This master confirmation (this “Master
Confirmation”), dated as of April 24, 2007 is intended to supplement
the terms and provisions of certain Transactions (each, a “Transaction”)
entered into from time to time between Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“GS&Co.”) and Brinker International, Inc. (“Counterparty”). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is
neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence
of a Transaction.  The terms of any
particular Transaction shall be set forth in (i) a Supplemental Confirmation in
the form of Schedule A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”),
which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of,
and be subject to this Master Confirmation and (ii) a Trade Notification in the
form of Schedule B hereto (a “Trade Notification”),
which shall reference the relevant Supplemental Confirmation and supplement,
form a part of, and be subject to such Supplemental Confirmation.  This Master Confirmation, each Supplemental
Confirmation and the related Trade Notification together shall constitute a “Confirmation”
as referred to in the Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002
ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”),
as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are
incorporated into this Master Confirmation. 
This Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and the related
Trade Notification evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty
and GS&Co. as to the subject matter and terms of each Transaction to which
this Master Confirmation, such Supplemental Confirmation and Trade Notification
relate and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral
communications with respect thereto.

This Master Confirmation, each Supplemental
Confirmation and each Trade Notification supplement, form a part of, and are
subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement
(Multicurrency — Cross Border) (the “Agreement”) as
if GS&Co. and Counterparty had executed the Agreement on the date of this
Master Confirmation (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election
of Loss and Second Method, New York law (without regard to the conflicts of law
principles) as the governing law and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the election that
subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) will not apply to the Transactions,
(iii) the replacement of the word “third” in the last line of
Section 5(a)(i) with the word “first” and (iv) the election that the “Cross
Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) shall apply to Counterparty and to
GS&Co., with the words “ , or becoming capable at such time of being
declared,” deleted from the seventh line thereof and with a “Threshold Amount”
of USD 50 million).

All provisions contained or incorporated by reference
in the Agreement shall govern this Master Confirmation, each Supplemental
Confirmation and each Trade Notification except as expressly modified herein.

If, in relation to any Transaction to which this
Master Confirmation, a Supplemental Confirmation and a Trade Notification
relate, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Master
Confirmation, any

 1
 

Supplemental
Confirmation, any Trade Notification and the Equity Definitions, the following
will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence
indicated: (i) such Trade Notification, (ii) such Supplemental
Confirmation; (iii) this Master Confirmation; (iv) the Agreement; and
(v) the Equity Definitions.

1.             Each Transaction constitutes a Share Forward Transaction
for the purposes of the Equity Definitions. 
Set forth below are the terms and conditions which, together with the
terms and conditions set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation and
Trade Notification (in respect of the relevant Transaction), shall govern each
such Transaction.

  VWAP Price:

  	
   

  	
  For any Exchange Business Day, as determined by the
  Calculation Agent based on the New York Stock Exchange 10b-18 Volume Weighted
  Average Price per Share for the regular trading session (including any
  extensions thereof) of the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day (without
  regard to pre-open or after hours trading outside of such regular trading
  session for such Exchange Business Day), as published by Bloomberg at 4:15
  p.m. New York time (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension of the
  regular trading session) on such Exchange Business Day, on Bloomberg page
  “EAT.N <Equity> AQR_SEC” (or any successor thereto) or, if such price
  is not so reported on such Exchange Business Day for any reason, as
  reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent. For purposes of calculating
  the VWAP Price, the Calculation Agent will include only those trades that are
  reported during the period of time during which Counterparty could purchase
  its own shares under Rule 10b-18(b)(2) and pursuant to the conditions of Rule
  10b-18(b)(3), each under the Exchange Act (as defined herein) (such trades, “Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions”).

  For each Transaction, the Scheduled Termination Date
  set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation (as the same may be postponed in
  accordance with the provisions hereof); provided that
  GS&Co. shall have the right to designate any date (the “Accelerated Termination Date”) on or after the First
  Acceleration Date to be the Termination Date by providing notice to
  Counterparty of any such designation on such date.

  Market Disruption
  Event:

  	
   

  	
  The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in
  Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the
  words “at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant
  Valuation Time” and inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading
  Day during the Hedge Period or Calculation Period or” after the word
  “material,” in the third line thereof.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Notwithstanding
  anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that a
  Disrupted Day occurs in the Hedge Period or the Calculation Period, the
  Calculation Agent may in good faith and acting in a commercially reasonable
  manner postpone the Hedge Completion Date or the Termination Date, as the
  case may be. In such event, the Calculation Agent must determine whether (i)
  such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price
  for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the
  Hedge Period Reference Price or the Forward Price, as the case may be, or
  (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the
  VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation
  Agent based on Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions in the Shares on such
  Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred
  and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended, and the weighting of
  the VWAP Price for the relevant Exchange Business Days during the Hedge
  Period or the Calculation Period, as the case may be, shall be adjusted in a
  commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of
  determining the Hedge Period Reference Price or the Forward Price, as the
  case may be, with such adjustments based on, among other factors, the
  duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading
  patterns and price of the Shares.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Hedge Period or
  the Calculation Period, as the case may be, and each of the nine immediately
  following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day, then the Calculation
  Agent, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, may either
  (i) deem such ninth Scheduled Trading Day to be an Exchange Business Day and
  determine the VWAP Price for such ninth Scheduled Trading Day using its good
  faith estimate of the value of the Shares on such ninth Scheduled Trading Day
  based on the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares and
  such other factors as it deems appropriate in its good faith and commercially
  reasonable discretion or (ii) further extend the Hedge Period or the
  Calculation Period, as the case may be, as it deems necessary in its good
  faith and commercially reasonable discretion to determine the VWAP Price.

3.             Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)           In
addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement,
each party represents, warrants and covenants to the other party that:

(i)            Eligible
Contract Participant.  It is an “eligible
contract participant”, as defined in the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act (as
amended), and is entering into each Transaction hereunder as principal and not
for the benefit of any third party.

(ii)           Accredited
Investor.  Each party acknowledges that
the offer and sale of each Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. 
Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other that (i) it
has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in each
Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is
an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D under the
Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of each Transaction is restricted
under this Master Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

 7

(b)           In
addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement and
those contained herein, GS&Co. represents, warrants and covenants to
Counterparty that, with respect to (i) all purchases of Shares made by
GS&Co. during any relevant Hedge Period in respect of any Transaction and
(ii) purchases during the related Relevant Period (as defined below) of a
number of Shares equal to the Minimum Shares for such Transaction less the
number of Shares so purchased during the related Hedge Period in respect of
such Transaction, GS&Co. will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect
such purchases in a manner so that, if such purchases were made by
Counterparty, they would meet the requirements of Rule 10b-18(b)(2), (3) and
(4) (“Rule 10b-18”)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and effect calculations in respect thereof,
taking into account any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission or staff
no-action letters or interpretations as appropriate and subject to any delays
between the execution and reporting of a trade of the Shares on the Exchange
and other circumstances beyond GS&Co.’s control.

4.             Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of Counterparty.  In addition to the
representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement and those contained
herein, as of (i) the date hereof, (ii) the Trade Date for each Transaction
hereunder and (iii) to the extent expressly stated below, each day during the
Hedge Period and Calculation Period for each Transaction hereunder,
Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to GS&Co. that:

(a)           the
purchase or writing of each Transaction and the transactions contemplated
hereby will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange
Act;

(b)           it
is not entering into any Transaction (i) on the basis of, and is not aware of,
any material non-public information with respect to the Shares, (ii) in
anticipation of, in connection with, or to facilitate, a distribution of its
securities, a self tender offer or a third-party tender offer or (iii) to
create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security
convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or
otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into
or exchangeable for the Shares);

(c)           each
Transaction is being entered into pursuant to a publicly disclosed Share
buy-back program and its Board of Directors has approved the use of derivatives
to effect the Share buy-back program;

(d)           without
limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, it
acknowledges that GS&Co. is not making any representations or warranties
with respect to the treatment of any Transaction under FASB Statements 128, 133
as amended, or 149, 150, EITF 00-19, EITF 03-6 (or any successor issue
statements) or under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Liabilities &
Equity Project;

(e)           Counterparty
is in compliance with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and its
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with all reports subsequently
filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act, taken together and as amended and
supplemented to the date of this representation, do not, as of their respective
filing dates, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading;

(f)            Counterparty shall report each Transaction as required
under Regulation S-K and/or Regulation S-B under the Exchange Act, as
applicable;

(g)           Counterparty is not, and will not be,
engaged in a “distribution” of Shares or securities that are convertible into,
or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares for purposes of Regulation M
promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”)
at any time during the Hedge Period or the Relevant Period for any Transaction
unless Counterparty has provided written notice to GS&Co. of such
distribution (a “Regulation M Distribution Notice”)
not later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of
the relevant “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M); Counterparty
acknowledges that any such notice may cause the Hedge Period or the Calculation
Period to be extended or suspended pursuant to Section 5 below; accordingly,
Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the
standards set forth in Section 6 below; “Relevant Period”
means, for any Transaction, the period commencing on the first day of the
Calculation Period and ending on (i) if GS&Co. has not designated an
Accelerated Termination Date in respect of

