                  Section 2.2.  Procedure for Bid Loans.

                  (a)      Bid Loan Request. Whenever the Company desires to
         incur a competitive bid borrowing (a "Bid Borrowing"), it shall give
         the Agent written notice (or telephonic notice

                                Credit Agreement

                                      -12-

promptly confirmed in writing), such notice to be delivered to the Agent at its
Notice Office no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three
Business Days prior to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan and at least one Business
Day prior to any proposed Absolute Rate Loan. Each such notice shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a "Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing"), and shall specify in each case (i) the date of such proposed Bid
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the
proposed Bid Borrowing, (iii) whether the proposed Bid Borrowing is to be an
Absolute Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and the Loan Period, (iv) the maturity
date for repayment of each Bid Loan to be made as part of such borrowing (which
maturity date shall not be earlier than one month after the date of any proposed
LIBOR Rate Loan or 14 days after the date of any proposed Absolute Rate Loan or
later than the earliest to occur of (x) six months after the date of such
proposed Bid Loan, (y) the Termination Date and (z) if the proposed Bid Loan has
an interest rate that is the LIBOR Rate, the last day of the proposed Loan
Period), (v) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, (vi) the
account to which the proceeds of such Bid Borrowing are to be credited and (vii)
any other terms to be applicable to such Bid Borrowing. The Agent shall promptly
give each Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of each such request for a Bid Borrowing received by it from the
Company. Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall contemplate Bid Loans in
a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral
multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed, however, the excess of the then Aggregate
Commitment over the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans,
calculated as of the relevant Funding Date, assuming that the Company will pay,
when due, all Loans maturing on or prior to such Funding Date (the "Available
Commitment").

                  (b)      Bidding Procedure. Each Bank shall, if in its sole
discretion it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans
to the Company as part of such proposed Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of
interest specified by such Bank in its sole discretion and determined by such
Bank independently of each other Bank, by notifying by telephone confirmed in
writing to the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Company), before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date (the
"Submission Deadline") that is (x) in the case of a proposed Absolute Rate Loan,
the same day as the date of such proposed Bid Loan and (y) in the case of a
proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, two Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid
Loan. Each Bid shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each a "Bid"),
and shall specify in each case (i) the Loan Period, (ii) the minimum amount and
maximum amount of each Bid Loan that such Bank would be willing to make as part
of such proposed Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso in
Section 2.1, exceed such Bank's Commitment), (iii) the rate or rates of interest
therefor and (iv) such Bank's lending office with respect to such Bid Loan;
provided, that if the Agent in its capacity as a Bank shall, in its sole
discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Company of such
offer before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Submission Deadline.

                  (c)      Acceptance of Bids. The Company shall, in turn,
before 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Submission Deadline, either:

                  (i)      cancel such proposed Bid Borrowing by giving the
         Agent notice to that effect, or

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -13-

                  (ii)     accept (such acceptance to be irrevocable) one or
         more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (b)
         above by giving notice (in writing or by telephone confirmed in
         writing) to the Agent of the amount of each Bid Loan (which amount
         shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or
         less than the maximum amount, notified to the Company by the Agent on
         behalf of such Bank for such Bid Borrowing pursuant to clause (b)
         above) to be made by such Bank as part of such Bid Borrowing, and
         reject any remaining offers made by any Bank pursuant to clause (b)
         above by giving the Agent notice to that effect; provided, that for any
         maturity date acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of
         ascending Absolute Rates (in the case of an Absolute Rate Loan) or
         floating rates (in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan), in each case
         commencing with the lowest rate so offered and only as to offers made
         in conformity with the terms hereof; provided, further, however, if
         offers are made by two or more Banks at the same rate or rates and
         acceptance of all such equal offers would result in a greater principal
         amount of Bid Loans being accepted than the aggregate principal amount
         requested by the Company, the Company shall have the right to accept
         one or more of such equal offers in their entirety and reject the other
         equal offer or offers or to allocate acceptance among all such equal
         offers (but giving effect to the minimum and maximum amounts specified
         for each such offer pursuant to clause (b) above), as the Company may
         elect in its sole discretion. The Company may not accept offers whose
         aggregate principal amount is greater than the requested aggregate
         amount as specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing,
         subject to the proviso in Section 2.1.

                  (d)      Cancellation of Bid Borrowing. If the Company
notifies the Agent that such proposed Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to
clause (c)(i) above, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks and
such Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

                  (e)      Notification of Acceptance. If the Company accepts
one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (c)(ii)
above, the Agent shall in turn promptly notify (x) each Bank that has made an
offer as described in clause (b) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such
Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bank pursuant
to clause (b) above have been accepted by the Company and (y) each Bank that is
to make a Bid Loan as part of such Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Bid Loan
to be made by such Bank as part of such Bid Borrowing.

                  (f)      Reliance. The Agent may rely and act upon notice
given by telephone by individuals reasonably believed by the Agent to be those
designated to the Agent by the Company or by any Bank in writing from time to
time, without waiting for receipt of written confirmation thereof, and the
Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against
any and all losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims, actions or other
proceedings relating to such reliance.

                  Section 2.3. Funding of Bid Loans. No later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the date specified in each Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing, each Bank will make available the Bid Loan, if any, to be made by
such Bank as part of the Bid Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the
manner provided below. All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in
Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Agent and
the

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -14-

Agent promptly will make available to the Company at its account specified in
the relevant Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts so
made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Agent shall have been
notified by any Bank which has submitted a bid pursuant to Section 2.2(b) prior
to the date of the proposed Bid Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make
available to the Agent its portion, if any, of the Bid Borrowing to be made on
such date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to
the Agent on such date of the Bid Borrowing, and the Agent, in reliance upon
such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do
so) make available to the Company a corresponding amount.

                  SECTION 3.  COMMITTED LOANS AND NOTES.

                  Section 3.1. Agreement to Make Committed Loans. On the terms
and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for
itself alone, agrees to make Loans (herein collectively called "Committed Loans"
and individually each called a "Committed Loan") on a revolving basis from time
to time from the date hereof until such Bank's Termination Date in such Bank's
Percentage of such aggregate amounts as the Company may from time to time
request as provided in Section 3.2; provided, that (a) the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of any Bank shall not at any time
exceed the amount set forth opposite such Bank's name on Schedule I (as reduced
in accordance with Section 5.1, Section 13.4 or Section 13.8) and (b) the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of all Banks plus
the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Loans of all Banks shall
not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment. Within the limits of this
Section 3.1, the Company may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow
Committed Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

                  Section 3.2.  Procedure for Committed Loans.

                  (a)      Committed Loan Requests. The Company shall give the
Agent irrevocable telephonic notice at the Notice Office (promptly confirmed in
writing on the same day), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, (i) at
least three Business Days prior to the Funding Date in the case of LIBOR Rate
Loans or (ii) on the Funding Date in the case of Base Rate Loans, of each
requested Committed Loan, and the Agent shall promptly advise each Bank thereof
and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, if the Telerate Page is not available,
request each Reference Bank to notify the Agent of its applicable rate (as
contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). Each such notice to the Agent (a
"Committed Loan Request") shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C and
shall specify (i) the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Loans requested (in an amount permitted under clause (b)
below), (iii) whether each Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan
and (iv) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Loan Period therefor (subject to the
limitations set forth in the definition of Loan Period).

                  (b)      Amount and Increments of Committed Loans. Each
Committed Loan Request shall contemplate Committed Loans in a minimum aggregate
amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed
in the aggregate (for all requested Committed Loans) the Available Commitment.

                  (c)      Funding of Committed Loans.

                  (i)      Not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
Funding Date of a Committed Loan, each Bank shall, subject to this Section
3.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with immediately available funds
covering such Bank's Committed Loan (provided, that a Bank's obligation to
provide funds to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by such Bank's delivery to
the Agent at its Notice Office not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, of
a Federal reserve wire confirmation number covering the proceeds of such Bank's
Committed Loan) and the Agent shall pay over such funds to the Company not later
than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day if the Agent shall have received
the documents required under Section 10 with respect to such Loan and the other
conditions precedent to the making of such Loan shall have been satisfied not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day. If the Agent does not
receive such documents or such other conditions precedent have not been
satisfied prior to such time, then (A) the Agent shall not pay over such funds
to the Company, (B) the Company's Committed Loan Request related to such Loan
shall be deemed cancelled in its entirety, (C) in the case of Committed Loan
Requests relative to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Company shall be liable to each Bank
in accordance with Section 7.4(a) and (D) the Agent shall return the amount
previously provided to the Agent by each Bank on the next following Business
Day.

