                             GIANT INDUSTRIES, INC.

                     11% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2012

         1. Interest. Giant Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 11%
per annum from May 14, 2002 until maturity. The Company will pay interest
semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an "Interest Payment
Date"), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest
Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from May 14, 2002; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment
of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to
on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that
the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2002. The Company shall
pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on
demand at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay
interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable
grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent
lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

         2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the
persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the
record date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes
are cancelled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date.
Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.
The Company will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in
money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay
such amounts by check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a
Holder's registered address.

         3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar
or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act
as Paying Agent or Registrar.

         4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as
of May 14, 2002 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors
and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture
unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Notes include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbb) as in effect on the
date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. The Indenture pursuant to which the
Notes are issued provides that an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Notes
may be issued thereunder.

         5. Ranking and Guarantees. The Notes are general senior subordinated
unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company's obligation to pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes is unconditionally
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by the
Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Article Eleven of the Indenture. Certain
limitations to the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors are set forth in
further detail in the Indenture.

         6. Optional Redemption. At any time on or after May 15, 2007, the
Company may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the Notes at the
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the
Notes) set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning May
15 of the years indicated below:

                  Year                                  Percentage
                  ----                                  ----------
<S>                                                     <C>
                  2007                                    105.500%
                  2008                                    103.667%
                  2009                                    101.833%
                  2010 and thereafter                     100.000%
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
         In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2007, the Company may redeem
all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days'
notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount
thereof, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable date of
redemption, and (iii) the Make-Whole Premium.

         At any time and from time to time on or prior to May 15, 2005, the
Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes originally issued with the proceeds of one or more Public Equity
Offerings, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount)
of 111%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however,
that at least 65% of the aggregate initial principal amount of the Notes must
remain outstanding after each such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing
redemption, the Company must mail notice of redemption in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture no later than 60 days after the related Public Equity
Offering.

         7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed to the
Holder's registered address at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. If less than all
Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in
multiples of $1,000 pro rata, by lot or by any other method that the Trustee
considers fair and appropriate; provided that if the Notes are listed on any
securities exchange, that such method complies with the requirements of such
exchange. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part. On
and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of
them called for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of
the redemption price or accrued interest).

         8. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control of the
Company, the Company shall be required to make an offer to purchase each
Holder's Notes, at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest
to the Change of Control Payment Date.

         9. Net Proceeds Offer. In the event of certain Asset Sales, the Company
may be required to make a Net Proceeds Offer to purchase pro rata or by lot all
or any portion of each Holder's Notes, at 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes plus accrued interest to the Net Proceeds Payment Date.

         10. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations
on, among other things, the ability of the Company to merge or consolidate with
any other Person or sell, lease or otherwise transfer all or substantially all
of its properties or assets, and the ability of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries to dispose of certain assets, to pay dividends and make certain
other distributions and payments, to make certain investments or redeem, retire,
repurchase or acquire for value shares of Capital Stock, to incur additional
Indebtedness or incur encumbrances against certain property and to enter into
certain transactions with Affiliates, all subject to certain limitations
described in the Indenture.

         11. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A
Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange
any Notes selected for redemption. Also, it need not transfer or exchange any
Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Notes to be redeemed.

         12. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as the owner of it for all purposes and neither the Company, any
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee nor any Agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         13. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for one year, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money
back to the Company at its written request. After that, all liability of the
Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.
<PAGE>
         14. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes, and any past
default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. In addition, any
amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture relating to
subordination that adversely affects the rights of the holders of the Notes will
require the consent of the holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount
of Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company may
amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to certificated Notes or to make any change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder.

         15. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the
obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the
predecessor corporation will be released from those obligations.

         16. Defaults and Remedies. An event of default generally is: default by
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 30 days in payment of interest on
the Notes; default by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in payment of
principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; default by the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor in the deposit of any optional redemption payment when due
and payable; failure to pay at maturity or defaults resulting in acceleration
prior to maturity of certain other Indebtedness; failure by the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor for 60 days after notice to comply with any of its other
agreements in the Indenture; certain final judgments against the Company or
Subsidiaries; a failure of any Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor to be in full
force and effect or denial by any Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations with
respect thereto; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Subject to
certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Company, all
outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity and security
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Company must
furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee.

         17. Trustee Dealings with Company and Subsidiary Guarantors. The Bank
of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with
the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries or
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

         18. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or
stockholder, as such, of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee,
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or the Trustee, under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

         19. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or
an authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the other
side of this Note.

         20. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=

Agent's or Lenders' involvement in their preparation.

      1.03  Accounting Principles.

            (a) Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting
terms not expressly defined herein shall be construed, and all financial
computations required under this Agreement shall be made, in accordance with
GAAP, consistently applied. References to "consolidated," when it precedes any
accounting term, means such term as it would apply to the Company and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with GAAP.

            (b) References herein to "fiscal year" and "fiscal quarter" refer to
such fiscal periods of the Company.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                   THE CREDITS

      2.01 Amounts and Terms of Commitments. Each Lender severally agrees, on
the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Loans to the Company (each
such loan, a "REVOLVING LOAN") from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not
to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of the following: (i) the amount
set forth on SCHEDULE 2.01 (such amount, as the same may be reduced under
SECTION 2.05 or as a result of one or more assignments under SECTION 11.07, the
Lender's "COMMITMENT") and (ii) the Lender's Pro Rata Share of the current
Borrowing Base; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of
Revolving Loans, the Effective Amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans,
together with the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not at any time
exceed the combined Commitments of all of the Lenders. Within the limits of each
Lender's Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Company may borrow under this SECTION 2.01, prepay under SECTION
2.06 and reborrow under this SECTION 2.01.

      2.02  Loan Accounts.

            (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of
business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Loans made by the Lenders to the Company and the interest and payments thereon.
Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing
with respect to the Loans.

            (b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative
Agent, the Loans made by such Lender may be evidenced by one or more Notes,
instead of or in addition to loan accounts. Each such Lender may endorse on the
schedules annexed to its Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made
by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Company with
respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Company to
endorse its Note(s) and each Lender's record shall be conclusive absent manifest
error; provided, however, that the failure of

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any
Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company
hereunder or under any such Note to such Lender.

      2.03  Procedure for Borrowing.

            (a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made upon the
Company's irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in
the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) (i) three Business
Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans
and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of
Base Rate Loans, specifying: (A) the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in
an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof; (B) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day;
(C) the Interest Rate Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing; and (D) the
duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans included in such
notice. If the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest
Period for any Borrowing comprised of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period
shall be three months.

            (b) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of any Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of that Borrowing.

            (c) Each Lender will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Company
at the Administrative Agent's Payment Office by 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time)
on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company in funds immediately available to
the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made
available to the Company by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in
accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the
Company of like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

            (d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, there may not be more than
seven (7) different Interest Periods in effect.

      2.04  Conversion and Continuation Elections.

            (a) The Company may, upon irrevocable written notice to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with SUBSECTION 2.04(b): (i) elect, as of any
Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, or as of the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans, to convert any
such Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $2,000,000, or that
is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into Loans of any
other Interest Rate Type; or (ii) elect as of the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, to continue any Revolving Loans having Interest Periods
expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $2,000,000,
or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided,
that if at any time the aggregate amount of Offshore Rate Loans in respect of
any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof
to be less than $2,000,000, such Offshore Rate Loans shall automatically convert
into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right of the Company to
continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Offshore Rate Loans shall
terminate.

            (b)   The Company shall deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 10:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) at least (i) three Business Days in advance
of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or
continued as Offshore Rate Loans; and (ii) one Business Day in advance of the
Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into Base Rate
Loans, specifying: (A) the proposed Conversion/Continuation

                                      -25-
<PAGE>
Date; (B) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued; (C) the
Interest Rate Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or
continuation; and (D) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate
Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period.

            (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to
Offshore Rate Loans, the Company has failed to select timely a new Interest
Period to be applicable to Offshore Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of
Default then exists, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Offshore Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of
such Interest Period.

            (d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is
provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and
continuations shall be made ratably 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 Majority Lenders otherwise agree, during the
existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Company may not elect to have a
Loan converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.

