, if any Bank incurs any loss, cost or expense (including, without
     limitation, any loss of profit and loss, cost, expense or premium
     reasonably incurred by reason of the liquidation or

                                       23
<PAGE>

     re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or
     maintain any LIBOR Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or
     amounts paid or prepaid to the Banks) as a result of any of the following
     events other than any such occurrence as a result in the change of
     circumstances described in Sections 2.7(a) and 2.7(b):

               (i)    any payment, prepayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan on a
          date other than the last day of its LIBOR Interest Period (whether by
          acceleration, prepayment or otherwise);

               (ii)   any failure to make a principal payment of a LIBOR Loan on
          the due date thereof; or

               (iii)  any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue, prepay or
          convert to a LIBOR Loan on the dates specified in a notice given
          pursuant to Section 2(b) or 4(c) hereof;

     then the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount as will reimburse such
     Bank for such loss, cost or expense.  If any Bank makes such a claim for
     compensation, it shall furnish to Borrower and Agent a statement setting
     forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail
     (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such
     loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such statement shall be
     conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

     2.8  Repayment of Advances and Interest Thereon.  During the Commitment
          ------------------------------------------
Period, accrued and unpaid interest on the Note shall be due and payable monthly
in arrears commencing on the first day of March, 2000, and continuing on the
first day of each month thereafter while any Loan Balance remains outstanding,
the payment in each instance to be the amount of interest which has accrued and
remains unpaid.  The principal amount of the Note together with any accrued but
unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, if there
has not been an Event of Default which has resulted in all Obligations becoming
immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement or
before the Maturity Date if there has been an Event of Default which has
resulted in all Obligations becoming immediately due and payable in accordance
with Section 8.2 of this Agreement.

     2.9  Advances and Payments on Note.  Each Bank is irrevocably authorized by
          -----------------------------
the Borrower to account for advances, payments, prepayments, etc. by any
appropriate method with its customary  documentation or other evidence thereof
delivered  to the Borrower within a reasonable time after each such advance,
payment, prepayment, etc.  The outstanding principal balance reflected by the
accounting method utilized by each Bank shall be deemed rebuttably presumptive
evidence of the principal amount owing on such Bank's Note.  Interest provided
for herein shall be calculated on unpaid sums actually advanced and outstanding
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and only for the period from the date or
dates of such Advances until repayment. The liability for payment of principal
and interest evidenced by the Note shall be limited to principal amounts
actually advanced

                                       24
<PAGE>

and outstanding pursuant to this Agreement and interest on such amounts
calculated in accordance with this Agreement.

     2.10  Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the right at any
           ---------------------
time or from time to time to prepay without premium or penalty, all or any part
of the Loan Balance outstanding on the Notes pertaining to a Base Rate Loan;
provided, however, that no such prepayment shall, until all Obligations are
-----------------
fully paid and satisfied, excuse the payment as it becomes due of any payment
provided for herein.  All prepayments made pursuant to this Section shall be
applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the Loan Balance.
Borrower shall not prepay any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the applicable 30,
60, or 90 day period.

     2.11  Non-Use Fees. In addition to interest on the Notes as provided
           ------------
herein, in order to compensate Banks for maintaining funds available for
Borrower, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Banks, a "Non-
Use Fee" each quarter during the Commitment Period.  The Non-Use Fee rate shall
be determined based on Borrower's ratio of Funded Debt to Cash Flow as
calculated in the quarterly Compliance Certificate provided to the Bank.  The
Non-Use Fee applicable hereto is set forth in the definition of Applicable
Percentage.

     2.12  Letter of Credit Fees.  In addition to interest on the Notes as
           ---------------------
provided herein, to compensate the Banks for issuing any Letters of Credit, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks a fee for
such issuance pursuant to the following schedule:

                                       25
<PAGE>

               .    1.25% of the face amount of the Letter of Credit per annum,
                    payable upon issuance and on each anniversary thereafter.
                    The minimum fee shall be $75.00 for each 90 days the Letter
                    of Credit is outstanding.

               .    $60.00 issuance fee

               .    $40.00 fee to amend a Letter of Credit

               .    $25.00 fee if the Letter of Credit is invoiced rather than
                    debited to Borrower's account(s).

          (b)  Commercial Letter of Credit

               .    0.25% of the face amount of the Letter of Credit for each
                    90 days the Letter of Credit is outstanding, payable upon
                    issuance of the Letter of Credit ($75.00 minimum).

          (c)  Other Letter of Credit Fees

               .    $40.00 minimum fee to increase or extend any Letter of
                    Credit

     2.13 Commitment Fees.  In addition to interest on the Notes and in
          ---------------
order to compensate Lender for committing to maintain additional funds available
to Borrower, on or before closing, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable
benefit of Banks, a commitment fee in the amount of $75,000.00.

     2.14 Cash Collateral Account.
          -----------------------

          (a)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and demand by Agent
     pursuant to Section 8.2, Borrower will promptly pay to Agent in immediately
     available funds an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligations.  Any
     amounts so received by Agent shall be deposited by Agent in a deposit
     account maintained by Agent (the "Cash Collateral Account").

          (b)  As security for the payment of all Reimbursement Obligations and
     for all other Obligations, Borrower hereby grants, convey, assigns,
     pledges, sets over and transfer to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks,
     and create in Agent's favor a lien and security interest in, all money,
     instruments and securities at any time held in or acquired in connection
     with

                                       26
<PAGE>

     the Cash Collateral Account, together with all proceeds thereof. The Cash
     Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Agent,
     and Borrower shall have no right to withdraw or to cause Agent to withdraw
     any funds deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. At any time and from
     time to time, upon Agent's request, Borrower promptly shall execute and
     deliver any and all such further instruments and documents, including UCC
     financing statements, as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable in
     Agent's judgment to obtain the full benefits (including perfection and
     priority) of the security interest created or intended to be created by
     this section and of the rights and powers herein granted. Borrower shall
     not create or suffer to exist any lien on any amounts or investments held
     in the Cash Collateral Account other than the lien granted under this
     Section.

          (c)  Agent shall (i) apply any funds in the Cash Collateral Account on
     account of Reimbursement Obligations when the same become due and payable
     if and to the extent that Borrower shall fail directly to pay such
     Reimbursement Obligations and (ii) after the date on which the Revolving
     Commitment of Agent shall have terminated, all Letters of Credit shall have
     expired, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, apply
     any proceeds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account first to pay any
                                                           -----
     unpaid Obligations then outstanding hereunder and then to refund any
                                                       ----
     remaining amount to Borrower.