 8
 

such Transaction,
the last day of the Calculation Period, or (ii) if GS&Co. has designated an
Accelerated Termination Date in respect of such Transaction, the earlier of the
Relevant Period End Date, as set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation, or
such earlier day as elected by GS&Co. and communicated to Counterparty on
such day;

(h)           Counterparty acknowledges that each
Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted GS&Co. an
option;  GS&Co. may purchase shares
for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than,
the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the related Transaction;

(i)            as of the Trade Date, the Prepayment
Date and the Minimum Share Delivery Date for each Transaction, Counterparty is
not “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy
Code”)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of
shares equal to the Maximum Shares in compliance with the laws of the
jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation;

(j)            Counterparty is not and, after
giving effect to any Transaction, will not be, required to register as an “investment
company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended; and

(k)           it has not and, during the Hedge
Period or Relevant Period for any Transaction, will not enter into agreements
similar to the Transactions described herein where any initial hedge period
(however defined), the calculation period (however defined) or the relevant
period (however defined) in such other transaction will overlap at any time
(including as a result of extensions in such initial hedge period, calculation
period or relevant period as provided in the relevant agreements) with any
Hedge Period or Relevant Period under this Master Confirmation.  In the event that the initial hedge period,
calculation period or relevant period in any other similar transaction overlaps
with any Hedge Period or Relevant Period under this Master Confirmation as a
result of an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 5 herein,
Counterparty shall promptly amend such transaction to avoid any such overlap.

5.             Suspension of Hedge Period or Calculation Period.

(a)           If
Counterparty concludes that it will be engaged in a distribution of the Shares
for purposes of Regulation M, Counterparty shall provide GS&Co. with a
Regulation M Distribution Notice after the close of the regular trading session
on the Exchange for the Shares on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately
preceding the start of the relevant restricted period, which notice shall be
effective as of 8:30 a.m. New York Time on the following Scheduled Trading Day
or as otherwise required by law or agreed between Counterparty and
GS&Co.  Upon the effectiveness of
such Regulation M Distribution Notice, the Calculation Period or the Hedge
Period, as the case may be, shall be suspended and the Termination Date or the
Hedge Completion Date or both, as the case may be, shall postponed for each
Scheduled Trading Day in such restricted period; accordingly, Counterparty
represents, warrants and covenants to GS&Co. as of the effectiveness of
such notice that (i) such notice, and Counterparty’s delivery thereof, complies
with the standards set forth in Section 6 below and (ii) Counterparty is not
aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the
Shares.

(b)           In the event that GS&Co. concludes, in its reasonable discretion, that
it is appropriate, as a result of or in order to comply with any legal,
regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with internal policies and
procedures of GS&Co. that are in effect on the Trade Date for the relevant
Transaction and are related to the compliance with such requirements and/or
with best practices, for it to refrain from purchasing Shares on any
Scheduled Trading Day during the Hedge Period or the Calculation Period,
GS&Co. may by written notice to Counterparty elect to suspend the Hedge
Period or the Calculation Period, or both, as the case may be, for such number
of Scheduled Trading Days as is specified in the notice.  The notice shall not specify, and GS&Co.
shall not otherwise communicate to Counterparty, the reason for GS&Co.’s
election to suspend the Hedge Period or the Calculation Period, or both, as the
case may be.  The Hedge Period or the
Calculation Period, or both, as the case may be, shall be suspended and the
Termination Date shall be extended for each Scheduled Trading Day occurring
during any such suspension.

(c)           In the event that the Calculation Period or the
Hedge Period, as the case may be, is suspended pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b)
above during the regular trading session on the Exchange, such suspension shall
be

 9
 

deemed to be an additional Market Disruption
Event, and the second and third paragraphs under “Market Disruption Event”
shall apply.

(d)           In
the event that the Calculation Period is extended pursuant to any provision
hereof (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 9(b) below), the
Calculation Agent, after consultation with Counterparty, shall adjust any
relevant terms of the related Transaction if necessary to preserve as nearly as
practicable the economic terms of such Transaction prior to such extension; provided that Counterparty shall not be
required to make any additional cash payments or deliver any Shares in
connection with any such adjustments.

6.             10b5-1 Plan.  Counterparty represents, warrants and
covenants to GS&Co. that for each Transaction:

(a)           Counterparty is entering into this
Master Confirmation and each Transaction hereunder in good faith and not as
part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the
Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”).  It is the intent of the parties that each
Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation comply with the
requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) and each Transaction entered
into under this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the
requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

(b)           Counterparty will not seek to control
or influence GS&Co. to make “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of
Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under any Transaction entered into under this
Master Confirmation, including, without limitation, GS&Co.’s decision to
enter into any hedging transactions. 
Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own
advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this
Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and each Trade Notification
under Rule 10b5-1.

(c)           Counterparty acknowledges and agrees
that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Master
Confirmation, the relevant Supplement Confirmation or Trade Notification must
be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or
termination of a “plan” as
defined in Rule 10b5-1(c).  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification,
waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or
scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5.

7.             Counterparty Purchases.

Counterparty (or any “affiliated
purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18) shall not, without the prior written
consent of GS&Co. (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
directly or indirectly purchase any Shares, listed contracts on the Shares or
securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares
(including, without limitation, any Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks (as defined
in Rule 10b-18)) during any Hedge Period or Relevant Period (as extended pursuant to the provisions hereof).  During this time, any such purchases by
Counterparty shall be made through GS&Co., or if not through GS&Co.,
with the prior written consent of GS&Co., and in compliance with
Rule 10b-18 or otherwise in a manner that Counterparty and GS&Co.
believe is in compliance with applicable requirements.

8.             Additional Termination Event.  The declaration of any Extraordinary Dividend
by the Issuer during any Hedge Period or Calculation Period will constitute an
Additional Termination Event, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and
all Transactions hereunder as the Affected Transactions.

9.             Special Provisions for Merger Transactions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in the Equity Definitions:

(a)           Counterparty agrees that it:

(i)            will not on any Scheduled Trading
Day during any Hedge Period or Calculation Period make, and will use
commercially reasonable efforts not to permit to be made, any public
announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger
Transaction or potential Merger Transaction unless such public announcement is
made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on
the Exchange for the Shares;

 10
 

(ii)           shall promptly (but in any event
prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange)
notify GS&Co. following any such announcement that such announcement has
been made; and

(iii)          shall promptly (but
in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the
Exchange) provide GS&Co. with written notice specifying (i) Counterparty’s
average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the
three full calendar months immediately preceding the announcement date that
were not effected through GS&Co. or its affiliates and (ii) the number of
Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange
Act for the three full calendar months preceding the announcement date.  Such written notice shall be deemed to be a
certification by Counterparty to GS&Co. that such information is true and
correct.  Counterparty understands that
GS&Co. will use this information in calculating the trading volume for
purposes of Rule 10b-18.  In addition,
Counterparty shall promptly notify GS&Co. of the earlier to occur of the
completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target
shareholders.  Counterparty acknowledges
that any such notice may cause the terms of any Transaction to be adjusted or
such Transaction to be terminated;

(b)           GS&Co. in its
reasonable discretion may (i) make adjustments to the terms of any Transaction,
including, without limitation, the Termination Date, the Hedge Completion Date,
the Minimum Shares and the Maximum Shares, to account for the number of Shares
that could be purchased on each day during the Hedge Period or the Calculation
Period in compliance with Rule 10b-18 following such public announcement (provided that Counterparty shall not be
required to make any additional cash payments or deliver any Shares in
connection with any such adjustments) or (ii) treat the occurrence of such
public announcement as an Additional Termination Event with Counterparty as the
sole Affected Party; and

(c)           Counterparty shall
not make, and will use commercially reasonable efforts not to permit to be
made, a public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities
Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction during the term
of any Transaction (i) to create actual or apparent trading activity in the
Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to
raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of
inducing the purchase or sale of Shares (or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for the Shares) or (ii) with a purpose of affecting the terms of
any Transaction or GS&Co.’s related hedging activities.

“Merger
Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction
involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under
the Exchange Act.

10.                                 Acknowledgments.  The parties hereto intend for:

(a)           Each
Transaction to be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the
Bankruptcy Code, a “swap agreement” as defined in Section 101(53B) of the
Bankruptcy Code and a “forward contract” as defined in Section 101(25) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections
afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27),
362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 556, 560 and 561 of the
Bankruptcy Code;

(b)           The
Agreement to be a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of
the Bankruptcy Code;

(c)           A
party’s right to liquidate, terminate or accelerate any Transaction, offset,
net or net out termination values, payment amounts or other transfer
obligations, and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement with respect to the
other party or any Extraordinary Event that results in the termination or
cancellation of any Transaction to constitute a “contractual right” within the
meaning of Sections 555, 556, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code; and

(d)           All
payments or deliveries for, under or in connection with each Transaction, all
payments for the Shares and the transfer of such Shares to constitute “settlement
payments” and “transfers” “under” or “in connection with” each Transaction and
the Agreement, in each case within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

 11
 

11.           Credit Support Documents.  The parties hereto acknowledge that no
Transaction hereunder is secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure
the obligations of Counterparty herein or pursuant to the Agreement.