            (f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans,
there may not be more than seven (7) different Interest Periods in effect.

      2.05  Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

            (a) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company may, upon not
less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the Commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments (and,
correspondingly, as applicable, the L/C Commitment) by an aggregate minimum
amount of $2,000,000.00 or any multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof,
unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the
effective date thereof, (i) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C
Obligations together would exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in
effect, or (ii) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding
would exceed the amount of the L/C Commitment then in effect. Once reduced in
accordance with this subsection, the Commitments may not be increased.

            (b) Additional Provisions. Each reduction in aggregate Commitments
pursuant to PARAGRAPH (a) above shall be applied to each Lender according to its
Pro Rata Share. All accrued Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so
terminated or reduced, Letter of Credit Fees, and Fronting Fees to, but not
including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments,
shall be paid by the Company on the effective date of such reduction or
termination.

      2.06 Optional Prepayments. Subject to SECTION 4.04, the Company may, at
any time or from time to time, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative
Agent, not less than three (3) Business Days for Offshore Rate Loans and one (1)
Business Day for Base Rate Loans, ratably as to each Lender, prepay Loans in
whole or in part, in minimum amounts of $2,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount
of such prepayment and the Interest Rate Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such
notice, and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein, together with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid
and any amounts required pursuant to SECTION 4.04.

      2.07  Borrowing Base Determinations; Deposit Account Triggering Event;
Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

            (a) The Borrowing Base shall be determined weekly on the last
Business Day of each week until the Termination Date, and shall be subject to
adjustment based upon the results of a field audit pursuant to SECTION 7.10(c),
and shall be equal to the sum of (i) eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Refinery
Hydrocarbon Inventory (except for Eligible Refinery Hydrocarbon Inventory at the
Company's and its Subsidiaries' service stations and travel centers), plus (ii)
fifty percent (50%) of Eligible Refinery Hydrocarbon Inventory at the Company's
and its Subsidiaries' service stations and travel centers, plus (iii) fifty
percent (50%) of Eligible Lubricants Inventory (the Eligible Refinery
Hydrocarbon Inventory and the Eligible Lubricants Inventory hereafter referred
to collectively as the "INVENTORY COMPONENT OF THE BORROWING BASE"), plus (iv)
ninety percent (90%) of Eligible Accounts Receivable from Preferred Eligible
Account Obligors, plus (v) eighty-five percent (85%) of Eligible Accounts
Receivable from Eligible Account Obligors other than Preferred Eligible Account
Obligors, minus 100% of First Purchase Crude Payables.

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dollar amount of the
Inventory Component of the Borrowing Base shall not exceed (i) during the period
from the Closing Date through October 10, 2002, 75% of the Borrowing Base and
thereafter, 60% of the Borrowing Base.

            (c) (i) A "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT TRIGGERING EVENT" shall mean the
occurrence of either of the following: (A) in the event that the Company does
not deliver two consecutive Borrowing Base Reports in compliance with the
requirements hereof both of which show Availability of $10,000,000 or more
(either because of failure to deliver one more such reports in compliance with
this Agreement or because one or more of such reports show Availability of less
than $10,000,000), a Deposit Account Triggering Event shall be deemed to have
occurred, or (B) in the event that Availability on any date is less than
$10,000,000, the Administrative Agent, acting upon the direction of the Majority
Lenders, may declare that a Deposit Account Triggering Event has occurred on
such date or at any time thereafter. Upon the occurrence of a Deposit Account
Triggering Event, the Administrative Agent shall give a Control Notice to each
Depository Bank and each Broker, and the Administrative Agent may take such
other action as it deems necessary or desirable in order to establish the sole
dominion and control of the Administrative Agent over all deposit accounts and
all investment accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In the event of the
occurrence of a Deposit Account Triggering Event, the Company shall execute all
documents and take such actions as shall be requested by the Administrative
Agent in order to establish the sole dominion and control of the Administrative
Agent over all deposit accounts and investment accounts of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

                  (ii) A "CONTROL NOTICE" means notice by the Administrative
Agent to a Depository Bank or Broker instructing such Depository Bank or Broker
to do one or both of the following (A) cease permitting the Company and its
Subsidiaries from having access to the deposit accounts or investment accounts
held by such Depository Bank or Broker, and (B) sweep balances in such deposit
accounts or investment accounts daily into the Concentration Account.

                  (iii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (A) the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the direction of the Majority Banks shall,
give a Control Notice to each Depository Bank and each Broker, (B) the
Administrative Agent may take such other action as it deems necessary or
desirable in order to establish the sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent over all deposit accounts and all investment accounts of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (C) the Company shall execute all
documents and take such actions as shall be requested by the Administrative
Agent in order to

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
establish the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent over all
deposit accounts and investment accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

            (d) If on any date the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and
the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations together exceed the Borrowing Base,
the Company shall, without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Loans by an amount equal to the applicable excess
("MANDATORY PREPAYMENT") and the provisions of SECTION 4.04 shall be applicable.
If on any date after giving effect to any Mandatory Prepayment made on such date
pursuant to the preceding sentence the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations
together exceed the Borrowing Base, the Company shall immediately Cash
Collateralize on such date the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal
to the amount by which the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations exceeds the
Borrowing Base.

      2.08  Repayment.

            (a) Principal. The Company shall repay to the Lenders the aggregate
principal amount of Loans outstanding on the Termination Date.

            (b) Interest.

                  (i) Subject to CLAUSE (iii) of this SUBSECTION 2.08(b), each
      Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
      thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to
      the lesser of (A) the Offshore Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be,
      as selected by the Company or otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loan
      in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof (subject to the
      Company's right to convert to other Interest Rate Types of Loans under
      SECTION 2.04), plus the Applicable Margin, or (B) the Highest Lawful Rate.

                  (ii) Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be paid in arrears
      on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of
      any prepayment of Loans under SECTION 2.06 or 2.07 for the portion of the
      Loans so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof
      and, during the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall be paid
      on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent
      of the Majority Lenders.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding CLAUSE (i) of this SUBSECTION 2.08(b),
      while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the Company shall
      pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the
      extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans,
      at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and
      (B) the per annum rate equal to the rate set forth in CLAUSE (i) of this
      SUBSECTION 2.08(b) plus two percent (2%) per annum.

      2.09  Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in SECTION 3.08:

            (a) Arrangement, Agency Fees. The Company shall pay an arrangement
fee to the Arranger for the Arranger's own account, and shall pay an agency fee
to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's own account, as
required by the letter agreement ("FEE LETTER") between the Company and the
Arranger and Administrative Agent dated February 6, 2002.

            (b) Commitment Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the "COMMITMENT FEE") on
the average daily unused portion of such Lender's Commitment, computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated
by the Administrative Agent, equal to the percent per annum set forth in
SCHEDULE 2.02 corresponding to the applicable pricing level determined in
accordance therewith. For purposes of calculating utilization under this
subsection, the Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Effective
Amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding, plus the Effective Amount of L/C
Obligations then outstanding. Such Commitment Fee shall accrue from the
Execution Date to the Termination Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter commencing on June 30, 2002
through the Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the
Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination
of Commitments under SECTION 2.05, the accrued Commitment Fee calculated for the
period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or
termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis
of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment
date. The Commitment Fee provided in this subsection shall accrue at all times
after the above-mentioned commencement date, including at any time during which
one or more conditions in ARTICLE V are not met.

      2.10  Computation of Fees and Interest.

            (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base
Rate is determined by Bank of America's "reference rate" shall be made on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.
All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a
360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid
than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue
during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the
first day thereof to the last day thereof.

            (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error.

      2.11  Payments by the Company.

            (a) All payments to be made by the Company shall be made without
condition or deduction for any defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company shall
be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the
Administrative Agent's Payment Office, and shall be made in dollars and in
immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on
the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the
Administrative Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) shall be deemed
to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue.

            (b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of
"Interest Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following 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 receives notice from the Company
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Company
will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Administrative
Agent may 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, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Company has not made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the
Administrative

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

      2.12  Payments by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent.

            (a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender on
or prior to the Execution Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the
Execution Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing,
that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Company the amount of that Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each
Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds on the Borrowing 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 Business
Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each
day during such period. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender with respect to amounts owing under this SUBSECTION (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 on the
date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made
available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will 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 date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time
to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

            (b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date
shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on
such Borrowing 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 any Borrowing
Date.