          (d)  Borrower, no more than once in any calendar month, may direct
     Agent to invest the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account (so long as
     the aggregate amount of such funds exceeds any relevant minimum investment
     requirement) in (i) direct obligations of the United States or any agency
     thereof, or obligations guaranteed by the United States or any agency
     thereof and (ii) one or more other types of investments permitted by Agent,
     in each case with such maturities as Borrower, with the consent of Agent,
     may specify, pending application of such funds on account of Reimbursement
     Obligations or on account of other Obligations, as the case may be.  In the
     absence of any such direction from Borrower, Agent shall invest the funds
     held in the Cash Collateral Account (so long as the aggregate amount of
     such funds exceeds any relevant minimum investment requirement) in one or
     more types of investments with such maturities as Agent may determine,
     pending application of such funds on account of Reimbursement Obligations
     or on account of such other Obligations, as the case may be.  All such
     investments shall be made in the Agent's name for the account of Agent.
     Borrower recognizes that any losses or taxes with respect to such
     investments shall be borne solely by Borrower, and Borrower agrees to hold
     Agent harmless from any such losses or taxes.  Agent may liquidate any
     investment held in the Cash Collateral Account in order to apply the
     proceeds of such investment on account of the Reimbursement Obligations (or
     on account of any other Obligation then due and payable as the case may be)
     without regard to whether such investment has matured and without liability
     for any penalty or other fee incurred (with respect to which Borrower
     hereby agrees to reimburse Agent) as a result of such application.

     2.15  General Provisions Relating to Interest.  It is the intention of
           ---------------------------------------
the parties hereto to comply strictly with any applicable usury laws as in
effect from time to time and, in this regard, there shall never be taken,
received, contracted for, collected, charged or received on any sums advanced
hereunder interest in excess of that which would accrue at the Highest Lawful
Rate.

     If, under any circumstances, the aggregate amounts paid on the Notes or
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document include amounts which by law are
deemed interest and which would exceed the amount permitted if the Highest
Lawful Rate were in effect, the Borrower stipulates that such payment and
collection will have been and will be deemed to have been, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable laws of the State of Oklahoma or the United States of
America, the result of mathematical error on the part of the Borrower and any
Bank; and any such Bank shall promptly credit the amount of such excess to the
principal amount of the outstanding Obligations, or if the principal amount of
the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund the amount of such excess
to the Borrower (to the extent only of such interest payments in excess of that
which would have accrued and been payable on the basis of the Highest Lawful
Rate) upon discovery of such error by such Bank or notice thereof from the
Borrower.

     If the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the
Banks resulting from any Event of Default or otherwise, or in the event of any
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under applicable
laws may never include amounts which are more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and
the amount of such excess, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
shall be canceled automatically by the Banks as of the date of such acceleration
or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Banks on the
principal amount of the Obligations, or if the principal amount of the
Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Banks to the Borrower.

     All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Banks for the use, forbearance
and detention of the proceeds of any Advance hereunder shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full term hereof until paid in full so that the actual rate of
interest is uniform but does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the
full term hereof.

                                  ARTICLE III
                                  -----------

                                  ----------

 4   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
     ------------------------------

     To induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to make the Advances,
the Borrower represents and warrants to the Banks (which representations and
warranties shall survive the delivery of the Notes) that:

      4.1 Due Authorization and Corporate Existence.  The execution and delivery
          -----------------------------------------
by the Borrower of this Agreement and the Borrowings hereunder; the execution
and delivery by the Borrower of the Notes; the repayment of the Notes and
interest and fees provided for in the Notes and this Agreement; the performance
of all obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents are within the power
of the Borrower and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
of the Borrower.  The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, legally existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all states in
which it is doing business except where failure to be so qualified will not have
a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.2 Consents, Conflicts and Creation of Liens.   The execution and
          -----------------------------------------
delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance (except upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default) of the obligations of the Borrower
thereunder do not and will not (a) require the consent of any Governmental
Authority, (b) contravene or conflict with any Requirement of Law which
contravention or conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) contravene
or conflict with any indenture, instrument or other agreement to which the
Borrower is a party or by which any Property of the Borrower may be presently
bound or encumbered, or (d) result in or require the creation or imposition of
any Lien in, upon or of any Property of the Borrower under any such indenture,
instrument or other agreement, other than the Loan Documents.

      4.3 Valid and Binding Obligations.  All of the Loan Documents, when duly
          -----------------------------
executed and delivered by the Borrower, will be the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower by the Banks in
accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by equitable
principles and applicable liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, moratorium,
arrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws from time-
to-time affecting the rights of creditors generally.

      4.4 Title to Assets.  The Borrower has defensible title to all of its
          ---------------
Properties, free and clear of all Liens and such defects in title that
individually or in the aggregate would cause a Material Adverse Effect except
Permitted Liens.

      4.5 Scope and Accuracy of Financial Statements.  The Financial Statements
          ------------------------------------------
of the Borrower, as of September 30, 1999 present fairly the financial position
and results of operations of the Borrower as at the relevant point in time or
for the period indicated.  No event or circumstance has occurred since September
30, 1999 which would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       32
<PAGE>

      4.6  Liabilities, Litigation, and Restrictions. Other than as disclosed on
           -----------------------------------------
the Financial Statements of the Borrower dated September 30, 1999, the Borrower
has no liabilities, direct or contingent, which may materially and adversely
affect its business. Except as set forth under the heading "Litigation" on
Exhibit D hereto, no Litigation of any nature affecting the Borrower is pending
before any Tribunal or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against or affecting the Borrower which might reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, after due
inquiry, no unusual or unduly burdensome restriction, restraint or hazard exists
by contract, Requirement of Law, or otherwise relative to the material business
operations of the Borrower other than such as relate generally to Persons
engaged in business activities similar to those conducted by the Borrower.

      4.7  Authorizations and Consents. Except as expressly contemplated by this
           ---------------------------
Agreement, no authorization, consent, approval, exemption, franchise, permit or
license of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority, Tribunal or any other
Person is required to authorize or is otherwise required in connection with the
valid execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, or any
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment by the Borrower of the
Note and the interest and fees provided in the Note and this Agreement, or the
performance (except in the Event of Default) by the Borrower of the Obligations.

      4.8  Compliance with Laws.  To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, the
           --------------------
Borrower and its Property are in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, Environmental
Laws, and ERISA, except such noncompliance that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

      4.9  Proper Filing of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes Due.  The Borrower
           -----------------------------------------------------
has duly and properly filed its United States income tax return and all other
tax returns which are required to be filed by the Borrower and has paid all
taxes due except such as are being Contested in Good Faith and as to which
adequate provisions and disclosures have been made.  The charges and reserves of
the Borrower with respect to taxes and other governmental charges are adequate,
and the Borrower has no knowledge of any deficiency or additional assessment in
a material amount in connection with taxes, assessments, or charges not provided
for on its books.

