penalty, the Purchasers' Investment Limit; provided that the Purchasers'
                                           --------
Investment Limit, as reduced, shall equal or exceed the total outstanding
Purchasers' Investment as of the date of such reduction.

         (b)      The Transferor shall give not less than three Business Days'
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent designating the date (which
shall be a Business Day) and the amount of such termination or reduction. Any
partial reduction shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Promptly after
receipt of a notice of such termination or partial reduction, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Purchaser and the administrative agent under the Mattel
Credit Agreement of the proposed termination or reduction. Such termination or
reduction shall be effective on the date specified in the Transferor's notice
and shall terminate or ratably reduce the dollar amount of each Purchaser's
Purchaser Commitment.

         (c)      Any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Facilities
Commitment under the Mattel Credit Agreement to an amount less than the
Purchasers' Investment Limit at such time shall automatically and concurrently
reduce the Purchasers' Investment Limit to an amount equal to such Aggregate
Facilities Commitment amount, as so reduced, or terminate the Purchasers'
Investment Limit, as the case may be. Any such reduction shall be applied
ratably to each Purchaser's Purchaser Commitment.

         2.06     Deficiency Advances. No Purchaser shall be responsible for any
default of any other Purchaser in respect of such other Purchaser's obligation
to fund any portion of a purchase hereunder, nor shall the commitment of any
Purchaser hereunder be increased as a result of such default by any other
Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event any
Purchaser shall fail to advance funds as provided herein, the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion but shall not be obligated to, advance as a
Purchaser all or any portion of such amount (the "Deficiency Advance") and shall
                                                  ------------------
thereafter be entitled to payments on such Deficiency Advance in the same manner
and at the same rate(s) to which such other Purchaser would have been entitled
had it made such advance itself; provided that, upon payment to the
                                 --------
Administrative Agent from such other Purchaser of the entire outstanding amount
of such Deficiency Advance, together with interest thereon, at the Applicable
Margin applicable to the related Purchase, then such payment shall be credited
against the Administrative Agent's share of the total outstanding Purchasers'
Investment in full payment of such Deficiency Advance. Acceptance by the
Transferor of a Deficiency Advance from the Administrative Agent shall in no way
limit the rights of the Transferor against the Purchaser failing to fund its pro
rata portion (based on its Percentage) of the purchase price of any
purchase hereunder.

                 SECTION 4. SERVICING AND SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES

         4.01     Appointment of Servicer. Until the Administrative Agent gives
notice to the Transferor of the designation of a new Servicer in accordance
with the last sentence of this Section, Mattel is hereby designated as, and
hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant
to the terms hereof; provided that, with respect to any group of Listed
                     --------
Receivables, Mattel (solely in its capacity as Servicer) may, at any time, upon
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, designate any Affiliate of
Mattel as sub-servicer hereunder; provided, however, that such Affiliate shall
                                  --------  -------
not become the Servicer and, notwithstanding any such delegation, Mattel shall
remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without diminution of such
liability by virtue of such delegation and to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if Mattel alone were performing such duties and
obligations. Subject to the foregoing, Mattel hereby delegates to Fisher-Price
all of Mattel's duties and obligations under Section 4.02 below with respect to
                                             ------------
the Listed Receivables originated by Fisher-Price, and Fisher-Price hereby
accepts such delegation.  Mattel acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and
the Purchasers have relied on the agreement of Mattel to act as the Servicer
hereunder in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement.
Accordingly, Mattel agrees that it shall not voluntarily resign as the
Servicer. In the event that a new "Servicer" has been designated pursuant to
the Purchase and Sale Agreement or upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default as
contemplated by Section 4.04, the Administrative Agent may designate as
                ------------
Servicer any Person (including the Administrative Agent) to succeed Mattel or
any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so
designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof.

         4.02     Duties of Servicer. The Servicer shall take or cause to be
taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Listed
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy; provided, however, that
                                                     --------  -------
the Servicer shall not extend the maturity of any Listed Receivable. The
Transferor shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the
benefit of the Transferor and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Purchasers in accordance with their respective interests, all records and
documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to such Listed
Receivables.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Administrative Agent, with the consent or direction of the Requisite
Purchasers, may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to
enforce collection of any Listed Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess
any Related Security; provided, however, that no such direction may be given
                      --------  -------
unless (x) a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (other than a
Termination Event described in Section 7.01(e) or (i) hereof), and (y) the
                               ---------------------
Requisite Purchasers believe in good faith that failure to commence, settle, or
effect such legal action, foreclosure or repossession could materially and
adversely affect a material portion of the Listed Receivables. Subject to
Section 2.04, the Servicer shall hold (and shall cause each sub-servicer to
------------
hold) in trust (and, during the continuance of a Termination Event (other than
a Termination Event described in Section 7.01(e) or (i) hereof), at the request
                                 ----------------------
of the Administrative Agent, segregate) for the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers, from Collections received by the Transferor, any
Seller or the Servicer (or any sub-servicer) with respect to the Listed

                                    - 16 -
     Mattel, Inc. First Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
<PAGE>

Receivables, the percentage of such Collections represented by the related
Purchased Interest. On each Due Date, the Servicer shall deposit into the
account at Administrative Agent's Office the amount of Collections required to
be held for the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers pursuant
to the preceding sentence.