12.           Limitation on Set-off.  (a)    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, the
calculation of any Settlement Amounts and Unpaid Amounts, and amounts owed in
respect of the cancelled Transactions under Article 12 of the Equity
Definitions, shall be calculated separately for (A) all Terminated Transactions
in the Shares of the Issuer that qualify as equity under applicable accounting
rules (collectively, the “Equity Shares”)
and (B) all other Terminated Transactions under the Agreement including,
without limitation, Transactions in Shares other than those of the Issuer (collectively,
the “Other Shares”) and the netting and
set-off provisions of the Agreement shall only operate to provide netting and
set-off (i) among Terminated Transactions in the Equity Shares and (ii) among
Terminated Transactions in the Other Shares.  In no event shall the netting and set-off
provisions of the Agreement operate to permit netting and set-off between
Terminated Transactions in the Equity Shares and Terminated Transactions in the
Other Shares.

(b)           The parties agree that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to a party
who is the Defaulting Party or an Affected Party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have
the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to
set-off or apply any obligation of X owed to Y (whether or not matured or
contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of
the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any
obligation of Y (or any Affiliate of Y) owed to X (whether or not matured or
contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of
the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation).  Y will give notice to the other party of any
set-off effected under this Section 12.

Amounts (or the relevant
portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into the
Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able,
acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant
amount of such currency.  If any
obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and
set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to
the other when the obligation is ascertained. 
Nothing in this Section 12 shall be effective to create a charge or
other security interest.  This Section 12
shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination
of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise
entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(c)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, GS&Co. agrees not to set off or
net amounts due from Counterparty with respect to any Transaction against
amounts due from GS&Co. to Counterparty with respect to contracts or
instruments that are not Equity Contracts. 
“Equity Contract” means any
transaction or instrument that does not convey rights to GS&Co. senior to
claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.

13.           Delivery of Shares.  (a)        GS&Co.
may, by notice to Counterparty prior to the Minimum Share Delivery Date (the “Nominal Delivery Date”), elect to deliver the Shares it is
required to deliver under “Minimum Share Delivery” (above) on two or more dates
(each, a “Staggered Delivery Date”) or at two or
more times on the Nominal Delivery Date as follows:

(i)            in such notice, GS&Co. will
specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Delivery Dates (each of which
will be on or prior to the Nominal Delivery Date, but not prior to the
beginning of the Hedge Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the
Shares it is required to deliver under “Minimum Share Delivery” (above) among
the Staggered Delivery Dates or delivery times; and

(ii)           the aggregate number of Shares that
GS&Co. will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered
Delivery Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that
GS&Co. would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Delivery
Date.

14.           Early Termination.  In the event that an Early Termination Date
(whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or
is designated with respect to any Transaction (except as a result of a Merger
Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares
consists solely of cash), if GS&Co.

 12
 

would owe any amount to
Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (calculated as if
the Transactions being terminated on such Early Termination Date were the sole
Transactions under the Agreement) (any such amount, a “GS&Co.
Amount”), then, in lieu of any payment of such GS&Co. Amount,
Counterparty may, no later than the Early Termination Date or the date on which
such Transaction is terminated, elect for GS&Co. to deliver to Counterparty
a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Merger Event, a number of units, each
comprising the number or amount of the securities or property that a
hypothetical holder of one Share would receive in such Merger Event (each such
unit, an “Alternative Delivery Unit” and, the
securities or property comprising such unit, “Alternative
Delivery Property”)) with a value equal to the GS&Co. Amount, as
determined by the Calculation Agent (and the parties agree that, in making such
determination of value, the Calculation Agent may take into account a number of
factors, including the market price of the Shares or Alternative Delivery
Property on the date of early termination and the prices at which GS&Co.
purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Property to fulfill its delivery
obligations under this Section 14); provided
that in determining the composition of any Alternative Delivery Unit, if the
relevant Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by
holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum
possible amount of cash.

15.           Payment Date upon Early
Termination.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, all amounts
calculated as being due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section
6(e) of the Agreement will be payable on the day that notice of the amount
payable is effective; provided
that if Counterparty elects to receive Shares or Alternative Delivery Property
in accordance with Section 14 hereof, such Shares or Alternative Delivery
Property shall be delivered on a date selected by GS&Co. as promptly as
practicable.

16.           Special Provisions for
Counterparty Payments.  The parties
hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the
Agreement, in the event that an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of
an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with
respect to any Transaction or a Transaction is adjusted or cancelled as
contemplated by the Equity Definitions, in each case after the payment in full
by Counterparty of the Prepayment Amount and the Counterparty Additional
Payment Amount, and, as a result of any such event, Counterparty owes to
GS&Co. an amount (whether calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement
(calculated as if the Transactions being terminated on such Early Termination
Date were the sole Transactions under the Agreement) or otherwise), such amount
shall be deemed to be zero.  For the
avoidance of doubt, after payment in full by Counterparty of the Prepayment
Amount and the Counterparty Additional Payment Amount with respect to a
Transaction, Counterparty shall not owe any other cash payment with respect to
such Transaction, or the adjustment, cancellation or termination thereof.

17.           Agreement in Respect of
Termination Amounts.  In determining
any amounts payable in respect of the termination or cancellation of a
Transaction hereunder pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement or Article 12 of
the Equity Definitions, the Calculation Agent shall make such determination
without regard to (i) changes to costs of funding, stock loan rates  or expected dividends since the Trade Date,
or (ii) losses or costs incurred in connection with terminating, liquidating or
re-establishing any hedge related to the Transaction (or any gain resulting
from any of them).

18.           Agreement in Respect of
Adjustments.  In determining any
adjustment in respect of a Transaction hereunder pursuant to Article 11 or
Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, the Calculation Agent shall make such
adjustments without regard to changes in expected dividends since the Trade
Date.

19.           Agreement in Respect of Dividends.  For the avoidance of doubt, if an Early

Bank, severally and for itself alone, on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, hereby agrees to make loans in a series of no more than five
Borrowings to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the
Drawdown Period (each a “Loan”) in an aggregate amount outstanding not to

amount of not less than  $10,000,000
or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall consist of Loans of the same Type made to the Borrower on the
same day by the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitments and
having the same Interest Period.

Section 2.02.  Making the Loans.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given
not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (a) in the case of a proposed
Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at least three (3) Business Days

Section 2.03.  [Reserved]

Section 2.04.  [Reserved]

Section 2.05.  Borrowings; Loans; Termination of
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)           Loans shall be made by the Banks
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments on the date of each
Borrowing, provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to
make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Bank of its obligation to
lend hereunder.  If requested by a Bank,
each Loan by such Bank shall be made against delivery to such Bank of an
appropriate Note, payable to the order of such Bank, in the principal amount of
such Loan.

(b)           Each Borrowing shall be a Eurodollar
Rate Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing, as the Borrower may request subject to
the terms and conditions hereof.  Each
Bank may at its option make any Eurodollar Rate Loan by causing the Eurodollar
Lending Office of such Bank to make such Loan, provided, however,
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable 

 14
 

Note and this Agreement.  Loans of more than one (1) interest rate
option may be outstanding at the same time, provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Loans which, if made,
would result in an aggregate of more than five (5) separate Loans of any Bank
being outstanding hereunder at any time. 
For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods,
regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered
separate Loans.

(c)           Each Bank shall, before 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing make available at its
Applicable Lending Office for the account of the Administrative Agent at its
address referred to in Section 10.02, in immediately available funds,
such Bank’s portion of such Borrowing. 
After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the
Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower not later
than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at such account of the Borrower as the
Borrower shall from time to time designate in a notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent and is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent.  If the applicable conditions set
forth in Article III to any such Borrowing have not been met prior to
2:00 P.M. (New York City time) the Administrative Agent shall so notify the
Banks making the Loans comprising such Borrowing and return the funds so
received to the respective Banks as soon as practicable.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary:

(i)            if any Bank shall, at least one (1)
Business Day before the date any requested Borrowing is to be made, notify the
Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central
bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank
or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to fund Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, the right of
the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Borrowing or any
subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until such Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist, and except as provided in clause (iv) below, each Loan comprising
such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Loan;

(ii)           if the Majority Banks shall, on or
before the date any requested Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans is
to be made, notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for such
Eurodollar Rate Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of
making their respective Eurodollar Rate Loans, the right of the Borrower to
select the Eurodollar Rate for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall
be suspended until the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority
Banks, shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist, and except as provided in clause (iv)
below, each Loan comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Loan;

(iii)          if the Reference Banks fail to furnish
timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining the Eurodollar
Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising any requested Borrowing to be made,
(A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Banks that
the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Loans, (B) the
right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Borrowing or any

 15
 

subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (C) each Loan
comprising such Borrowings shall be a Base Rate Loan;

(iv)          if the Borrower has requested a
proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans and as a result of
circumstances referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, such
Borrowing would not consist of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower may, by
notice given not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the date such proposed Borrowing would otherwise be made,
cancel such Borrowing, in which case such Borrowing shall be canceled and no
Loans shall be made as a result of such requested Borrowing; and

(v)           if the Borrower shall fail to select
the duration or continuation of any Interest Period for any Loans consisting of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, in accordance with the provisions contained in the
definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and this Section
2.05(d), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and
the Banks and such Loans will be made available to the Borrower on the date of
such Borrowing and the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month.