      2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share, such Lender shall
immediately (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 pro rata
with each of them; provided, however, 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 ratable 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 may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off, but subject to SECTION 11.09) 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 under this Section and will in each case notify the
Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

                                      -30-

      2.14 Security and Guaranty. (a) All obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors under this Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty and all other Loan
Documents shall be secured, pro rata with the Specified Swap Contracts, in
accordance with the Collateral Documents.

            (b) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement, each of the
Notes and all other Loan Documents shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the
Guarantors pursuant to the Guaranty.

      2.15 Concentration Account. (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain an
account styled "Giant Industries Concentration Account" (the "CONCENTRATION
ACCOUNT"). The Concentration Account shall be a blocked account from which only
authorized officers of the Administrative Agent may withdraw or authorize
withdrawal of funds. Pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Account Control
Agreements and the Investment Account Control Agreements, Depository Banks and,
to the extent applicable, the Brokers must transfer funds on deposit in the
Deposit Accounts (as defined in the Deposit Account Control Agreements) and the
Investment Accounts (as defined in the Investment Account Control Agreements) to
the Concentration Account upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent is authorized to give such notice as provided in
SECTION 2.07(c).

            (b) All amounts on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be
held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance
of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including without limitation the exclusive right of withdrawal, over
the Concentration Account. The Administrative Agent shall permit the disbursal
of funds from the Concentration Account, upon the Company's request, to the
Company or to an account designated by the Company, as follows:

                  (i) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred
            and is continuing, upon written request made by the Company, the
            Administrative Agent shall transfer funds to an unrestricted deposit
            account of the Company if together with such request the Company
            certifies that (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
            is continuing, and (B) no part of such funds will be used for any
            (x) expenditure or other payment or transfer of funds to any Person
            in excess of $500,000, (y) payment of any extraordinary items, or
            (z) payment or transfer of funds to an Affiliate, officer, director
            or employee except payments in the ordinary course of business; and

                  (ii) Such other disbursals as may be permitted by the
            Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

            (c) The Concentration Account shall be a blocked, non-interest
..bearing account held by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the
Administrative Agent upon such terms and in such type of account as customary at
that depository institution. The Company shall pay any fees charged by such
depository institution which fees are of the type customarily charged by such
institution with respect to such accounts, and if such fees are not paid by the
Company, the institution holding the Concentration Account may deduct them from
such account.

            (d) The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent to apply funds in the Concentration Account as follows, in such order as
may be designated by the Administrative Agent: (i) to payment of costs and
expenses required to be paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION
11.04, and (ii) to payment or prepayment of principal of and interest on the
Loans, and (iii) to payment of any other Obligations; provided that if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, amounts on deposit in the
Concentration Account shall be applied to satisfy the Obligations pro rata with
obligations to the Swap Providers under Specified Swap Contracts then due and
payable. The provisions of SECTION 4.04 shall apply to prepayments made pursuant
to this Section 2.15.

            (e) As security for the payment of all Obligations, the Company
hereby grants, conveys, assigns, pledges, sets over and transfers to the
Administrative Agent, and creates in the Administrative Agent's favor a Lien on,
and security interest, in (i) the Concentration Account, (ii) all contract
rights, claims and privileges in respect of the Concentration Account, and (iii)
all money, cash, checks, instruments, securities, security entitlements, and
other items of value now or hereafter paid, deposited in, credited to, held in

documents as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable in the Administrative
Agent's judgment to obtain the full benefits (including perfection and priority)

                                   ARTICLE III

                              THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

      3.01  The Letter of Credit Facility.

            (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) the Issuing
Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in
this SECTION 3.01, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Execution Date to the Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for
the account of the Company, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously
issued by it, in accordance with SUBSECTIONS 3.02(c) and 3.02(e), and (B) to
honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Lenders severally agree
to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Company;
provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Lender
shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if, as of the date of
Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "ISSUANCE DATE"), after giving effect to
such Issuance, (1) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the
Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans would exceed the lesser of (x) the
combined Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base, or (2) the Effective Amount of
the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company's
ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly,
the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.

            (b) The Issuing Bank is under no obligation to Issue any Letter of
Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank
from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the
Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank
shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the Issuance of
letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Execution Date, or shall
impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable on the Execution Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith
deems material to it; (ii) the Issuing Bank has received written notice from any
Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Company, on or prior to the Business Day
prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or
more of the applicable conditions contained in ARTICLE V is not then satisfied;
(iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit is (A) more than 360
days after the date of Issuance, unless the Issuing Bank and the Majority
Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing, or (B) after the Termination
Date,

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
unless the Company has agreed to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit
in accordance with SECTION 3.07(b); (iv) the expiry date of any requested Letter
of Credit is prior to the maturity date of any financial obligation to be
supported by the requested Letter of Credit; (v) any requested Letter of Credit
does not provide for drafts, or is not otherwise in form and substance
acceptable to the Issuing Bank, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall
violate any applicable policies of the Issuing Bank; (vi) any Letter of Credit
is for the purpose of supporting the issuance of any letter of credit by any
other Person; (vii) if such Letter of Credit is issued to support workmen's
compensation liabilities and the face amount is more than $1,750,000; or (viii)
the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more of the Issuing
Bank's policies.

      3.02  Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit.

            (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued two (2) Business Days
after receipt by the Issuing Bank (if received by the Issuing Bank no later than
10:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time) of an irrevocable written request from the
Company (with a copy sent by the Company to the Administrative Agent) or such
shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole
discretion. Each such request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by
facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C
Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing
Bank such matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

            (b) At least two Business Days prior to the Issuance of any Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of
the L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application from the Company and, if the
Administrative Agent has not received such copy, the Issuing Bank will provide
the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has
received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the
Issuing Bank is to issue a requested Letter of Credit from the Administrative
Agent (A) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue such Letter of Credit because
such issuance is not then permitted under SUBSECTION 3.01(b); or (B) that one or
more conditions specified in ARTICLE V are not then satisfied; then, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company in accordance with the
Issuing Bank's usual and customary business practices.

            (c) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and
prior to the Termination Date, the Issuing Bank will, upon the written request
of the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to
the Administrative Agent) at or before 10:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time at least
two (2) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a
particular instance in its sole discretion), amend any Letter of Credit issued
by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by
facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, and made in such form
as the Issuing Bank may require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation
to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation
at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not
accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

            (d) Upon receipt of notice from the Issuing Bank, the Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the Issuance of a Letter of Credit and
any amendment thereto.

            (e) If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall
be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the
Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, the Issuing Bank
shall be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to renew, and the Company and
the Lenders hereby authorize such renewal. The Issuing Bank shall not be
obligated to

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
allow such Letter of Credit to renew if the Issuing Bank would have no
obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit under the terms
of this Agreement.

            (f) The Issuing Bank may, at its election (or as required by the
Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders), deliver any
notices of termination or other communications to any Letter of Credit
beneficiary, and take any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time
and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of such Letter of
Credit to be a date not later than the Termination Date.

            (g) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with
any L/C-Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).

            (h) The Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Administrative Agent,
concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or
amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a
beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment
to or renewal of a Letter of Credit.

      3.03  Existing Letters of Credit, Risk Participations, Drawings and
Reimbursements.

            (a) On and after the Execution Date, the Existing Letters of Credit
shall be deemed for all purposes, including for purposes of the fees to be
collected pursuant to SUBSECTIONS 3.08(a) and 3.08(c), and reimbursement of
costs and expenses to the extent provided herein, Letters of Credit outstanding
under this Agreement and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and shall be governed by the applications and agreements
pertaining thereto and by this Agreement. Each Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank
on the Execution Date a participation in each such Letter of Credit and each
drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender's Pro
Rata Share times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. For purposes of SECTION
2.01 and SUBSECTION 2.09(b), the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to
utilize pro rata the Commitment of each Lender.

            (b) Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each
drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Pro Rata Share
of such Lender, times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. For purposes of
SECTION 2.01, each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the
Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such
participation.

