                                     FORM OF
                                PLEDGE AGREEMENT

         1. Recitals.

and assigns, "Borrower"), the lending institutions listed on Annex I to the

Borrower as described in the Credit Agreement.

the foregoing; (ii) obtain payment, performance or observance of any and all of

or dispose of any of the Collateral or any other collateral securing the
Obligations, including, without limitation, costs and expenses for appraisals,
assessments and audits of Pledgor or any such collateral; or (b) incidental or
related to (a) above, including, without limitation, interest thereupon from the
date incurred, imposed or asserted until paid.

         3. Security Interest. Pledgor hereby grants to Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and an assignment of the
Collateral as security for the Obligations. For the better protection of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, Pledgor has executed appropriate
transfer powers, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with respect to the Pledged
Securities and, concurrently herewith, is depositing the Pledged Securities and
the aforesaid transfer powers with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Lenders. Pledgor authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, at
any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to transfer the Pledged
Securities into the name of Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent's
nominee, but Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to do so.
Notwithstanding any provision or inference herein or elsewhere to the contrary,
Administrative Agent shall have no right to vote the Pledged Securities at any
time unless and until there shall have occurred an Event of Default.

         4. Pledgor's Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and
warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

         4.1. Pledgor is the legal record and beneficial owner of, and has good
and marketable title to, the Pledged Securities, and the Pledged Securities are
not subject to any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest,
charge, option, warrant or other encumbrance whatsoever, nor to any agreement
purporting to grant to any third party a security interest in the property or
assets of Pledgor that would include such Pledged Securities, except the
security interest created by this Agreement or otherwise securing only
Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

         4.2. All of the Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and
validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable.

         4.3. Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all of
the Pledged Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         4.4. No consent, license, permit, approval or authorization, filing or
declaration with any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, and no consent
of any other Person, is required to be obtained by Pledgor in connection with
the pledge of the Pledged Securities hereunder, that has not been obtained or
made, and is not in full force and effect.

         4.5. The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Securities
hereunder creates a valid first lien on, and a first perfected security interest
in, the Pledged Securities and the proceeds thereof.

                                       3
<PAGE>
         4.6. The Pledged Securities constitute one hundred percent (100%) of
the outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary (other than a Foreign
Subsidiary) of Pledgor.

         4.7. Pledgor fully anticipates that the Obligations will be repaid
without the necessity of selling the Pledged Securities.

         4.8. Pledgor has received consideration that is the reasonable
equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that Pledgor has incurred to
Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Pledgor is not insolvent, as defined in
any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Pledgor be rendered insolvent
by the execution and delivery of this Agreement to Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders. Pledgor is not engaged or about to engage in any
business or transaction for which the assets retained by Pledgor are or will be
an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the
obligations to Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. Pledgor
does not intend to incur debts beyond Pledgor 's ability to pay them as they
mature.

         4.9. If the Pledged Securities are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144, or any amendment thereof, promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as determined by counsel for
Pledgor, Pledgor further represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in
writing to Lender, (a) Pledgor has been the beneficial owner of the Pledged
Securities for a period of at least two years prior to the date hereof, (b) the
full purchase price or other consideration for the Pledged Securities has been
paid or given at least two years prior to the date hereof, and (c) Pledgor does
not have a short position in or any put or other option to dispose of any
securities of the same class as the Pledged Securities or any other securities
convertible into securities of such class.

         5. Termination. At such time as the Obligations shall have been
irrevocably paid in full, the Commitment, as defined in the Credit Agreement,
terminated, and the Credit Agreement terminated and not replaced by any other
credit facility with Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Pledgor shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement. Upon written request of Pledgor,
Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to Pledgor appropriate
releases with respect to the Collateral and return all of the Pledged Securities
to Pledgor.

         6. Additional Covenants of Pledgor.

         6.1. Pledgor covenants and agrees to defend the right, title and
security interest of Administrative Agent and the Lenders in and to the Pledged
Securities and the proceeds thereof, and to maintain and preserve the lien and
security interest provided for by this Agreement against the claim and demands
of all Persons, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect.

         6.2. Pledgor covenants and agrees not to sell, assign, transfer,
exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or
create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation,
security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any
of the Pledged Securities, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof,
except for the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement and any
security agreement securing only Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

                                       4
<PAGE>
         6.3. Pledgor covenants and agrees (a) to cooperate, in good faith, with
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to do or cause to be done all such
other acts as may be necessary to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent and
the Lenders under this Agreement, (b) not to take any action, or to fail to take
any action that would be adverse to the interest of Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in the Collateral and hereunder, and (c) to make any sale or sales of
any portion or all of the Pledged Securities valid and binding and in compliance
with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions,
decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental
instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale
or sales at Pledgor's expense.

         7. Events of Default.

         7.1. Any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Agreement: (a) an Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement,
shall occur under the Credit Agreement; (b) any representation, warranty or
statement made by Pledgor in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any other
writing received by Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the
Obligations shall be false or erroneous in any material respect; or (c) Pledgor
shall fail or omit to perform or observe any agreement made by Pledgor in or
pursuant to this Agreement or in any other writing received by Administrative
Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto.

         7.2. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and at all
times thereafter, Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may sell, assign,
transfer and deliver the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any time, or from
time to time. No prior notice need be given to Pledgor or to any other Person in
the case of any sale of Collateral that Administrative Agent determines to be
declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any securities
exchange, over-the-counter market or other recognized market, but in any other
case Administrative Agent shall give Pledgor no fewer than ten (10) days prior
notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is
to be made. Pledgor waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the
extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any
kind in respect of any such sale. At any such public sale, Administrative Agent
or any Lender may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any
right of redemption, all of which rights Pledgor hereby waives and releases.
After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any,
secured by liens having precedence over this Agreement, Administrative Agent may
apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the
Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Any excess, to
the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to Pledgor, and the obligors on the
Obligations shall remain liable for any deficiency. In addition, Administrative
Agent shall at all times have the right to obtain new appraisals of Pledgor or
the Collateral, the cost of which shall be paid by Pledgor.

         8. Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to make, constitute and appoint
any officer or agent of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may select,
in its exclusive discretion, as

                                       5
<PAGE>
Pledgor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse Pledgor's
name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for
Administrative Agent to take actions with respect to the Collateral after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, actions
necessary for Administrative Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise
transfer title in or dispose of the Collateral to any Person. Pledgor ratifies
all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement.

         9. Costs and Expenses. If Pledgor fails to comply with any of its
obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent may do so in Pledgor's name or in
Administrative Agent's name, but at Pledgor's expense, and Pledgor hereby agrees
to reimburse Administrative Agent and the Lenders in full for all expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in protecting, defending and maintaining the Collateral. Without
limiting the foregoing, any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, of
whatever kind or nature, including the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the filing or recording of any documents (including
all taxes in connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge
of any taxes, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise protecting,
maintaining or preserving the Collateral, or in defending or prosecuting any
actions or proceedings arising out of or related to the Collateral, shall be
borne and paid by Pledgor upon request of Administrative Agent.