                  (ii)     The Company agrees, notwithstanding its previous
delivery of any documents required under Section 10 with respect to a particular
Loan, immediately to notify the Agent of any failure by it to satisfy the
conditions precedent to the making of such Loan. The Agent shall be entitled to
assume, after it has received each of the documents required under Section 10
with respect to a particular Loan, that each of the conditions precedent to the
making of such Loan has been satisfied absent actual knowledge to the contrary
received by the Agent prior to the time of the receipt of such documents. Unless
the Agent shall have notified the Banks prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time,
on the Funding Date of any Loan that the Agent has actual knowledge that the
conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have not been satisfied, the
Banks shall be entitled to assume that such conditions precedent have been
satisfied.

                  (d)      Repayment of Loans. If any Bank is to make a
Committed Loan hereunder on a day on which the Company is to repay (or has
elected to prepay, pursuant to Section 5.2) all or any part of any outstanding
Loan held by such Bank, the proceeds of such new Committed Loan shall be applied
to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the positive difference, if
any, between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be
requested by the Agent to be made available by such Bank to the Agent as
provided in Section 3.2(c).

                  Section 3.3. Maturity of Committed Loans. Except for a Base
Rate Loan, which shall mature on the Termination Date (or the date contemplated
by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect), a Committed Loan made by a
Bank shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period applicable to such
Committed Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Bank
(or the date contemplated by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect).

                  SECTION 4.  INTEREST AND FEES.

                  Section 4.1. Interest Rates. The Company hereby promises to
pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period
commencing on the Funding Date for such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, as
follows:

                  (a)      if such Loan is a Bid Loan, at a rate per annum equal
to the Absolute Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, offered by the applicable
Bank and accepted by the Company for such Bid Loan;

                  (b)      if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

                  (c)      if such Loan is a Committed Loan that is a LIBOR Rate
Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period
for such Loan; provided, however, that after the maturity of any Loan (whether
by acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to the Base Rate from
time to time in effect (but not less than the interest rate in effect for such
Loan immediately prior to maturity) plus 1% per annum.

                  Section 4.2. Interest Payment Dates. Except for Base Rate
Loans, as to which accrued interest shall be payable on the last day of each
calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or the date contemplated by
Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect), accrued interest on each Loan
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Loan Period therefor and (i)
with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the
day that is three months after the first day of such Loan Period (or, if there
is no day in such third month numerically corresponding to such first day of the
Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month) and (ii) with respect to
each Absolute Rate Loan with a Loan Period exceeding 90 days, on the day that is
90 days after the first day of such Loan Period. After the maturity of any Loan,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on demand. If any interest
payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment
date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and the interest
paid shall cover the period of postponement (except that if the Loan is a LIBOR
Rate Loan and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day).

                  Section 4.3. Setting and Notice of Committed Loan Rates. The
applicable interest rate for each Committed Loan hereunder shall be determined
by the Agent and notice thereof shall be given by the Agent promptly to the
Company and to each Bank. Each determination of the applicable interest rate by
the Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence
of demonstrable error.

                  In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, each Reference Bank agrees to
use its best efforts to notify the Agent in a timely fashion of its applicable
rate after the Agent's request (if any) therefor under Section 2.2(a) and
Section 3.2(a) (as contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). If as to any Loan
Period the Telerate Page is not available and any one or more of the Reference
Banks is unable or for any reason fails to notify the Agent of its applicable
rate by

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -17-

11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then
the applicable LIBOR Rate shall be determined on the basis of the rate or rates
of which the Agent is given notice by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks by
such time. If the Telerate Page is not available and none of the Reference Banks
notifies the Agent of the applicable rate prior to 11:30 a.m., New York City
time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then (i) the Agent shall
promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) at the option of the Company
the Committed Loan Request delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(a)
with respect to such Funding Date shall be cancelled or shall be deemed to have
specified a Base Rate Loan.

                  The Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any
Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations
used by the Agent in determining the interest rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate
Loan.

                  Section 4.4. Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the
Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective
Percentages an annual facility fee computed by multiplying the average daily
amount of the Aggregate Commitment (whether used or unused) by the applicable
percentage determined with respect to such facility fee in accordance with
Schedule II hereto. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with
the last Business Day of December, 2003) until the Commitments have expired or
have been terminated and on the date of such expiration or termination (and, in
the case of any Terminating Bank, such Bank's Termination Date), in each case
for the period then ending for which such facility fee has not previously been
paid.

                  Section 4.5. Utilization Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the
Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective
Percentages, (i) during any period that the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans exceeds 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitment, a utilization
fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the Aggregate Commitment
by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such utilization fee in
accordance with Schedule II hereto and (ii) during any period that the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds 66.66% of the Aggregate
Commitment, a utilization fee in addition to the utilization fees accruing
pursuant to clause (i) above computed by multiplying the average daily amount of
the Aggregate Commitment by the applicable percentage determined with respect to
such utilization fee in accordance with Schedule II hereto; provided, that if
the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans exceeds an amount
equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then in effect, then in
calculating the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans for purposes
of this Section 4.5 only, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans
shall not include an amount equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then
in effect. Accrued utilization fees shall be due and payable on each date that
interest is payable on each such Loan.

                  Section 4.6. Agent's Fees. The Company agrees promptly to pay
to the Agent such fees as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the
Agent.

                  Section 4.7. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on
LIBOR Rate Loans, and facility and utilization fees shall be computed for the
actual number of days elapsed on the

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -18-

basis of a 360-day year; and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed for
the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as the
case may be. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate
Loan, and (to the extent applicable) after the maturity of any other type of
Loan, the interest rate applicable to such Loan, shall change simultaneously
with each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.

                  SECTION 5. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS;
                             REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

                  Section 5.1. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the
Commitments. The Company may at any time on at least 5 days' prior irrevocable
notice received by the Agent (which shall promptly on the same day or on the
next Business Day advise each Bank thereof) permanently reduce the amount of the
Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata among the Banks according to their
respective Percentages) to an amount not less than the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Loans. Any such reduction shall be in the amount of
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Concurrently
with any such reduction, the Company shall prepay the principal of any Committed
Loans outstanding to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Loans
outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as so reduced. The
Company may from time to time on like irrevocable notice terminate the
Commitments upon payment in full of all Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all
fees and all other obligations of the Company hereunder; provided, however, that
the Company may not at any time terminate the Commitments if any Bid Loan is
outstanding (unless the holder of each such outstanding Bid Loan has given its
prior written consent to the concurrent repayment of such Bid Loan).

                  Section 5.2. Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may
voluntarily prepay Loans (other than Bid Loans, which may only be prepaid with
the prior written consent of the holder thereof) without premium or penalty,
except as may be required pursuant to subsection (e) below, in whole or in part;
provided, that (a) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) except
for the prepayment of the aggregate amount of all Loans outstanding, no such
prepayment shall result in there being less than $10,000,000 in Loans
outstanding in the aggregate, (c) the Company shall give the Agent at its Notice
Office (which shall promptly advise each Bank) not less than three Business
Days' prior notice thereof specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and
amount of prepayment, (d) any prepayment of principal of any Loan shall include
accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid
and (e) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 7.4.

                  Section 5.3. Term-Out Option. The Company may, by notice to
the Agent not less than 10 days prior to the then-effective Termination Date,
subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 5.3, elect to convert
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Committed Loans of each Bank
as of such then-effective Termination Date to a term loan of such Bank in said
amount (herein collectively called "Term Loans" and individually each called a
"Term Loan"). Each Term Loan shall bear interest, from and including such
then-effective Termination Date until the payment thereof in full, at a rate per
annum equal to (x) in the case such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate
from time to time in effect and (y) in the case such Term Loan is a LIBOR Rate
Loan, the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -19-

such Term Loan, and in each case shall otherwise constitute a Committed Loan for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Company agrees to repay to the Agent for
account of the Banks the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans on the date
364 days after such then-effective Termination Date or, if such date is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day (and any outstanding
Committed Note shall be deemed amended accordingly). Once repaid or prepaid
(other than as contemplated by Section 3.2(d)), Term Loans cannot be reborrowed.
Anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, any such
conversion shall be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) no Unmatured
Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
such then-effective Termination Date and (ii) the representations and warranties
made by the Company in Section 8 shall be true on and as of such then-effective
Termination Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such
date. Each notice of conversion delivered by the Company in accordance with this
Section 5.3 shall constitute a certification by the Company to the effect set
forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of such notice and, unless
the Company, after delivery of such notice, otherwise notifies the Agent prior
to such then-effective Termination Date, as of such date). Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, facility fees contemplated by
Section 4.4 and utilization fees contemplated by Section 4.5 shall cease to
accrue after the effectiveness of the Term-Out Option.

                  SECTION 6.  MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SET-OFF; TAXES.

                  Section 6.1. Making of Payments. Except as provided in Section
3.2(d), payments (including those made pursuant to Section 5.1) of principal of,
or interest on, the Loans and all payments of fees shall be made by the Company
to the Agent in immediately available funds at its Payment Office not later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date due; and funds received after that
hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next following
Business Day. The Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of
each such payment. All payments under Section 7 shall be made by the Company
directly to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  Section 6.2.  Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.