      4.10 ERISA.  To the extent applicable, the Borrower is in compliance
           -----
in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA.  No Reportable
Event, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, has
occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Single Employer Plan
has complied with and been administered in all material respects in accordance
with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code.  To the best knowledge of the
Borrower, (a) no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Multiemployer
Plan, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
(b) each Multiemployer Plan has complied with and been administered in all
material respects with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code.  The present
value of all benefits vested under each Single Employer Plan maintained by the
Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on the assumptions used to
fund such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable
thereto, exceed, to any material extent, the value of the assets of such Plan
allocable to such vested benefits.  Neither the Borrower nor any

                                       33
<PAGE>

Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan for which there is, to any material extent, any withdrawal
liability. As of the most recent valuation date applicable to any Multiemployer
Plan, neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become
subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or Commonly Controlled
Entity were to withdraw completely from such Multiemployer Plan, which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower
nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has received notice that any Multiemployer
Plan is Insolvent or in Reorganization. To the best knowledge of the Borrower,
no such Insolvency or Reorganization is reasonably likely to occur. Based upon
GAAP existing as of the date of this Agreement and current factual
circumstances, the Borrower has no reason to believe that the annual cost during
the term of this Agreement to the Borrower and all Commonly Controlled Entities
for post-retirement benefits to be provided to the current and former employees
of the Borrower and all Commonly Controlled Entities under Plans which are
welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) will, in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.11 Environmental Laws.  To the best knowledge and belief of the
           ------------------
Borrower, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or as described on
Exhibit D under the  heading "Environmental Matters" or "Litigation";

           (a) no Property of the Borrower is currently on or has ever been on,
     or is adjacent to any Property which is on or has ever been on, any federal
     or state list of Superfund Sites;

           (b) no Hazardous Substances have been generated, transported and/or
     disposed of by the Borrower at a site which was, at the time of such
     generation, transportation and/or disposal, or has since become, a
     Superfund Site;

           (c) except in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law or the
     terms of a valid permit, license, certificate or approval of the relevant
     Governmental Authority, no Release of Hazardous Substances by the Borrower
     or from, affecting or related to any Property of the Borrower or adjacent
     to any Property of the Borrower has occurred; and

           (d) no Environmental Complaint has been received by the Borrower.

      4.12 Investment Company Act Compliance.  The Borrower is not, directly
           ---------------------------------
or indirectly, controlled by or acting on behalf of any Person which is, an
"investment company" or an "affiliated person" of an "investment company" within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which control or
action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.13 Public Utility Holding Company Act Compliance.  The Borrower is
           ---------------------------------------------
not a "holding company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or a
"subsidiary company" of a "holding company," within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, which, as a result thereof,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       34
<PAGE>

      4.14 No Material Misstatements.  To the Borrower's knowledge, no
           -------------------------
information, exhibit, statement or report furnished to the Bank by or at the
direction of the Borrower in connection with this Agreement contains any
material misstatement of fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements contained therein not misleading as of the date made or
deemed made.

      4.15 Casualties or Taking of Property.  Since June 30, 1996, neither
           --------------------------------
the business nor any Property of the Borrower has been materially adversely
affected as a result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought,
windstorm, accident, strike or other labor disturbance, embargo, requisition or
taking of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions by any
Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces or acts of God, which,
as a result thereof, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

      4.16 Locations of Business, Offices, and Property.  The principal
           --------------------------------------------
place of business and chief executive office of the Borrower is located at the
address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.3 or at such other location as
the Borrower may have, by proper written notice hereunder, advised the Bank.

      4.17 Subsidiaries.  The Borrower has several Subsidiaries as described
           ------------
on Exhibit F attached hereto.

                                   ARTICLE V
                                   ---------

 5   AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
     ---------------------

        A deviation from the provisions of this Section 5 shall not constitute a
Default or Event of Default under this Agreement if such deviation is consented
to in writing by the required percentage of the Banks prior to the date of
deviation.  The Borrower will at all times comply with the covenants contained
in this Section 5 from the date hereof and for so long as the Revolving
Commitment is in existence or any amount is owed to the Agent or the Banks under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents:

      5.1 Maintenance and Access to Records.  Maintain records adequate to
          ---------------------------------
determine its true and complete financial condition at any time.  Within five
(5) Business Days after Borrower receives a written request from the Agent to
inspect records, specifying the nature of the records and the purpose of the
desired inspection, Borrower shall make the appropriate records available for
the Agent's review at Borrower's offices during Borrower's customary business
hours.  The Borrower shall honor the Agent's reasonable request to make copies
of such records and remove them from Borrower's offices unless the Borrower
deems those records to be proprietary or privileged information.

      5.2 Annual Financial Statements.  Deliver to the Agent, (a) on or before
          ---------------------------

audited Financial Statements and 10-K statement, and (b) concurrent with (a)
above, a Compliance Certificate executed by Borrower's Responsible Officer
stating that such Officer, after due inquiry, has no knowledge of a Default or
Event of Default and

                                       35

and (b) concurrent with (a) above, a Compliance Certificate executed by
Borrower's Responsible Officer after due diligence and to the best of such
officer's knowledge that no default as set forth in Section 8 herein has
occurred and is continuing or whether there exists any event which might, with
the passage of time or otherwise, might become an Event of Default.  If such an
Event of Default exists, the certificate must specify the steps being taken to
rectify the situation.

      5.4 Annual Budget.  Deliver to Agent on or before December 31 of each year
          -------------
an annual budget for the upcoming year.

      5.5 Notices of Certain Events.  Deliver to the Agent, immediately upon a

     obligation of the Borrower, or any material new Litigation, affecting the

     amount involved is $250,000.00 or more and which is not covered by
     insurance, and (ii) in which injunctive or similar relief is sought which

     dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration
     of maturity or other notice of any kind, except as may be provided to the
     contrary elsewhere herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
     Borrower, and (ii) the Commitment shall immediately cease and terminate
     unless and until reinstated by the Majority Banks in writing, and in such
     event, the Banks are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
     without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by
     the Borrower), to set-off and apply any and all deposits of the Borrower

     Bank, except to the extent any such deposits contain funds of persons other
     than Borrower, or Borrower's subsidiaries and any and all other
     indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for the credit or account
     of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations.

          (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section
     8.1(a), Borrower shall have five (5) days after receiving written

     cure period, the Bank will not, as a result of such Default, accelerate the
     Note or exercise any of its rights pursuant to the Loan Documents, and

     of Default", unless such Default is not remedied to the reasonable
     satisfaction of Bank within five days after Borrower's receipt of such

     and until reinstated by the Majority Banks in writing, and in such event,
     the Banks are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without
     notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the

     specified in Subsections 8.1(a), (g), (h), (l) or (n) Borrower shall have
     thirty (30) days after receiving written notification of the Event of
     Default to cure such Default but, during such cure period, the Bank will
     not, as a result of such Default, accelerate the Note or exercise any of
     its rights pursuant to the Loan Documents, and notwithstanding subsection
     8.1, such Default will not constitute an "Event of Default", unless such
     Default is not remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of Bank within 30
     days after Borrower's receipt of such written notification.  In the event
     Borrower shall fail to effectuate such a cure Banks may declare all
     Obligations immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
     protest, notice of protest, default or dishonor, notice of intent to
     accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity or other notice of
     any kind, except as may be provided to the contrary elsewhere herein, all
     of which are hereby expressly waived by the

                                       45
<PAGE>

     Borrower, and the Commitment shall immediately cease and terminate unless
     and until reinstated by the Majority Banks in writing, and in such event,
     the Banks are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without
     notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the
     Borrower), to set-off and apply any and all deposits containing funds of
     the Borrower (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
     held by the Banks, and any and all other indebtedness at any time owing by
     the Banks to or for the credit or account of the Borrower against any and
     all of the Obligations although such Obligations may be unmatured.

          (d) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the occurrence
     of any Event of Default the Banks may, in addition to the foregoing,
     exercise any or all of its rights and remedies provided by law or pursuant
     to the Loan Documents.