            (c) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the
Company. The Company shall reimburse the Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m.
(Dallas, Texas time), on each date that any amount is paid by the Issuing Bank
under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an "HONOR DATE"), in an amount equal
to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank. In the event the Company fails to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter
of Credit by 10:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Honor Date, the Issuing Bank
will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have
requested that Base Rate Loans be made by the Lenders to be disbursed on the
Honor Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized
portion of the Commitments and subject to the conditions set forth in ARTICLE V.
Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this SUBSECTION 3.03(c)

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile);
provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

            (d) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to SUBSECTION 3.03(c)
make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant
Issuing Bank an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to
its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating
Lenders shall (subject to SUBSECTION 3.03(e)) each be deemed to have made a
Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount. If
any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the amount of the drawing by no later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on
the Honor Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make
such payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Lender makes such payment, at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time
during such period. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice to each
Lender of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of the Administrative
Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable
any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender
from its obligations under this SECTION 3.03.

            (e) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted
into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans to the Company in whole or in
part, because of the Company's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in
ARTICLE V or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred
from the Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of such drawing, which L/C
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2% per annum, and
each Lender's payment to the Issuing Bank pursuant to SUBSECTION 3.03(d) shall
be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and
shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this SECTION 3.03.

            (f) Each Lender's obligation in accordance with this Agreement to
make the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this SECTION 3.03,
as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and
unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Bank and shall not be affected
by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, the
Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or
(iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's
obligation to make Revolving Loans under this SECTION 3.03 is subject to the
conditions set forth in ARTICLE V.

      3.04  Repayment of Participations.

            (a) When the Administrative Agent receives (and only if the
Administrative Agent receives), for the account of the Issuing Bank, immediately
available funds from the Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the
Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has
paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank for such
Lender's participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to SECTION 3.03 or (ii)
in payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will pay to each
Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank, the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
funds, and the Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the Pro Rata Share of
such funds of any Lender that did not so pay the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank.

            (b) If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at
any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian, or any official in any Insolvency

                                      -35-
<PAGE>
Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Company to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to SUBSECTION
3.04(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or
interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative
Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank the
amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is
made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate
in effect from time to time.

      3.05  Role of the Issuing Bank.

            (a) Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing
under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and other
documents, if any, expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain
or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority
of the Person executing or delivering any such document.

            (b) No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Bank shall be liable to
any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the
request or with the approval of the Lenders (including the Majority Lenders, as
applicable); (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any L/C-Related Document.

            (c) The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of
any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude the Company's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against
the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No
Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
assignees of the Issuing Bank, shall be liable or responsible for any of the
matters described in CLAUSES (I) through (VII) of SECTION 3.06; provided,
however, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, that the
Company may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may be
liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the
Company proves were caused by the Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross
negligence in failing to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation
to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft, certificate(s) and other documents,
if any, strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the Issuing
Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary; and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible
for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

      3.06 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Company under this
Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a
drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing
under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and each such other L/C-Related Document under all circumstances,
including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any L/C-Related Document; (ii) any change in the time, manner or
place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of
the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C-Related Documents;
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any
Letter of Credit (or

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting),
the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement,
the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related Documents or any
unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid
or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise
of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;
(v) any payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the
terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any
Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,
receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
Insolvency Proceeding; (vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in
respect of any Letter of Credit; or (vii) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Company or a guarantor.

      3.07  Cash Collateral Pledge.

            (a) The Company shall immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an amount equal to the L/C Obligations upon the occurrence of any
of the following: (i) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the
Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request on any Letter of
Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing hereunder; (ii) upon
the occurrence of the circumstances described in SUBSECTION 2.07(d) requiring
the Company to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit; or (iii) upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default. If so instructed by the Administrative Agent,
the Company shall satisfy its obligation to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations by placing funds in a cash collateral account established by the
Administrative Agent for such purpose (the "LETTER OF CREDIT CASH COLLATERAL
ACCOUNT"). The Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The account
shall be a blocked, non-interest bearing account held by the Administrative
Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent upon such terms and in such
type of account as customary at that depository institution. The Company shall
pay any fees charged by such depository institution which fees are of the type
customarily charged by such institution with respect to such accounts. Moneys in
such account shall (i) be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of
Letter of Credit Borrowings and interest thereon, and (ii) be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company in respect of
Letters of Credit.

            (b) As security for the payment of all Obligations, the Company
hereby grants, conveys, assigns, pledges, sets over and transfers to the
Administrative Agent, and creates in the Administrative Agent's favor a Lien on,
and security interest, in (i) the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account, (ii)
all contract rights, claims and privileges in respect of the Letter of Credit
Cash Collateral Account, and (iii) all money, cash, checks, instruments,
securities, and other items of value now or hereafter paid, deposited in,
credited to, held in (whether for collection, provisionally or otherwise) or
otherwise in the possession or under the control of, or in transit to, the
depository institution holding the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account,
together with all proceeds thereof. At any time and from time to time, upon the
Administrative Agent's request, the Company promptly shall execute and deliver
any and all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary,
appropriate or desirable in the Administrative Agent's judgment to obtain the
full benefits (including perfection and priority) of the security interest
created or intended to be created by this SUBSECTION 3.07(b) and of the rights
and powers herein granted.

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
            (c) If, on the Termination Date, any one or more Letters of Credit
for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, then the
Company shall on such date Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount
equal to 110% of the L/C Obligations.

      3.08  Letter of Credit Fees.

            (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each of the Lenders a letter of credit fee (the "RISK PARTICIPATION
FEE") with respect to the Letters of Credit equal to (i) the percent per annum
therefor specified in SCHEDULE 2.02 corresponding to the applicable pricing
level determined in accordance therewith multiplied by (ii) the average daily
maximum amount available to be drawn on the outstanding Letters of Credit,
computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each
calendar quarter based upon Letters of Credit outstanding for that quarter as
calculated by the Administrative Agent. Such Risk Participation Fee shall be due
and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar
quarter during which Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first
such quarterly date to occur after the Execution Date, through the Termination
Date (or such later date upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall
expire), with the final payment to be made on the Termination Date (or such
later expiration date).

            (b) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank a letter of credit fronting fee (the "FRONTING FEE")
for each Letter of Credit Issued by the Issuing Bank equal to 0.125% per annum
of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn on the outstanding
Letters of Credit, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter based upon Letters of Credit outstanding for that
quarter.

            (c) The Company shall pay to the Issuing Bank from time to time on
demand the normal issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees,
and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of
credit as from time to time in effect.

      3.09 Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by
the Issuing Bank and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including
any such agreement applicable to Existing Letters of Credit), (a) the rules of
the "International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit,
and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits,
as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC")
at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission

payable under this Section) paid by the Lender or the

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions
to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this
indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the
Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

            (c) 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: (i) the sum payable shall be increased
as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings
(including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) 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 or withholdings been made; (ii) the Company shall make such
deductions and withholdings; (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law; and (iv) the Company shall also pay to each
Lender or the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time
interest is paid, all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies
as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Lender would have received if
such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

            (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Company of
Taxes or Other Taxes, the Company shall furnish 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.

            (e) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to SUBSECTION (c) of this Section,
then upon written request of the Company such Lender shall use reasonable
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.

      4.02  Illegality.

            (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make
Offshore Rate Loans, or has materially restricted the authority of such Lender
to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars in the applicable offshore
Dollar market, or to determine or charge interest based on the Offshore Rate,
then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Company through the Administrative
Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Offshore Rate Loans or to convert
Base Rate Loans into Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist.

            (b) The Company shall, upon its receipt of a notice pursuant to
Section 4.02(a) and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay in full such Offshore Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding,
together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under SECTION 4.04,
either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or
immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore
Rate Loan. If the Company is required to so prepay any Offshore Rate Loan, then
concurrently with such prepayment, the Company shall borrow from the affected
Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
            (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Offshore
Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, all Loans which would otherwise
be made by the Lender as Offshore Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

            (d) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent under this
Section, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with
respect to its Offshore 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.