                  (a)      Except as required pursuant to Section 7 or Section
13.8, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Committed Loans, each
payment of interest on the Committed Loans, and each payment of the facility fee
shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective
Percentages. Each payment of principal of any Bid Borrowing shall be allocated
pro rata among the Banks participating in such Bid Borrowing in accordance with
the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Bid Loans comprising such
Bid Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Bid Borrowing shall be allocated
pro rata among the Banks participating in such Bid Borrowing in accordance with
the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Bid
Loans comprising such Bid Borrowing.

                  (b)      If any Bank or other holder of a Committed Loan shall
obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of, interest on or
fees or other amounts with respect to any Committed Loan in

                                Credit Agreement

                                      -20-

excess of the share of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or
recoveries under Section 7 or pursuant to Section 13.8) such Bank or other
holder would have received if such payment had been distributed pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.2(a), such Bank or other holder shall purchase from the
other Banks or holders, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such
participations in the Committed Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that
all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Committed Loans
shall be shared by the Banks and other holders pro rata in accordance with their
respective Percentages; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the
excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

                  (c)      If any Bank or other holder of a Bid Loan shall
obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of, interest on or
fees or other amounts with respect to any Bid Loan in excess of the share of
payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries pursuant to
Section 7 or Section 13.8) such Bank or other holder would have received if such
payment had been distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2(a), such
Bank or other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or holders
participating in such Bid Borrowing, in a manner to be specified by the Agent,
such participations in the Bid Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that
all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Bid Loans shall
be shared by the Banks and other holders participating in such Bid Borrowing in
a manner consistent with Section 6.2(a); provided, however, that if all or any
portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

                  Section 6.3. Set-off. The Company agrees that the Agent, each
Bank, each Assignee and each Participant has all rights of set-off and bankers'
lien provided by applicable law, and the Company further agrees that at any time
(i) any amount owing by the Company under this Agreement is due to any such
Person or (ii) any Event of Default exists, each such Person may apply to the
payment of any amount payable hereunder any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with such Person.

                  Section 6.4. Taxes, etc. (a) All payments made by the Company
to the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant under this Agreement and
the Notes shall be made without any set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear
of and without deduction for or on account of any present or future Covered
Taxes now or hereafter imposed (except to the extent that such withholding or
deduction (x) is compelled by law, (y) results from the breach, by the recipient
of a payment, of its agreement contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or
Section 6.4(e) or (z) would not be required if the representation or warranty
contained in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the date of
this Agreement, or with respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank pursuant to
Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section 13.8, true at the time such Bank
becomes a Bank hereunder). If the Company is compelled by law to make any such
deductions or withholdings of any Covered Taxes it will:

                  (i)      pay to the relevant authorities the full amount
         required to be so withheld or deducted,

<PAGE>

                                      -21-

                  (ii)     except to the extent that such withholding or
         deduction results from the breach by the recipient of its agreement
         contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or Section 6.4(e) or, if
         applicable, would not be required if the representation or warranty
         contained in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the
         date of this Agreement, or with respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank
         pursuant to Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section 13.8, true at the
         time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, pay such additional amounts as
         may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Agent,
         each Bank, each Assignee and each Participant after such deductions or
         withholdings (including any required deduction or withholding on such
         additional amounts) shall equal the amount such payee would have
         received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and

                  (iii)    promptly forward to the Agent (for delivery to such
         payee) an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the
         Agent evidencing such payment to such authorities.

                  Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against
the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant, such payee may pay such
Covered Taxes, and, upon receipt of an official receipt or other satisfactory
documentation evidencing such payment, the Company shall promptly pay such
additional amount (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or
reasonable expenses) as may be necessary in order that the net amount received
by such payee after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered
Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payee would have
received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted (provided, that the Agent, the
Banks, and any Assignee or Participant shall use reasonable efforts, to the
extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the
extent possible any such Covered Taxes if they can do so without material cost
or legal or regulatory disadvantage). For purposes of this Section 6.4, a
distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any
Bank, Assignee or Participant shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company.
The Company's agreement under this Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

                  (b)      In consideration of, and as a condition to, the
Company's undertakings in Section 6.4(a), each Bank other than a Bank that is
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any
State thereof (a "Non-U.S. Bank") agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at
its Payment Office for delivery to the Company, before the first scheduled
payment date in each year, (i) to the extent it acts for its own account with
respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-U.S. Bank under
this Agreement, two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or any successor forms), as appropriate,
properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, and claiming
complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal
Taxes, and (ii) to the extent it does not act or has ceased to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Bank
under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a typical Participation by
such Non-U.S. Bank), (1) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with
respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank acts for its own account, two original
copies

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -22-

of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Non-U.S. Bank under
subsection (i) of this Section 6.4(b), properly completed and duly executed by
such Non-U.S. Bank and claiming complete exemption from withholding and
deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (2) for the portion of any such
sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank does not act or
has ceased to act for its own account, two original copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any
information, if any, such Non-U.S. Bank chooses to transmit with such form, and
any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal
Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder. Each Bank hereby (i)
represents and warrants to the Company that, at the date of this Agreement, or
at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, it is entitled to receive
payments of principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on account
of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political
subdivision thereof, and (ii) acknowledges that in the event that after the date
of this Agreement or after the date that a Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, such
Bank is no longer entitled to receive payments or principal and interest
hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United
States of America or any political subdivision thereof, such Bank will be
subject to removal pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof.

                  (c)      Each Non-U.S. Bank hereby agrees, from time to time
after the initial delivery by such Non-U.S. Bank of any forms or other
information pursuant to Section 6.4(b), whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Non-U.S. Bank shall
promptly (and in all events, prior to the next applicable payment date), deliver
to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the Company two original
copies of any renewal, amendment or additional or successor forms, properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any other
certificate or statement of exemption required by applicable law or regulation
in order to (i) confirm or establish such Non-U.S. Bank's complete exemption
from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to
payments to such Bank under this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a change in
law after the date on which such Non-U.S. Bank became a Bank hereunder that
results in a withholding or deduction of United States Federal Taxes on payments
hereunder to such Non-U.S. Bank, establish the status of such Non-U.S. Bank as
other than a United States person for United States Federal tax purposes and, to
the extent entitled under an applicable treaty or other law, claim the benefit
of a reduced rate of withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes
with respect to any such payments under an applicable tax treaty of the United
States, or (iii) if applicable, confirm or establish that such Non-U.S. Bank
does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such
payments.

                  (d)      If the Company determines in good faith that a
reasonable basis exists for contesting a Covered Tax with respect to which the
Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4, the Agent and the
Banks, as applicable, shall, subject to Section 6.4(f), cooperate with the
Company in challenging such Covered Tax at the Company's expense if requested by
the Company (it being understood and agreed that neither the Agent nor any Bank
shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any
Tax). If the Agent or a Bank has actual knowledge that it is entitled to receive
a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset
to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing

                                Credit Agreement

                                      -23-

authority) in respect of a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has
paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4, it shall promptly notify the
Company of the availability of such refund (unless it was made aware of such
refund by the Company) and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request
from the Company, apply for such refund at the Company's expense. If the Agent
or any Bank receives a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly
identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing
authority) of any Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an
additional amount under this Section 6.4 which, in the reasonable good faith
judgment of the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is allocable to such
payment made under this Section 6.4, the amount of such refund (together with
any interest received thereon) shall be paid to the Company, but only to the
extent of the additional amounts received from the Company, provided that, in
the case of a Covered Tax the Company was required to deduct and withhold under
this Section 6.4, the Company deducted and withheld such Covered Tax in full as
and when required pursuant to this Section 6.4, provided further, that if such
refund subsequently becomes unavailable or must be returned, this will be
treated as a Covered Tax indemnifiable under this Section 6.4.

                  (e)      Each Bank that is organized and existing under the
laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a "U.S. Bank") agrees
to execute and deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the
Company, on or before the date of this Agreement or on or before the date such
Bank becomes a Bank hereunder and on or before the date on which such Bank
ceases to act for its own account with respect to the applicable portion of any
sums paid or payable to such U.S. Bank and before the first scheduled payment
date in each subsequent year a copy of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such
U.S. Bank, and claiming that it is organized and existing under the laws of the
United States of America or any State thereof.

                  (f)      Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall require
any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

                  (g)      Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof,
which will entitle such Bank to receipt of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 6.4 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation
will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such amounts and will not, in
such Bank's sole discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

                  SECTION 7.  INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR
                              ABSOLUTE RATE LOANS AND LIBOR RATE LOANS.