                                  ARTICLE IX
                                  ----------

 9   THE AGENT AND THE BANKS
     -----------------------

      9.1 Appointment and Authorization.  Each Bank hereby appoints Agent as its
          -----------------------------
nominee and agent, in its name and on its behalf: (i) to act as nominee for and
on behalf of such Bank in and under all Loan Documents; (ii) to arrange the
means whereby the funds of Banks are to be made available to the Borrower under
the Loan Documents; (iii) to take such action as may be requested by any Bank
under the Loan Documents (when such Bank is entitled to make such request under
the Loan Documents); (iv) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to
Banks under the Loan Documents; (v) to be the secured party, mortgagee,
beneficiary, and similar party in respect of, and to receive, as the case may
be, any collateral for the benefit of Banks; (vi) to promptly distribute to each
Bank all material information, requests, documents and items received from the
Borrower under the Loan Documents; (vii) to promptly distribute to each Bank
such Bank's Pro Rata Part of each payment or prepayment (whether voluntary, as
proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Documents and (viii) to deliver to the appropriate Persons requests,
demands, approvals and consents received from Banks.  Each Bank hereby
authorizes Agent to take all actions and to exercise such powers under the Loan
Documents as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto. With respect to
its commitments hereunder and the Notes issued to it, Agent and any successor
Agent shall have the same rights under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and
may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term "Bank" or
"Banks" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Agent and any
successor Agent in its capacity as a Bank.  Agent and any successor Agent and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower,
and any person which may do business with the Borrower, all as if Agent and any
successor Agent was not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Banks; provided that, if any payments in respect of any property (or the
proceeds thereof) now or hereafter in the possession or control of Agent which
may be or become security for the obligations of the Borrower arising under the
Loan Documents by reason of the general description of indebtedness secured or
of property contained in any other agreements, documents or instruments related
to any such other business shall be applied to reduction of the obligations of
the Borrowers arising under the Loan Documents, then each Bank shall be entitled
to

                                       46
<PAGE>

share in such application according to its pro rata part thereof. Each Bank,
upon request of any other Bank, shall disclose to all other Banks all
indebtedness and liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Borrowers to such
Bank as of the time of such request.

      9.2 Note Holders.  From time to time as other Banks become a party to this
          ------------
Agreement, Agent shall obtain execution by the Borrower of additional Notes in
amounts representing the Commitment of each such new Bank, up to an aggregate
face amount of all Notes not exceeding $100,000,000.  The obligation of such
Bank shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement, including but not
limited to, the obligations specified in Section 2 hereof.  From time to time,
Agent may require that the Banks exchange their Notes for newly issued Notes to
better reflect the Commitments of the Banks.  Agent may treat the payee of any
Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer has been filed with
it, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Agent.

      9.3 Consultation with Counsel.  Banks agree that Agent may consult with
          -------------------------
legal counsel selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

      9.4 Documents.  Agent shall not be under a duty to examine or pass upon
          ---------
the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness or value of any of the
Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or
in connection therewith, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are
valid, effective, enforceable and genuine and what they purport to be.

      9.5 Resignation or Removal of Agent.  Subject to the appointment and
          -------------------------------
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time
by giving written notice thereof to Banks and the Borrowers, and Agent may be
removed at any time with or without cause by all Banks. If no successor Agent
has been so appointed by all Banks (and approved by the Borrowers) and has
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of
notice of resignation or removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent
may, on behalf of Banks, appoint a successor Agent.  Any successor Agent must be
approved by Borrowers, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  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
and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent, shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.  To be eligible to be an
Agent hereunder the party serving, or to serve, in such capacity must own a Pro
Rata Part of the Commitments equal to the level of Commitment required to be
held by any Bank pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof.

      9.6 Responsibility of Agent.  It is expressly understood and agreed that
          -----------------------
the obligations of Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents as to each and that Agent, shall be entitled to
assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
unless Agent has actual knowledge of such fact or has received notice from a
Bank or the Borrower that such Bank or the Borrower considers that a Default or
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature
thereof.  Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers,

                                       47
<PAGE>

attorneys or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall not incur
liability under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by
it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or
with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable
exercise of its judgment, or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable.

     Agent shall not be responsible to Banks for any of the Borrower's recitals,
statements, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan
Documents, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by any Bank under, the Loan Documents, or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of or any of
the Loan Documents or for any failure by the Borrower to perform any of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder.  Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-
fact and shall not be answerable, except as to money or securities received by
it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

     The relationship between Agent and each Bank is only that of agent and
principal and has no fiduciary aspects.  Nothing in the Loan Documents or
elsewhere shall be construed to impose on Agent any duties or responsibilities
other than those for which express provision is therein made.  In performing its
duties and functions hereunder, Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to
have assumed, and hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility
toward or any relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of
its beneficiaries or other creditors.  As to any matters not expressly provided
for by the Loan Documents, 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 all Banks and such instructions shall be binding upon
all Banks and all holders of the Notes; provided, however, that Agent shall not
be required to take any action which is contrary to the Loan Documents or
applicable law.

     Agent shall have the right to exercise or refrain from exercising, without
notice or liability to the Banks, any and all rights afforded to Agent by the
Loan Documents or which Agent may have as a matter of law; provided, however,
Agent shall not, without the consent of Majority Banks, take any other action
with regard to amending the Loan Documents, waiving any default under the Loan
Documents or taking any other action with respect to the Loan Documents which
requires consent of all Banks.  Provided further, however, that no amendment,
waiver, or other action shall be effected pursuant to the preceding clause
without the consent of all Banks which: (i) would reduce any fees hereunder, or
the principal of, or the interest on, any Bank's Note or Notes, (ii) would
postpone any date fixed for any payment of any fees hereunder, or any principal
or interest of any Bank's Note or Notes, (iii) would materially increase any
Bank's obligations hereunder or would materially alter Agent's obligations to
any Bank hereunder, (iv) would release Borrower from its obligation to pay any
Bank's Note or Notes, (v) would change the definition of Banks or Majority
Banks, (vi) would amend, modify or change any provision of this Agreement
requiring the consent of all the Banks, (vii) would waive any of the conditions
precedent to the Effective Date or the making of any Loan or issuance of any
Letter of Credit or (viii) would extend the Maturity Date or (ix) would amend
this sentence or the previous sentence, (x) waive Section 7.2 of this Agreement
unless such waiver is necessary in order for Majority Banks to compel a positive
pledge

                                       48
<PAGE>

under Section 5.17 of this Agreement. Agent shall not have liability to Banks
for failure or delay in exercising any right or power possessed by Agent
pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise unless such failure or delay is
caused by the gross negligence of the Agent, in which case only the Agent
responsible for such gross negligence shall have liability therefor to the
Banks.

      9.7  Independent Investigation.  Each Bank severally represents and
           -------------------------
warrants to Agent that it has made its own independent investigation and
assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection
with the making and continuation of its participation hereunder and has not
relied exclusively on any information provided to such Bank by Agent in
connection herewith, and each Bank represents, warrants and undertakes to Agent
that it shall continue to make its own independent appraisal of the credit
worthiness of the Borrower while the Notes are outstanding or its commitments
hereunder are in force.  Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as
to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or
books of the Borrower.  Other than as provided in this Agreement, Agent shall
not have any duty, responsibility or liability to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or
business of the Borrowers which may come into the possession of Agent.