      4.03  Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

            (a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) 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 Offshore
Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the
compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there
shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making,
funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans or participating in Letters of
Credit, or, in the case of the Issuing Bank, any increase in the cost to the
Issuing Bank of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing
under any Letter of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable
by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes
of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting
from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 4.01 shall govern), (y)
changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income
by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of
either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its
Lending Officer, and (z) reserve requirements contemplated by the determination
of the Offshore Rate then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time
to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs.

            (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by
the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender
with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation
controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's
desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is
increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations
under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Company through
the Administrative Agent, the Company shall pay to the Lender, from time to time
as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the
Lender for such increase.

      4.04 Funding Losses. The Company shall reimburse each Lender and hold each
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense which the Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of: (a) the failure of the Company to make on a timely
basis any payment of principal of any Offshore Rate Loan; (b) the failure of the
Company to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Company has given (or is
deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation (including by reason of the failure to satisfy any
condition precedent thereto); (c) the failure of the Company to make any
prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under SECTION 2.06; (d) the
prepayment (including pursuant to SECTION 2.07 or 2.08) or other payment
(including after acceleration thereof) of an

                                      -40-
<PAGE>
Offshore Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest
Period; or (e) the automatic conversion under SECTION 2.04 of any Offshore Rate
Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant
Interest Period; including any such loss of anticipated profits and any loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain its Offshore Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits
from which such funds were obtained. The Company shall also pay customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For
purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company to the Lenders under this
Section and under SUBSECTION 4.03(a), each Offshore 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 LIBOR used in determining the
Offshore Rate for such Offshore 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 Offshore Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

      4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent determines
that for any reason that (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed Offshore Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period, or (c)
that the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to SUBSECTION 2.08(b)(i) for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Offshore Rate
Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent upon the
instruction of the Majority 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, 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 Offshore Rate Loans.

      4.06 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or
compensation under this ARTICLE IV shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount payable to the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive
and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error.

      4.07 Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Company from any
Lender (an "AFFECTED LENDER") of a notice of illegality under SECTION 4.02 or a
claim for compensation under SECTION 4.03, or the Company being or becoming
liable with respect to payments hereunder to any Lender (also an "AFFECTED
LENDER") for any Taxes pursuant to SECTION 4.01 assessed at a rate in excess of
the rate of any such Taxes for which it is liable with respect to payments to
any other Lender hereunder, the Company may: (i) request the Affected Lender to
use its best efforts to obtain a replacement bank or financial institution
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (a "REPLACEMENT LENDER") to acquire and
assume all or a ratable part of all of such Affected Lender's Loans and
Commitment, and, if such Affected Lender or any Affiliate thereof is a Swap
Provider, all specified Swap Contracts of such Affected Lender and its
Affiliates; (ii) request one more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all
or part of such Affected Lender's Loans and Commitment, and, if such Affected
Lender or any Affiliate thereof is a Swap Provider, all specified Swap Contracts
of such Affected Lender and its Affiliates, but none of the Lenders shall have
any obligation to do so; or (iii) designate a Replacement Lender satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent. Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under
CLAUSE (i) or (iii) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                                      -41-

      6.06 No Default. No Default or Event of Default exists or would be
reasonably expected to result from the incurring of any Obligations by the
Company or from the grant or perfection of the Liens of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders on the Collateral. Neither the Company nor any Material
Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in
any respect which, individually or together with all such defaults, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or that would, if such
default had occurred after the Closing Date, create an Event of Default under
SUBSECTION 9.01(e).

      6.07  ERISA Compliance.

            (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state law. Each
Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received
a favorable determination letter from the IRS and to the best knowledge of the
Company, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification.
The Company and each ERISA Affiliate has made all required contributions to any
Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver
or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code
has been made with respect to any Plan.

            (b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of Company,
threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority,
with respect to any Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or
violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan which
has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

            (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii) neither
the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to
incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan
(other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (iv)
neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects
to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of
notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under
Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v)
neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that
could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

      6.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The proceeds of the Loans shall
be used solely for the purposes set forth in and permitted by SECTION 7.13 and
SECTION 8.07. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is generally engaged in the
business of purchasing or selling Margin Stock or extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. Margin Stock does not constitute
more than 25% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, and the Company does not have any present intention that Margin
Stock will constitute more than 25% of the value of such assets.

      6.09 Title to Properties. The Company and each Subsidiary have good record
and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, or other
sufficient title to all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct
of their respective businesses, except for such defects in title as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The property of the Company and its Subsidiaries is subject to
no Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

      6.10 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal tax
returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all federal taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or
their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have

                                      -47-
<PAGE>
been provided in accordance with GAAP. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
filed all material state and other material non-federal tax returns and reports
required to be filed, and have paid all material state and other material
non-federal taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or
imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and
payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance
with GAAP, except where failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge, there is no proposed
tax assessment against the Company or any Subsidiary that would, if made,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      6.11 Financial Condition. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company and its Subsidiaries dated December 31, 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of income or operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date: (i) were prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as
otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present in all material respects
the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date
thereof and results of operations for the period covered thereby (subject to
ordinary, good faith year-end adjustments); and (iii) show all material
Indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for
taxes, material commitments and Contingent Obligations. Since December 31, 2001,
there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

      6.12 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 its business, operations and properties, and as a result
thereof the Company has reasonably concluded that such Environmental Laws and
Environmental Claims would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      6.13 Regulated Entities. None of the Company, any Person controlling the
Company, or any Subsidiary, is an "Investment Company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is not subject to any provision of
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the
Interstate Commerce Act or any state public utilities code, or of any other
Federal or state statute or regulation, limiting its ability to incur
Indebtedness.

      6.14 No Burdensome Restrictions. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is
a party to or bound by any Contractual Obligation, or subject to any restriction
in any Organization Document, or any Requirement of Law, which would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      6.15 Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, etc. The Company or its
Subsidiaries own or are licensed or otherwise have the right to use all of the
material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
contractual franchises, authorizations and other rights that are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict
with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Company, no
slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or
other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Company
or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim
or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened, and no
patent, invention, device, application, principle or any statute, law, rule,
regulation, standard or code is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
proposed, which, in either case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                                      -48-

      6.16 Subsidiaries. As of the Execution Date, the Company has no
Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in PART (a) of SCHEDULE
6.16 hereto and has no material equity investments in any other corporation or
entity other than those specifically disclosed in PART (b) of SCHEDULE 6.16.

      6.17 Insurance. The properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries are
insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates
of the Company, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks
as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning
similar properties in localities where the Company or such Subsidiary operates.

      6.18 Full Disclosure. None of the representations or warranties made by
the Company or any Subsidiary in the Loan Documents as of the date such
representations and warranties are made or deemed made, and none of the
statements contained in any exhibit, report, written statement or certificate
furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with
the Loan Documents (including the offering and disclosure materials delivered by

as whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact known to the Company
or omits any material fact known to the Company required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they are made, not misleading as of the time when made or delivered.

      6.19  Solvency.  The Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
and the Company, individually, and each of the Guarantors, individually, is
Solvent.

      6.20 Labor Relations. There is (a) no significant unfair labor practice
complaint pending against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of them, and no significant
grievance or significant arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any
collective bargaining agreement is so pending against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of
them, (b) no significant strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (c) to

respect to the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the
knowledge of the Company, no union organizing activities are taking place,
except (with respect to any matter specified in CLAUSE (a), (b) or (c) above,
either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      6.21  Collateral Documents.

            (a) The provisions of each of the Collateral Documents are effective
to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a
legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in all right,
title and interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the collateral
described therein; and financing statements have been filed in the offices in
all of the jurisdictions listed in the schedule to the Security Agreement.