         4.03     Servicer Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a Servicer Default hereunder:

         (a) (i)  the Servicer shall fail to perform or observe any term,
covenant or agreement hereunder (other than as referred to in this Section) and
such failure shall remain unremedied for ten (10) Business Days or (ii) the
Servicer shall fail to make any payment or deposit to be made by it hereunder
when due; or

         (b)      any representation, warranty, certification or statement made
by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall
prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;
or

         (c)      an Insolvency Proceeding shall have commenced and be
continuing with respect to the Servicer; or

         (d)      an Event of Default under and as defined in the Mattel Credit
Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing.

         4.04 Servicer Default Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, during the continuation of a Servicer Default, the
Administrative Agent, upon the written request of the Requisite Purchasers,
shall, by written notice to the Transferor and the Servicer:

                       (i)     direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts
         payable under any Listed Receivable be made directly to the
         Administrative Agent or its designee;

                       (ii)    instruct the Transferor to give notice of the
         Purchasers' Interest in the Listed Receivables to the Obligors, which
         notice shall be given at the Transferor's expense and shall direct that
         payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee;
         or

                       (iii)   terminate and replace the Servicer.

         4.05     Responsibilities of the Transferor. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Transferor shall (x) perform all of its
obligations (if any) under the Contracts related to Listed Receivables to the
same extent as if interests in such Listed Receivables had not been transferred
hereunder and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of rights hereunder
shall not relieve any Seller or Seller Party from such obligations and (y) pay
when due any taxes payable by the Transferor under applicable law, including
any sales taxes payable in connection with the Listed Receivables and their
creation and satisfaction. The Transferor shall provide to the Servicer on a
timely basis all information needed for such servicing, administration and
collection, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation or
liability

                                    - 17 -
     Mattel, Inc. First Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
<PAGE>

with respect to any Listed Receivable, any Related Security or any related
Contract, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser be obligated to
perform any of the obligations of any Seller or Seller Party under any of the
foregoing.

         4.06     Servicing Fees. In consideration of Mattel's agreement to act
as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent hereby agree
that, so long as Mattel shall perform as Servicer hereunder, the Transferor
shall pay over to Mattel a fee (the "Servicing Fee"), payable quarterly in
                                     -------------
arrears on or before the tenth day of the following quarter, equal to 1.0% per
annum times the face amount of the Listed Receivables, as compensation for its
servicing activities.

                    SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         5.01     Representations and Warranties.  Each Seller Party severally

         (b)      The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller Party

including such Seller Party's use of the proceeds of purchases, (i) are within

such Seller Party the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect
or (4) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or
affecting such Seller Party or its property, the violation of which would
result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) do not result in or require the
creation of any material Adverse Claim upon or with respect to any of its
material properties or upon or with respect to the Listed Receivables (other
than pursuant to the Transaction Documents). This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and
delivered by such Seller Party.

         (c)      No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice

legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction

         (f)     With respect to the Transferor, the Transferor is the legal and
beneficial owner of the Listed Receivables and all other Specified Assets, free

covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There is
no fact known to the officers of any Seller Party as of the date of this
Agreement (other than matters of a general economic nature) which materially
adversely affects the business, operations, property, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) of any Seller Party and their respective Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, which has not been disclosed herein or in the written

Adverse Effect.

locations, so long as, prior to making such a change, the Transferor shall have
taken all actions in any applicable jurisdiction that may be requested by the
Administrative Agent to further assure and perfect the interests of the
Administrative Agent and the Purchasers in the Listed Receivables; and
(ii) shall provide the Administrative Agent with at least 15 days' written
notice prior to making any change in the Transferor's name or making any other
change in the Transferor's identity or corporate structure (including a merger)
which could render any UCC financing statement theretofore filed with respect
to such Person by any other Person (including, if applicable, any UCC financing
statements filed in connection with this Agreement) "seriously misleading" as
such term is used in the UCC, so long as, prior to making such a change, the
Transferor shall have taken all actions in any applicable jurisdiction that may
be requested by the Administrative Agent to further assure and perfect the
interests of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers in the Listed
Receivables; each notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall set forth the applicable change and the effective date thereof. The
Transferor also will maintain and implement administrative and operating
procedures (including an ability to recreate records evidencing Listed
Receivables and related Contracts in the event of the destruction of the
originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records,
computer tapes and disks and other information reasonably necessary or
advisable for the collection of all Listed Receivables (including records

take all action necessary or reasonably desirable to maintain a valid,
enforceable and first priority, perfected security interest in the Specified
Assets in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the

protect and perfect or more fully evidence the interest of the Administrative
Agent and the Purchasers under this Agreement, as the Administrative Agent may
request.

         (e)     Sales, Liens, Etc. The Transferor shall not sell, assign (by
operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to
exist any Adverse Claim upon or with respect to, any or all of its right, title
or interest in, to or under the Specified Assets or upon or with respect to any
account to which any Collections of any Listed Receivables are deposited
(except as required by this Agreement or the rights of the depository
institution that maintains such account), or assign any right to receive income
in respect of any items contemplated by this Section.