      9.8  Indemnification. Banks agree to indemnify Agent, ratably according to
           ---------------
their respective Commitments on a Pro Rata basis, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any proper and reasonable kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or
omitted by Agent under the Loan Documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each Bank shall be entitled to
be reimbursed by the Agent for any amount such Bank paid to Agent under this
Section 9(h) to the extent the Agent has been reimbursed for such payments by
the Borrower or any other Person. The parties intend for the provisions of this
Section to apply to and protect the Agent from the consequences of any liability
including strict liability imposed or threatened to be imposed on Agent as well
as from the consequences of its own negligence, whether or not that negligence
is the sole, contributing or concurring cause of any such liability.

      9.9  Benefit of Section 9.  The agreements contained in this Section 9 are
           --------------------
solely for the benefit of Agent and the Banks and are not for the benefit of, or
to be relied upon by, the Borrower, any affiliate of the Borrower or any other
person.

      9.10 Pro Rata Treatment.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
           ------------------
each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower and collection by Banks
(including offsets) on account of the principal of and interest on the Notes and
fees provided for in this Agreement, payable by the Borrower shall be made Pro
Rata; provided, however, in the event that any Defaulting Bank shall have failed
to make an Advance as contemplated under Section 2 hereof and Agent or another
Bank or Banks shall have made such Advance, payment received by Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Bank or Banks shall not be distributed to such
Defaulting Bank or Banks until such Advance or Advances shall have been repaid
in full to the Bank or Banks who funded such Advance or Advances. In the event,
collateral is pledged

                                       49
<PAGE>

to secure the Obligations pursuant to Section 5.17 or otherwise, Agent shall
hold such collateral, and any proceeds resulting from the sale thereof, for the
Pro Rata benefit of all Banks.

      9.11     Assumption as to Payments.  Except as specifically provided
               -------------------------
herein, unless Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not
make such payment in full, Agent may, but shall not be required to, assume that
the Borrower has made such payment in full to Agent on such date and Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank.  If and to the extent
the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Agent, each Bank
shall repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to Agent,
at the interest rate applicable to such portion of the Loan.

      9.12     Other Financings.  Without limiting the rights to which any Bank
               ----------------
otherwise is or may become entitled, such Bank shall have no interest, by virtue
of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, in (a) any present or future loans
from, letters of credit issued by, or leasing or other financial transactions
by, any other Bank to, on behalf of, or with the Borrower (collectively referred
to herein as "Other Financings") other than the obligations hereunder; (b) any
present or future guarantees by or for the account of the Borrower which are not
contemplated by the Loan Documents; (c) any present or future property taken as
security for any such Other Financings; or (d) any property now or hereafter in
the possession or control of any other Bank which may be or become security for
the obligations of the Borrower arising under any loan document by reason of the
general description of indebtedness secured or property contained in any other
agreements, documents or instruments relating to any such Other Financings.

      9.13     Interests of Banks.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
               ------------------
to create a partnership or joint venture between Banks for any purpose.  Agent,
Banks and the Borrower recognize that the respective obligations of Banks under
the Revolving Commitment shall be several and not joint and that neither Agent
nor any of Banks shall be responsible or liable to perform any of the
obligations of the other under this Agreement.  Each Bank is deemed to be the
owner of an undivided interest in and to all rights, titles, benefits and
interests belonging and accruing to Agent under the Security Instruments,
including, without limitation, liens and security interests in any collateral,
fees and payments of principal and interest by the Borrowers under the Revolving
Commitment on a Pro Rata basis.  Each Bank shall perform all duties and
obligations of Banks under this Agreement in the same proportion as its
ownership interest in the Loans outstanding at the date of determination
thereof.

      9.14     Investments.  Whenever Agent in good faith determines that it is
               -----------
uncertain about how to distribute to Banks any funds which it has received, or
whenever Agent in good faith determines that there is any dispute among the
Banks about how such funds should be distributed, Agent may choose to defer
distribution of the funds which are the subject of such uncertainty or dispute.
If Agent in good faith believes that the uncertainty or dispute will not be
promptly resolved, or if Agent is otherwise required to invest funds pending
distribution to the Banks, Agent may invest such funds pending distribution (at
the risk of the Borrower).  All interest on any such investment shall be
distributed upon the distribution

                                       50
<PAGE>

of such investment and in the same proportions and to the same Persons as such
investment. All monies received by Agent for distribution to the Banks (other
than to the Person who is Agent in its separate capacity as a Bank) shall be
held by the Agent pending such distribution solely as Agent for such Banks, and
Agent shall have no equitable title to any portion thereof.

 10   MISCELLANEOUS
      -------------

      10.1 Transfers and Participations.
           ----------------------------

           (a) Each Bank shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer all or
     any part of its Note or Notes, its Commitments and its rights and
     obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates, Banks, financial
     institutions, pension plans, insurance companies, investment funds, or
     similar Persons who are Eligible Assignees or to a Federal Reserve Bank;
     provided, that in connection with each sale, assignment or transfer (other
     --------
     than to an Affiliate, a Bank or a Federal Reserve Bank), the applicable
     Bank will consider the opinion and recommendation of Borrower, which
     opinion and recommendation shall in no way be binding upon such Bank, and
     each such sale, assignment, or transfer (other than to an Affiliate, a Bank
     or a Federal Reserve Bank), shall require the consent of Agent, which
     consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and the assignee, transferee or
     recipient shall have, to the extent of such sale, assignment, or transfer,
     the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were such Bank
     and a holder of such Note, Commitments and rights and obligations,
     including, without limitation, the right to vote on decisions requiring
     consent or approval of all Banks or Majority Banks and the obligation to
     fund its Commitments; provided, further, that (1) each such sale,
     assignment, or transfer (other than to an Affiliate, a Bank or a Federal
     Reserve Bank) shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than
     $5,000,000, (2) each remaining Bank shall at all times maintain Commitments
     then outstanding in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to
     $5,000,000; (3) each such sale, assignment or transfer shall be of a Pro
     Rata portion of such Bank's Revolving Commitment, (4) no Bank may offer to
     sell its Note or Notes, Commitments, rights and obligations or interests
     therein in violation of any securities laws; and (5) no such assignments
     (other than to a Federal Reserve Bank) shall become effective until the
     assigning Bank and its assignee delivers to Agent and Borrower an
     Assignment and Acceptance and the Note or Notes subject to such assignment
     and other documents evidencing any such assignment. An assignment fee in
     the amount of $5,000 for each such assignment (other than to an Affiliate,
     a Bank or the Federal Reserve Bank) will be payable to Agent by assignor or
     assignee.  Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of copies of the
     Assignment and Acceptance and the other documents relating thereto and the
     Note or Notes, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent (for
     delivery to the relevant assignee) a new Note or Notes evidencing such
     assignee's assigned Commitments and if the assignor Bank has retained a
     portion of its Commitments, a replacement Note in the principal amount of
     the Commitments retained by the assignor (except as provided in the last
     sentence of this paragraph (a) such Note or Notes to be in exchange for,
     but not in payment of, the Note or Notes held by such Bank).  On and after
     the effective date of an assignment hereunder, the

                                       51
<PAGE>

     assignee shall for all purposes be a Bank, party to this Agreement and any
     other Loan Document executed by the Banks and shall have all the rights and
     obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it
     were an original party thereto, and no further consent or action by
     Borrower, Banks or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor
     Bank with respect to its Commitments assigned to such assignee and the
     transferor Bank shall henceforth be so released.