            (b) All representations and warranties of the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries party thereto contained in the Collateral Documents are true and
correct in all material respects.

its Material Subsidiaries to, maintain and preserve all its property which is
used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary

                                      -52-
<PAGE>
such other Persons except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            (b) The Company shall cause the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to be named as
secured party or mortgagee and additional loss payee with respect to insurance
policies covering the Collateral, and as additional insured with respect to the
Company's general liability, auto liability, and excess liability insurance, in
a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each such policy of insurance
shall contain a clause or endorsement requiring the insurer to give not less
than 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent in the event of
cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause or endorsement
stating that the interest of the Administrative Agent shall not be impaired or
invalidated by any act or neglect of the Company or its Subsidiaries for
purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy or similar language to
that effect. All premiums for such insurance shall be paid or caused to be paid
by the Company when due, and certificates of insurance and, if requested by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, photocopies of the policies, shall be
delivered to the Administrative Agent, in each case in sufficient quantity for
distribution by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders. If the Company
or any Subsidiary fails to procure such insurance or to pay the premiums
therefor when due, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the
Majority Lenders shall, do so from the proceeds of the Revolving Loans.

            (c) The Company shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders of (i) any loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral, and (ii)
any material loss, damage or destruction to any assets of the Company or its
Subsidiaries not constituting Collateral, in each case, whether or not covered
by insurance. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company shall negotiate all claims for loss, damage or destruction consistent
with prudent business practice and, with respect to the assets subject to the
Yorktown Term Loan Documents, in accordance with the Yorktown Term Loan
Documents. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall have the authority to negotiate all claims for loss,
damage or destruction of Collateral in the name of the Company.

            (d) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to collect all
insurance and condemnation proceeds in respect of Collateral directly and to
apply or remit them as follows: after deducting from such proceeds the
reasonable expenses, if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent in the
collection or handling thereof, the Administrative Agent shall apply such
proceeds, ratably, to the reduction of the Obligations and the payment of
Obligations then due under Specified Swap Contracts, pro rata.

            (e) With respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds relating to
the Company's or its Subsidiaries' assets not constituting Collateral, the
Administrative Agent shall permit the Company or its Subsidiaries, as
applicable, to use such proceeds, or any part thereof, to replace, repair,
restore or rebuild the relevant assets in a diligent and expeditious manner with
materials and workmanship of substantially the same quality as existed before
the loss, damage or destruction, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the aggregate proceeds from and after the
Closing Date do not exceed $3,000,000, and (iii) the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary first demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders that the funds available to it
will be sufficient to complete such replacement, repair, restoration or
rebuilding in the manner provided therein. In all other circumstances, insurance
and condemnation proceeds shall be applied to the Obligations. The provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply to the insurance and condemnation proceeds with
respect to the Yorktown Refinery to the extent that such proceeds are applied to
repay the Yorktown Term Loan or used for the repair or rebuilding of the
Yorktown Refinery.

to have a Material Adverse Effect.

their Subsidiaries to, permit, representatives and independent contractors of

discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective
directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all at the expense of
the Company and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the
Company; provided, however, when an Event of Default exists the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Company at
any time during normal business hours and without advance notice.

            (c) Pursuant to SECTION 7.02(c), the Company has agreed to obtain
and deliver field audit and inventory valuations at the expense of the Company,
as therein provided. In addition, when an Event of Default exists hereunder, the

excess of $3,000,000 and such amount is not paid when due; or (ii) the aggregate
amount of Unfunded Pension Liability among all Pension Plans is in an aggregate
amount and could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect; or
(iii) the Company or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due any installment
payment with respect to its withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA
under a multi-employer Plan in an aggregate amount in excess of $3,000,000;

            (i) Monetary Judgments. One or more final judgments, final orders,
decrees or arbitration awards is entered against the Company or any Subsidiary
involving in the aggregate a liability (to the extent not covered by independent
third-party insurance as to which the insurer does not dispute coverage) as to
any single or related series of transactions, incidents or conditions, of
$3,000,000 or more, and the same shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated and
unstayed pending appeal for a period of 30 days after the entry thereof; or

            (j) Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control; or

            (k) Loss of Permit. Any Governmental Authority revokes or fails to
renew any material license, permit or franchise of the Company or any Material
Subsidiary, or the Company or any Material Subsidiary for any reason loses any

suffers the imposition of any restraining order, escrow, suspension or impound
of funds in connection with any proceeding (judicial or administrative) with
respect to any material license, permit or franchise; or

            (l)   Adverse Change.  There occurs a Material Adverse Effect; or

            (m) Guaranty Default. A Guaranty is for any reason partially
(including with respect to future advances) or wholly revoked or invalidated, or
otherwise ceases to be in full force and effect, or such Guarantor or any other
Person contests in any manner the validity or enforceability thereof or denies
that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder; or any event
described at SUBSECTIONS (f) or (g) of this Section occurs with respect to such
Guarantor; or

            (n) Invalidity of Subordination Provisions. The subordination
provisions of any of the Indentures or Subordinated Notes are for any reason
revoked or invalidated, the Trustee under either of the Indentures, any
successor trustee thereto or any other Person contests in any material respect
the validity or enforceability thereof, or the Indebtedness hereunder does not
have the priority contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture or such
subordination provisions; or

            (o) Prepayment of Subordinated Notes. If the Company or any
Subsidiary is required for any reason to prepay, redeem or purchase in whole or
in part any of the Subordinated Notes prior to the scheduled maturity thereof;
or

                                      -63-
<PAGE>
            (p) Collateral.

               (i) any provision of any Collateral Document shall for any reason
      cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or any
      Subsidiary party thereto or the Company or any Subsidiary shall so state
      in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities
      thereunder; or

              (ii) any Collateral Document shall for any reason (other than
      pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid security interest
      in the Collateral purported to be covered thereby or such security
      interest shall for any reason cease to be a perfected and first priority
      security interest.

      9.02 Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the
Majority Lenders, do any or all of the following:

            (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any
obligation of the Issuing Bank to Issue Letters of Credit to be terminated,
whereupon such Commitments shall be terminated;

            (b) declare an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount that is
or at any time thereafter may become available for drawing under any outstanding
Letters of Credit (whether or not any beneficiary shall have presented, or shall
be entitled at such time to present, the drafts or other documents required to
draw under such Letters of Credit) to be immediately due and payable, and
require that the Company deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent to
Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations;

            (c) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans,
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice
of acceleration or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Company; and

            (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and
remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable
law;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in SUBSECTION
(f) or (g) of SECTION 9.01 (in the case of CLAUSE (i) of SUBSECTION (g) upon the
expiration of the 60-day period mentioned therein), the obligation of each
Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Issuing Bank to Issue Letters of
Credit shall automatically terminate and without further act of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender and without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration or
any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Company, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest
and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable and an
amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount that is or at any time thereafter
may become available for drawing under any outstanding Letters of Credit
(whether or not any beneficiary shall have presented, or shall be entitled at
such time to present, the drafts or other documents required to draw under such
Letters of Credit) shall automatically be due and payable and shall be delivered
to the Administrative Agent to be held as cash collateral for the L/C
Obligations and shall not be subject to or affected by any right of setoff,
counterclaim or recoupment which the Company may now or hereafter have against
any beneficiary, the Issuing Bank, or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever.

      9.03 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided for in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other
rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under
any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.

                                    ARTICLE X

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

      10.01 Appointment and Authorization.

            (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to SECTION 10.09)
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. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent
is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such
term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties.

            (b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect
to any Letters of Credit Issued by it and the documents associated therewith
until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at
the request of the Majority Lenders to act for such Issuing Bank with respect
thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits
and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this ARTICLE X with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in
connection with Letters of Credit Issued by it or proposed to be Issued by it
and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the
Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent," as used in
this ARTICLE X, included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to
the Issuing Bank.

            (c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to
execute the Yorktown Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Lenders.

      10.02 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.

      10.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the 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 or the
transactions contemplated hereby (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

                                      -65-
<PAGE>
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 any other Loan Document, or for the value of or title to any
Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness (other than such Agent-Related
Person's own due execution and delivery), 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 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.

      10.04 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
Majority 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 Majority
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 SECTION 5.01, each Lender that has made available to the
Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the initial Credit Extension or
subsequent Credit Extension, as the case may be, 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 as a condition
precedent to such initial Credit Extension or subsequent Credit Extension, as
applicable.

      10.05 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." The
Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.
Subject to SUBSECTION 10.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall take such action
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the
Majority Lenders in accordance with ARTICLE IX; provided, however, that unless
and until the Administrative Agent has 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.