         (f)     Extension or Amendment of Receivables. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, no Seller Party shall adjust the outstanding
principal balance of, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Listed

         (h)     Audits. Each Seller Party shall, from time to time during
regular business hours (and with reasonable advance notice) as requested by the
Administrative Agent, permit the Administrative Agent, or its agents or
representatives, (x) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all
books, records and documents (including computer tapes and disks) in the

Receivables and the Related Security, including the related Contracts, and (y)
to visit the offices and properties of such Seller Party for the purpose of
examining such materials described in clause (x) above, and to discuss matters
relating to Listed Receivables and the Related Security or such Seller Party's

visits and discussions may cover, among other things, maturity dates, agings,
past dues, charge-offs, and offsets with respect to the Listed Receivables.

         (i)     Status of Listed Receivables. In the event that any third party
and any Seller Party enter into negotiations or discussions regarding the
provision of financing (whether in the form of a loan, purchase or otherwise)
with respect to any Listed Receivable, such Seller Party shall inform such
third party that the Transferor has sold an undivided percentage ownership
interest in such Listed Receivable to the Purchasers.

         (j)     Reporting Requirements.

                 (i)     If a Purchasers' Investment with respect to an
         undivided interest purchased by the Purchasers remains outstanding on
         the applicable Due Date, then the Transferor or the Servicer shall

         Agent as soon as possible and in any event within five Business Days
         after the occurrence of each Termination Event or event which, with the

         Termination Event, a statement of the chief financial officer of such
         Seller Party setting forth details of such Termination Event or event
         and the action that such Seller Party has taken and proposes to take
         with respect thereto.

declare any Dividend, (ii) lend or advance any funds; or (iii) repay any loans
or advances to, for or from any Seller or other Affiliate of the Transferor
(actions of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein
collectively called "Restricted Payments"), unless (A) in the case of Dividends,
such Dividends comply with applicable law, and (B) in the case of any Restricted
Payment, the Transferor would be Solvent after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment.

         (l)     Mergers, Acquisitions. Sales, Investments.  The Transferor
                 shall not:

         Agreement or any Other Permitted Accounts Receivable Financing
         Facility).

         (m)     No Modification of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The
Transferor will not agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver, alternation or
other modification of the Purchase and Sale Agreement which may have a material
adverse effect on the Administrative Agent's right, title and interest in the
Receivables or which may have a material adverse effect on the collectibility
of the Receivables or which may limit or adversely affect Mattel's obligations
as Guarantor thereunder.

         (n)     Claim under Section 7.01 of Purchase and Sale Agreement.

         If the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers makes a claim under

make such claim thereunder in the name of the Transferor.

                               ---------------    ---
shall terminate automatically.

         7.03    Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided for in this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any

                      SECTION 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

         8.01    Appointment and Authorization. Each Purchaser hereby
irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any of the Purchasers, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

         8.02    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

         8.03    Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the Administrative
Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable to the Purchaser for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this

negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any
of the Purchasers for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made
by the Transferor or the Guarantor, or any officer or partner thereof,
contained in this Agreement or in any other

                                    - 25 -
     Mattel, Inc. First Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
<PAGE>

Transaction Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, or for the value of any collateral or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, or for any failure of the Transferor or the Guarantor or
any other to any Transaction Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of the Transferor, the Servicer or the Guarantor or any of
their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

         8.04        RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

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

         (b)     For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Sections 3.01 and 3.02, each Purchaser that has executed this
             -------------     ----
Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be
satisfied with each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative
Agent to such Purchaser for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or
required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or
satisfactory to the Purchaser, unless an officer of the Administrative Agent
responsible for the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
shall have received notice from the Purchaser prior to any borrowing specifying
its objection thereto and either such objection shall not have been withdrawn
by notice to the Administrative Agent to that effect or the Purchaser shall not
have made available to the Administrative Agent the Purchaser's ratable portion
of such borrowing.

         8.05    Notice of Termination Event or Servicer Default. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Termination Event or Servicer Default unless the
Administrative Agent has failed to receive on account of any Purchaser such
Purchaser's Purchasers' Investment, plus Yield Reserve, on or before the
applicable Due Date, or unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
written notice from a Purchaser, the Transferor, Servicer or the Guarantor
referring to this Agreement, describing

                                    - 26 -
     Mattel, Inc. First Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
<PAGE>

such Termination Event or Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a
"notice of termination event and/or servicer default." In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Purchasers. The Administrative Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Termination Event or Servicer Default as
shall be requested by the Requisite Purchasers in accordance with Section 7;
                                                                  ---------
provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
--------  -------
received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Termination Event or Servicer Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Purchasers. In the event that any
remedy is exercised pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.04 or 7.02 of this Agreement,
                                -------------  ----    ----
each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent shall pursue remedies designated by
the Requisite Purchasers to the same extent as though such demand was caused by
the action of all Purchasers, and each Purchaser agrees to act as expeditiously
as possible so as to maximize recovery. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser
shall have any right individually to take action with respect to the Purchased
Interest, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies with
respect to any portion of the Purchased Interest may be exercised by the
Administrative Agent as directed by the Requisite Purchasers for the ratable
benefit of the Purchasers.