(e)           Each Notice of a Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower, except as set forth in Section
2.05(d)(iv).  In the case of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan requested by the Borrower in a Notice of Borrowing, the
Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, cost or expense incurred
by such Bank as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date
specified for such Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund such Loan to be made
by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Loan, as a result of such
failure, is not made on such date.  A
certificate in reasonable detail as to the basis for and the amount of such
loss, cost or expense submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by
such Bank shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of such loss, cost or
expense.  If a Borrowing requested by the
Borrower to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made as a Borrowing
comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of Section 2.05(d), the
Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any loss (excluding loss of
profits), cost or expense incurred by such Bank by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank (prior to the
time such Bank is actually aware that such Borrowing will not be so made), to
fund the Loan to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing.  A certificate in reasonable detail as to the
basis for and the amount of such loss, cost or expense submitted to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount of such loss, cost or expense.

(f)            Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that
such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s
ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the
date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02 and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower requesting such Borrowing on such date a corresponding
amount.  If and to the extent that such
Bank shall not have so made such ratable 

 16
 

portion available to the Administrative Agent, such
Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case
of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising
such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Bank shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Bank’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

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

Section 2.06.  Conversions and Continuations of
Borrowings.

(a)           Subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.05(d), the Borrower shall have the right at any time upon
prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, to
convert any Borrowing which constitutes a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing into a Base
Rate Borrowing or to continue any Base Rate Borrowing for an additional
Interest Period and (ii) not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) three
(3) Business Days prior to the date of conversion or continuation, to convert
any Borrowing which constitutes a Base Rate Borrowing into a Eurodollar Rate
Borrowing or to continue any Borrowing constituting a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing
for an additional Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(A)          each conversion or continuation shall
be made pro rata among the Banks in accordance with the respective principal
amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(B)           if less than all the outstanding
principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, the
aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing converted or continued shall be in
an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess

portion thereof) being converted or continued shall be paid by the Borrower at
the time of conversion or continuation;

(D)          if any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing is
converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Banks
pursuant to Section 2.05(e) as a result of such conversion;

(E)           no Interest Period may be selected
for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing that would end later than the Maturity Date;

(F)           no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or result from, such conversion
or continuation; and

 17
 

(G)           each such conversion or continuation
shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower and the
Guarantor that no Default or Event of Default (i) has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such conversion or continuation, or (ii) would result
from such conversion or continuation.

(b)           Each notice pursuant to Section
2.06(a) shall be irrevocable, shall be in writing (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed in writing) and shall refer to this Agreement and specify
(i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be
converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing made pursuant
to a Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such
conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period
with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Rate
Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If no Interest Period is specified in any
such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar
Rate Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one (1) month’s duration.  The
Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the other Banks of any notice given
pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and of each Bank’s portion of any converted or
continued Borrowing.  If the Borrower
shall not have given notice in accordance with Section 2.06(a) to
continue any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and
shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with Section 2.06(a)
to convert such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing), such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing
shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid
pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued for a new Interest
Period as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.07.  Optional Termination and Reduction of  the
Commitments.  The Borrower shall have
the right, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative
Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Total
Commitment, provided, that, (a) each partial reduction shall be
in the aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 and in an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of
the Banks shall not be reduced to an amount which is less than the aggregate
principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, and (c) no Notice of Borrowing
has been delivered and is in effect. 
Such notice shall specify the date and the amount of the reduction or
termination of the Total Commitment.  Any
such reduction or termination of the Total Commitment shall be made ratably
among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments and shall be
permanent.  Simultaneously with any
termination of the Total Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Banks the accrued and unpaid
commitment fee set forth in Section 2.11.

Section
2.08.  Repayment of Loans.

(a)           The
Borrower agrees to repay the Loans in full on the Maturity Date.

(b)           The Borrower may, upon at least one
(1) Business Day’s notice in respect of Base Rate Loans, and, in respect of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice, to the
Administrative Agent stating the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day)
and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given
the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans,
together with accrued interest to 

 18
 

the date of such prepayment on the principal amount
prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.13
as a result of such prepayment; provided, however, that each
partial prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be in an
aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000 and increments of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, and amounts prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c)           Each notice of prepayment shall
specify the prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of each Loan to
be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such
Loan by the amount stated therein.  All
prepayments under this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

Section
2.09.  Interest on Loans.

(a)           Interest on Loans.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan made by each Bank from the date of such Loan
until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per
annum:

(i)            if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, a
rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Loan to
the Base Rate in effect from time to time during such Interest Period for such
Loan plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans in effect from time to
time, payable on the last day of such Interest Period; and

(ii)           if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate
Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such
Loan to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect from time to time,
payable on the last day of such Interest Period.

(b)           Additional Interest on Eurodollar
Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall pay
to each Bank, so long as such Bank shall be required under regulations of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with
respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency
Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Bank, from the date of such Loan until such
principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all
times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for each
Interest Period for such Loan from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such
Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to one hundred percent (100%) minus the
Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Bank for such Interest Period,
payable on the date on which interest is payable on such Loan.  Such additional interest shall be determined
by such Bank and notified to the Borrower through the Administrative
Agent.  A certificate as to the amount of
such additional interest submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error.

(c)           Payment of Interest.  All accrued but unpaid interest on all Loans
shall be due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates related thereto.

(d)           Maximum Interest.  The parties hereto agree that the sum of (i)
interest payable in accordance with this Section 2.09, plus (ii) other
consideration payable hereunder or under the 

 19
 

Notes which constitutes interest under Applicable
Usury Law (whether or not denoted as interest), shall not exceed the maximum
amount allowed under Applicable Usury Law.

Section 2.10.  Interest Rate Determination.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Borrower and the Banks of the applicable interest rate for each
Loan determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.09
and the Applicable Margin used in determining the applicable interest rate
under Section 2.09.

Section 2.11.  Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the pro rata
benefit of the Banks a commitment fee on the daily average unused portion of
the Total Commitment for the period from June 1, 2007 until August 31, 2007 at
the rate of 0.10% per annum, payable on August 31, 2007 (or, if earlier, on the
termination or full utilization of the Total Commitment).

Section 2.12.  Payments; Computations; Interest on
Overdue Amounts.

(a)           The Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder and under the Notes to be made by it not later than 11:00 A.M. (New
York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent
at its address referred to in Section 10.02 in same day funds.  The Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of
principal interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.13, 2.14 or 2.17) to the Banks for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment
of any other amount payable to any Bank to such Bank for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

(b)           All computations of interest based on
the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based
on the Eurodollar Rate and of commitment fee shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, and all computations
of interest pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be made by a Bank on the
basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such interest is payable.  Each
determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Section
2.09(b), by a Bank) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent error.

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

(d)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment
is due by the Borrower to any Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the 

 20
 

Borrower has made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. 
If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in
full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the
date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal
Funds Rate.

(e)           Whenever any reference is made to any
Bank’s “ratable share” or “ratable portion” (or any similar reference) of any
amount hereunder, such share or portion shall be calculated to not more than
four decimal places, rounding up or down, as appropriate.

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Applicable Margin shall automatically be increased by 2% per annum.

Section 2.13.  Consequential Losses on Eurodollar Rate
Loans.  If (a) any payment (or
purchase pursuant to Section 2.15) of principal of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period relating to such
Loan, as a result of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or Section
2.16 or acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section
8.01 or by reason of the occurrence of the Debt Issuance, in each case on a
day other than the last day of such Interest Period or for any other reason or
as a result of any such purchase; or (b) the Borrower fails to make a principal
or interest payment with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date such
payment is due and payable, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any Bank (with a
copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts required to compensate such Bank
for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a
result of any such payment or purchase, including, without limitation, any loss
(including loss of reasonably anticipated profits, except in the case of such a
purchase pursuant to Section 2.15), cost or expense incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Bank to fund or maintain such Loan.

Section
2.14.  Increased Costs.

(a)           If, due to the introduction of or any
change (including without limitation, but without duplication, any change by
way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included, in the case of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the
interpretation, application or applicability of any law, regulation, guideline
or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or
not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any
Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate
Loan to the Borrower, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by
such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient
to compensate such Bank for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased
cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank,
shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of such increased cost.  Promptly after any Bank becomes aware of any
such introduction, change or proposed compliance, such Bank shall notify the
Borrower thereof, 

 21
 

provided, that, the failure
to provide such notice shall not affect such Bank’s rights hereunder, except
that such Bank’s right to recover such increased costs from the Borrower for
any period prior to such notice shall be limited to the period of ninety (90) days
immediately prior to the date such notice is given to the Borrower.