         10. Notice. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices
and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
telegraphic, telex, facsimile transmission or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, transmitted, cabled or delivered, if to Pledgor, at the
address specified on the signature page of this Agreement, if to any Lender, at
its address specified for such Lender on Annex I to the Credit Agreement, and if
to Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office, as defined in the Credit
Agreement; or at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a
written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications
shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by
overnight courier, and shall be effective when received.

         11. Interpretation. Each right, power or privilege specified or
referred to in this Agreement is in addition to any other rights, powers and
privileges that Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have or acquire by
operation of law, by other contract or otherwise. No course of dealing in
respect of, nor any omission or delay in the exercise of, any right, power or
privilege by Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further
or other exercise thereof or of any other, as each right, power or privilege may
be exercised by Administrative Agent and the Lenders either independently or
concurrently with other rights, powers and privileges and as often and in such
order as Administrative Agent and the Lenders may deem expedient. No waiver or
consent granted by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of this
Agreement shall be binding upon Administrative Agent and the Lenders unless
specifically granted in writing, which writing shall be strictly construed.

         12. Assignment and Successors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by
Pledgor without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. This
Agreement shall bind the

                                       6
<PAGE>
successors and permitted assigns of Pledgor and shall benefit the successors and
assigns of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

         13. Severability. If, at any time, one or more provisions of this
Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The provisions of this
Agreement and the respective rights and duties of Pledgor and Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Pledgor hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or
federal court sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any Credit Document,
or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection with any
of the foregoing, and Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in
respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio
state or federal court. Pledgor, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries,
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding
in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove
such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of
FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Pledgor agrees that a final, nonappealable
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.

         15. Maximum Liability of Pledgor. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount of the Obligations
secured by this Agreement exceed the maximum amount that (after giving effect to
the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of
Pledgor from other affiliates of Borrower) would not render the rights to
payment of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder void, voidable or
avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED FIVE-YEAR REVOLVING CREDIT
                      AGREEMENT dated as of August 14, 2001, among THE GOODYEAR
                      TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY, an Ohio corporation (the
                      "Borrower"), the lenders listed in Schedule 2.01 (the
                      "Lenders") and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, a New York
                      banking corporation, as administrative agent for the
                      Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent").

               The Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit to the
Borrower in order to enable it to borrow on a standby revolving credit basis on
and after the date hereof and at any time and from time to time prior to the
Maturity Date (as herein defined) a principal amount not in excess of
$750,000,000 at any time outstanding. The Borrower has also requested the
Lenders to provide a procedure pursuant to which the Borrower may invite the
Lenders to bid on an uncommitted basis on borrowings by the Borrower. The
Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower on the terms and
subject to the conditions herein set forth.

               Accordingly, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent agree as
follows:

ARTICLE I.  DEFINITIONS

               SECTION 1.01.  DEFINED TERMS.  As used in this Agreement, the
following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

               "ABR BORROWING" shall mean a Borrowing comprised of ABR Loans.

               "ABR LOAN" shall mean any Standard Loan bearing interest at a
rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the
provisions of Article II.

               "ADJUSTED CD RATE" shall mean, with respect to any CD Loan, the
rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1000th of 1%)
equivalent to the sum of (i) the quotient of (x) the CD Rate with respect to the
Interest Period in respect of such CD Loan, divided by (y) one minus the CD
Reserve Requirement of the applicable Lender, if any, PLUS (ii) the Assessment
Rate of the applicable Lender, if any. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be determined
as of the first day of, and shall remain constant throughout, the applicable
Interest Period.

               "ADJUSTED LIBO RATE" shall mean, with respect to any Eurodollar
Loan, the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage rounded upward, if
necessary, to the nearest 1/1000th of 1%) equivalent to the sum of (i) the
quotient of (x) the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in respect of such
Eurodollar Loan, divided by (y) one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement, if
any. The Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be the rate appropriately determined to be in
effect on the first day of, and shall remain constant throughout, such Interest
Period. The Eurodollar Reserve Requirement shall be determined as at the first
day of, and shall remain constant throughout, such Interest Period.

               "ADMINISTRATIVE FEES" shall have the meaning assigned to such
term in Section 2.06(c).

<PAGE>
                                                                               2

               "ALTERNATE BASE RATE" shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greater of
(a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective
Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%. For purposes hereof, "PRIME RATE"
shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time
by the Agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York
City; each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change
is publicly announced as effective. "FEDERAL FUNDS EFFECTIVE RATE" shall mean,
for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds
transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal
funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which
is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such
transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds brokers of
recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason,
including the inability or failure of the Agent to obtain sufficient quotations
in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be
determined without regard to clause (b) of the first sentence of this definition
until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any
change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the
Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such
change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.

               "ANNUAL PERIOD" shall mean a period of four complete, consecutive
fiscal quarters of the Borrower, taken together and constituting one accounting
period.

               "APPLICABLE SPREAD" shall mean, as at the date as of which any
determination in respect thereof is being or to be made, the applicable
percentage set forth below under the caption "Eurodollar Spread" or "CD Spread",
as the case may be, based upon the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the
relevant fiscal quarter most recently ended:

                              but less than or
                              equal to 40%

              3               greater than 40%         0.8000%           0.9250%

Each change in the Applicable Spread resulting from a change in the Leverage
Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter will be effective as of the date of
delivery by the Borrower of a certificate setting forth the calculation of the
Leverage Ratio as at the end of such fiscal quarter, which certificate shall be
delivered with the annual and/or quarterly financial statements required to be
delivered under paragraph (c) of Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
any time that the Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Agent such certificate
by the time required under such paragraph (c), the Applicable Spread shall be
deemed to be that corresponding to Category 4 until such time as the Borrower
shall so deliver such certificate.

               "ASSESSMENT RATE" shall mean, at any date as of which any
determination thereof is being or to be made and with respect to any CD Loan and
the applicable Interest Period in respect of which any determination thereof is
being or to be made, the aggregate of the net annual assessment rates or similar
fees or charges (expressed on a per annum percentage basis, rounded upward, if
necessary, to the nearest 1/1000th of 1%), if any, paid by the Lender making
such Loan on its Dollar time deposits in the United States of America insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any successor agency) or any other
Governmental Body which has general jurisdiction over such Lender; such rates,
fees or charges, if any, shall be determined by annualizing the then most recent
assessment rates or similar fees or charges levied on such Lender by said
Corporation or other Governmental Body with respect to such Dollar time deposits
evidenced by certificates of deposit or equivalent instruments in amounts and
for periods substantially equal to the applicable Interest Period.

               "AUTHORIZED OFFICER" shall mean (i) any of the Chairman of the
Board, any Vice Chairman of the Board, any President, any Executive Vice
President, any Senior Vice President, any Vice President and the Treasurer of

               "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day (other than a day which is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of New York) on which banks are
open for business in New York City; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, when used in
connection with a Eurodollar Loan, the term "Business Day" shall also exclude
any day on which banks are not open for dealings in Dollar deposits in the
London interbank market.