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

         8.07    Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be consummated, the Purchasers shall indemnify upon demand the
Administrative Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of the Transferor or the Guarantor and without limiting the obligation
of the Transferor or the Guarantor to do so), ratably from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits,

                                    - 27 -
     Mattel, Inc. First Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
<PAGE>

costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including at any time following the repayment of the Purchased Interests and
the termination or resignation of the related Administrative Agent) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of
the foregoing; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be liable for the
               --------  -------
payment to the Administrative Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Purchaser shall
reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any
costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and the
allocated cost of in-house counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein to the extent that the
Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Transferor or the Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
if the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the
United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative
Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Purchaser (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly
executed, or because such Purchaser failed to notify the Administrative Agent of
a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Purchaser shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs
and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of
in-house counsel). The obligation of the Purchasers in this Section shall
survive the payment of all obligations hereunder.

         8.08    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of
America and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire
equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory or other business with any Obligor, the Transferor or the
Guarantor as though it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without
notice to or consent of the Purchasers. With respect to its purchases
hereunder, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were
not the Administrative Agent, and the terms "Purchaser" and "Purchasers" shall
include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

         8.09    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Purchasers; provided
that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its
resignation as Administrative Agent under the Mattel Credit Agreement. If the
Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
then the Requisite Purchasers may appoint a successor Administrative Agent for
the Purchasers, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of
the United States or any state thereof, having a combined surplus and capital
of not less than

                                    - 28 -

     to, the Subsidiary exceed 10 percent of the total assets of the Company and
     its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed
     fiscal year (for a proposed business combination to be accounted for as a
     pooling of interests, this condition is also met when the number of common
     shares exchanged or to be exchanged by the Company exceeds 10 percent of
     its total common shares outstanding at the date the combination is
     initiated); or

          (b) the Company and its other Subsidiaries' proportionate share of the
     total assets (after intercompany eliminations) of the Subsidiary exceeds 10
     percent of the total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries
     consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year; or

          (c) the Company and its other Subsidiaries' equity in the income from

     exceeds 10 percent of such income of the Company and its Subsidiaries
     consolidated for the most recently completed fiscal year;

provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, TLC shall not be a
--------  -------
Material Subsidiary hereunder.

     For the purpose of meeting the prescribed income test the following
guidance should be applied:

          (i) When a loss has been incurred by either the Company and its
     Subsidiaries consolidated or the tested Subsidiary, but not both, the
     equity in the income or loss of the tested Subsidiary should be excluded
     from the income of the Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated for
     purposes of the computation.

          (ii) If income of the Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated for
     the most recent fiscal year is at least 10 percent lower than the average
     of the income for the last five years, such average income should be
     substituted for purposes of the computation.  Any loss years should be
     omitted for purposes of computing average income.

          (iii)  Where the test involves combined entities, as in the case of
     determining whether summarized financial data should be presented, entities
     reporting losses shall not be aggregated with entities reporting income.

or before the Initial Funding Date hereby agrees severally, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a single advance to the Company
on the Initial Funding Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender's Commitment.

                                                        ------------
Administrative Agent shall make available to the Company on the Initial Funding

     (a) The Company may upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative
Agent:  (i) elect to convert any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an

telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent followed immediately by written
notice in the form of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which telephonic
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (i) 12:00 noon (New
York time) at least three Business Days in advance of the conversion or
continuation date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as

Rate Loans, the Company has failed to select a new Interest Period to be
applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans or a new type of Loan or if any Default
or Event of Default shall then exist, the Company shall be deemed to have
elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as
of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

     (d) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, or, if no timely notice is
provided, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the
details of any automatic conversion.  All conversions and continuations shall be
made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

     (e) Unless the Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree, after the
occurrence of and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the
Company may not elect to have a Loan be made as, or converted into or continued

Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of
$3,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount so long
as the unpaid balance is not less than $5,000,000; or (ii) any Base Rate Loans
in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount; provided that in the event of
                                                --------
any such prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Company shall be obligated
to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.05. If such
                                                        ------------
notice of prepayment does not specify how such prepayment shall be applied, it
shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before
application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, as determined by the Administrative Agent.
All prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied to the payment of any
interest that has accrued to the date of such prepayment before application to
principal. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be applied to principal only.

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

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

paid on the date of any partial prepayment of Loans hereunder shall be paid in
respect of the portion of the Loans so prepaid.

     (c) Any principal payments on the Loans not paid when due and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans not paid
when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by
acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at
a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable
under this Agreement.

     2.08 Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of IBJ or Bear Stearns, as applicable, such fees as specified in the Fee
Letter.

     2.09 Calculation of Interest and Fees.

     (a)  Interest on all Loans and fees payable under this Agreement shall be

the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date
of the making of the Loan or the first day of an Interest Period, as the case
may be, shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided
                                                                     --------
that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's
interest shall be paid on that Loan.

     (b) Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in
the Applicable Margin or Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall become effective as
of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Applicable
Margin or Eurodollar Reserve Percentage becomes effective.  Each determination
of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest
error.

     2.10 Payments by the Company.

     (a) All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts hereunder,
under the Fee Letter and under any Notes shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or any other deduction, in same-day funds, and
delivered to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office not
later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date due.  The Administrative Agent
will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable
share as expressly provided herein) of such principal, interest or other amounts
in like funds received.  Any payment which is received by the Administrative
Agent after that time shall be deemed to have been paid by the Company on the
next succeeding Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue.