          (b) Each Bank shall have the right to grant participations in all or
     any part of such Bank's Notes and Commitments hereunder to financial
     institutions, provided, that:

          (c) each Bank granting a participation shall retain the right to vote
     hereunder, and no participant shall be entitled to vote hereunder on
     decisions requiring consent or approval of Bank or Majority Banks (except
     as set forth in (iii) below);

          (d) in the event any Bank grants a participation hereunder, such
     Bank's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such
     Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
     performance of such obligations, such Bank shall remain the holder of any
     such Note or Notes for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and Agent,
     each Bank and Borrower shall be entitled to deal with the Bank granting a
     participation in the same manner as if no participation had been granted;
     and

          (e) no participant shall ever have any right by reason of its
     participation to exercise any of the rights of Banks hereunder, except that
     any Bank may agree with any participant that such Bank will not, without
     the consent of such participant (which consent may not be unreasonably
     withheld) consent to any amendment or waiver requiring approval of all
     Banks.

          (f) It is understood and agreed that any Bank may provide to assignees
     and participants and prospective assignees and participants financial
     information and reports and data concerning Borrower's properties and
     operations which was provided to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

          (g) Upon the reasonable request of either Agent or Borrower, each Bank
     will identify those to whom it has assigned or participated any part of its
     Notes and Commitment, and provide the amounts so assigned or participated.

          (h) Agent may not participate or sell an amount of its Revolving
     Commitment which shall reduce its Revolving Commitment Percentage to less
     than fifteen percent (15%).

     10.2 Indemnity.   The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
          ---------
the Banks and their respective officers, employees, agents, attorneys and
representatives (singularly, an "Indemnified Party", and collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or
expense (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to
the Banks, including all local counsel hired by such counsel) ("Claim") incurred
by the Banks in investigating or preparing for, defending against, or providing
evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect of

                                       52
<PAGE>

any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or
investigation under any federal securities law, federal or state environmental
law, or any other statute of any jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common
law or otherwise, which is alleged to arise out of or is based upon any acts,
practices or omissions or alleged acts, practices or omissions of the Borrower
or its agents or arises in connection with the duties, obligations or
performance of the Indemnified Parties in negotiating, preparing, executing,
accepting, keeping, completing, countersigning, issuing, selling, delivering,
releasing, assigning, handling, certifying, processing or receiving or taking
any other action with respect to the Loan Documents and all documents, items and
materials contemplated thereby even if any of the foregoing arises out of an
Indemnified Party's ordinary negligence. The indemnity set forth herein shall be
in addition to any other obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to the Banks
hereunder or at common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of
this Agreement, the expiration of the Loans and the payment of all indebtedness
of the Borrower to the Banks hereunder and under the Notes, provided that the
Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section to the Bank with respect to
any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Bank. If any Claim is asserted against any Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party shall endeavor to notify the Borrower of such Claim (but
failure to do so shall not affect the indemnification herein made except to the
extent of the actual harm caused by such failure). The Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ, at the Borrower's expense, counsel of the Indemnified
Parties' choosing and to control the defense of the Claim. The Borrower may at
its own expense also participate in the defense of any Claim. Each Indemnified
Party may employ separate counsel in connection with any Claim to the extent
such Indemnified Party believes it reasonably prudent to protect such
Indemnified Party. The parties intend for the provisions of this Section to
apply to and protect each Indemnified Party from the consequences of any
liability including strict liability imposed or threatened to be imposed on
Agent as well as from the consequences of its own negligence, whether or not
that negligence is the sole, contributing, or concurring cause of any Claim.

      10.3     Survival of Representations. Warranties and Covenants.  All
               -----------------------------------------------------
representations and warranties of the Borrower and all covenants and agreements
herein made shall survive the execution and delivery of the Notes and shall
remain in force and effect so long as any Obligation is outstanding or any
Commitment exists.

      10.4     Notices and Other Communications.  Except as to verbal notices
               --------------------------------
expressly authorized herein, which verbal notices shall be confirmed in writing,
all notices, requests and communications hereunder shall be in writing

      10.5     Parties in Interest.  Subject to applicable restrictions
               -------------------

      10.6     Rights of Third Parties.  All provisions herein are imposed
               -----------------------
solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Banks and the Borrower.  No other

waived in whole or in part by the Bank at any time if in its sole discretion it
deems it advisable to do so.

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

instrument as an entirety and without regard to the aforesaid division into
Articles and Sections and without regard to headings prefixed to such Articles

reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
of any Loan Document or of any other instrument referred to herein or executed
in connection with such Obligations.

      10.13    Amendments or Modifications.  Neither this Agreement nor any
               ---------------------------
provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but
only by an instrument in writing signed by both the Banks and the Borrower.

      10.14    Controlling Provision Upon Conflict.  In the event of a conflict
               -----------------------------------
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document,

      10.16    Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks (by
               --------------------
their acceptance hereof) hereby voluntarily, knowingly, irrevocably and

$_______________.00                                      Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
                                                            ______________, 2000

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned CMI CORPORATION, an Oklahoma
corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Borrower") hereby unconditionally,
jointly and severally, promises to pay to the order of _________________ (the
"Bank") at the offices of BANK OF OKLAHOMA, N.A. (the "Agent") in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, the principal sum of _________________________ AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($___________.00) or so much thereof as shall be advanced under the provisions
of the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined herein), in lawful money of the
United States of America together with interest from the date hereof until paid
at the rates specified in the Restated Credit Agreement.  All payments of
principal and interest due hereunder are payable at the offices of Agent at 201
Robert S. Kerr Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, or at such other address
as Bank shall designate in writing to Borrowers.

     The principal and all accrued interest on this Note shall be due and
payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Restated Credit
Agreement.

     This Note is executed pursuant to that certain Restated Credit Agreement
dated of even date herewith between Borrower and the Banks signatory thereto
(the "Credit Agreement"), and is one of the Notes referred to therein.
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents (as that term
is defined in the Credit Agreement) for a statement of prepayment, rights and
obligations of Borrower, for a statement of the terms and conditions under which
the due date of this Note may be accelerated and for statements regarding other
matters affecting this Note (including without limitation the obligations of the
holder hereof to advance funds hereunder, principal and interest payment due
dates, voluntary and mandatory prepayments, exercise of rights and remedies,
payment of attorneys' fees, court costs and other costs of collection and
certain waivers by Borrower and others now or hereafter obligated for payment of
any sums due hereunder).  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as that
term is defined in the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, the holder hereof
(i) may declare forthwith to be entirely and immediately due and payable the
principal balance hereof and the interest accrued hereon, and (ii) shall have
all rights and remedies of the Bank under the Credit Agreement and Loan
Documents.  This Note may be prepaid in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the Credit Agreement.