               "CD BORROWING" shall mean a Borrowing comprised of CD Loans.

               "CD LOAN" shall mean any Standard Loan bearing interest at a rate
determined by reference to the Adjusted CD Rate in accordance with the

under the caption "Certificates of Deposit" in the daily statistical release
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York entitled "Composite 3:30 p.m.
Quotations for U.S. Government Securities", or any successor publication (the

reasonably determine (and promptly give notice to the other party of such
determination) that the CD Rate in respect of such Interest Period determined as

lower (as reasonably determined by the Agent) than the prevailing rate of
interest the Agent is required to pay to acquire funds evidenced by
non-negotiable certificates of deposit in amounts of $1,000,000 or more for a
period substantially equal to such Interest Period, then, in any such event, CD
Rate shall mean, with respect to such Interest Period and to the applicable CD
Borrowing, the arithmetic average (expressed as a percentage rounded upward, if
necessary, to the nearest 1/1000th of 1%) of the offered rates (each expressed

Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Standard Loans to the
Borrower, at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and
until the earlier of the Maturity Date or the termination of the Commitment of
such Lender, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to
exceed such Lender's Commitment minus the amount by which the Competitive Loans
outstanding at such time shall be deemed to have used such Commitment pursuant
to Section 2.15, subject, however, to the conditions that (a) at no time shall
(i) the sum of (x) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Standard
Loans made by all Lenders plus (y) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of
all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders exceed (ii) the Total Commitment and
(b) at all times the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Standard
Loans made by each Lender shall equal the product of (i) the percentage which
its Commitment represents of the Total Commitment times (ii) the outstanding
aggregate principal amount of all Standard Loans made pursuant to Section 2.04.
Each Lender's Commitment is set forth opposite its respective name in Schedule
2.01. Such Commitments may be terminated, reduced or extended from time to time
pursuant to Section 2.11.

               Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or
prepay and reborrow hereunder, on and after the Closing Date and prior to the
Maturity Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth
herein.

               SECTION 2.02. LOANS. (a) Each Standard Loan shall be made as part
of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with their Commitments; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Lender to
make any Standard Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its
obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to
be made by such other Lender). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The Standard Loans or Competitive
Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount which
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 in the case
of Standard Loans and $5,000,000 in the case of Competitive Loans (or an
aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Total
Commitment).

               (b) Each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of
Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and each Standard Borrowing
shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Standard Loans, CD Loans or ABR Loans,
as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable.
Borrowings of more than one Type or of the same Type and having different
Interest Periods may be

                                                                              15

outstanding at the same time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans of different
Types and Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they
commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans and separate
Borrowings.

               (c) Subject to Section 2.05, each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Agent in New York, New York, not later than
11:30 a.m., New York City time, and the Agent shall transfer the entire amount
received to the Borrower in Dollars in immediately available funds at the bank
and to the account designated by the Borrower as promptly as practicable and in
any event by such a time that such funds will be available for retransfer,
investment or other use by the Borrower on the borrowing date or, if a Borrowing
shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified
shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective
Lenders. Competitive Loans shall be made by the Lender or Lenders whose
Competitive Bids therefor are accepted pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amounts
so accepted and Standard Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with Section 2.15. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date
of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made
such portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to repay to the 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 Agent at
the Federal Funds Effective Rate; PROVIDED that if such Lender does not pay such
principal amount to the Agent within five Business Days and the Borrower repays
such principal amount on the sixth Business Day, such Lender shall be
responsible for interest during such six Business Day period, provided that the
Agent, if it shall first have made demand on such Lender and shall not have
received payment, may recover such interest from the Borrower. If such Lender
shall pay to the Agent such corresponding amount within five Business Days, such
amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement.

               (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

               SECTION 2.03. COMPETITIVE BID PROCEDURE. (a) In order to request
Competitive Bids, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Agent a
duly completed Competitive Bid Request in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, to be
received by the Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before a proposed
Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed
Competitive Borrowing. No CD Loan or ABR Loan shall be requested in, or made
pursuant to, a Competitive Bid Request. A Competitive Bid Request that does not
conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A-1 may be rejected in the
Agent's sole discretion, and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of
such rejection by telecopier. Such request shall in each case refer to this
Agreement and specify (x) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a
Eurodollar Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing, (y) the date of such Borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate principal amount thereof which
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and in an integral
multiple of $1,000,000,

<PAGE>
                                                                              16

and (z) the Interest Period with respect thereto (which may not end after the
Maturity Date). Promptly after its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request that is
not rejected as aforesaid, the Agent shall invite by telecopier (in the form set
forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto) the Lenders to bid, on the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid
Request.

               (b) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, make one or more
Competitive Bids to the Borrower responsive to a Competitive Bid Request. Each
Competitive Bid by a Lender must be received by the Agent via telecopier, in the
form of Exhibit A-3 hereto, (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive
Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before a proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate
Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a
proposed Competitive Borrowing. Multiple bids will be accepted by the Agent.
Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A-3
may be rejected by the Agent after conferring with, and upon the instruction of,
the Borrower, and the Agent shall notify the Lender making such nonconforming
bid of such rejection as soon as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall refer
to this Agreement and specify (x) the principal amount (which shall be in a
minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing
requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is
willing to make to the Borrower, (y) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which
the Lender is prepared to make the Competitive Loan or Loans and (z) the
Interest Period and the last day thereof. If any Lender shall elect not to make
a Competitive Bid, such Lender shall so notify the Agent via telecopier (I) in
the case of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York
City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (II)
in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time,
on the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure
by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to
make any Competitive Loan as part of such Competitive Borrowing. A Competitive
Bid submitted by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be irrevocable.

               (c) The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower by telecopier of
all the Competitive Bids made, the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount
of each Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid was made and the
identity of the Lender that made each bid. The Agent shall send a copy of all
Competitive Bids to the Borrower for its records as soon as practicable after
completion of the bidding process set forth in this Section 2.03.

               (d) The Borrower may in its sole and absolute discretion, subject
only to the provisions of this paragraph (d), accept or reject any Competitive
Bid referred to in paragraph (c) above (and the Competitive Bids accepted need
not be in any minimum aggregate amount except as provided below in this
paragraph). The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone, confirmed by
telecopier in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter in the format
of Exhibit A-4, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject
any of or all the bids referred to in paragraph (c) above, (x) in the case of a
Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time,
three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (y) in the case
of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the
day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the failure
by the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of all the
bids referred to in paragraph (c) above, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a
bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower has decided to
reject a bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) if the Borrower shall
accept a bid or bids made at a particular

<PAGE>
                                                                              17

Competitive Bid Rate but the amount of such bid or bids shall cause the total
amount of bids to be accepted by the Borrower to exceed the amount that the
Borrower desires to borrow, then the Borrower shall accept a portion of such bid
or bids in an amount equal to the amount that the Borrower desires to borrow
less the amount of all other Competitive Bids accepted with respect to such
Competitive Bid Request, which acceptance, in the case of multiple bids at such
Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of
each such bid at such Competitive Bid Rate, and (iv) except pursuant to clause
(iii) above, no bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such
Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral
multiple of $1,000,000; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that if a Competitive Loan
must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause
(iii) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any
integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of
acceptances of portions of multiple bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate
pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in a manner which shall be in the discretion of the Borrower. The
Borrower may accept Competitive Bids in an aggregate principal amount in excess
of the principal amount specified in the relevant Competitive Bid Request. A
notice given by the Borrower in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject
Letter pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.