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

     (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder
that the Company will not make such payment in full as and when required
hereunder, the Administrative Agent may

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

assume that the Company has made such payment in full to the Administrative
Agent on such date in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to
be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount
then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Company shall not have made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together
with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is distributed to
such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as in effect for each such day.

     2.11 Payments by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent.

     (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender on the Initial Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to
the Administrative Agent as and when required hereunder for the account of the
Company the amount of that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the borrowing hereunder on
the Initial Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender
has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds on the Initial Funding Date, and the Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the Company on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent any
Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent in such
circumstances has made available to the Company such amount, that Lender shall
on the next Business Day following the Initial Funding Date make such amount
available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal
Funds Rate for and determined as of each day during such period.  A notice of
the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing
under this Section 2.11(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If such
           ---------------
amount is so made available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall
constitute such Lender's Loan for all purposes of this Agreement.  If such
amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business
Day following the Initial Funding Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Company of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, the Company shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the
Administrative Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day
elapsed since the Initial Funding Date, at a rate per annum equal to the
interest rate(s) applicable at the time to the Loans.

     (b) The failure of any Lender to make its Loan on the Initial Funding Date
shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make its Loan
on the Initial Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the
Initial Funding Date.

     2.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loan made by it any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of
the Loans obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (a) notify
the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders
such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however,
--------  -------

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded, and each
other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid
therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's Pro Rata Share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required
repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of
any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect
of the total amount so recovered. The Company agrees that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12
                                                                ------------
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such
participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations
purchased pursuant to this Section 2.12 and will in each case notify the Lenders
                           ------------
following any such purchases or repayments.

                                  SECTION 3.
                             PAYMENTS IN GENERAL.

     3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Subject to Section 3.01(d) and Section 3.01(g), any and all payments by
                    ---------------     ---------------
the Company to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any
and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case
of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, such taxes (including income taxes
or franchise taxes) as are imposed on or measured by each Lender's or the
Administrative Agent's net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or
maintains a Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-
excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
                                              -----

     (b) In addition, the Company shall pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").
                -----------

     (c) Subject to Section 3.01(g), the Company shall indemnify and hold
                    ---------------
harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes
and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction
on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by such Lender or the
                              ------------
Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions
to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payment under
this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or
the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

     (d) If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or
the Administrative Agent, then, subject to Section 3.01(g):  (i) the sum payable
                                           ---------------
shall be increased as necessary so

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) such Lender or the
                                   ------------
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the Company shall
make such deductions, and (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law.

     (e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Company of Taxes or
Other Taxes, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence
of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     (f) Each Lender that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust"
within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding
under the Internal Revenue Code (or after accepting an assignment of an interest
herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
successor thereto (relating to such Lender and entitling it to an exemption
from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Lender
by the Company pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Lender by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from
U.S. withholding tax.  Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender shall
(i) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed
and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be
adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as
may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to
avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative
Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding
taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction, and (iii) take such steps as shall not be materially
disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable laws that the Company make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.  If such Lender fails
to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to
the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Internal
Revenue Code, without reduction.  If any Governmental Person asserts that the
Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from
payments made in respect of such Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent
under this Section, and costs and expenses (including costs and expenses of
attorneys to the Administrative Agent) of the Administrative Agent.  The
obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

     (g) The Company will not be required to pay any additional amounts in
respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 3.01(d) to any Lender for the account of
                             ---------------
any Lending Office of such Lender:  (i) if the obligation to pay such additional
amounts would not have arisen but for a

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

failure by such Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 3.01(f) in
                                                            ---------------
respect of such Lending Office; or (ii) if such Lender shall have delivered to
the Company the form(s) in respect of such Lending Office pursuant to Section
                                                                      -------
3.01(f), and such Lender shall not be entitled to exemption from deduction or
-------
withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the
Company hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other
than a change in United States law or regulations or in the official
interpretation of such law or regulations by any Governmental Person charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
force of law) after the date of delivery of such form(s).

     (h) If, at any time, the Company requests any Lender to deliver any forms
or other documentation pursuant to Section 3.01(f), then the Company shall, on
                                   ---------------
demand of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, reimburse such Lender
for any costs and expenses (including expenses of outside legal counsel and the
allocated costs of in-house counsel) reasonably incurred by such Lender in the
preparation or delivery of such forms or other documentation.

     (i) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(d), then such Lender shall use
                                     ---------------
its reasonable best efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions)
to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such
additional payment by the Company which may thereafter accrue if such change in
the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     (j) The agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section
                                                                         -------
3.01 shall survive the payment in full of all other Obligations.
----

     3.02 Capital Adequacy. If (a) any adoption of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law, rule or regulation, or (b) compliance with any
guideline, request or directive of any central bank or other Governmental Person
or quasi-governmental authority exercising control over lenders or financial
institutions generally or any court (whether or not having the force of law), or
(c) any change in the force or effectiveness of the regulations set forth at 12
C.F.R. Part 3 (Appendix A), 12 C.F.R. Part 225 (Appendix A), 12 C.F.R. Part 208
(Appendix A) or 12 C.F.R. Part 325 (Appendix A) requires that the commitments of
any Lender hereunder (including commitments and obligations in respect of Loans)
be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the
appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender (a "Change in Law"), the result of which is to reduce
                            -------------
the rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of such commitments
to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change
in Law, taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital
adequacy, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, the Lender shall
deliver to the Company a statement of the amount necessary to compensate such
Lender for the reduction in the rate of return on its capital attributable to
such commitments (the "Capital Compensation Amount"). The Lender shall determine
                       ---------------------------
the Capital Compensation Amount in good faith, using reasonable attribution and
averaging methods. The Lender shall from time to time notify the Company of the
amount so determined. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Company to
such Lender ten Business Days after such notice is given. As soon as practicable
after any Change in Law, each Lender shall submit to the Company estimates of
the Capital Compensation Amounts that would be payable as a function of such
Lender's commitments hereunder.