      10.06 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken,

                                      -66-
<PAGE>
including any review of the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related
Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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, the value of and title to any Collateral and all applicable
bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the
Company hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 the Agent-Related Persons.

      10.07 Indemnification; Certain Depository Bank Matters. (a) Whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall
indemnify upon demand the 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), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities
INCLUDING SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES AS MAY ARISE OR BE CAUSED BY THE
NEGLIGENCE, SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMPARATIVE OR OTHERWISE OF SUCH
AGENT-RELATED PERSONS; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent the same arise 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 any
costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and expenses incurred
in connection with field audits and inventory valuations) 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 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. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the termination of the
Commitments, the repayment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent.

            (b) The Lenders agree to indemnify upon demand: (i) each Depository
Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the
obligation of the Company to do so) and hold it harmless from and against any
and all claims, other than those ultimately determined to be founded on gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Depository Bank, and from and against
any damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities, losses or expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred as a result of the
assertion of any such claims, by any person or entity arising out of, or
otherwise related to any instructions given by the Administrative Agent to the
Depository Bank in connection with the Deposit Account Control Agreement to
which such Depository Bank is a party;

            (c) In the event that a Depository Bank transfers funds to the
Administrative Agent from a deposit account held by such Depository Bank
pursuant to a Control Notice and thereafter items deposited into such deposit
account are dishonored, the Company shall reimburse such Depository Bank as
provided in the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement in the event the
Company fails to do

                                      -67-
<PAGE>
so, to the extent funds on account of such item have been transferred to the
Lenders, the Lenders agree to reimburse the Depository Bank promptly (by
transfer to the Administrative Agent), provided that the Depository Bank submits
a claim for such reimbursement within the time period required by the Deposit
Account Control Agreement to which it is a party.

            (d) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Depository Bank and hold
each such Depository Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, other
than those ultimately determined to be founded on gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Depository Bank, and from and against any damages, penalties,
judgments, liabilities, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees
and disbursements) incurred as a result of the assertion of any such claim, by
any person or entity arising out of, or otherwise related to any instructions
given by the Administrative Agent to the Depository Bank in connection with the
Deposit Account Control Agreement (whether pursuant to a Control Notice or
otherwise). The indemnification set forth in this SECTION 10.07(d) shall survive
termination of this Agreement and each Deposit Account Control Agreement.

      10.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America 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, underwriting or other business with the
Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not
the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder and without notice to or
consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding
the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary) and
acknowledge that the Agent-Related Persons shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America
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.

      10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at
the request of the Majority Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon
30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this
Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
agent for the Lenders. 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, 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 and 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 ARTICLE X and SECTIONS 11.04 and 11.05 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 Majority Lenders appoint a successor
agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for so long
as Bank of America is the Issuing Bank, then Bank of America may not be removed
as the Administrative Agent at the request of the Majority Lenders unless Bank
of America shall also simultaneously be replaced as "Issuing Bank" hereunder
pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank
of America.

      10.10 Foreign Lenders. Each Lender that is a "foreign corporation,
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to
withholding under the Code (or after accepting an assignment of an interest

                                      -68-
<PAGE>
herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from
withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person 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 Person by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Company and the
Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from U.S.
withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (a)
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 Person by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (c)
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 Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above
forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from
any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without
reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent
did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect
of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor,
including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs) 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.

      10.11 Collateral Matters.

            (a) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all the
Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the
Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or
the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain
perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted
pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

            (b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at
its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments
and payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations known to the
Administrative Agent and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; (ii) constituting property in which the Company or any Subsidiary
owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter;
(iii) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness or other debt
instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (iv)
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders or all
the Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in SUBSECTION 11.01(f). Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release particular types or
items of Collateral pursuant to this SUBSECTION 10.11(b), provided that the
absence of any such confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the
Administrative Agent's rights under this SECTION 10.11.

            (c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that Majority Lenders or Lenders, as
the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the
rights of Lenders; and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to

                                      -69-
<PAGE>
refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person
for so refraining) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received
instructions from Majority Lenders. All rights of action under the Loan
Documents and all rights to the Collateral, if any, hereunder may be enforced by
Administrative Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted by Administrative
Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as
Administrative Agent without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or
defendants any other Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the
benefit of Lenders subject to the expenses of Administrative Agent. In actions
with respect to any property of Borrower, Administrative Agent is acting for the
ratable benefit of each Lender. Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether
made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to
the Obligations shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each
Lender.

            (d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to
any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been
encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or
pursuant thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority,
or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the Rights granted or
available to the Administrative Agent in this SECTION 10.11 or in any of the
Collateral Documents; it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Administrative
Agent any act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion,
given the Administrative Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the
Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender, other than to act without gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

            (e) To the extent any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender is a party
to a Specified Swap Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Loan
Documents and accepts the benefits of the Liens in the Collateral arising
pursuant to the Collateral Documents, such Lender (for itself and on behalf of
any such Affiliates) shall be deemed (i) to appoint Bank of America, N.A., as
its nominee and agent, to act for and on behalf of such Lender or Affiliate
thereof in connection with the Collateral Documents and (ii) to be bound by the
terms of this ARTICLE X.

      10.12 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders.  By
signing this Agreement, each Lender:

            (a) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent
furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field
audit and inventory valuation report (each a "REPORT" and collectively, the
"REPORTS") prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent;

            (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates (i) make any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any
information contained in any Report;

            (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, that the party performing any audit or
examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Company and its
Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon the books and records of the
Company and its Subsidiaries related thereto, as well as on representations of
personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

            (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its
internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any
Report in any other manner; and

                                      -70-
<PAGE>
            (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative
Agent, Bank of America Business Credit, any Agent-Related Person and any Lender
preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or
conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in
connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying
Lender has made or may make to the Company, or the indemnifying Lender's
participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a loan or loans of
the Company; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the
Administrative Agent, any Agent-Related Person and any such other Lender
preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings,
damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred
by the Administrative Agent, any Agent-Related Person and any Lender preparing a
Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain
all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      11.01 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 or any applicable Subsidiary therefrom, shall be

            (g) discharge any Guarantor, or, except as otherwise provided in

                                      -71-
<PAGE>
and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Issuing Bank in addition to the Majority Lenders or
all the Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing
Bank under this Agreement or any L/C-Related Document relating to any Letter of
Credit Issued or to be Issued by it, (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the
Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and (iii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges
thereunder waived, only in a writing executed by the parties thereto.

      11.02 Notices.

            (a) General. All notices, requests, consents, approvals, waivers and
other communications shall be in writing (including, unless the context
expressly otherwise provides, by facsimile transmission, provided that any
matter transmitted by the Company by facsimile (i) shall be immediately
confirmed by a telephone call to the recipient and (ii) shall be followed by
delivery within one (1) Business Day of a hard copy original thereof) and
mailed, faxed or delivered, (x) if to the Company or the Administrative Agent,
to the address or facsimile number specified for notices on SCHEDULE 11.02, and
(y) if to any Lender, to the address for notices specified in the Administrative
Questionnaire furnished by such Lender to the Administrative Agent in connection
with this Agreement; or, in the case of the Company or the Administrative Agent,
to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to the other parties, and in the case of any other party, to such other address
as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Company and the
Administrative Agent.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made
upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the intended recipient and
(ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by the intended
recipient; (B) if delivered by mail, four Business Days after deposit in the
mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has
been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form
of delivery is subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below), when
delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank pursuant to ARTICLE II shall not be
effective until actually received by such Person. Any notice or other
communication permitted to be given, made or confirmed by telephone hereunder
shall be given, made or confirmed by means of a telephone call to the intended
recipient at the number specified in accordance herewith, it being understood
and agreed that a voicemail message shall in no event be effective as a notice,
communication or confirmation hereunder.

            (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan
Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of
any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the
same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a
manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request
or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document
or signature.

            (c) Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and internet and
intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as
financial statements and other information, and to distribute Loan Documents for
execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.

            (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic Notices of Borrowing)

                                      -72-
<PAGE>
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were
not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or
followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.
The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all
losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such
Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All
telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may
be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.

      11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay
in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege.