               (e) The Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender whether
or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at
what Competitive Bid Rate or Rates) by telecopy sent by the Agent, and each
successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the other applicable
conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loans in respect of which its
Competitive Bid has been accepted.

               (f) A Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five
Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request.

               (g) If the Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its
capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such bid directly to the Borrower one
quarter of an hour earlier than the latest time at which the other Lenders are
required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (b)
above.

               (h) All notices required by this Section 2.03 shall be given in
accordance with Section 9.01.

               SECTION 2.04. STANDARD BORROWING PROCEDURE. In order to request a
Standard Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Agent
notice thereof in the form of Exhibit A-5 (a) in the case of a Eurodollar
Standard Borrowing or a CD Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a
proposed Borrowing. No Fixed Rate Loan shall be requested or made pursuant to a
Standard Borrowing Request. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each
case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a
Eurodollar Standard Borrowing, a CD Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date
of such Standard Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount
thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Standard Borrowing or
CD Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period
with respect to any Eurodollar Standard Borrowing or CD Borrowing is specified
in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month's duration, in the case of a Eurodollar Standard
Borrowing, or one month's duration, in the case of a CD Borrowing. If the
Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.04 of its
election to refinance a Standard Borrowing prior

<PAGE>
                                                                              18

to the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the
Borrower shall (unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest
Period) be deemed to have given notice of an election to refinance such
Borrowing with an ABR Borrowing and the Agent will advise the Borrower that such
notice has not been received (but shall not be liable to the Borrower for any
unintentional omission to do so). The Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of
any notice given or deemed to have been given pursuant to this Section 2.04 and
of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing.

               SECTION 2.05. REFINANCINGS. The Borrower may refinance all or any
part of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Type made
pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement, including
refinancings of Competitive Borrowings with Standard Borrowings and Standard
Borrowings with Competitive Borrowings. Any Borrowing or part thereof so
refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 with the
proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing, to
the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing being
refinanced, shall not be paid by the Lenders to the Agent or by the Agent to the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(c); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) if the
principal amount extended by a Lender in a refinancing is greater than the
principal amount extended by such Lender in the Borrowing being refinanced, then
such Lender shall pay such difference to the Agent for distribution to the
Lenders described in (ii) below, (ii) if the principal amount extended by a
Lender in the Borrowing being refinanced is greater than the principal amount
being extended by such Lender in the refinancing, the Agent shall return the
difference to such Lender out of amounts received pursuant to (i) above, and
(iii) to the extent any Lender fails to pay the Agent amounts due from it
pursuant to (i) above, any Loan or portion thereof being refinanced with such
amounts shall not be deemed repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 and shall be
payable by the Borrower.

               SECTION 2.06. FEES. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each
Lender, through the Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December
31, and on the Maturity Date or on any earlier date on which the Commitment of
such Lender shall have terminated and its outstanding Loans repaid, a facility
fee (a "FACILITY FEE") equal to the applicable Facility Fee Percentage per annum
on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during
the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or
ending with the Maturity Date or the date of such termination and repayment).
All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. The Facility Fee due
to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall cease to
accrue on the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Commitment of such
Lender shall have terminated (but shall in any event accrue until all Loans made
by such Lender have been repaid).

               (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Agent,
on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and on each date on
which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or reduced as provided
herein, a utilization fee of 0.250% per annum (a "Utilization Fee") (i) on such
Lender's pro rata portion (based on the ratio of such Lender's Commitment to the
Total Commitment) of the aggregate principal amount of all of the outstanding
Loans for each day during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on
the date hereof or ending with the Maturity Date or any date on which the
Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated and its outstanding Loans repaid
in full) on which the sum of the outstanding Loans, including Competitive Loans,
exceeds 50% of the Total Commitment and (ii) after the termination of such
Lender's Commitment (other than as a result of the termination of the
Commitments due to the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (a) or (b)
of

<PAGE>
                                                                              19

Article VII), on the principal amount of such Lender's outstanding Loans. The
Utilization Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Utilization Fee due to each Lender shall be
payable in arrears and shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and cease to
accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the Commitment
of such Lender is terminated and its outstanding Loans repaid in full as
provided herein.

               (c) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, for its own account,
agent and administrative fees (the "Administrative Fees") at the times and in
the amounts agreed upon in the letter agreement dated July 24, 2001, between the
Borrower and the Agent.

               (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the
Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any
circumstances.

               SECTION 2.07. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The
outstanding principal balance of each Competitive Loan and Standard Loan shall
be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan and on
the Maturity Date.

               (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the
amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement.

               (c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i)
the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from
the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.

               (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.07 shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be rebuttable evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations therein recorded; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Lender
or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance
with their terms.

               SECTION 2.08. INTEREST ON LOANS. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of each Eurodollar Standard
Loan, the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Spread, and (ii) in the case of each Eurodollar Competitive Loan,
the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or
minus) the Margin offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

               (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the CD Loans
comprising each CD Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal
to the CD Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Spread.

<PAGE>
                                                                              20

               (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the ABR Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days
at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in
effect from time to time during the Interest Period applicable to such ABR
Borrowing.

               (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, each Fixed Rate
Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the fixed rate
of interest offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.03.

               (e) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, interest on each
Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan. The
LIBO Rate and Adjusted LIBO Rate, the CD Rate and Adjusted CD Rate or the
Alternate Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period
shall be determined by the Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

               SECTION 2.09. DEFAULT INTEREST. If the Borrower shall default in
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount
becoming due hereunder, whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment,
acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from
the Agent or the Majority Lenders pay interest, to the extent permitted by law,
on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment
(after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus 1%.

               SECTION 2.10. UNAVAILABILITY OF LIBO RATE AND CD RATE QUOTATIONS.
(a) In the event that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Agent shall have determined
that it is not possible to ascertain a LIBO Rate for such Interest Period as
contemplated in the definition of LIBO Rate in Section 1.01, the Agent shall, as
soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such event to
the Borrower and the Lenders, in which event any request by the Borrower for a
Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request
for a CD Borrowing.