                  Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein,
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any
Funding Office of such Bank) with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency,

                                      -24-

                  (A)      shall subject any Bank (or any Funding Office of such
         Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate
         Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall
         change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or any Funding
         Office of such Bank) of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Rate
         Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its
         LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for
         changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or
         its Funding Office imposed by any Governmental Authority of the country
         in which such Bank is incorporated or in which such Bank's Funding
         Office is located);

                  (B)      shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
         (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of
         Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve
         included in the determination of additional interest pursuant to
         Section 4.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for
         insurance of deposits) or similar requirement against assets of,
         deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank
         (or any Funding Office of such Bank); or

                  (C)      shall impose on any Bank (or any Funding Office of
         such Bank) any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its
         Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose
an additional cost on) such Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of making
or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such Bank (or such Bank's Funding Office) under this Agreement
or under its Notes with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by
such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the
basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased
cost or such reduction (without duplication of any amounts which have been paid
or reimbursed).

                  (b)      If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall determine
that the adoption, effectiveness or phase-in of any applicable law, rule,
guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such
Bank or any Person controlling such Bank) with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or any Person
controlling such Bank as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but
for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's
or such controlling Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then,
from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall
be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the
Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction.

                                     -25-

                  (c)      Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof,
which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1 and
will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such
Bank's sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

                  Section 7.2. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If with respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

                  (a)      the Telerate Page is not available and the Agent is
         advised by two or more Reference Banks that deposits in Dollars (in the
         applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Reference Banks in
         the relevant market for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise
         determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all
         parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR market,
         adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
         applicable LIBOR Rate; or

                  (b)      the Required Banks advise the Agent that the LIBOR
         Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect
         the cost to such Required Banks of maintaining or funding LIBOR Rate
         Loans for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate
         Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after
         the date of this Agreement which in such Required Banks' opinion
         materially affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so
long as such circumstances shall continue, no Bank shall be under any obligation
to make any LIBOR Rate Loan.

                  Section 7.3. Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful.
In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable
laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations
by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the
administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such
Bank raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Bank to
make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Bank shall promptly
notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such
event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue, the obligation of such
Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any request by the Company
for LIBOR Rate Loans shall, as to such Bank, be deemed to be a request for a
Base Rate Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Committed Loan, or an Absolute Rate
Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Bid Loan and (c) on the last day of the
current Loan Period for such Bank's LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in any event, if such
Bank so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law,
regulation or interpretation) such Bank's Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall
cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at
a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a
Committed Loan, or at an Absolute Rate, which Absolute Rate shall be the LIBOR
Rate in effect during such Loan Period, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Bid Loan.
If at any time the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer exist,
then such Bank shall

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -26-

promptly notify the Company and the Agent.

                  Section 7.4. Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that
upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the
Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank
may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate
Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or
mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including, without limitation, any payment
pursuant to Section 7.3 or any payment resulting from acceleration) of any LIBOR
Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day
of the Loan Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow any
Loans on the originally scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to
this Agreement (including, without limitation, any failure to borrow resulting
from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to such borrowing). For
this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all acceptances of Bids) shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

                  Section 7.5. Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to
Section 7.1(c)), each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of
all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood,
however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder
shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate
Loan or Absolute Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such Loan through the
purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and
bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such Loan for such Loan
Period.

                  Section 7.6. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of
Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Section 7
shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each Bank may use reasonable
averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation pursuant to
Section 7.1 or 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive termination
of this Agreement and payment of the Loans.

                  SECTION 8.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  To induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to make
Loans hereunder, the Company hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to the Agent and the Banks, which representations and warranties
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the
disbursement of the initial Loans hereunder:

                  Section 8.1. Organization, etc. The Company is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of California; each corporate Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation; each other Subsidiary (if any) is an entity duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and
each of the Company and each Subsidiary has the power to own its property and to
carry on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified and in good
standing as a foreign corporation or other

entity authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the
nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except
where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  Section 8.2. Authorization; Consents; No Conflict. The

         date of such requested Loan, with the same effect as though made on the

         shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty by the
         Company that, as at the requested date of such Loan, (x) all conditions
         under this Section 10.1.1 shall be satisfied and (y) after the making

         364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2002, among
         the Company, the Agent and the banks named therein, and such agreement
         shall have been terminated and be of no further force and effect,
         evidence of which shall have been made available to the Agent.

                  SECTION 11.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND THEIR EFFECT.

                  Section 11.1. Events of Default. Each of the following shall
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

                  11.1.1.  Non-Payment of the Loans, etc. Default in the payment
         when due of any principal of any Loan or default and continuance
         thereof for three Business Days, in the payment when due of any
         interest on any Loan, any fees or any other amounts payable by the
         Company hereunder.

                  11.1.2.  Non-Payment of Other Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.
         Default in the payment when due (subject to any applicable grace
         period), whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any principal of,
         interest on or fees incurred in connection with any other Indebtedness
         of, or Guaranteed by, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (except
         (i) any such Indebtedness of any Subsidiary to the Company or to any
         other Subsidiary and (ii) any Indebtedness hereunder) and, if a default
         in the payment of interest or fees, continuance of such default for
         five days, in the case of interest, or 30 days, in the case of fees, or
         default in the performance or observance of any obligation or condition
         with respect to any such other Indebtedness if the effect of such
         default (subject to any applicable grace period) is to accelerate the
         maturity of any such Indebtedness or to permit the holder or holders
         thereof, or any trustee or agent for such holders, to cause such
         Indebtedness to become due and payable prior to its expressed maturity;
         provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all
         Indebtedness as to which there has occurred any default as described
         above shall equal or exceed $50,000,000.

                  11.1.3.  Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc. The Company or any
         Significant Subsidiary becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or
         admits in writing its inability or refusal to pay, debts as they become
         due; or the Company or any Significant Subsidiary applies for, consents
         to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other
         custodian for the Company or such Significant Subsidiary or any
         property thereof, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of
         creditors; or, in the absence of such application, consent or
         acquiescence, a trustee, receiver or other custodian is appointed for
         the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for a substantial part of
         the property of any thereof and is not discharged within 60 days; or
         any warrant of attachment or similar legal process is issued against
         any substantial part of the property of the Company or any of its
         Significant Subsidiaries which is not released within 60 days of
         service; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other
         case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any
         dissolution or liquidation proceeding (except the voluntary
         dissolution, not under any bankruptcy or

                                      -38-

         of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and, if such case or
         proceeding is not commenced by the Company or such Significant
         Subsidiary it is consented to or acquiesced in by the Company or such
         Significant Subsidiary or remains for 60 days undismissed; or the
         Company or any Significant Subsidiary takes any corporate action to
         authorize, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing.

                  11.1.4.  Non-Compliance with this Agreement. Failure by the
         Company to comply with or to perform any of the Company's covenants
         herein or any other provision of this Agreement (and not constituting
         an Event of Default under any of the other provisions of this Section
         11.1) and continuance of such failure for 60 days (or, if the Company
         failed to give notice of such noncompliance or nonperformance pursuant
         to Section 9.1.4 within one Business Day after obtaining actual
         knowledge thereof, 60 days less the number of days elapsed between the
         date the Company obtained such actual knowledge and the date the
         Company gives the notice pursuant to Section 9.1.4, but in no event
         less than one Business Day) after notice thereof to the Company from
         the Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Note.

                  11.1.5.  Representations and Warranties. Any representation or
         warranty made by the Company herein is untrue or misleading in any
         material respect when made or deemed made; or any schedule, statement,
         report, notice, or other writing furnished by the Company to the Agent
         or any Bank is false or misleading in any material respect on the date
         as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified; or any
         certification made or deemed made by the Company to the Agent or any
         Bank is untrue or misleading in any material respect on or as of the
         date made or deemed made.

                  11.1.6.  Employee Benefit Plans. The occurrence of any of the
         following events, provided that such event would reasonably be expected
         to require payment by the Company or a Subsidiary of an amount in
         excess of $10,000,000: (i) the institution by the Company or any ERISA
         Affiliate of steps to terminate any Plan, (ii) the institution by the
         PBGC of steps to terminate any Plan; or (iii) a contribution failure
         occurs with respect to a Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under
         Section 302(f) of ERISA securing an amount in excess of $10,000,000.

                  11.1.7.  Litigation. There shall be entered against the
         Company or any Subsidiary one or more judgments or decrees in excess of
         $50,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding for the
         Company and all Subsidiaries and all such judgments or decrees shall
         not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal
         within 60 days from the entry thereof, excluding those judgments or
         decrees for and to the extent to which the Company or any Subsidiary
         (i) is insured and with respect to which the insurer has not denied
         coverage in writing or (ii) is otherwise indemnified if the terms of
         such indemnification are satisfactory to the Required Banks.