     Regardless of any provision contained in this Note, the holder hereof shall
never be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on this Note, any
amount in excess of the Maximum Rate (as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement), and, if the holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies as
interest, any such amount which would be excessive interest, it shall be deemed
a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the
indebtedness evidenced hereby is paid in full, any remaining excess shall
forthwith be paid to Borrower.  In determining whether or not the interest paid
or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower
and the holder hereof

                                       1
<PAGE>

shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (i) characterize any
non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest,
(ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) spread the
total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the
obligations evidenced by this Note and/or referred to in the Credit Agreement so
that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of this Note;
provided that, if this Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of
the full contemplated term thereof; and if the interest received for the actual
period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, the holder hereof shall
refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess
against the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and, in such event, the holder hereof
shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for,
charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.

     If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a
day other than a Business Day (as such term is defined in the  Credit
Agreement), such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.

     If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it
is collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy,
receivership or other court proceedings, Borrower agrees to pay all costs of
collection, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees.

     Borrower and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other party ever liable
for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note, jointly and severally
waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate the
maturity, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, as to this Note and as to
each and all installments hereof, and agree that their liability under this Note
shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment hereof,
or in any indulgences, or by any release or change in any security for the
payment of this Note, and hereby consent to any and all renewals, extensions,
indulgences, releases or changes.

     This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
applicable laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of
Oklahoma.

     THIS WRITTEN NOTE, THE RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.

     This Note is one of a series of notes given in renewal, extension and
increase of (but not in extinguishment of) that certain Promissory Note dated as
of October 29, 1999, in the face amount of $70,000,000.00 executed by Borrower
and payable to the order of Bank of Oklahoma, N.A.

=======================================================================================
</TABLE>

                                   RECITALS

     A.   Simultaneously herewith, Debtor entered into that certain Restated
Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), whereby the lending institution
signatories hereto, as Banks, agreed to extend credit to Debtor (the "Loan"), in
the maximum aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the
sum of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00).  Capitalized terms used
and not otherwise defined in this Restated Credit Agreement shall have the
meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

     B.   In connection with the Loan, Borrower has executed and delivered to
the Banks the Notes in favor of each of such Banks aggregating the original
principal amount of the Loan.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of any loan and in consideration
of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are
incorporated herein and made a part hereof and for other financial
accommodations made or given to Debtor by Lender, ________________________
("Guarantor") hereby guarantees absolutely and unconditionally the full and
prompt payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and
at any and all times thereafter, of all indebtedness, liabilities and
obligations evidenced by those certain 100 promissory notes in the aggregate
amount of $100,000,000.00 executed by Debtor in favor of each Bank which is a
party to the Credit Agreement, plus  all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to attorneys' fees, court
costs and other legal expenses, paid or incurred by lender in collecting or
endeavoring to

                                       1
<PAGE>

collect such indebtedness or any part thereof and in enforcing this guaranty
(all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations including the debt evidenced
by such promissory note, together with all extensions, renewals, replacements,
rearrangements, changes in form and modifications thereof, being hereinafter
collectively called the "Indebtedness"). Guarantor's obligation hereunder is an
absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness.

1.   Amount.  This guaranty is unlimited in amount.  It is expressly agreed and
     ------
understood that all amounts recovered from Guarantor shall be over, above and in
addition to any amounts recovered from any other source and applied to the
Indebtedness.

2.   Statement of Consideration.  Guarantor stipulates that Guarantor will
     --------------------------
receive substantial and valuable and direct consideration and benefits from the
extension of credit by the Banks to Debtor and that it is in the Guarantor's
best interest to enter into this guaranty.

3.   Banks' Remedies.  In the event of (i) a default with respect to any portion
     ---------------
of the Indebtedness or under any promissory note executed by Debtor, or (ii) a
breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Guarantor contained herein, or
(iii) a default or events of default under any loan agreement, credit agreement,
pledge agreement, guaranty, mortgage or security agreement between or among the
Debtor, the Guarantor and/or any Bank, or (iv) the sale, exchange or transfer of
any of the interest of Guarantor in the Debtor, or (v) the business failure of
Debtor or Guarantor or (vi) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
liquidator of any part of the property or assets of Debtor or Guarantor or (vii)
the commencement of any proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by
or against Debtor or Guarantor if not dismissed within 90 days, and even if such
event shall occur at a time when any of the Indebtedness may not be due and
payable, Guarantor agrees to pay the Banks forthwith the full amount which would
be payable hereunder by Guarantor if all of the Indebtedness were then due and
payable.

4.   Continuing Nature of Guaranty.  Guarantor further agrees that this guaranty
     -----------------------------
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of the Indebtedness to the Banks is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Debtor or otherwise, all as though such payment to such
Bank had not been made.

5.   Guarantor's Authorization to Lender.  All Banks may at any time and from
     -----------------------------------
time to time, without notice to Guarantor, take any or all of the following
actions without affecting or impairing the liability of Guarantor on this
guaranty: (i) renew, extend, restructure, modify, rearrange or change the form
of the Indebtedness or the time of payment of all or any portion of the
Indebtedness, (ii) sell, exchange, accept, substitute, impair ,release,
surrender or realize upon or otherwise deal in any manner and in any order with
any security or collateral for the Indebtedness, (iii) accept other guarantors
or endorsers, (iv) release, compromise or settle with any person primarily or
secondarily liable on the Indebtedness (including any maker, co-maker, endorser
or guarantor), and (v) change, whether decrease or increase, the rate of
interest due on the Indebtedness or the manner or place of payment.  The
liability of Guarantor under this guaranty shall in no way be affected or
impaired by any failure, delay or omission in enforcing payment of the
Indebtedness or this guaranty or any security to either the Indebtedness or for
this guaranty.  In order to hold Guarantor liable hereunder, there shall be no
obligation on the part of the Banks, at any

                                       2
<PAGE>

time, to resort for payment to the Debtor or any other guarantor, to seek or
obtain a deficiency judgment against Debtor or to proceed against any security
or collateral for the Indebtedness or this guaranty, and the Banks shall have
the absolute, unconditional and continuing right to enforce this guaranty
irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps are being taken
against any property securing the Indebtedness or any other guarantor or any
other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Indebtedness.
Guarantor waives and relinquishes any right to set off or offset the fair market
value of any collateral or security for the Indebtedness against Guarantor's
liability hereunder should the Banks exercise their right to proceed directly
against the Guarantor prior to proceeding against such collateral or security.

6.   Relinquishment of Right of Offset.  If the Banks elect to foreclose any
     ---------------------------------
lien in their favor, (i) the Banks are authorized to purchase all or any portion
of collateral covered by such lien, and (ii) the amount of the sale proceeds
received by the Banks to be applied against the Indebtedness shall be the actual
net proceeds received from sale of any such collateral.

7.   Application of Payments on Indebtedness.  Any and all payments upon the
     ---------------------------------------
Indebtedness made by the Debtor, or by Guarantor, or by any other person, and
the proceeds of any and all security for any of the Indebtedness may be applied
by the Banks upon such of the items of the Indebtedness, and in such order, as
the Banks may determine.