               (b) In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day on which
the Interest Period for any CD Borrowing commences the Agent shall have
determined that it is not possible to ascertain a CD Rate for such Interest
Period as contemplated in the definition of CD Rate in Section 1.01, the Agent
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of
such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders, in which event any request
by the Borrower for a CD Loan for such Interest Period shall be of no force or
effect and no Borrowing shall be made pursuant to such request.

               SECTION 2.11. TERMINATION, REDUCTION AND ADDITION OF COMMITMENTS.
(a)  The Commitments shall be automatically terminated on the Maturity Date.

               (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written
or telecopy notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole
permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the
Total Commitment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each partial reduction of the Total
Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000.

<PAGE>
                                                                              21

               (c) Each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be
made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date
of each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of the
Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or
reduction.

               (d) The Borrower may from time to time request that one or more
additional financial institutions be added as Lenders under this Agreement with
Commitments agreed upon by the Borrower and such financial institutions. In the
event of any such request, such financial institutions shall become parties to
and Lenders under this Agreement upon the execution of one or more agreements to
that effect in the form (appropriately completed) of Exhibit D (and without any
action being required on the part of any other Lender), and upon the
effectiveness of any such agreement, Schedule 2.01 shall be automatically
amended to reflect the Commitment of each new Lender.

               SECTION 2.12. PREPAYMENT. (a) The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to prepay without premium or penalty any
Borrowing (including a Competitive Borrowing), in whole or in part, upon giving
written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or
telecopy notice) to the Agent: (i) before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, three
Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) before
5:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days prior to prepayment, in the
case of CD Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and (iii) before 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an amount which
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

               (b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the
Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Borrower shall pay or prepay so
much of the outstanding Borrowings, selected at the Borrower's sole option, as
shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the
Competitive Loans and Standard Loans outstanding will not exceed the Total
Commitment after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

               (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date
and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid,
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or
portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All
prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on
the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

               (d) In the event any prepayment is made in respect of any Loan
(or in the event any Lender is required to transfer a Loan), other than (i) any
ABR Loan and (ii) any Loan the prepayment, payment or transfer of which is made
by Borrower pursuant to its right to prepay, repay or require the transfer of
such Loan under Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.17 or 9.05 or upon the Lender's exercise
of its option pursuant to Section 9.14, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender,
promptly upon the written request of such Lender (which request shall be
accompanied by a certificate as described below), such amount as shall be
necessary to reimburse such Lender for the loss, if any, reasonably incurred by
such Lender as a result of such prepayment or transfer arising from inability
due to general market conditions to recover the cost of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund such Loan, in the liquidation of such deposits
or other funds so acquired (or from the reemployment thereof if such
reemployment would

<PAGE>
                                                                              22

result in less of a funding loss to such Lender); PROVIDED, that any such
funding loss shall not in any event exceed the cost incurred by such Lender to
obtain such deposit or other funds, minus the fair market value thereof
realizable by such Lender in the liquidation thereof. Such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any such loss. Such Lender's claim, if
any, shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail
(including the calculations made in determining) the reason for and the amount
of such loss, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. Prepayments of ABR Borrowings shall be without penalty, premium or other
cost of any kind.

               SECTION 2.13. RESERVE REQUIREMENTS; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. (a)
In the event that at any time or from time to time during the term of this
Agreement any Eurodollar Reserve Requirement shall be applicable to deposits
acquired in respect of any Eurodollar Loan the Lender making such Eurodollar
Loan shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any imposition of or
change in or prospective imposition of or change in any Eurodollar Reserve
Requirement, whether in respect of an outstanding Eurodollar Loan or any
possible future Eurodollar Loan, and, for as long as such Eurodollar Reserve
Requirement shall be effective, the Borrower shall, upon written request from
such Lender (with a copy of such request to the Agent), pay to such Lender at
the end of each Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan, an additional amount
equal to the difference between the interest accrued based upon the LIBO Rate
and the interest that would have accrued had the Adjusted LIBO Rate been
applicable to the Eurodollar Loan of such Lender. Each Lender represents that
currently it is not subject to (and does not incur) any Eurodollar Reserve
Requirement.

               (b) In the event that at any time or from time to time during the
term of this Agreement any CD Reserve Requirement or Assessment Rate shall be
applicable to deposits acquired in respect of any CD Loan the Lender making such
CD Loan shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any imposition of or
change in or prospective imposition of or change in any CD Reserve Requirement
or Assessment Rate, whether in respect of an outstanding CD Loan or any possible
future CD Loan, and, for as long as such CD Reserve Requirement or Assessment
Rate shall be effective, the Borrower shall, upon written request from such
Lender (with a copy of such request to the Agent), pay to such Lender at the end
of the Interest Period for such CD Loan, an additional amount equal to the
difference between the interest accrued based upon the CD Rate and the interest
that would have accrued had the Adjusted CD Rate been applicable to the CD Loan
of such Lender. Each Lender represents that its current CD Reserve Requirement
and Assessment Rate are as set forth on Schedule 2.01.

               (c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date
of this Agreement, either (i) the introduction of, or any change in or in the
interpretation of, any law or regulation or (ii) compliance by any Lender with
any directive, guideline or request of any Governmental Body (whether or not
having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required
or expected to be maintained by such Lender, so as to increase the minimum
amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender based upon the
existence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender and/or any Loans made
hereunder and such requirement applies equally to other agreements with, and to
commitments and loans similar to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
to, all other corporate borrowers situated in the United States of America, then
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender, in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender
reasonably and equitably determines such increase in required capital over the
capital of such Lender in place on the date hereof to be allocable to this
Agreement, to the Commitment of such Lender (or the unused portion thereof), or
to any Loans made by such Lender hereunder,

<PAGE>
                                                                              23

it being understood that in no event shall the cost allocable, and/or amount
charged, to the Borrower under this paragraph (c) exceed the cost allocable,
and/or amount charged, with respect to any similar agreement between such Lender
and any other corporate borrower located in the United States, in each instance
determined ratably with respect to the relative transactional amounts. Each
Lender represents that, to its best knowledge on the date hereof it would not be
required to increase its capital or to otherwise incur any increased capital
costs in respect of this Agreement under existing laws, rules, regulations,
directives or guidelines (whether or not currently in effect) of any
Governmental Body.

               (d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amount or
amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in
paragraph (c) above shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it
within 10 days after the receipt of the same. No Lender shall be entitled to any
compensation for any additional costs under this Section 2.13 requested by such
Lender unless such Lender shall have notified the Borrower that it will request
compensation for such additional costs not more than 30 days after the date such
additional costs were first incurred.

               (e) The Borrower may at any time following its receipt from any
Lender of a notice of the occurrence or prospective occurrence of any imposition
of or increase in the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement, the CD Reserve
Requirement, the Assessment Rate or capital requirements or costs of such Lender
terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay any outstanding Loans of such
Lender (together with all accrued interest and Facility Fee and Utilization Fee,
if any) on the effective date of such termination, which repayments, if any,
shall be without premium, penalty or other cost of any kind and shall not be
subject to the requirements of Sections 2.15 and 2.12(d).