                  11.1.8.  Change of Ownership. AIG shall cease to own
         beneficially, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of all of the
         outstanding shares of the common stock of the

                                Credit Agreement

                                      -39-

         Company.

                  Section 11.2. Effect of Event of Default. If any Event of
Default described in Section 11.1.3 shall occur, the Commitments (if they have
not theretofore terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and all
interest and other amounts due hereunder shall become immediately due and
payable, all without presentment, demand or notice of any kind; and, in the case
of any other Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon written request of the
Required Banks shall, declare the Commitments (if they have not theretofore
terminated) to be terminated and all Loans and all interest and other amounts
due hereunder to be due and payable, whereupon the Commitments (if they have not
theretofore terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and all
interest and other amounts due hereunder shall become immediately due and
payable, all without presentment, demand or notice of any kind. The Agent shall
promptly advise the Company and each Bank of any such declaration, but failure
to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration.

                  SECTION 12.  THE AGENT.

                  Section 12.1. Authorization. Each Bank and the holder of each
Loan or interest therein authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Bank or
holder to the extent provided herein and in any other document or instrument
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and to take such other action as
may be reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3,
the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in
connection with this Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required
Banks or if required under Section 13.1, all of the Banks. The Agent shall
promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Bank or other holder its
share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Bank or
holder, and shall promptly transmit to each Bank (or share with each Bank the
contents of) each notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this
Agreement.

                  Section 12.2. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify
the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company),
ratably according to their respective Percentages, from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses
which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the
repayment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent
of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities,
damages and expenses resulting from the Agent's or its employees' or agents'
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, subject
to Section 13.5 each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for
its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred by the Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation,
execution or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto
or thereto to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by
the Company. All obligations provided for in this Section 12.2 shall survive
repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this
Agreement.

                                      -40-

                  Section 12.3. Action on Instructions of the Required Banks. As
to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agent shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the
written instructions from (i) the Required Banks, except for instructions which
under the express provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Banks
and (ii) in the case of such instructions, from all Banks. In no event will the
Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The
relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and
principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the
Agent a trustee for any holder of a Loan or of a participation therein nor to
impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided
for herein.

                  Section 12.4. Payments. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to
assume that each Bank has made its Loan available in accordance with Section 2.3
or Section 3.2(c), as applicable, unless such Bank notifies the Agent at its
Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date for
such Loan that it does not intend to make such Loan available, it being
understood that no such notice shall relieve such Bank of any of its obligations
under this Agreement. If the Agent makes any payment to the Company on the
assumption that a Bank has made the proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent
but such Bank has not in fact made the proceeds of such Loan available to the
Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount
of such Bank's Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses
from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which
the proceeds of such Bank's Loan become immediately available to the Agent at
its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds
Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. A certificate of the
Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section
12.4(a) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the proceeds of such
Bank's Loan are not made available to the Agent at its Payment Office by such
Bank within three Business Days of such Funding Date, the Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days' demand from the Company,
together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such
Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become
immediately available to the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i)
in the case of a Bid Loan, at the rate per annum applicable thereto and (ii) in
the case of a Committed Loan, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate
Loans hereunder, in either case based upon a year of 360 days. Nothing in this
paragraph (a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have hereunder to
make any Loan or prejudice any rights which the Company may have against any
Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

                  (b)      The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the
Company has made all payments due hereunder from the Company on the due date
thereof unless it receives notification prior to any such due date from the
Company that the Company does not intend to make any such payment, it being
understood that no such notice shall relieve the Company of any of its
obligations under this Agreement. If the Agent distributes any payment to a Bank
hereunder in the belief that the Company has paid to the Agent the amount
thereof but the Company has not in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Bank
shall pay to the Agent on demand (which shall be

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -41-

made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount equal to the amount of the
payment made by the Agent to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each
day that elapses from and including the date on which the Agent made such
payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the amount of such payment is
returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in immediately available funds prior
to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day,
based upon a year of 360 days. If the amount of such payment is not returned to
the Agent in immediately available funds within three Business Days after demand
by the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount calculated in
the manner specified in the preceding sentence after substituting the term "Base
Rate" for the term "Federal Funds Rate". A certificate of the Agent submitted to
any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 12.4(b) shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.

                  Section 12.5. Exculpation. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters, and upon this Agreement and any
Note, security agreement, schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or
other writing which it believes to be genuine or to have been presented by a
proper person. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents shall (i) be responsible for any recitals, representations or
warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Note or any other
instrument or document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (ii) be
deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
until after having received actual notice thereof from the Company or a Bank,
(iii) be under any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing
matters, or to make any inquiry concerning the performance by the Company or any
other obligor of its obligations or (iv) in any event, be liable as such for any
action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The agency hereby created shall in no way
impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or
obligations upon, the Agent in its individual capacity.

                  Section 12.6. Credit Investigation. Each Bank acknowledges,
and shall cause each Assignee or Participant to acknowledge in its assignment or
participation agreement with such Bank, that it has (i) made and will continue
to make such inquiries and has taken and will take such care on its own behalf
as would have been the case had the Loans been made directly by such Bank or
other applicable Person to the Company without the intervention of the Agent or
any other Bank and (ii) independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any
other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made and will continue to make its own credit analysis and
decisions relating to this Agreement. Each Bank agrees and acknowledges, and
shall cause each Assignee or Participant to agree and acknowledge in its
assignment or participation agreement with such Bank, that the Agent makes no
representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of the Company or any
other party to this Agreement or with respect to the legality, validity,
sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note.

                  Section 12.7. CUSA and Affiliates. CUSA and each of its
successors as Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other
Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not
the Agent, and CUSA and any such successor and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage, and continue to

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -42-

engage, in any kind of business with the Company or any Affiliate thereof as if
CUSA or such successor were not the Agent hereunder.

                  Section 12.8. Resignation. The Agent may resign as such at any
time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Company and the Banks. In the
event of any such resignation, Banks having an aggregate Percentage of more than
50% shall as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Agent from among the
Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Agent shall
have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent from among the
Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
thereof or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the
United States of America and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided
profits of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all
further duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent under this Agreement.

                  Section 12.9.  The Register; the Notes.

                  (a)      The Agent, acting on behalf of the Company, shall
maintain a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Banks and
the Commitments and Loans of each Bank from time to time (the "Register"). The
Company, the Banks, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is inscribed
in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Agent, or any
Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (b)      The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the
Commitments and the Bid Loans and Committed Loans from time to time of each
Bank, the amount of each Bank's participation in outstanding Bid Loans and
Committed Loans and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal
amount of the Bid Loans and Committed Loans of each Bank, the principal amount
owing from time to time by the Company in respect of each Bid Loan and each
Committed Loan to each Bank of such Loans and the dates on which the Loan Period
for each such Loan shall begin and end. Any such inscription shall be conclusive
and binding on the Company and each Bank, absent manifest or demonstrable error;
provided that failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such
inscription, shall not affect any of the Company's obligations in respect of the
applicable Loans. The inscription in the Register of the principal amount owing
from time to time by the Company in respect of each Loan shall constitute an
unconditional and irrevocable covenant by the Company in favor of the Person
whose name is so inscribed as the Bank in respect of such Loan that the Company
will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan in
accordance with this Agreement, make all other payments required by this
Agreement to be made by it in respect of such Loan and otherwise perform all of
its obligations

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -43-

under this Agreement in full and by the due date.

                  (c)      Each Bank shall record on its internal records the
amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided
that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Bank's
records, the inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest or
demonstrable error.

                  (d)      If so requested by any Bank by written notice to the
Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior
to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Company shall execute and
deliver to such Bank (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is
an assignee of such Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1 hereof) promptly after
receipt of such notice, a Bid Note or Committed Note, as applicable,
substantially in the form of Exhibit D or Exhibit E hereto, respectively.

                  SECTION 13.  GENERAL.

                  Section 13.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the
Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Loan in the exercise of any right, power
or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No
amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision
of this Agreement or the Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Agent and by Banks having an
aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly
designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as
to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Banks, and then
any amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment,
modification, waiver or consent (i) shall extend (other than in accordance with
Section 13.8(a)) or increase the amount of the Commitments, extend the maturity
of any Commitment or Loan, change the definition of "Required Banks" or
"Percentage" in Section 1, amend or modify Section 4.1, or change any of the
defined terms used in Section 4.1, amend or modify Section 4.4, Section 4.5,
Section 4.7, Section 11.1.1, Section 11.1.8, or this Section 13.1 or otherwise
change the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification,
waiver or consent without the written consent of all Banks, (ii) shall modify or
waive any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 10.1 (or Section 5.3
in connection with the exercise of the Term-Out Option) for the making of any
Loan without the written consent of the Bank which is to make such Loan or (iii)
shall extend the scheduled maturity or reduce the principal amount of, or rate
of interest on, reduce or waive any fee hereunder or extend the due date for or
waive any amount payable under, any Loan without the written consent of the
holder of the Commitment or Loan adversely affected thereby. Amendments,
modifications, waivers and consents of the type described in clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence with respect to Bid Loans or Bid Notes may be effected with
the written consent of the holder of such Bid Loans or Bid Notes and no consent
of any other Bank or other holder shall be required in connection therewith. No
provisions of Section 12 shall be amended, modified or waived without the
Agent's written consent.