(b)           If any Bank determines that the
introduction of or any change in any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not
having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required
or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such
Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the
existence of such Bank’s Loans or commitment to lend to the Borrower hereunder
and other commitments of this type, then, upon receipt of a demand by such Bank
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall,
within ten (10) days of such demand, notify such Bank and the Administrative
Agent that the Borrower desires to replace such Bank in accordance with Section
2.15.  If the Borrower either fails
to notify such Bank and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the prior
sentence or fails to replace such Bank within the time periods specified in Section
2.15, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or such corporation in the light of
such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment
to lend hereunder.  A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such
Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error.

Section 2.15.  Replacement of Banks.  In the event that any Bank makes a demand for
payment under Section 2.09(b)  or Section
2.14, the Borrower may within ninety (90) days of such demand, if no
Default or Event of Default then exists, replace such Bank with another
commercial bank, financial institution or other Person in accordance with all
of the provisions of Section 10.06(a) (including execution of an
appropriate Assignment); provided, that, (i) all obligations of
such Bank to lend hereunder shall be terminated and the Note payable to such
Bank and all other obligations owed to such Bank hereunder shall be purchased
in full without recourse at par plus accrued interest at or prior to such
replacement, (ii) such replacement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (iii) if such replacement bank is not already a Bank
hereunder, the Borrower (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not the replacement
bank) shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500 in
connection with such replacement, (iv) such replacement shall, from and after
such replacement, be deemed for all purposes to be a “Bank” hereunder with a
Commitment in the amount of the respective Commitment of the assigning Bank
immediately prior to such replacement (plus, if such replacement bank is
already a Bank prior to such replacement, the respective Commitment of such
Bank prior to such replacement), as such amount may be changed from time to
time pursuant hereto, and shall have all of the rights, duties and obligations
hereunder of the Bank being replaced, and (v) such other actions shall be taken
by the Borrower, such Bank and such replacement bank as may be appropriate to
effect the replacement of such Bank with such replacement bank on terms such
that such replacement bank has all of the rights, duties and obligations
hereunder as such Bank (including, without limitation, execution and delivery of
new Notes to such replacement bank, redelivery to the Borrower in due course of
the Notes payable 

 22
 

to such Bank and specification of the information
contemplated by Schedule I as to such replacement bank).

Section 2.16.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent that the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority shall assert that it is  unlawful, for
any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to make any Eurodollar Rate Loan or
to continue to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan hereunder, then, on
notice thereof to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, (a) the obligation
of each of the affected Banks to make any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b)
the Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding of each Bank which is affected
together with all accrued interest thereon and all amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.13 shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans or, at the option
of the Borrower, prepaid in full, unless such Bank shall determine in good
faith in its sole opinion that it is lawful to maintain such Loans made by such
Bank to the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto.

Section
2.17.  Taxes.

(a)           Any and all payments by the Borrower
or the Guarantor hereunder or under the Notes or any other Credit Document
shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
or withholdings with respect thereto, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent (i) taxes
imposed directly or indirectly on or measured by its income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by any jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or now or hereafter
does business or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) United States of
America income taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If the Borrower or the Guarantor shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it
hereunder or under any Note or other Credit Document to any Bank or the
Administrative Agent, (x) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) such Bank
or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) the
Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and
(z) the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.

(b)           In addition, the Borrower or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made by the Borrower or the Guarantor
hereunder or under any Note or other Credit Document executed by it or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any Note or other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).

 23
 

(c)           Within thirty (30) days after the
date of the payment of Taxes by or at the direction of the Borrower or the
Guarantor, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy
of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
Upon the request of the Borrower or the Guarantor and upon receipt of
the foregoing evidence of payment, the Bank for which the Borrower or the
Guarantor has paid such Taxes shall promptly file for such credit or benefit as
may be available to it in respect of the payment or withholding and shall
promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of the net credit or benefit received
by such Bank upon such Bank’s actual receipt of such net credit or benefit.

(d)           Without prejudice to the survival of
any other agreement of the Borrower or the Guarantor hereunder, the agreements
and obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor contained in this Section
2.17 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder
and under the Notes and other Credit Documents.

 (e)          Each Bank that is not incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that
it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of
this Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment (i) two (2) duly
completed copies of United States of America Internal Revenue Service form
W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor applicable form, as the case
may be, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, or (ii) a statement substantially in the form of
Exhibit F hereto together with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN,
upon which the Borrower is entitled to rely, from any such Bank that has not at
the time it becomes a party hereto been named in any notice issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury (or such Secretary’s authorized delegate) pursuant to
Sections 881(c)(2)(B) or 871(h)(5) of the Code, or any successor form or
statement prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service in order to establish that
such Bank is entitled to treat the interest payments under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents as portfolio interest that is exempt from
withholding tax under the Code.

Section
2.18.  Payments Pro Rata.  Except as provided in Sections 2.13, 2.14,
2.16 or 2.17, each of the Banks agrees that if it should receive
any payment (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the
exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross
action, by the enforcement of any right under this Agreement or the Notes or
other Credit Documents, or otherwise) in respect of any obligation of the
Borrower or Guarantor hereunder or under the Notes or other Credit Documents of
a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Banks is
in a greater proportion than the total amount of principal, interest, fees or
any other obligation incurred hereunder, as the case may be, then owed and due
to such Bank bears to the total amount of principal, interest, fees or any such
other obligation then owed and due to all of the Banks immediately prior to
such receipt, then such Bank receiving such excess payment shall purchase for
cash without recourse from the other Banks an interest in the obligations of
the Borrower to such Banks in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all of the Banks in the aggregate unpaid amount of principal,
interest, fees or any such other obligation, as the case may be, owed to all of
the 

 24
 

Banks, provided, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Bank, such purchase from each other Bank shall be rescinded and each such other
Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of
such other Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount
of the participation purchased from such other Bank as a result of such excess
payment to (ii) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such other Bank’s ratable share (according to
the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Bank’s required repayment to (b)
the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or
other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total
amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees
that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section
2.18 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights
of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation.

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTY

Section 4.01.  Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally
guarantees the punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations when due, whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and agrees to pay any and all
reasonable expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Bank in enforcing any rights hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts which
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower
under this Agreement or any of the Notes but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower.  The guaranty set forth in this Article IV
is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

Section 4.02.  Payment.  At the time the Guarantor pays any sum which
may become due to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of a Bank under the
terms of this Article IV, written notice of such payment shall be
delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Guarantor, and in the absence of
such notice, any sum received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Bank
on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusively deemed
paid by the Borrower.  All sums paid to
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of a Bank, by the Guarantor may be applied
by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of a Bank, at its discretion, upon any
of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 4.03.  Waiver.  The Guarantor hereby waives all notices in
connection herewith or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations,
including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of
acceleration, and waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest, and suit on
the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in the collection of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent
nor any Bank shall be required to first endeavor to collect any of the
Guaranteed Obligations from the Borrower, or any other party liable for payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations (hereinafter referred to as an “Obligated
Party”), before requiring Guarantor to pay the full amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations.  Without
impairing the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Bank against the
Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Obligated Party, suit may be brought and
maintained against the Guarantor at the election of the Administrative Agent or
any Bank with or without joinder of the Borrower, or any other Obligated Party,
any right to any such joinder being hereby waived by the Guarantor.

Section 4.04.  Acknowledgments and Representations.  The Guarantor acknowledges and represents to
the Administrative Agent and each Bank that it is receiving direct and indirect
financial and other benefits as a result of this Article IV; represents
to the Administrative Agent and each Bank that after giving effect to this Article
IV and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby it is, and will be,
Solvent; acknowledges that it will derive substantial direct and indirect
benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; acknowledges that
its liability hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
liability or obligation to the Administrative Agent and each Bank, whether the
same is incurred through the execution of a note, a similar guaranty, through
endorsement, or otherwise; acknowledges that neither the 

 27
 

Administrative Agent, any Bank nor any officer,
employee, agent, attorney or other representative of any of them has made any
representation, warranty or statement to the Guarantor to induce it to execute
this Agreement; and acknowledges that it has made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement and undertake the guaranty set forth in
this Article IV.

Section 4.05.  Subordination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any right, claim or action which the Guarantor may have
against the Borrower or any other Obligated Party arising out of or in
connection with the guaranty set forth in this Article IV or any other
document evidencing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without
limitation, any right or claim of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement,
exoneration or indemnity, shall be subordinated to the prior payment in full of
any amounts then due under this Agreement or the Notes.  If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor
on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnity
notwithstanding the foregoing subordination, such amount shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative
Agent to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations then due.