      11.04 Costs and Expenses.  The Company shall:

            (a) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Bank
within five Business Days after demand (subject to SUBSECTION 5.01(e)) for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank in connection with the development, preparation, delivery,
administration and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification to (in each case, whether or not consummated), this Agreement, any
Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or
therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including Attorney Costs incurred by the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank with respect thereto and including expenses in connection with
field audits and inventory valuations; and

            (b) pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each
Lender within five Business Days after demand for all costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by each of them in connection with the
enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including in connection with
any "workout" or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any
Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding).

      11.05 Indemnity. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold the Agent-Related
Persons, and each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON")
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements
(including Attorney Costs and costs of settlements of any such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments or suits) of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Loans, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the
termination, resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or
replacement of any Lender) 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 the transactions contemplated
hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection
with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation,
litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate
proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or Letters
of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (excluding, however, any action
arising solely among the Lenders in their capacities as Lenders), whether or not
any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"); provided, that the Company shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Indemnified Person

                                      -73-
<PAGE>
with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent same arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in
this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

            (b) (i) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
Indemnified Person, from and against any and all Environmental Claims and
Environmental Damages imposed on or asserted against an Indemnified Person or
any properties of the Company, and any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or
disbursements (including Attorney Costs, the allocated cost of internal
environmental audit or review services, and costs of settlements of any such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments or
suits), which may be incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person in
connection with or arising out of any breach of any covenant by or the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by, the Company or any other
Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No action taken by
legal counsel chosen by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in defending
against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested remedial,
removal or response action shall vitiate or any way impair the Company's
obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative
Agent and each Lender.

            (ii) In no event shall any site visit, observation, or testing by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any contractee of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender) be deemed a representation or warranty that Hazardous
Substances are or are not present in, on, or under, any site, or that there has
been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law. Neither the Company nor
any other Person is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender owes any duty of care to protect the Company or any other Person
against, or to inform the Company or any other party of, any Hazardous
Substances or any other adverse condition affecting any site or property.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to disclose
to the Company or any other Person any report or findings made as a result of,
or in connection with, any site visit, observation, or testing by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. Indemnified Parties hereby reserve the
right, and the Company hereby expressly authorizes any Indemnified Party, to
make available to any party (including any governmental agency or authority) any
and all reports, whether prepared by any Indemnified Party or prepared by the
Company and provided to any Indemnified Party (collectively, "ENVIRONMENTAL
REPORTS") that any Indemnified Party may have with respect to the property owned
or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the extent required in
accordance with any Requirement of Law or by any Governmental Authority.

            (c) THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY CONTAINED IN THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISE OUT OF
OR AS A RESULT OF THE STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ANY
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES' NEGLIGENCE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THOSE CLAIMS WHICH RESULT FROM THE SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT OR
COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR ANY ONE OR MORE OF THEM. The
agreements in this SECTION 11.05 shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

      11.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders exercise their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of
such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent
of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived

                                      -74-
<PAGE>
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

      11.07 Successors and Assigns; Assignments, Participations, etc. (a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions
of PARAGRAPH (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of PARAGRAPH (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of PARAGRAPH
(f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in PARAGRAPH (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

            (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the Loans at the time
owing to it and the L/C Obligations, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender
or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, and L/C Obligations (in each case determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless the
Administrative Agent consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loan, the Commitment or the L/C Obligations
assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Lender's Commitment must be approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank unless the Person that is the proposed
assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment (whether or not the proposed
assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties
to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500.00, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
PARAGRAPH (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with PARAGRAPH (d) of this Section.

                                      -75-
<PAGE>
            (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in listed on SCHEDULE
11.02 hereto a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

            (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice
to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company's Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a "PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of such Lender's
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it and L/C Obligation); provided that
(i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement. Subject to PARAGRAPH (e) of this Section, the
Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
SECTIONS 4.01, 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to PARAGRAPH (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of SECTION 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

            (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under SECTIONS 4.01, 4.03 and 4.04 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 4.01
unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with SECTION
10.10 as though it were a Lender.

            (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

            11.08  Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees to take normal and
reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of
all information identified as "confidential" or "secret" by the Company and
provided to it by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or by the
Administrative Agent on such Company's or Subsidiary's behalf, under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor
any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection
with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in
connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with
the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure
by the Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a

                                      -76-
<PAGE>
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 the
Bank; provided, however, that any Bank may disclose such information (A) at the
request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which
the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any
such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when
required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable
Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any
litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Bank or their
respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document; (F) to such Bank's independent auditors and other professional
advisors; (G) to any Affiliate of such Bank, or to any Participant or Eligible
Assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Affiliate, Participant or
Eligible Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same
extent required of the Banks hereunder; (H) as to any Bank, as expressly
permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding
confidentiality to which the Company is party or is deemed party with such Bank;
and (I) to any nationally recognized rating agency or similar organization that
requires access to information about a Lender's or its Affiliates' investment
portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its
Affiliates.

      11.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by the Company
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the
credit or the account of the Company against any and all Obligations now or
hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or
such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and
although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such
set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

                                      -77-
<PAGE>
      11.10 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with
applicable usury laws; accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or in any of the other Loan Documents
securing the payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this
Agreement, the Notes or such other Loan Documents require the payment or permit
the payment, taking, reserving, receiving, collection, or charging of any sums
constituting interest under applicable laws, if any, which exceed the maximum
amount permitted by such laws. If any such excess interest is called for,
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received in connection with the
Loans evidenced by the Notes or in any of the Loan Documents securing the
payment thereof or otherwise relating thereto, or in any communication by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other person to the Company or any
other person, or in the event all or part of the principal or interest thereof
shall be prepaid or accelerated, so that under any of such circumstances or
under any other circumstance whatsoever the amount of interest contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved, or received on the amount of principal actually
outstanding from time to time under the Notes shall exceed the maximum amount of
interest permitted by applicable usury laws, then in any such event it is agreed
as follows: (i) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (ii)
neither the Company nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for
the payment of the Notes shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest
to the extent such interest is in excess of the maximum amount of interest
permitted by applicable usury laws, (iii) any such excess which is or has been
received notwithstanding this paragraph shall be credited against the then
unpaid principal balance of the Notes or, if the Notes have been or would be
paid in full, refunded to the Company, and (iv) the provisions of this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents securing the payment hereof
and otherwise relating hereto, and any communication to the Company, shall
immediately be deemed reformed and such excess interest reduced, without the
necessity of executing any other document, to the maximum lawful rate allowed
under applicable laws as now or hereafter construed by courts having
jurisdiction hereof or thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, all calculations
of the rate of the interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or
received in connection with the Notes or this Agreement which are made for the
purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate shall
be made to the extent permitted by applicable laws by amortizing, prorating,
allocating and spreading during the period of the full term of the Loans,
including all prior and subsequent renewals and extensions, all interest at any
time contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received. The terms of this
paragraph shall be deemed to be incorporated in every document and communication
relating to the Notes, the Loans or any other Loan Document.

      11.11 Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of
indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law, the
Company agrees that in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under
a Guaranty in respect of a Loan to the Company, the Company shall indemnify such
Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made
to the extent of such payment subject to the provisions of the Guaranty executed
by such Guarantor. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under this SECTION 11.11 and all other
rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or
otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the
Obligations, and no payments may be made in respect of such rights of indemnity,
contribution or subrogation until all the Obligations have been paid in full,
all Commitments have expired and all Letters of Credit have expired. No failure
on the part of the Company to make the payments required by this Section (or any
other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect
limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to any
Guaranty, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the
obligation of such Guarantor under each such Guaranty in accordance therewith.

      11.12 Automatic Debits of Fees. With respect to any commitment fee,
arrangement fee, letter of credit fee or other fee, or any other cost or expense
(including Attorney Costs) due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, Bank of America or the Arranger under the Loan Documents, the

                                      -78-
<PAGE>
Company hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank of America, after giving reasonable
prior notice to the Company, to debit any deposit account of the Company with
Bank of America in an amount such that the aggregate amount debited from all
such deposit accounts does not exceed such fee or other cost or expense. If
there are insufficient funds in such deposit accounts to cover the amount of the