                  Section 13.2. Notices. (a) All notices, requests and demands
to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be either (x) in

encrypted or unencrypted) or (y) as and to the extent set forth in Section
13.2(b) and in the proviso to this Section 13.2(a), and, unless otherwise
expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when
delivered or, in the case of telecopy or e-mail notice, when received, addressed
to the Company, the Agent, or such Bank (or other holder) at its address shown
across from its name on Schedule III hereto or at such other address as it may,
by written notice received by the other parties to this Agreement, have
designated as its address for such purpose; provided, that notices hereunder
shall not be given or made to the Company by e-mail; provided, further, that any
notice, request or demand to or upon the Agent or the Banks pursuant to Sections
2.2(a), 3.2(a) or 5.2 shall not be effective until received.

                  (b)      So long as CUSA or any of its Affiliates is the
Agent, the Company shall, if in its reasonable determination it is able to do
so, provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it
is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all
notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports,
certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such
communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an
existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an
interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment
of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement, (iii) relates to
requests for material modifications to this Agreement; (iv) relates to requests
for material waivers of any provisions of this Agreement; (v) relates to any
material non-public information of the Company; (vi) provides notice of any
Event of Default or (vii) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition
precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other
extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being
referred to herein collectively as "Communications"), by transmitting the
Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Agent
to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. The Company agrees that the Agent may make the
Communications available to the Banks by posting the Communications on
Intralinks, Fixed Income Direct or a substantially similar electronic
transmission system (the "Platform"). The Company acknowledges that (i) the
distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure
and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available", and
(iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy or
completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and each
expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or
the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE
DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE
PLATFORM.

                  (c)      Each Bank agrees that Communications may be made
available to such Bank as provided above, agrees to provide to the Agent,
promptly after the date of this Agreement, an e-mail address for receipt of each
notice to such Bank that Communications have been posted on the Platform, and
agrees that such notice to such Bank of such posting shall constitute effective
delivery of such Communications to such Bank hereunder.

                  Section 13.3. Computations. Where the character or amount of
any asset or

                                Credit Agreement

liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any
consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the
purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, at any time
and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this
Agreement, be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America applied on a basis consistent with those in
effect as at the date of the Company's audited financial statements referred to
in Section 8.4. If there should be any material change in generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America after the date hereof
which materially affects the financial covenants in this Agreement, the parties
hereto agree to negotiate in good faith appropriate revisions of such covenants
(it being understood, however, that such covenants shall remain in full force
and effect in accordance with their existing terms pending the execution by the
Company and the Required Banks of any such amendment).

                  Section 13.4. Assignments; Participations. Each Bank may
assign, or sell participations in, its Loans and its Commitment to one or more
other Persons in accordance with this Section 13.4 (and the Company consents to
the disclosure of any information obtained by any Bank in connection herewith to
any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant).

                  Section 13.4.1. Assignments. Any Bank may with the written
consents of the Company and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible
Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made being herein
called an "Assignee") all or any fraction of such Bank's Loans and Commitment
(which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
percentage of such assigning Bank's Loans and Commitment); each such assignment
of a Bank's Commitment shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that any such
Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in the first
sentence of Section 6.4(b) and in Section 6.4(c), Section 6.4(d), Section 6.4(e)
and Section 6.4(g) and shall be deemed to have made, on the date of the
effectiveness of such assignment and delegation, the representation and warranty
set forth in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b); and provided, further, that
the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and
directly with such assigning Bank in connection with the interests so assigned
and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Bank and/or such Assignee
shall have:

                           (i)      given written notice of such assignment and
                  delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and
                  related information with respect to such Assignee,
                  substantially in the form of Exhibit I, to the Company and the
                  Agent;

                           (ii)     provided evidence satisfactory to the
                  Company and the Agent that, as of the date of such assignment
                  and delegation, the Company will not be required to pay any
                  costs, fees, taxes or other amounts of any kind or nature with
                  respect to the interest assigned in excess of those payable by
                  the Company with respect to such interest prior to such
                  assignment;

                           (iii)    paid to the Agent for the account of the
                  Agent a processing fee of $2,500; and

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -46-

                           (iv)     provided to the Agent evidence reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Agent that the assigning Bank has complied
                  with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the
Agent, (x) the Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party
hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned and delegated to such Assignee, such Assignee shall have the rights and
obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other instruments and documents
executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall
be released from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may from time to time (and
upon the request of the Company or any Bank after any change therein shall)
distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the Banks party hereto
or the respective Percentages of such Banks and update the Register. Within five
Business Days after the Company's receipt of notice from the Agent of the
effectiveness of any such assignment and delegation, if requested by the
Assignee in accordance with Section 12.9, the Company shall execute and deliver
to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Notes in favor of such
Assignee and, if the assigning Bank has retained Loans and a Commitment
hereunder and if so requested by such Bank in accordance with Section 12.9,
replacement Notes in favor of the assigning Bank (such Notes to be in exchange
for, but not in payment of, the Notes previously held by such assigning Bank).
Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes. The assigning
Bank shall promptly mark the predecessor Notes, if any, "exchanged" and deliver
them to the Company. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in
accordance with this Section 13.4.1 shall be null and void.

         The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case
of, and this Section 13.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer
by any Bank of all or any portion of such Bank's Loans or Commitment to (i) any
Federal Reserve Bank (provided, that such Federal Reserve Bank shall not be
considered a "Bank" for purposes of this Agreement) or (ii) any Affiliate of
such Bank (provided, that the assigning or transferring Bank shall give notice
of such assignment or transfer to the Agent and the Company). Further, the
foregoing consent requirement of the Company shall not be applicable if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing.

         The Company, each Bank, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that
after receipt by the Agent of the items and consents required by this Section
each Assignee shall be considered a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement
(including without limitation Sections 6.4, 7.1, 7.4, 13.5 and 13.6) and by its
acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6.4).

                  Section 13.4.2. Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell
to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any such commercial bank or
other Person being herein called a "Participant") participating interests in any
of its Loans, its Commitment or any other interest of such Bank hereunder;
provided, however, that

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -47-

                  (a)      no participation contemplated in this Section 13.4.2
         shall relieve such Bank from its Commitment or its other obligations
         hereunder;

                  (b)      such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the
         performance of its Commitment and such other obligations hereunder and
         such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the
         obligations of the Company hereunder, including the right to approve
         any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
         Agreement (subject to Section 13.4.2(d) below);

                  (c)      the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal
         solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's
         rights and obligations under this Agreement;

                  (d)      no Participant, unless such Participant is an
         Affiliate of such Bank, or is itself a Bank, shall be entitled to
         require such Bank to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder,
         except that such Bank may agree with any Participant that such Bank
         will not, without such Participant's consent, take any actions of the
         type described in the third sentence of Section 13.1;

                  (e)      the Company shall not be required to pay any amount
         under Sections 4.1, 6.4 or 7.1 that is greater than the amount which
         the Company would have been required to pay had no participating
         interest been sold;

                  (f)      no Participant may further participate any interest
         in any Committed Loan (and each participation agreement shall contain a
         restriction to such effect);

                  (g)      to the extent permitted by applicable law, each
         Participant shall be considered a Bank for purposes of Section 6.4,
         Section 7.1, Section 7.4, Section 13.5 and Section 13.6 and by its
         acceptance of a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or any
         other interest of a Bank hereunder, each Participant agrees (i) that it
         is bound by, and agrees to deliver all documentation required under,
         the provisions of Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.4 as if such Participant
         were a Bank, and (ii) it is not entitled to any benefits under Section
         6.4 or Section 7.1 unless it is in full compliance with all
         requirements imposed on Banks under any of those Sections; and

                  (h)      such Bank shall have provided to the Agent evidence
         reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank has complied with
         the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

         Any Bank (a "Granting Bank") may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State
thereof (a "SPV") of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time
to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the
option to provide to the Company all or any part of its Loans that such Granting
Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, that (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for
purposes of this Section 13.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise
such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -48-

such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to
the terms hereof and (iv) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount
under Sections 13.5 or 13.6 that is greater than the amount which the Company
would have been required to pay had such SPV not provided the Company with any
part of any Loan of such Granting Bank. The making of a Loan by a SPV hereunder
shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if,
such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that
no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under
this Agreement (any indemnity, liability or other payment obligation, including
but not limited to any tax liabilities that occur by reason of such funding by
the SPV, shall remain the obligation of the Granting Bank). In furtherance of
the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything contrary
contained in this Section 13.4.2, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without
the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its
interests in any Loans to the Granting Bank providing liquidity and/or credit
support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance
of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information
relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider
of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This
paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of any SPV at the time
holding all or any part of any Loans under this Agreement (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