Section 4.06.  Guaranty Absolute.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that its
obligations under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of (a) the validity or enforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or of the Notes, or any other Credit Document evidencing all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) the absence of any attempt to collect
the Guaranteed Obligations from the Borrower or any other Obligated Party or
other action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver or consent by the
Administrative Agent and/or any Bank with respect to any provision of any
instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or any
other agreement now or hereafter executed by the Borrower and delivered to the
Administrative Agent and/or any Bank, (d) the surrender, release, exchange, or
alteration by the Administrative Agent and/or any Bank of any security or
collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, or (e) any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor.

Section 4.07.  No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right.  The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.

Section 4.08.  Continuing Guaranty.  The guaranty set forth in this Article IV
is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until
the later of (i) the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all
other amounts payable under this guaranty and (ii) the expiration or
termination of each Commitment of each Bank to the Borrower, (b) be binding
upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns, (c) inure to the benefit of,
and be enforceable by, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks and their
respective successors, transferees and assigns, and (d) not be terminated by
the Guarantor or the Borrower.

 28

Section 4.09.  Limitation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
IV, the Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of
the following amounts minus, in either case, $100.00:

(a)           the lowest amount which would render
the guaranty pursuant to this Article IV a fraudulent transfer under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.); or

(b)           if the guaranty pursuant to this Article
IV is subject to the UFTA or the UFCA or any similar or analogous statute
or rule of law, then the lowest amount which would render the guaranty pursuant
to this Article IV a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under
the UFTA, the UFCA, or any such similar or analogous statute or rule of law.

The amount of the
limitation imposed upon the Guarantor’s liability under the terms of the
preceding sentence shall be subject to redetermination as of each date a “transfer”
is deemed to have been made on account of the Guaranty pursuant to this Article
IV under applicable law.

Section 4.10.  Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event that, pursuant to any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief
law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, any Bank must rescind or
restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by such Bank in satisfaction
of the Guaranteed Obligations, any prior release or discharge from the terms of
the guaranty set forth in this Article IV given to the Guarantor by the
Banks shall be without effect, and the guaranty set forth in this Article IV
shall remain in full force and effect. 
It is the intention of the Guarantor that its obligations hereunder
shall not be discharged except by its performance of such obligations and then
only to the extent of such performance.

Section 8.01.  Events of Default.  If any of the following events (each
individually, an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a)           the Borrower (i) shall fail to pay
any principal of any Loan when the same becomes due and payable in accordance
with the terms hereof, or (ii) shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or
any fee or other amount to be paid by it hereunder within three (3) calendar
days of the date on which such payment is due; or

(b)           any certification, representation or
warranty made by the Borrower or the Guarantor herein or by the Borrower or the
Guarantor (or any of their respective officers) in writing (including
representations and warranties deemed made pursuant to Sections 2.06(a)(G)
or 3.02) under or in connection with any Credit Document shall prove to
have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; or

(c)           the Borrower or the Guarantor shall
fail to perform or observe (i) any term, covenant or agreement contained in Sections
6.02 or 6.05 (other than with respect to maintaining the corporate
existence of the Borrower or the Guarantor or maintaining any Corporate
Franchise of the Borrower or the Guarantor which is material to the Borrower’s
or the Guarantor’s business and operations) on its part to be performed or
observed and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) Business Days after
the earlier of the date notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower or
the Guarantor by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) any term, covenant or
agreement contained in any Credit Document (other than a term, covenant or
agreement described in clause (i) of this clause (c)) on its part
to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue for twenty (20)
Business Days after the earlier of the date notice thereof shall have been
given to the Borrower or the Guarantor by the Administrative Agent; or

the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required
prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and such failure shall continue
after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or
instrument relating to such Debt, or any event of default or other event shall
occur or condition shall exist under any agreement or instrument creating or
evidencing such Debt in such principal amount, and shall continue after the
applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument if
the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of such
Debt; provided, however, an Event of Default for purposes of this
clause (d) shall not be deemed to exist due to the acceleration of the 

 37
 

maturity of any obligation to a Bank or an affiliate
(within the meaning of Regulation U) of a Bank solely by reason of a default in
the performance of a term or condition in any agreement or instrument under or
by which such obligation is created, evidenced or secured, which term or

bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the
entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or
other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and,
in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by
it), shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or
the Borrower, the Guarantor, or any Significant Subsidiary shall take any
corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this clause
(e); or

payment of money in excess of $30,000,000 shall be rendered against the
Borrower, the Guarantor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries and remain
unsatisfied and either (i) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by
any creditor upon such judgment or order or (ii) there shall be any period of
sixty consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or
order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or

(g)           the Borrower shall cease to own
directly or indirectly 100% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of the
Guarantor; or

(h)           any Person shall become, directly or
indirectly, the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the outstanding voting
common stock of the Borrower;

then, and in any such
event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the

without requirement of any presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to
accelerate, further notice of acceleration or other further notice of any kind
(other than the notice expressly provided for above), all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower and the Guarantor; provided, however,
that in the event of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(e)
with respect to the Borrower or the Guarantor, (A) the obligation of each Bank
to make Loans shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Loans and Notes,
all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and 

 38
 

be due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower and the Guarantor.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section
9.01.  Authorization and Action.  Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in
so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority
Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to
this Agreement or applicable law.  The
Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Bank prompt notice of each notice
given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section
9.02.  Administrative Agent’s
Reliance, Etc.  Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable to the Banks for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable to the Banks for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be
responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties or representations
(whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii)
shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on
the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and
records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) shall not be
responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no
liability to the Banks under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed
or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 9.03.  Defaults.  The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other
than a failure to make a payment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless the Administrative Agent has received
notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that
such notice is a “Notice of 

 39
 

Default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Banks.  The
Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.08 hereof) take such
action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Banks,
provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received
such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks except to
the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or
not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Majority
Banks or all of the Banks.

Section
9.04.  Citibank and Affiliates.  With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made
by it, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as
any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include Citibank in its individual capacity.  Citibank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally
engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and
any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any
such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were not the Administrative Agent and
without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section
9.05.  Bank Credit Decision.  Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based
on the financial statements referred to in Section 5.04 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement.

Section
9.06.  Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be
removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent
that, unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be
continuing, is acceptable to the Borrower. 
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after
the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the
Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws
of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having total assets
of at least $1,000,000,000.  Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Article IX shall 

 40
 

inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 9.07.  Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.  The Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners
named on the cover page of this Agreement, in their capacities as such, shall
have no obligation, responsibility or required performance hereunder and shall
not become liable in any manner to any party hereto in respect hereof.

Section 9.08.  Indemnification.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT BE
REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY ACTION HEREUNDER OR TO PROSECUTE OR DEFEND ANY SUIT IN
RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES, UNLESS INDEMNIFIED TO ITS SATISFACTION
BY THE BANKS AGAINST LOSS, COST, LIABILITY AND EXPENSE.  IF ANY INDEMNITY FURNISHED TO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BECOME IMPAIRED, IT MAY CALL FOR ADDITIONAL
INDEMNITY AND CEASE TO DO THE ACTS INDEMNIFIED AGAINST UNTIL SUCH ADDITIONAL
INDEMNITY IS GIVEN.  IN ADDITION, THE
BANKS, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO
THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER OR THE GUARANTOR) FROM AND AGAINST ANY
AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS,
AGREEMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO
OR ARISING OUT OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT,
NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH
LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, AGREEMENTS,
SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS RESULTING FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH BANK EXPRESSLY AGREES TO
INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE.  EACH BANK AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE OF ANY
OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES INCURRED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION,
MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT OR ENFORCEMENT WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR
RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS) TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY THE BORROWER OR THE
GUARANTOR.

Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment,
the Loans owing to it, and the Notes held by it) with the consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld, of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided,
however, that (i) each such assignment of an assigning Bank’s Commitment
shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of such Bank’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Commitment, (ii)
the amount of the resulting Commitment and Loans of the assigning Bank (unless
it is assigning all its Commitment) and the assignee Bank pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment with respect to such
assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 and shall be an integral
multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register, an Assignment, together with the Note or Notes subject to such
assignment and shall pay all legal and other expenses in respect of such
assignment and (v) each Eligible Assignee not already a Bank hereunder shall
pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500 in connection with
such assignment.  Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment, which effective date shall be at least three (3) Business
Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto for all purposes and, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment, have the rights
and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (B) such Bank thereunder shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations

Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b)           Terms of Assignments.  By executing and delivering an Assignment,
the Bank thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each
other and the other parties hereto the matters set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3
of such Assignment.

its address referred to on Schedule I a copy of each Assignment delivered
to and accepted by it and a register for the 

 45
 

recordation of the names
and addresses of the Banks and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error, and the Borrower, the
Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower, the Guarantor or any Bank at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)           Procedures.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment executed by
a Bank and an Eligible Assignee, together with the Note or Notes subject to
such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment has been
completed and is in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit C,
(i) accept such Assignment, (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Guarantor.  Within five (5) Business Days
after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered
Note, a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to
the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and, if such assigning
Bank has retained any Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of such
Bank in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such Notes shall be dated the effective date
of such Assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the
attached Exhibit A.