               SECTION 2.14. CHANGE IN LEGALITY. (a) Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Body charged with the administration
or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or
maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written or
telecopy notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may:

       (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such
       Lender hereunder, whereupon such Lender shall not submit a Competitive
       Bid in response to a request for Eurodollar Competitive Loans and any
       request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Standard Borrowing shall, as to
       such Lender only, be without effect and void unless such declaration
       shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

       (ii) require (if required by law to do so) that all outstanding
       Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to CD Loans, in which event all
       such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to CD Loans with
       an Interest Period agreed upon by the Borrower and such Lender as of the
       effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all
payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to
repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the
converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the
Loans of such Lender resulting from the conversion of such Eurodollar Loans. The
Borrower may in any event

<PAGE>
                                                                              24

prepay any Loan resulting from the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan under this
Section within five Business Days after such conversion.

               (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower
by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the
last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in
all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the
Borrower.

               (c) In the event that any Lender shall (i) give Borrower any
notice contemplated by, or exercise its rights under, this Section 2.14 or (ii)
unless Borrower shall fail to meet the conditions set forth at Section 4.01, any
Lender for any reason fails to fund any Loan, the Borrower may at any time
terminate the Commitment of the Lender and repay any outstanding Loans of such
Lender (together with all accrued interest and Facility Fee and Utilization Fee,
if any) on the effective date of such termination, which repayment, if any,
shall be without premium, penalty or other cost of any kind and shall not be
subject to the requirements of Sections 2.15 and 2.12(d).

               SECTION 2.15. PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except as required or permitted
under Section 2.11(d), 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.17, 2.18, 9.05 or 9.14, each Standard
Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Standard Borrowing,
each payment of interest on the Standard Loans, each payment of the Facility
Fee, each payment of the Utilization Fee, each reduction of the Commitments and
each refinancing of any Borrowing with a Standard Borrowing of any Type, shall
be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Standard
Loans). Each payment of principal of any Competitive Borrowing shall be
allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding
Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any
Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders
participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of
accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising
such Borrowing. For purposes of determining the available Commitments of the
Lenders at any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to
have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which
shall not have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in
accordance with such respective Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in
computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Agent
may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the
next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

               SECTION 2.16. PAYMENTS. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other
amounts) hereunder not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date
when due in Dollars to the Agent (except as otherwise provided herein) at its
offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, in immediately available funds.
Any payment required to be made to the Lenders shall be deemed made when made to
the Agent and shall, insofar as the obligations of the Borrower are concerned,
be deemed to have been received by the Lenders at the time of receipt by the
Agent (which shall promptly forward such payment to the Lenders). In the event
the Lenders shall receive payments in an amount less than the amounts at the
time due hereunder, the amounts received shall be applied first against the
principal of Loans, second against accrued interest, third against accrued Fees,
fourth against amounts due under Section 2.13 or 2.17, and fifth against any
other amounts due hereunder.

<PAGE>
                                                                              25

               (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on
any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or
otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
the case of a payment of principal be included in the computation of interest.

               SECTION 2.17. TAXES. (a) All payments by the Borrower hereunder
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes,
and if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any
such payment, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or the applicable Lender,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Body in accordance with applicable law.

               (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and Lender for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Agent or Lender on or with
respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section). A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances giving
rise thereto and the calculations used to determine in good faith such amount
delivered to the Borrower by the Agent or Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

               (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes
by the Borrower to a Governmental Body, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

               (d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of withholding tax under the law of the United States of America or any treaty
to which the United States of America is a party, with respect to payments made
to it under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2.17, any Lender that has not provided to the Borrower
the executed documentation required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.17 shall not be entitled to any payment of additional amounts
pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or indemnification pursuant to Section 2.17(b) with
respect to any deduction or withholding that would not have been required if
such Lender had provided such documentation.

               (e) Each Lender, on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder, will
designate lending offices for the Loans to be made by it such that, on such
date, it will not be liable for any withholding tax that is imposed by the
United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof) on payments to
it by the Borrower from an office within such jurisdiction.

               (f) Each Lender represents and warrants unto, and covenants and
agrees with, the Borrower that (i) such Lender is presently exempt from United
States Federal withholding tax (including backup withholding, as such term is
defined in the Code), and

<PAGE>
                                                                              26

from any other withholding tax, assessment, charge or other Taxes (other than
Excluded Taxes) imposed by any Governmental Body, on any amount payable to it
under this Agreement, and has heretofore delivered to the Borrower such evidence
as may be required by law to claim or substantiate any such exemption (stating
the provisions of law and/or treaty under which such exemption is claimed); (ii)
such Lender will notify the Borrower promptly, so long as any amount is due
under this Agreement, upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or of any
prospective occurrence of any event which would result in any such withholding
tax exemption not being available to such Lender; and (iii) such Lender will
indemnify and hold the Borrower harmless from and against any loss, cost or
liability imposed by a Governmental Body or incurred by the Borrower in defense
of any claim by a Governmental Body, including all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses the Borrower may incur as a direct result of its reliance on the
foregoing representations, or the failure of such Lender to give prompt notice
of any event resulting in any said withholding tax exemption not being available
to such Lender.

               (g) In no event shall the Borrower have any obligation to "gross
up" amounts due under this Agreement in respect of Excluded Taxes.

               (h) The representations, warranties and agreements contained in
this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment in full of the Loans.

               SECTION 2.18. TERMINATION OR ASSIGNMENT OF COMMITMENTS. The
Borrower shall have the right (in addition to its rights pursuant to Sections
2.11(b), 2.13, 2.14, 2.17 and 9.05), at its own expense, at any time upon notice
to any Lender and the Agent, (i) to terminate the Commitment of such Lender
(with or without, at Borrower's sole election, replacing such terminated
Commitment) or (ii) to require such Lender to transfer and assign without
recourse all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent which shall
assume such obligations; PROVIDED that (x) no such assignment shall conflict
with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Body applicable to
such affected Lender and (y) the Borrower or the assignee, as the case may be,
shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the effective
date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to
the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder then outstanding and
accrued and unpaid Facility Fees and Utilization Fees and any amounts which
Borrower had theretofore been notified were accruing in respect of such Loans
under Section 2.13, which payments shall not be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.15.