8.   Guarantor Waivers.  Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Guarantor
     -----------------
waives notice of acceptance hereof by the Banks and further waives presentment,
protest, demand, notice of dishonor or default, notice of acceptance of this
guaranty, notice of any loans made, extensions or renewals granted or other
action taken in reliance hereon and all demands and notices of any kind in
connection with this guaranty or the Indebtedness.  GUARANTOR FURTHER WAIVES AND
RELINQUISHES ANY RIGHT OF REIMBURSEMENT, SUBROGATION, INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER
RECOURSE OR CLAIM, WHETHER CONTINGENT OR MATURED, WHICH GUARANTOR MAY HAVE
AGAINST THE DEBTOR.  IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER TO
ELIMINATE ANY DEBTOR/CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEBTOR AND GUARANTOR.
UNTIL THE INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL, GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY RELEASES AND
WAIVES ANY AND ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE RIGHTS AS A CREDITOR OF DEBTOR IN ALL
RESPECTS.

9.   Guarantor's Representations and Warranties.  This guaranty shall bind the
     ------------------------------------------
heirs, successors and assigns of Guarantor and inure to the benefit of the Banks
and their successors and assigns.  This guaranty is deemed executed and
delivered in the State of Oklahoma and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma.  It is agreed that this
guaranty was contracted for in the city set forth above as part of Agent's
address, and this guaranty is hereby deemed to have been given when received and
accepted by the Agent in such city.  Guarantor hereby waives all objections to
venue and consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court
sitting in such city or the county in which such city is located, or in any
state or county in which real property securing any promissory note executed by
Debtor is located in connection with any action instituted by the Banks by
reason of or arising out of the execution, delivery or performance of any
promissory note executed by Debtor or the collection of any of the Indebtedness
or this guaranty.  Wherever possible each provision of this guaranty

                                       3
<PAGE>

shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this guaranty shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this guaranty. If Guarantor is a
corporation, this guaranty has been duly authorized to be executed, delivered
and performed by the undersigned corporate officers pursuant to all necessary
corporate action of the board of directors of the Guarantor.

10.  Waivers and Settlements.  All rights of the Banks are cumulative and not
     -----------------------
alternative to other rights and may be selectively and successively enforced by
the Banks as they may elect or determine in the sole discretion of the Banks and
such action(s) shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any other right
or remedy held by the Banks.  The Banks may settle with any one or more of the
other parties for such sum or sums as it may see fit and release any of such
other parties from all further liability to the Banks for such Indebtedness
without impairing the right of the Banks to demand and collect the balance of
such Indebtedness from others not so expressly released.

11.  Further Representations.  Guarantor expressly represents and warrants to
     -----------------------
the Banks that at the time of the execution and delivery hereof to the Banks

may only be modified by a written agreement by Bank and Guarantor.  No officer,
agent or employee of Bank has authority to modify this guaranty orally or to
waive the provisions of this paragraph.

13.  Successors and Assigns.  This guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the
     ----------------------
Bank's successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the personal
representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of Guarantor.  This guaranty is
effective immediately upon execution.  Guarantor hereby waives and irrevocably
releases any claim that the delivery or effectiveness of this guaranty is
conditional in any manner whatsoever.

14.  Headings.  The headings of the sections of this Guaranty Agreement are
     --------
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof.

                    AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

     This Amendment No. 1 to Investment Agreement (the "Amendment No. 1") is
made and entered into effective as of the 6th day of November, 1998, between
Recovery Equity Investors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Investor"), and CMI Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (the "Company").

     WHEREAS, effective as of August 19, 1991, the Investor and the Company
entered into that certain Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement")
pursuant to which, among other things, the Investor purchased from the Company
6,666,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Investment Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
herein made, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have their respective meanings as set forth in the Investment Agreement.

     2.   Section 4.1 of the Investment Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

     "SECTION 4.1. Board Representation. From and after November 6, 1998,
                   --------------------
     the Investor shall be entitled to designate for election to the
     Company's Board of Directors one-half (1/2) of the total number of
     directors then constituting the entire Board, as such number of
     directors shall be fixed from time to time pursuant to resolution
     adopted by the Company's Board of Directors; provided, however, that
                                                  --------  -------
     if, after the date hereof, the Investor, its affiliates, limited
     partners and associates cease to beneficially own an aggregate of at
     least 1,700,000 shares of Voting Class A Common Stock, par value $0.10
     per share ("Class A Common Stock"), of the Company, the Investor
     thereafter shall be entitled to designate for election to the
     Company's Board of Directors only one-third (1/3) of the total number
     of directors then constituting the entire Board; and, provided,
                                                           --------
     further, that if the Investor, its affiliates, limited partners and
     -------
     associates cease to beneficially own an aggregate of at least
     1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, the Investor thereafter
     shall be entitled to designate only one (1) person for election to the
     Company's Board of Directors (it being understood that such
     entitlement to designate one director shall terminate at such time as
     the Investor, its affiliates, limited partners and associates cease to
     beneficially own any shares of Class A Common Stock). Any person
     designated by the Investor for election to the Company's Board of
     Directors in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall
     be included in the slate of nominees

                                       1
<PAGE>

          recommended by such Board of Directors to the Company's
          shareholders for election as directors at each applicable annual
          meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and the Company shall
          use its best efforts to cause the election of each such person
          designated by the Investor. In the event that any designee of the
          Investor for election to the Company's Board of Directors
          pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall cease to serve as a
          director for any reason, the vacancy resulting therefrom shall be
          filled as soon as practicable with a person designated by the
          Investor. Provided that he continues to beneficially own (with
          his wife, children and grandchildren) at least 1,500,000 shares
          of Class A Common Stock, Bill Swisher shall be entitled to
          designate himself for election to the Company's Board of
          Directors. If so designated, Mr. Swisher shall be included in the
          slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors to the
          Company's shareholders for election as directors at each
          applicable annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and
          the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the election of
          Mr. Swisher. Mr. Swisher is specifically made a third party
          beneficiary of the two sentences immediately preceding this
          sentence. In the event that (i) at any time the designee(s) of
          the Investor are not elected to the Company's Board of Directors
          as provided herein, or (ii) the Department of Labor through
          formal or informal rules, regulations, or interpretations
          provides, or it is otherwise provided through governmental or
          court action, that such Board representation does not constitute
          the exercise of management rights of the kind necessary to allow
          the Investor to continue to qualify as a venture capital
          operating company under Department of Labor Regulation 2510.3-101
          promulgated under ERISA, then the Investor and the Company shall
          use their best efforts, upon the advice of counsel to the
          Investor, to ensure that the Investor has and is permitted to
          exercise the minimum amount of such management rights to continue
          to qualify as a venture capital operating company; provided,
                                                             --------
          however, that in no event shall the Investor be entitled under
          -------
          this Section 4.1 to designate for election to the Board of
          Directors a number of persons greater than that set forth in the
          first sentence of this Section 4.1. The number and type of
          securities which the Investor, its affiliates, limited partners
          and associates (or Bill Swisher, his wife, children and
          grandchildren, as the case may be) are required to beneficially
          own to be afforded the right to designate persons for election to
          the Company's Board of Directors shall be appropriately adjusted
          to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
          recapitalization or similar action. The parties acknowledge and
          agree that, for purposes of determining the number of shares of
          Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Company
          beneficially owned by the Investor's limited partners, only those
          shares distributed by the Investor to the limited partners shall
          be considered."

                                       2

     3.   The parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of Section 4.1,
Tom Engelsman shall be deemed to be a designee of the Investor.

     4.   Except as specifically provided herein, the terms and provisions of
the Investment Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument. This
Amendment No. 1 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of
conflicts of laws.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed below.