(e)           Participations.  Each Bank may sell participations to one or
more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Notes held by it); provided,
however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall
remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv)
the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such
Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall have no duties or
responsibilities to the participant, (v) such Bank shall not agree to obtain
the participant’s consent to any change, waiver or other matter under this
Agreement, except for changes in the principal amount of such Bank’s Commitment
or any Note payable to such Bank in which the participant has an interest,
reductions in fees or interest payable to such Bank, extending the date any
amount is due hereunder to such Bank, or extending the Maturity Date for Loans
made by such Bank, and (vi) such Bank shall give prompt notice to the Borrower
of each such participation sold by such Bank. 
No participants shall have any rights under any provisions of any of the
Credit Documents.

(f)            Permitted Assignments.  Notwithstanding any other provision set forth
in this Agreement, any Bank may assign all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payments of principal
and/or interest under any Notes held by it) to any subsidiary of such Bank or
to any Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent from the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that such Bank shall
not be released from any of its obligations hereunder as a result of such
assignment.

Section 10.07.  Governing Law.  This Agreement, the Notes and the other
Credit Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Texas.

Section 10.08.  Interest.

(a)           It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall conform strictly to
Applicable Usury Laws from time to time in effect.  Accordingly, if the transactions with the
Administrative Agent or any Bank contemplated hereby would be usurious under
Applicable Usury Law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Notes, or any other agreement entered into in
connection with or as security for this Agreement or the Notes, it is agreed as
follows:  (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Usury Law that is
contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Administrative
Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Notes, or under
any other agreement entered into in connection with or as security for this
Agreement or the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount
allowed by such Applicable Usury Law and any excess shall be canceled
automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at the option of the
Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, be credited by the
Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount
of the obligations owed to the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case
may be, by the Borrower or refunded by the Administrative Agent or such Bank,
as the case may be, to the Borrower, and (ii) in the event that the maturity of
any Note or other obligation payable to the Administrative Agent or such Bank,
as the case may be, is accelerated or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under Applicable
Usury Law, may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such
Applicable Usury Law and excess interest, if any to the Administrative Agent or
such Bank, as the case may be, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or
prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall, at the option of the Administrative
Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, be credited by the Administrative Agent
or such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount of the obligations
owed to the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, by the Borrower
or refunded by the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, to
the Borrower.

(b)           In the event that at any time the
rate of interest applicable to any Loan made by any Bank would exceed the
Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest payable under this Agreement or the
Notes to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reductions in the
applicable rate of interest hereunder or under the Notes shall not reduce the
rate of interest charged hereunder or under the Notes below the Maximum Rate
until the total amount of interest accrued under this Agreement and the Notes
from and after the date hereof equals the amount of interest that would have
accrued hereon or thereon if the rates of interest otherwise applicable to this
Agreement and the Notes (without limitation by the Maximum Rate) had at all
times been in effect.  In the event that
upon the final payment of the Loans made by any Bank and termination of the
Commitment of such Bank, the total amount of interest paid to such Bank hereunder
and under the Notes is less than the total amount of interest which would have
accrued if the interest rates applicable to such Loans pursuant to Section
2.09(a), (b) and (c) had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower
agrees to pay to such Bank, to the extent permitted by Applicable Usury Law, an
amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest
which 

 47
 

would have accrued on
such Loans if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect or (ii) the
amount of interest rates applicable to such Loans pursuant to Section
2.09(a), (b) and (c) had at all times been in effect over (b) the amount of
interest otherwise accrued on such Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

(c)           The maximum non-usurious rate of
interest shall be determined by utilizing the applicable weekly ceiling from
time to time in effect pursuant to Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code.  Pursuant to Section 346.004 of the Texas
Finance Code, the parties hereto agree that in no event will the provisions of Chapter
346 of the Texas Finance Code be applicable to the transactions contemplated by
the Credit Documents.

Section 10.09.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.10.  Survival of Agreements, Representations
and Warranties, Etc.  All warranties,
representations and covenants made by the Borrower or the Guarantor or any
officer of the Borrower or the Guarantor herein or in any certificate or other
document delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Banks and shall survive the issuance and delivery
of the Notes and the making of the Loans regardless of any investigation.  The indemnities and other obligations of the
Borrower contained in this Agreement, and the indemnities by the Banks in favor
of the Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents, will survive
the repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.11.  The Borrower’s Right to Apply Deposits.  In the event that any Bank is placed in
receivership or enters a similar proceeding, the Borrower may, to the full
extent permitted by law, make any payment due to such Bank hereunder, to the
extent of finally collected unrestricted deposits of the Borrower in U.S.
Dollars held by such Bank, by giving notice to the Administrative Agent and
such Bank directing such Bank to apply such deposits to such indebtedness.  If the amount of such deposits is
insufficient to pay such indebtedness then due and owing in full, the Borrower
shall pay the balance of such insufficiency in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 10.12.  Confidentiality.  Each Bank and the Administrative Agent agree
that they will not disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower and the
Guarantor (other than to employees, auditors, accountants, counsel or other
professional advisors of the Agent or any Bank who have a contractual,
fiduciary or professional duty to maintain the confidentiality of the
information) any information with respect to the Borrower or the Guarantor or
their Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement and which is
not disclosed in an SEC Filing, a report to shareholders, a press release, or
has otherwise become generally available to the public otherwise than through a
breach hereof (the “Confidential Information”), provided, that,
any Bank may disclose any such Confidential Information (a) as may be required
or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to or required
by any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction
over such Bank or submitted to or required by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or the Federal Deposit 

 48
 

Insurance Corporation or
similar organizations (whether in the United States of America or elsewhere) or
their successors, (b) as may be required or appropriate in response to any
summons or subpoena in connection with any litigation, (c) in order to comply
with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Bank, and (d) to
an Eligible Assignee, but not to a prospective participant, in connection with
any contemplated transfer of any of the Notes or any interest therein by such
Bank, provided, that, such Eligible Assignee executes an
agreement with the Borrower and the Guarantor agreeing to comply with the
provisions contained in this Section 10.12.  In the event that the Administrative Agent or
any Bank becomes legally compelled or otherwise obligated to disclose any of
the Confidential Information and unless otherwise prohibited by applicable
banking laws or regulations, such Person will promptly, after obtaining
knowledge of its obligation to disclose such information, provide the Borrower
with notice so that the Borrower may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy or waive compliance with this Section.  In the event such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, such Person will furnish only that portion of the
Confidential Information which it is advised by legal counsel is legally
required and will exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurances that
confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.  In the event that compliance with this
Section is waived by the Borrower, such Person may disclose any and all
information at issue without liability to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
other Person.

Section 10.13.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent,
each Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower
and the Guarantor shall not have the right to assign any of their respective
rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of
the Banks.

Section 10.14.  Entire Agreement.  PURSUANT TO SECTION 26.02 OF THE TEXAS
BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, A LOAN AGREEMENT IN WHICH THE AMOUNT INVOLVED IN
THE LOAN AGREEMENT EXCEEDS $50,000 IN VALUE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNLESS THE LOAN
AGREEMENT IS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PARTY TO BE BOUND OR THAT PARTY’S
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.

THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO AN AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH
SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM THE WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT, AND ANY PRIOR ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED INTO THE LOAN
AGREEMENT.  THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND
THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG 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.

Section 10.15.  USA PATRIOT ACT.  Each Bank hereby notifies
the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act.

[     ], 2007

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Brinker International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the
order of

designated by the Bank, the principal amount of $

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
hereof from the date hereof until such principal amount is paid in full, at
such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Bridge

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United

accelerate, notice of acceleration and any other notice of any kind, except as
provided in the Bridge Loan Agreement. 
No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder
on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

with, the laws of the State of Texas.

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF BORROWER’S
AND GUARANTOR’S COUNSEL

 

 

[                    ,
2007]

To each of the Banks
parties to the 

Bridge Loan Agreement herein
described 

and to Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is
furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iv) of the $400,000,000 Bridge Loan Agreement, dated as of April
23, 2007 (the “Bridge Loan
Agreement”), among Brinker International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as
borrower (the “Borrower”); Brinker Restaurant Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”); the banks party thereto (the “Banks”);
and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for such Banks (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”).  Capitalized
terms defined in the Bridge Loan
Agreement are used herein with the same meaning unless otherwise defined
herein.

DOCUMENTS
EXAMINED

In our capacity as
special counsel for the Borrower and the Guarantor, we have examined the
originals, copies or forms, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of the following documents (the “Documents”):

(i)            The Bridge Loan Agreement;

(ii)           Certificate of Incorporation of the
Borrower as filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on September 30, 1983
and all amendments thereto through the date hereof (the “Borrower Certificate
of Incorporation”);

(iii)          Certificate of Incorporation of the
Guarantor as filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on June 19, 1990 and
all amendments thereto through the date hereof (the “Guarantor Certificate of
Incorporation”);

(iv)          Bylaws of the Borrower (the “Borrower
Bylaws”); and

(v)           Bylaws of the Guarantor (the “Guarantor
Bylaws”).