               The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Lender and the Agent
that, so long as the Commitment of such Lender shall remain in effect or the
principal of or interest on any Loan by such Lender shall be unpaid, unless the
Majority Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower will not:

               (a) LIMITATION ON LIENS. Issue, assume or guarantee, or permit
any Subsidiary to issue, assume or guarantee, Debt if such Debt is secured by a
Lien upon any Manufacturing Facility without providing (concurrently with the
issuance, assumption or guarantee of any such Debt) that the Loans shall be
secured equally and ratably with such Debt; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
foregoing restriction shall not apply to:

               (i)  any Lien on property if such Lien is in existence at the
       time of the acquisition of such property by the Borrower or a Subsidiary;

               (ii) any Lien on property to secure the payment of all or any
       part of the purchase price of such property or to secure any Debt
       incurred (prior to, at the time of, or within 360 days after, the
       acquisition by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of such property) for the
       purpose of, or in connection with, financing all or any part of the
       purchase price thereof;

               (iii) any Lien on property of a corporation or other entity if
       such Lien was in existence prior to the time such corporation or other

       or prior to the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the
       properties of an entity as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to
       the Borrower or a Subsidiary;

               (iv) any Lien on property in favor of the United States of
       America, any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality
       or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State
       thereof, in favor of any other country or any political subdivision
       thereof, or in favor of any other Governmental Body, to secure partial,
       progress, advance or other payments, or performance of any other
       obligations, pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any

       such Lien; or

<PAGE>
                                                                              31

               (v) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive
       extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Lien
       referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive; PROVIDED,
       HOWEVER, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not
       exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such
       extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal, or
       replacement Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the property which
       secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on
       such property).

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Borrower or any Subsidiary
may issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a Lien on a Manufacturing
Facility of the Borrower which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing
restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with the aggregate principal
amount of all other such Debt of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries secured by
Liens on Manufacturing Facilities of the Borrower outstanding at the time of
such issuance, assumption or guarantee (but excluding Debt permitted by the
foregoing clauses (i) to (v), inclusive), does not at such time exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower as at the end of the
then most recently completed fiscal year of the Borrower, and (B) the Borrower
or any Subsidiary may issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a Lien on a
Manufacturing Facility of a Subsidiary which would otherwise be subject to the
foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with the aggregate
principal amount of all other such Debt of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries
secured by Liens on Manufacturing Facilities of Subsidiaries outstanding at the
time of such issuance, assumption or guarantee (but excluding Debt permitted by
the foregoing clauses (i) to (v), inclusive), does not at such time exceed
fifteen percent (15%) of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower as at the
end of the then most recently completed fiscal year of the Borrower.

               (b) LIMITATION ON DEBT. Issue, incur, assume or guarantee, or
permit any Subsidiary to issue, incur, assume or guarantee, any Debt if,
immediately after giving effect to the issuance, incurrence, assumption or
guarantee of such Debt and after giving effect to the receipt and application of
any and all proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Consolidated
Debt of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries would, at the end of any fiscal
quarter of the Borrower, exceed the sum of (x) $5,000,000,000 plus (y) the
Supplemental Amount, if any, at such date. For the purpose of this paragraph
(b), if any such Debt is payable in a currency other than Dollars and all or any
portion of the principal amount of such Debt is hedged into Dollars, then the
principal amount thereof, or such portion thereof, shall be the amount of
Dollars specified in, or determined pursuant to, the applicable hedging
contract.

               (c) MERGERS, ETC. Merge or consolidate with or into, or convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a
series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now
owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the
assets of, any Person; except that (i) any Subsidiary may merge into or transfer
assets to or obtain assets from the Borrower, and (ii) the Borrower may merge
with or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, provided
in any such case that, immediately after giving effect to such proposed
transaction, no Event of Default would exist and, in the case of any such merger
to which the Borrower is a party, the Borrower is the surviving corporation.

               (d) ERISA LIABILITIES. Create or suffer to exist, as at the end
of any fiscal quarter of Borrower, any ERISA Liabilities of the Borrower in an
aggregate amount in excess of $750,000,000.

               (e) NEGATIVE PLEDGE. Enter into, or permit any Subsidiary
organized under the laws of the United States or any state, territory or
possession thereof to enter into, any covenant or other agreement that by its
terms limits the ability of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary to pledge its
accounts receivable or inventory or proceeds thereof to secure indebtedness.

       PROVIDED, that if any such representation or warranty is capable of being
       rendered true and correct in all material respects, such event shall not

                                                                              34

               In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, The Chase Manhattan Bank is hereby appointed to act as Agent on
behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender and to exercise such powers
as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms and provisions hereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any
implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of
principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders
hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each
payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the
Borrower of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Agent
has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c)
to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and
other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received
by the Agent.

               Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents shall be liable to any Lender as such for any action taken or omitted
by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct,
or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the
Borrower of any of the terms, conditions (except delivery to the Agent of the
items required by Section 4.02 to be delivered to it), covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders
for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of
this Agreement or other instruments or agreements. The Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with
written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. The Agent shall, in the
absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or
document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the
Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any
Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the
failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Borrower
of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The
Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees
and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it
with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any
action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of
such counsel.

               The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no
duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do
so by the Required Lenders.

               Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and
the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by
the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a
bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to

                                                                              35

and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
Agent.

               With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Agent in its
individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower as if it were not the Agent.

               Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Agent, on demand, in the
amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitment, or, after the Commitments
have expired or been terminated, the amount of its outstanding Loans hereunder)
of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agent, including
reasonable counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for
services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed
by the Borrower and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro
rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against it in its capacity as the Agent or any of them in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by
it or any of them under this Agreement, to the extent the same shall not have
been reimbursed by the Borrower; PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable to the
Agent or any other indemnitee for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the
Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

               Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

               Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each Lender
acknowledges that the Agent is not acting as an agent of the Borrower and that
the Borrower will not be responsible for any acts or failures to act on the part
of the Agent.

               SECTION 9.02. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of
any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in
full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding
and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated.

               SECTION 9.03. BINDING EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. (a) This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have received copies hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and

Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for
such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a
Federal Reserve Bank, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning
Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or
notes in the form of Exhibit E hereto evidencing the Loans made to the Borrower
by the assigning Lender hereunder.

              SECTION 9.04.  APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

               SECTION 9.05. WAIVERS; AMENDMENT. (a) No failure or delay of the
Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.

               (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such agreement shall (i) amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Agent, (ii) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any
scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any
Loan or any Fees, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or
decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or any Fees, without the prior written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) change or extend the Commitment
or decrease the Facility Fees or the Utilization Fee of any Lender without the
prior written consent of such Lender, or (iv) amend or modify the provisions of
Section 2.15, the provisions of this Section 9.05(b) or the definition of
"Majority Lenders" or "Required Lenders", without the prior written consent of
each Lender; PROVIDED that the provisions referred to in the preceding clauses
(ii), (iii) and (iv) may be amended by the Majority Lenders; but any Lender
which declines to approve any such amendment shall have the right at any time,
on 10 Business Days' notice to the Borrower, to terminate its Commitment and
require the Borrower to pay the principal of and interest on its outstanding
Loans and Fees, and the amount of the principal and interest so paid shall be
determined without giving effect to such amendment. All prepayments made
pursuant to this Section 9.05(b) shall be without premium, penalty or other cost
of any kind and shall not be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.15 and
2.12(d).

               SECTION 9.06. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay
(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its
affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any
amendments, modifications or waivers (requested by or for the benefit of the
Borrower) of the provisions hereof, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement
of its rights under this Agreement.