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

     3.03 Illegality.

     (a) If any Lender shall determine that any Governmental Rule or any change
therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Person has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender
or its Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by
the Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of
the Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender
shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Company that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

     (b) If a Lender shall determine that any Governmental Rule or any change
therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Person has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender
or its Lending Office to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Company shall
prepay all Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Lender then outstanding, together with
interest accrued thereon, or convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Lender
then outstanding to Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.04, either on the last
                                                ------------
day of the Interest Period thereof if the Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if the Lender may
not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans, together with any
amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.05.
                                                                ------------

     (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans has been terminated, the Company may elect, by giving notice to the Lender
through the Administrative Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made
by the Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

     (d) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this

Section 3.03, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office
------------
with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the
need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment
of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

     3.04 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. If any Lender shall determine
that, due to either (a) the introduction of or any change (other than any change
by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the
calculation of the Eurodollar Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any
Governmental Person (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any
increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Company shall be liable for, and
shall from time to time, upon demand therefor by such Lender (with a copy of
such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to such Lender, additional amounts
as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. Each
Lender agrees to notify the Company of the occurrence of such an increased cost
event promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof.

     3.05 Funding Losses. The Company agrees to reimburse each Lender for, and
to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense which the Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure of the Company to make any
payment or prepayment of principal

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

of any Eurodollar Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration
thereof) when due, (b) the failure of the Company to borrow, continue or convert
a Loan on the specified date after the Company has given (or is deemed to have
given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (c) the
failure of the Company to make any prepayment on the specified date after the
Company has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.05 or (d) the prepayment
                                              ------------
of a Eurodollar Rate Loan for any reason on a day which is not the last day of
the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided that any such loss or expense
                                          --------
shall include any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder or from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company to the Lenders
under Sections 3.03(b), 3.04 and 3.05, each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by a
      ----------------  ----     ----
Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall
be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in
determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan is
in fact so funded. This covenant shall survive the payment in full of all other
Obligations.

     3.06 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent shall have
determined that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or if the Requisite Lenders advise the
Administrative Agent in writing that the Eurodollar Base Rate applicable for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan,
the Administrative Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the
Company and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Requisite Lenders revokes such
notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it.
If the Company does not revoke such notice with respect to Loans, the Lenders
shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such
Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

     3.07 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Company in this
Section 3 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

President Finance or Treasurer of the Company.  All such statements were
prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the consolidated financial
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of operations and statement of cash flow of the Company and
its Subsidiaries for the periods then ended.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any material Contingent Obligation, liability for taxes or
long-term lease which as of the date of this Agreement, individually or in the
aggregate, would, if it became absolute, result in a Material Adverse Effect
which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.

     5.09 Changes, Etc.  Since March 31, 2000 there has been no event or events
that have, either individually or in the aggregate, resulted in a Material
Adverse Effect.

sufficient and legal title to all the properties and assets reflected in the
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 referred to in Section 5.08
                                                               ------------
except as set forth in said balance sheet or in the notes thereto, except for
assets acquired or disposed of in the ordinary course of business or as

                                                             -------------
there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration (whether or
not purportedly on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) before or
by any Governmental Person, referee or arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or an of the Company's or such Subsidiaries' properties which, in
the reasonable judgment of the Company and its executive officers (assuming
adverse determination of facts which the Company in good faith believes it would
not successfully prove, and considering damages which in their best judgment are
the maximum that would be awarded upon, and the likelihood of, an adverse
determination of the claims or the amount which reflects their best judgment as
to that required to be paid to settle the claims) would result in a Material
Adverse Effect, and there is no basis known to such executive officers for any
such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of any applicable Governmental
Rule which could result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) subject to or in
default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Person, referee or arbitrator which could result
in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
investigation or arbitration pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which
provides a reasonable basis for questioning the validity or the enforceability
of any Loan Document.

     5.12 Payment of Taxes.  All tax returns and reports of the Company and its
Material Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely
filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the
Company and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets,
income and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and
payable or bonded against, except to the extent permitted by Section 6.03. The

Company knows of no proposed tax assessment against it or any of its
Subsidiaries that would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation of the Company,
and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or
both, would constitute such a default, except, in any such case, where the
consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, would not
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.15 Governmental Regulation.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the

     5.17 Environmental Matters.  The Company conducts in the ordinary course of
business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and existing
Environmental Claims on the business, operations and properties of it and its
Subsidiaries, and as a result thereof the Company has reasonably concluded that
such Environmental Laws and Environmental Claims could not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.18 Disclosure.  No representation or warranty of the Company contained in
this Agreement or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished
to the Lenders by the Company since April 1, 2000 for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement contains, as of the date of this

allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $10,000,000. As used in this

     7.08 Margin Regulations.  No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under
this Agreement shall be used by the Company for the purpose of "purchasing" or

Regulation T, or Regulation X of the Federal Reserve Board or any other
regulation of the Federal Reserve Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each
case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and the use of such
proceeds.