                  Section 13.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to
pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent
(including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the
Agent (and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel)), in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement, the Notes and all other instruments or documents provided for herein
or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b) all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses and allocated costs of staff counsel) incurred by the Agent and each
Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any such
other instruments or documents. Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent for such
Bank's pro rata share (based upon its respective Percentage) of any such costs
or expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of all the Banks and not paid by the
Company other than any fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent
which exceed the amount which the Company has agreed with the Agent to
reimburse. In addition, the Company agrees to pay, and to hold the Agent and the

                  Section 13.6. Indemnification. In consideration of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Banks, the Company
hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Banks, the Agent, the
Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent, and each of the officers,
directors, employees and agents of the Banks, the Agent and the Affiliates of
each of the Banks and the Agent (collectively herein called the "Bank Parties"
and individually called a "Bank Party") free and harmless from and against any
and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements (collectively herein called the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by the Bank Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of,
or relating to (i) this Agreement, the Notes (if any) or the Loans or (ii) the
direct or indirect use of proceeds of any of the Loans or any credit extended
hereunder, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of
such Bank Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and if and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the
Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. The Company agrees not to assert any claim against the Bank
Parties on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or
punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the
Notes (if any) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. All obligations provided
for in this Section 13.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of
the Notes (if any) or any termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 13.7. Regulation U. Each Bank represents that it in
good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any margin stock
(as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System) as collateral security for the extension or
maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

                  Section 13.8. Extension of Termination Dates; Removal of
Banks; Substitution of Banks. (a) Not more than 60 days nor less than 45 days
prior to the then-effective Termination Date, the Company may, at its option,
request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend their scheduled
Termination Dates by an additional 364 days, or such shorter period as agreed
upon by the Company and the Agent, by means of a letter, addressed to each such
Bank and the Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Each such Bank
electing (in its sole discretion) so to extend its scheduled Termination Date
shall execute and deliver not earlier than the 30th day nor later than the 20th
day prior to the then-effective Termination Date counterparts of such letter to
the Company and the Agent, who shall notify the Company, in writing, of the
Banks' decisions no later than 15 days prior to the existing Termination Date,
whereupon (unless Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 25% decline to
extend their respective scheduled Termination Dates, in which event the Agent
shall notify all the Banks thereof and no such extension shall occur) such
Bank's scheduled Termination Date shall be extended, effective only as of the
date that is such Bank's then-current scheduled Termination Date, to the date
that is 364 days, or such shorter period as agreed as provided above, after such
Bank's then-current scheduled Termination Date. Any Bank that declines or fails
to respond to the Company's request for such extension shall be deemed to have
not extended its scheduled Termination Date.

                  (b)      With respect to any Bank (i) on account of which the
Company is required to make any deductions or withholdings or pay any additional
amounts, as contemplated by Section

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -50-

6.4, (ii) on account of which the Company is required to pay any additional
amounts, as contemplated by Section 7.1, (iii) for which it is illegal to make a
LIBOR Rate Loan, as contemplated by Section 7.3 or (iv) which has declined to
extend such Bank's scheduled Termination Date and Banks with an aggregate
Percentage in excess of 75% have elected to extend their respective Termination
Dates, the Company may in its discretion, upon not less than 30 days' prior
written notice to the Agent and each Bank, remove such Bank as a party hereto.
Each such notice shall specify the date of such removal (which shall be a
Business Day and, if such Bank has any outstanding Bid Loans, shall (unless
otherwise agreed by such Bank) be on or after the last day of the Loan Period
for the Bid Loan of such Bank having the latest maturity date), which shall
thereupon become the scheduled Termination Date for such Bank.

                  (c)      In the event that any Bank does not extend its
scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above or is the subject of
a notice of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above, then, at any time prior to
the Termination Date for such Bank (a "Terminating Bank"), the Company may, at
its option, arrange to have one or more other Eligible Assignees (which may be a
Bank or Banks, or if not a Bank, shall be acceptable to the Agent (such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and each of which shall
herein be called a "Successor Bank") with the approval of the Agent (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) succeed to all or a
percentage of the Terminating Bank's outstanding Loans, if any, and rights under
this Agreement and assume all or a like percentage (as the case may be) of such
Terminating Bank's undertaking to make Loans pursuant hereto and other
obligations hereunder (as if (i) in the case of any Bank electing not to extend
its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Successor
Bank had extended its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to such subsection (a)
and (ii) in the case of any Bank that is the subject of a notice of removal
pursuant to sub-section (b) above, no such notice of removal had been given by
the Company); provided, that prior to replacing any Terminating Bank with any
Successor Bank, the Company shall have given each Bank which has agreed to
extend its Termination Date an opportunity to increase its Commitment by all or
a portion of the Terminating Banks' Commitments. Such succession and assumption
shall be effected by means of one or more agreements supplemental to this
Agreement among the Terminating Bank, the Successor Bank, the Company and the
Agent. On and as of the effective date of each such supplemental agreement (i)
each Successor Bank party thereto shall be and become a Bank for all purposes of
this Agreement and to the same extent as any other Bank hereunder and shall be
bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement in the same manner as
any other Bank and (ii) the Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account
of the Agent a processing fee of $2,500 for each such Successor Bank which is
not a Bank.

                  (d)      On the Termination Date for any Terminating Bank,
such Terminating Bank's Commitment shall terminate and the Company shall pay in
full all of such Terminating Bank's Loans (except to the extent assigned
pursuant to subsection (c) above) and all other amounts payable to such Bank
hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.4 on account of
such payment); provided, that if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default exists on the date scheduled as any Terminating Bank's Termination Date,
payment of such Terminating Bank's Loans shall be postponed to (and, for
purposes of calculating facility fees under Section 4.4, utilization fees under
Section 4.5 and determining the Required Banks (except as provided below), but
for no other purpose, such Terminating Bank's Commitment shall

continue until) the first Business Day thereafter on which (i) no Event of
Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (without regard to any waiver or
amendment that makes this Agreement less restrictive for the Company, other than
as described in clause (ii) below) or (ii) the Required Banks (which for
purposes of this subsection (d) shall be determined based upon the respective
Percentages and aggregate Commitments of all Banks other than any Terminating
Bank whose scheduled Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this
proviso) waive or amend the provisions of this Agreement to cure all existing
Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or agree to permit any
borrowing hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any such event. In the
event that CUSA or its Affiliates shall become a Terminating Bank, the Required
Banks with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall appoint another Bank or other Person as Agent, which
shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Agent upon the effective
date of and pursuant to an agreement supplemental hereto among the Company and
the Banks, and thereupon CUSA, as Agent, shall be relieved from its obligations
as Agent hereunder, it being understood that the provisions of Section 12 shall
inure to the benefit of CUSA as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no such successor Agent shall be
appointed within 30 days of the Termination Date of the Agent, then the Agent
shall, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 12.8 for a resigning Agent.

                  (e)      To the extent that all or a portion of any
Terminating Bank's obligations are not assumed pursuant to subsection (c) above,
the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced on the applicable Termination Date and
each Bank's percentage of the reduced Aggregate Commitment shall be revised pro
rata to reflect such Terminating Bank's absence. The Agent shall distribute a
revised Schedule I indicating such revisions promptly after the applicable
Termination Date and update the Register accordingly. Such revised Schedule I
shall be deemed conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

                  (f)      The Agent agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts
to assist the Company in locating one or more commercial banks or other
financial institutions to replace any Terminating Bank prior to such Terminating
Bank's Termination Date.

                  Section 13.9. Captions. Section captions used in this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this
Agreement.

                  Section 13.10. Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT AND
EACH NOTE SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER, GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. All obligations of the Company
and the rights of the Agent, the Banks and any other holders of the Loans
expressed herein or in the Notes (if any) shall be in addition to and not in
limitation of those provided by applicable law. Whenever possible each provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

                  Section 13.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on
separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same Agreement. When counterparts of this Agreement executed by each party shall
have been lodged with the Agent (or, in the case of any Bank as to which an
executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Agent shall have
received facsimile or other written confirmation of execution of a counterpart
hereof by such Bank), this Agreement shall become effective as of the date
hereof and the Agent shall so inform all of the parties hereto.