               (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Lenders,
their affiliates, and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents
of such persons (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses, arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) the use by the

<PAGE>
                                                                              38

Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; PROVIDED that such indemnity shall not,
as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses have resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the breach of any obligations
of such Indemnitee set forth in this Agreement.

               SECTION 9.07. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together
with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law
(collectively the "Charges"), as provided for herein, or otherwise contracted
for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law,
the rate of interest payable hereunder to such Lender, together with all Charges
payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

               SECTION 9.08. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the letter
agreement referred to in Section 2.06(c) constitute the entire contract between
the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to
confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

               SECTION 9.09. INFORMATION; ACCESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY. So long as
any Commitments shall be in effect or any Loans shall remain unpaid: (i) the
Lenders, acting through their officers and other duly designated employees,
shall have the right to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries with senior financial officers and employees of
the Borrower at such reasonable times and intervals as the Lenders shall
reasonably request; and (ii) the Borrower will make available to the Lenders
such other information relating to the financial condition or business
operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as the Lenders shall from time
to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall the Borrower be required to furnish to the Lenders any
information pursuant to this Section 9.09 if the Borrower shall reasonably
determine that the furnishing of such requested information would be in
violation of any applicable law, regulation or order of any Governmental Body or
if such information relates to the Borrower's strategic planning, research,
development, testing, manufacturing or marketing activities and the furnishing
thereof would, in the sole judgment of the Borrower reasonably exercised,
adversely affect the competitive position of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees
that all such information provided to such Lender (or any officer or employee of
such Lender) is confidential and proprietary to the Borrower and that such
Lender will not disclose (other than to the directors, officers and employees of
such Lender who require such information in connection with such Lender's
administration of this Agreement and who have been directed to treat such
information as confidential and proprietary to the Borrower and other than to
bank examiners with jurisdiction over such Lender who request such information)
any such information (excluding information which becomes (i) generally
available to the public other than as a result of the disclosure thereof by such
Lender or its representatives or (ii) available to such Lender on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the Subsidiaries
or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or
representatives, provided such source is not known to such Lender to be bound by
a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower), except to the extent such Lender
is, in the opinion of legal counsel to such Lender, required by law to disclose
such information and then only after such Lender shall have given the Borrower
at least five (5) days' prior written notice of such required disclosure

<PAGE>
                                                                              39

or, if such prior notice period is not available to such Lender under applicable
law, such shorter notice period, if any, as shall in fact be available to such
Lender under applicable law.

               SECTION 9.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the legal and economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

               SECTION 9.11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two
or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.03.

               SECTION 9.12. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings and the
Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not
part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken
into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

               SECTION 9.13. JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a)
Each party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court
or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment
related hereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

               (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.

               SECTION 9.14. STAMP TAXES. The Borrower agrees to pay, and to
save the Agent and each Lender harmless from all liability for, any stamp,
transfer, documentary or similar taxes, assessments or charges (herein "Stamp
Taxes"), and any penalties or interest with respect thereto, which may be
assessed, levied, collected or imposed, or otherwise become payable, in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Agent and each
Lender represents and warrants unto the Borrower that, at the date of this
Agreement, there are not Stamp Taxes in effect which are applicable to this
Agreement or any Loans which may be made hereunder and the Agent

<PAGE>
                                                                              40

and each Lender agrees that it will promptly notify the Borrower upon becoming
aware of the imposition or prospective imposition of any Stamp Taxes in respect
of this Agreement or any Loan made pursuant to this Agreement. The obligations
of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender under this Section 9.14 shall survive
the payment of the Loans.

               SECTION 9.15. CHANGE OF CONTROL OPTION. (a) In the event there
shall occur any Change of Control (as defined below) each Lender shall have the
right, at its option exercisable at any time within six months following the
Change Date (as defined below), to require the Borrower to purchase the Loans of
such Lender on the Purchase Date (as defined below) at a purchase price which
shall be equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Loans then
outstanding, plus (ii) any and all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans and
Fees to the Purchase Date (the "Purchase Price").

               (b) The Borrower shall give the Lenders, through the Agent,
written notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control within five Business
Days following the Change Date. No failure of the Borrower to give notice of a
Change of Control shall limit the right of any Lender to require the purchase of
its Loans pursuant to this Section 9.15.

               (c) Any Lender may exercise its right to require the purchase of
its Loans under this Section 9.15 by delivering to the Borrower at any time
within six months after the Change Date written notice thereof, specifying the
Purchase Date. The Commitment of any Lender exercising its right to require the
purchase of its Loans under this Section 9.15 shall automatically terminate
immediately upon the Borrower's receipt of such Lender's written notice of such
exercise of its option in accordance with this Section 9.15.

               (d) In the event of the exercise by any Lender of its option
under this Section 9.15 in the manner provided herein, the Borrower shall pay or
cause to be paid to such Lender on the Purchase Date the Purchase Price
(determined in accordance with paragraph (a) above) in immediately available
funds. No exercise of the option granted in this Section 9.15 shall be subject
to the requirements of Sections 2.15 and 2.12(d).

               (e)  As used in this Section 9.15, the term:

               (1) "CHANGE DATE" means the date on which any Change of Control
       shall be deemed to have occurred; PROVIDED, that, if the Borrower shall
       fail to give timely notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control to
       the Lenders as provided in paragraph (b) above, for the purpose of
       determining the duration of the Lenders' rights to require prepayment
       under this Section 9.15, "CHANGE DATE" shall mean the earlier of (i) the
       date on which notice of a Change of Control is duly given by the Borrower
       to the Agent or (ii) with respect to any Lender, the date on which such
       Lender obtains actual knowledge of the Change of Control.

               (2) "CHANGE OF CONTROL" means when, and shall be deemed to have
       occurred at such time as, a "person" or "group" (within the meaning of
       Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) becomes the "beneficial
       owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 50%
       of the then outstanding Voting Stock of the Borrower; PROVIDED, that
       fifty percent shall become 70% with respect to any "employee benefit
       plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained by the Borrower or
       any Subsidiary or any trust or funding vehicle maintained for or pursuant
       to such "employee benefit plan".

                                                                              41

       (3) "PURCHASE DATE" means, with respect to any Lender, the date on which
the Borrower shall purchase the Loans of such Lender pursuant to the exercise by
such Lender of its option under this Section 9.15, pursuant to a notice given to
the Borrower in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.15, which date
shall be a Business Day not less than 90 nor more than 120 days after the date
such Lender gives the Borrower written notice of such exercise.

       (4) "VOTING STOCK" shall mean capital stock of the Borrower of any class
or classes (however designated) the holders of which are ordinarily, in the
absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of the Board of
Directors of the Borrower, it being understood that, at the date hereof, the
Common Stock, without par value, of the Borrower is the only outstanding class
of capital stock of the Borrower which constitutes "Voting Stock".

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders have
caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized
officers as of the day and year first above written.