     7.09 Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid
the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default if such action is taken or
condition exists.

waived by the Company, and (c) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all
rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or

                --------  -------
specified in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.01 above (and, in the case of any

                           THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

     9.01 Appointment and Authorization.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably
appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action
on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties, as are expressly
delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the
Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with
any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

     9.02 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-
fact that it selects with reasonable care.

     9.03 Liability of Administrative Agent.  None of the Administrative Agent-
Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or
in connection with, this Agreement or

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

any other Loan Document, or for the value of any collateral or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Company or any other party to
any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

     9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

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

     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in

Sections 4.01 and 4.02, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be
-------------     ----
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender
for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lender, unless
an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received notice from the Lender
prior to any borrowing specifying its objection thereto, and either such
objection shall not have been withdrawn by notice to the Administrative Agent to
that effect or the Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative
Agent the Lender's ratable portion of such borrowing.

     9.05 Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders,
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender
or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that
the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
requested by the Requisite Lenders in accordance

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

with Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative
     ---------  --------  -------
Agent shall have received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or
in the best interest of the Lenders.

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

     9.07 Indemnification.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the
Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) ratably
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any
kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the
repayment of the Loans and the termination or resignation of the related
Administrative Agent) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any such Person
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no
                                                  --------  -------
Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related
Person of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand
for its ratable share of all costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including fees
and expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of in-house counsel) incurred by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein to the extent
that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on
behalf of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the
Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Person of the United States
or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
(because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the
Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and
including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses
(including fees and expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of in-house
counsel). The obligation of the Lenders in this Section shall survive the
payment of all Obligations hereunder.

     9.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity.  IBJ and its Affiliates
may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits
from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory or other business with, the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though IBJ were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. With respect to its
Loans, IBJ shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include IBJ in its individual
capacity.

     9.09 Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may, and at
the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon
30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint
from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent
shall be approved by the Company. If no successor agent is appointed prior to
the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the
Company, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to
all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, the term
"Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections
                                                          ---------     --------
10.04 and 10.15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
-----     -----
be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date
which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless
thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of
the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite
Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

     9.10 Co-Syndication Agents, Documentation Agent, Arranger and Co-Arranger.
None of the Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this
Agreement as Co-

                                      -40-

right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement
other than, in the case of any such Person that is also a Lender, those
applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the
Persons so identified as a Co-Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Arranger or the Co-Arranger shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied,
and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into
this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

                                  SECTION 10.

                                             -------------
acknowledges and agrees that any such disposition will give rise to a direct
obligation of the Company to the Participant in respect of, and the Participant
shall be entitled to the benefit of, Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 10.15 as if it were
                                     -------------  ----     -----
a "Lender."  In the case of any such participation, except as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by the
Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation, except that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due
and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to
have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts
owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this
Agreement.

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

     (e) Each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and
exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to
it by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or by the Administrative
Agent on the Company's or such Subsidiary's behalf, in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates
shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than
pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such
information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure by such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided that such
                                                             --------
source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company known to
such Lender; provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information
             --------  -------
(A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Person to
which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender
by any Governmental Person, (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process
(including of a

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

referee or arbitrator) and when required to do so in accordance with the
provisions of any applicable Governmental Rule, provided that a Lender shall
                                                --------
disclose only the information required by such request and shall notify the
Company in advance of such disclosure so that the Company may seek an
appropriate protective order, and (C) to such Lender's Affiliates, independent
auditors and other professional advisors, provided that such Persons are
                                          --------
obligated to keep such information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Assignee or Participant
and to any prospective Assignee or Participant such financial and other
information in such Lender's possession concerning the Company or its
Subsidiaries which has been delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders by the Company in connection with the Lenders' credit
evaluation of the Company prior to entering into this Agreement; provided that,
                                                                 --------
unless otherwise agreed by the Company, such Assignee or Participant shall agree
in writing to such Lender to keep such information confidential to the same
extent required of the Lenders hereunder.