In addition, we
have examined and relied upon such certificates of public officials and other
certificates, opinions and instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary
as a basis 

 D-1
 

for our opinion
hereinafter set forth. As to matters of fact material to our opinion, we have,
when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon
certificates of representatives of the Borrower and the Guarantor and upon
representations and warranties set forth in the Bridge Loan Agreement, and have not conducted any special inquiry
or investigation in respect of such matters.

As used herein,
(i) “Disclosed” means disclosed in or contemplated by the Bridge Loan Agreement or any SEC Filing
and (ii) “Knowledge” means the current, actual knowledge of the attorneys of
this firm who are involved in the representation of the Borrower and the
Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Bridge Loan Agreement, without any
independent investigation.

ASSUMPTIONS

In rendering this
opinion, we have assumed, with your consent and without any independent
investigation, all of the following:

(A)          the genuineness of all signatures
(other than those of the officers of the Borrower and the Guarantor who
executed the Bridge Loan Agreement
and the Notes), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted
as certified, conformed or photostatic copies;

(B)           that each of the parties to the
Documents other than the Borrower and the Guarantor (the “Other Parties”) is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has full power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Documents to
which it is a party, that each of the Documents has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto, that each of the
Documents constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the
Other Parties thereto and is enforceable against the Other Parties in
accordance with its terms that each of the Other Parties has fulfilled and
complied with its obligations under the Documents to the extent required
thereunder to date, and that the Borrower and the Guarantor have received or
will concurrently herewith receive the consideration provided in the Documents
to be received at or prior to the date hereof;

(C)           that all of the Documents will be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; and

(D)          that the representations and
warranties as to factual matters contained in the Documents are true and
correct.

OPINION

Based upon the
foregoing and having due regard for the legal considerations we deem relevant,
and subject to the further qualifications and limitations hereinafter set
forth, we are of the opinion that:

 D-2
 

1.             Each of the Borrower and the
Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”),
and has the corporate power and authority under the DGCL to enter into and
perform the Bridge Loan Agreement and the Notes.

2.             The Bridge Loan Agreement has been
duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower, and
constitutes and each Note when duly executed and delivered for value in
accordance with the Bridge Loan Agreement will constitute, a valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with
its terms, in each case except as enforcement of the Bridge Loan Agreement or
the Notes may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations
on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.

3.             The Bridge Loan Agreement has been duly
and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor, and
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against
the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on
availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.

4.             Neither the execution and delivery
of the Bridge Loan Agreement or the Notes or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated therein will violate any provision of the Borrower
Certificate of Incorporation, the Guarantor Certificate of Incorporation, the
Borrower Bylaws or the Guarantor Bylaws, or to our Knowledge, conflict with or
violate any statute, judgment, order, decree or regulation or rule of any
court, governmental authority or arbitrator applicable or relating to the
Borrower or the Guarantor.

5.             To our Knowledge and except as
Disclosed, there are  no actions, suits,
proceedings or claims or investigations pending or threatened against or
affecting the Borrower or the Guarantor or any of their respective properties
before any court, governmental agency or regulatory authority which would (i)
have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) impair the ability of the Borrower or
the Guarantor to perform their obligations under the Bridge Loan Agreement or
the Notes.

6.             Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor
is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

FURTHER QUALIFICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The opinions
expressed above are expressly subject to the following qualifications and
limitations:

(a)           We express no opinion as to (i) the
specific remedy that any court or other authority or body might grant in
connection with the enforcement of rights under any of the 

 D-3
 

Documents, as to the
availability of equitable remedies, as such, in connection with the enforcement
of such rights, or as to the effects of the application of principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings in law or in
equity), (ii) the application of any securities laws to any of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Documents, or (iii) the effect of any environmental,
antitrust or tax laws of the United States of America or of the State of Texas.

(b)           We express no opinion as to the
validity or enforceability of (i) any provisions purporting to entitle a party
to indemnification or release from liability in respect of any matters arising
in whole or in part by reason of any illegal, wrongful, knowing or negligent
act or omission of such party, (ii) any provisions that purport to restrict
access to or waive remedies or defenses, to waive any rights to notices or to
establish evidentiary standards, (iii) any provisions relating to liquidated
damages, waivers, releases, suretyship defenses, delays or omissions of
enforcement of rights or remedies, severability, consent judgments or summary
proceedings, (iv) any provisions purporting to irrevocably appoint
attorneys-in-fact or other agents, (v) any provisions purporting to restrict or
limit transfer, alienation or encumbering of property, (vi) any provisions that
relate to submissions to jurisdiction, waivers or ratifications of future acts,
the rights of, third parties or transferability of assets which by their nature
are nontransferable, (vii) provisions that contain any agreement to agree, or
(viii) provisions that purport to negate or control over present or future laws
which are contrary to such provisions.

(c)           To the extent that the opinions given
in Sections 2, 3 and 4 constitute opinions with respect to laws relating to
usury, such opinions are expressly limited to the opinion that the Bridge Loan
Agreement and the Notes do not require the payment of interest at a rate which
is usurious.  In rendering such opinion,
we have relied upon and assumed the applicability of Chapter 303 of the Texas
Finance Code, as currently in effect, and have assumed that (i) there are no
fees, points or other charges or forms of compensation to Administrative Agent
or any Bank in respect of the Bridge Loan Agreement or the issuance of the
Notes or any commitment to pay any such charges or other forms of compensation,
other than those specifically disclosed in the Bridge Loan Agreement, (ii) all
fees and charges provided for in the Bridge Loan Agreement and the Notes to be paid
by Borrower or Guarantor to Administrative Agent or any Bank constitute bona
fide commitment fees and not interest, (iii) all charges for reimbursement of
services paid to third parties will be for actual out-of-pocket expenses paid
to third parties for services actually rendered by such parties, (iv)
Administrative Agent, the Banks, Borrower and Guarantor will comply with the “usury
savings clause” and other provisions of the Bridge Loan Agreement to the effect
that the Borrower and the Guarantor will never be required to pay interest
(including all compensation that constitutes interest under applicable law) on
the Notes or otherwise in respect of the Bridge Loan Agreement in excess of the
maximum rate or amount of interest that may lawfully be contracted for, charged
or collected thereon or in connection therewith under applicable Texas law
(collectively, the “Savings Clauses”), and (v) in complying with the provisions
of the Saving Clauses, Administrative Agent and the Banks will give due
consideration to all fees, charges or other compensation which under applicable
Texas law may be or is deemed to be interest.

 D-4
 

(d)           We are members of the Bar of the
State of Texas. This opinion relates only to the laws of the State of Texas and
the DGCL as currently in effect, and we express no opinion with regard to any
matters that may be governed or affected by any other laws.

(e)           This opinion is limited solely to the
matters stated herein and no opinion is to be inferred or may be implied beyond
the matters expressly stated herein.

The opinions
expressed herein are solely for the benefit of you and your counsel in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Bridge Loan Agreement and
may not be used or relied upon by any other person or entity or for any other
purpose whatsoever.  The opinions
expressed herein are as of the date first set forth above, and we do not assume
or undertake any responsibility or obligation to supplement or to update such
opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our
attention or any changes in the laws which may hereafter occur.

Very truly yours,

LEGAL OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL TO

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

[                    ,
2007]

To each of the Banks parties to

the Bridge Loan Agreement
herein described and to

Citibank, N.A.,

as Administrative
Agent

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as
special counsel to Citibank, N.A., acting for itself and as Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of that
certain Bridge Loan Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2007 (the “Bridge
Loan Agreement”), among Brinker International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as borrower (the “Borrower”), Brinker Restaurant
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”),
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and
each of you (the “Banks”).  Terms
defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

In that
connection, we have examined the following documents:

(1)           counterparts of the Bridge Loan
Agreement, executed by the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Banks, and the
Administrative Agent, respectively; and

(2)           the opinion dated as of the date
hereof of Jackson Walker L.L.P. for each of the Borrower and the Guarantor (the
“Opinion”).

In our examination
of the documents referred to above, we have assumed the authenticity of all
such documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures
and the conformity to the originals of all such documents submitted to us as
copies.  We have also assumed that each
of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Banks, and the Administrative Agent has
duly executed and delivered, with all necessary power and authority (corporate
and otherwise), the Bridge Loan Agreement. 
We have also assumed that no Bank has requested that the Opinion required
by Section 3.01(a)(iv) of the Bridge Loan Agreement contain any
other matters not contained in the form of opinion set forth as Exhibit D
to the Bridge Loan Agreement.

Based upon the
foregoing examination of documents and assumptions and upon such other
investigation as we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that the
Opinion is substantially responsive to the requirements of the Bridge Loan
Agreement.

 E-1
 

This opinion is solely
for the benefit of the Banks, the Administrative Agent, their respective
successors, assigns, participants and other transferees and may be relied upon
only by such Persons.

 

Very truly yours.