     (f) At the request of the Company made to the Administrative Agent not
later than October 17, 2000 and with the consent of the Administrative Agent,
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans or, if the Initial Funding Date has
not yet occurred, the aggregate Commitments may be increased by the joining of
one or more additional Lenders to this Agreement or by the increase of the Loan
or Commitment, as applicable, of an existing Lender (each a "Joining Lender"),
                                                             --------------
in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.01(f).  Any Joining Lender shall
                                     ----------------
be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Company and shall
become a Joining Lender pursuant to a Joining Lender Agreement executed by such
Joining Lender and the Company and approved by the Administrative Agent;
provided that (i) any such Joining Lender must make a new Loan or have a new
--------
Commitment of, or must increase its existing Loan or Commitment by, at least
$10,000,000 and (ii) in no event may the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
or the aggregate Commitments, as applicable, exceed $300,000,000.  Upon the
execution and delivery of a Joining Lender Agreement by a Joining Lender and the
other parties thereto, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to
such Joining Lender Agreement such Joining Lender shall be a party hereto (if
not already a party) and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder (including the obligation to comply with Section 3.01(f)) with a new
                                                   ---------------
or increased Loan or Commitment, as applicable, as set forth in such Joining
Lender Agreement.  Any such Joining Lender Agreement shall be deemed to amend
this Agreement only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such
Joining Lender to this Agreement, if applicable, and the resulting adjustment of
Pro Rata Shares resulting from the addition to or increase of the aggregate
Loans or the aggregate Commitments, as applicable.  If a Joining Lender becomes
a party hereto (by execution of a Joining Lender Agreement) effective after the
Initial Funding Date, then the Company, such Joining Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall determine among themselves the timing and other
procedures for the funding of such Joining Lender's new or increased Loan;
provided, however, that such timing and other procedures shall be substantially
--------  -------
similar to those contained in Section 2.  As conditions precedent to the making
or increase of a Loan or Commitment by a Joining Lender effective after the
Initial Funding Date, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent for such Joining Lender (i) a certificate of a
Responsible Officer to the effect set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and (c)
                                               ----------------     ---
(provided that such certification shall be made on and as of the date of funding
 --------
of such Joining Lender's new or increased Loan and in respect of such Loan) and
(ii) if requested by such Joining Lender, an appropriate Note to the order of
such

                                      -43-

Joining Lender.

     10.02  Survival of Warranties and of Certain Agreements.

     (a) All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans
hereunder and the execution and delivery of any Notes.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the
contrary, the agreements of the Company set forth in Sections 2.09, 3, 10.04 and
                                                     -------------  -  -----
10.15 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.12, 9, 10.01(a),
-----                                                         ----  -  --------
10.01(e) and 10.05 shall survive the payment of the Obligations by the Company
--------     -----
and the termination of this Agreement.

     10.03 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or
delay on the part of any Lender or any holder of any Note in the exercise of any
power, right or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall impair such power,
right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or any
Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.

     10.04 Fees and Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be consummated, the Company agrees to pay within 30 days after
submission of an invoice therefor (a) all the actual and reasonable out-of-
pocket costs and expenses of preparation of the Loan Documents; (b) all the
costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Company (including any
opinions requested by the Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder),
and of the Company's performance of and compliance with all agreements and
conditions contained therein on its part to be performed or complied with; (c)
the cost of delivering to the Lenders any Notes pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement; (d) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent's counsel (including the
allocated cost of Administrative Agent's in-house counsel and staff) in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of
the Loan Documents and the Loans and any amendments and waivers hereto; and (e)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all actual and reasonable out-of-
pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of law firms engaged by the
Lenders and the reasonable estimate of the allocable costs of counsel on the
staff of legal departments of the Lenders and costs of settlement) incurred by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender in enforcing any Obligations or in
collecting any payments due from the Company hereunder or under any Notes by
reason of such Event of Default or in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of any Loan Document in the nature of a "work-out" or of any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding.

     10.05 Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default (after the
giving of any notice and the expiration of any grace period contained in the
definition thereof), each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Note is
hereby authorized by the Company at any time or from time to time, without
notice to the Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, to set off and

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

appropriate any and all deposits (including indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured but not including trust
accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or
that subsequent holder or any Lender Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or
the account of the Company and to apply any such amounts in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.12 irrespective of whether or not that Lender or that
              ------------
subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder, and each such Lender
Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff and
appropriation.

     10.06 Notices.  Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice
or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in
writing and may be personally served, telecopied, telexed or sent by United
States mail and shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in person,

States mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly

notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 10.06) shall
                                                            -------------

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

     10.07 Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation under this
Agreement or any Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     10.08 Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by the Company therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders and the Company, and acknowledged
by the Administrative Agent, and any such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in
--------  -------
writing and signed by all the Lenders and the Company, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, do any of the following:

     (a) increase or extend any Lender's Commitment or subject any Lender to any
additional obligations, except as permitted by Section 10.01(f);
                                               ----------------

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

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

     (d) change any Lender's Pro Rata Share, except as provided in Section
                                                                   -------

     (g)  discharge any Guarantor;

provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
-------- -------
and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders or
all the Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document.  No notice to or demand on the
Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any amendment, waiver or consent
effected in accordance with this Section 10.08 shall be binding upon each Lender
                                 -------------
at the time, each future Lender, each holder of any Notes at the time
outstanding, each future holder of the Notes and, if signed by the Company, on
the Company.

     10.09 Obligations Several.  The obligation of each Lender hereunder is
several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any obligation or commitment of
any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action
taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders
to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or another entity.

     10.10 Certain Changes.  If (a) any changes in accounting principles from
those used in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section
                                                                         -------
5.08 hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations,
----
pronouncements and opinions by or requested by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (or
successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) result in a change in the
method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms found in
Section 1, 6 or 7, or (b) the Company changes the manner in which its fiscal
---------  -    -
year, fiscal quarters and fiscal months are determined, the parties hereto agree
to enter into negotiations in order to amend the appropriate provisions of this
Agreement so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that
the criteria for evaluating the Company's financial condition and operations or
establishing limitations hereunder shall be the same after such changes as if
such changes had not been made.

     10.11 Headings.  Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

     10.12 Applicable Law.