                  Section 13.12. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to do
such other acts and things, and to deliver to the Agent and each Bank such
additional agreements, powers and instruments, as the Agent or any Bank may
reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this
Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Agent and each Bank their
respective rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

                  Section 13.13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the Company, the Banks and the Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Banks
and the Agent and the respective successors and assigns of the Banks and the
Agent. Subject to Section 9.9, the Company may not assign any of its rights or
delegate any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of all of the Banks.

                  Section 13.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY, THE AGENT
AND EACH BANK HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY
AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE
FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING
RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

                  Section 13.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company
acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary relationship
with, or fiduciary duty to, the Company arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, the Notes (if any) or the transactions contemplated hereby, and
the relationship between the Agent and the Banks, on the one hand, and the
Company, on the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of
creditor and debtor. This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the
parties.

                  Section 13.16. Tax Structure Disclosure. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, each party hereto (and each party's employees,
representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of this
Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment
and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is
reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

                  SECTION 2. BID LOANS AND BID NOTES.

                  Section 2.1. Making of Bid Loans. On the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for itself alone, may
(but is not obligated to) make Bid Loans to the Company from time to time on or
after the date hereof and prior to the date which is the fourteenth day
preceding such Bank's Termination Date in amounts equal to such Bank's Bids that
have been accepted as provided in Section 2.2(c); provided, that the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Loans shall not at any time exceed the then
Aggregate Commitment.

                  Section 2.2. Procedure for Bid Loans.

                  (a) Bid Loan Request. Whenever the Company desires to incur a
competitive bid borrowing (a "Bid Borrowing"), it shall give the Agent written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), such notice to be
delivered to the Agent at its Notice Office no later than 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, at least three Business Days prior to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan
and at least one Business Day prior to any proposed Absolute Rate Loan. Each
such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a
"Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing"), and shall specify in each case (i) the
date of such proposed Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the
aggregate amount of the proposed Bid Borrowing, (iii) whether the proposed Bid
Borrowing is to be an Absolute Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and the Loan
Period, (iv) the maturity date for repayment of each Bid Loan to be made as part
of such borrowing (which maturity date shall not be earlier than one month after

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -12-

the date of any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or 14 days after the date of any
proposed Absolute Rate Loan or later than the earliest to occur of (x) six
months after the date of such proposed Bid Loan, (y) the Termination Date and
(z) if the proposed Bid Loan has an interest rate that is the LIBOR Rate, the
last day of the proposed Loan Period), (v) the interest payment date or dates
relating thereto, (vi) the account to which the proceeds of such Bid Borrowing
are to be credited and (vii) any other terms to be applicable to such Bid
Borrowing. The Agent shall promptly give each Bank written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each such request for a Bid Borrowing
received by it from the Company. Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall
contemplate Bid Loans in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or
a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed, however, the excess of
the then Aggregate Commitment over the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Loans, calculated as of the relevant Funding Date, assuming that the
Company will pay, when due, all Loans maturing on or prior to such Funding Date
(the "Available Commitment").

                  (b) Bidding Procedure. Each Bank shall, if in its sole
discretion it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans
to the Company as part of such proposed Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of
interest specified by such Bank in its sole discretion and determined by such
Bank independently of each other Bank, by notifying by telephone confirmed in
writing to the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Company), before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date (the
"Submission Deadline") that is (x) in the case of a proposed Absolute Rate Loan,
the same day as the date of such proposed Bid Loan and (y) in the case of a
proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, two Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid
Loan. Each Bid shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each a "Bid"),
and shall specify in each case (i) the Loan Period, (ii) the minimum amount and
maximum amount of each Bid Loan that such Bank would be willing to make as part
of such proposed Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso in
Section 2.1, exceed such Bank's Commitment), (iii) the rate or rates of interest
therefor and (iv) such Bank's lending office with respect to such Bid Loan;
provided, that if the Agent in its capacity as a Bank shall, in its sole
discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Company of such
offer before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Submission Deadline.

                  (c) Acceptance of Bids. The Company shall, in turn, before
10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Submission Deadline, either:

                  (i) cancel such proposed Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent
         notice to that effect, or

                  (ii) accept (such acceptance to be irrevocable) one or more of
         the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (b) above by
         giving notice (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the
         Agent of the amount of each Bid Loan (which amount shall be equal to or
         greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum
         amount, notified to the Company by the Agent on behalf of such Bank for
         such Bid Borrowing pursuant to clause (b) above) to be made by such
         Bank as part of such Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers
         made by any Bank pursuant to clause (b) above by giving the Agent
         notice to that effect; provided, that for any maturity date acceptance
         of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates (in

                                Credit Agreement

                                      -13-

         the case of an Absolute Rate Loan) or floating rates (in the case of a
         LIBOR Rate Loan), in each case commencing with the lowest rate so
         offered and only as to offers made in conformity with the terms hereof;
         provided, further, however, if offers are made by two or more Banks at
         the same rate or rates and acceptance of all such equal offers would
         result in a greater principal amount of Bid Loans being accepted than
         the aggregate principal amount requested by the Company, the Company
         shall have the right to accept one or more of such equal offers in
         their entirety and reject the other equal offer or offers or to
         allocate acceptance among all such equal offers (but giving effect to
         the minimum and maximum amounts specified for each such offer pursuant
         to clause (b) above), as the Company may elect in its sole discretion.
         The Company may not accept offers whose aggregate principal amount is
         greater than the requested aggregate amount as specified in the related
         Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, subject to the proviso in Section
         2.1.

                  (d) Cancellation of Bid Borrowing. If the Company notifies the
Agent that such proposed Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to clause (c)(i)
above, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks and such Bid
Borrowing shall not be made.

                  (e) Notification of Acceptance. If the Company accepts one or
more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above,
the Agent shall in turn promptly notify (x) each Bank that has made an offer as
described in clause (b) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such Bid
Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bank pursuant to
clause (b) above have been accepted by the Company and (y) each Bank that is to
make a Bid Loan as part of such Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Bid Loan to
be made by such Bank as part of such Bid Borrowing.

                  (f) Reliance. The Agent may rely and act upon notice given by
telephone by individuals reasonably believed by the Agent to be those designated
to the Agent by the Company or by any Bank in writing from time to time, without
waiting for receipt of written confirmation thereof, and the Company hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all
losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims, actions or other proceedings relating
to such reliance.

                  Section 2.3. Funding of Bid Loans. No later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the date specified in each Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing, each Bank will make available the Bid Loan, if any, to be made by
such Bank as part of the Bid Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the
manner provided below. All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in
Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Agent and
the Agent promptly will make available to the Company at its account specified
in the relevant Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts
so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Agent shall have
been notified by any Bank which has submitted a bid pursuant to Section 2.2(b)
prior to the date of the proposed Bid Borrowing that such Bank does not intend
to make available to the Agent its portion, if any, of the Bid Borrowing to be
made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount
available to the Agent on such date of the Bid Borrowing, and the Agent, in
reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any
obligation to do so) make available to the Company a corresponding amount.

                  SECTION 3. COMMITTED LOANS AND NOTES.

                  Section 3.1. Agreement to Make Committed Loans. On the terms
and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for
itself alone, agrees to make Loans (herein collectively called "Committed Loans"
and individually each called a "Committed Loan") on a revolving basis from time
to time from the date hereof until such Bank's Termination Date in such Bank's
Percentage of such aggregate amounts as the Company may from time to time
request as provided in Section 3.2; provided, that (a) the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of any Bank shall not at any time
exceed the amount set forth opposite such Bank's name on Schedule I (as reduced
in accordance with Section 5.1, Section 13.4 or Section 13.8) and (b) the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of all Banks plus
the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Loans of all Banks shall
not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment. Within the limits of this
Section 3.1, the Company may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow
Committed Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

                  Section 3.2. Procedure for Committed Loans.

                  (a) Committed Loan Requests. The Company shall give the Agent
irrevocable telephonic notice at the Notice Office (promptly confirmed in
writing on the same day), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, (i) at
least three Business Days prior to the Funding Date in the case of LIBOR Rate
Loans or (ii) on the Funding Date in the case of Base Rate Loans, of each
requested Committed Loan, and the Agent shall promptly advise each Bank thereof
and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, if the Telerate Page is not available,
request each Reference Bank to notify the Agent of its applicable rate (as
contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). Each such notice to the Agent (a
"Committed Loan Request") shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C and
shall specify (i) the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Loans requested (in an amount permitted under clause (b)
below), (iii) whether each Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan
and (iv) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Loan Period therefor (subject to the
limitations set forth in the definition of Loan Period).

                  (b) Amount and Increments of Committed Loans. Each Committed
Loan Request shall contemplate Committed Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of
$10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed in the
aggregate (for all requested Committed Loans) the Available Commitment.

                  (c) Funding of Committed Loans.

                  (i) Not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
Funding Date of a Committed Loan, each Bank shall, subject to this Section
3.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with immediately available funds
covering such Bank's Committed Loan (provided, that a Bank's obligation to
provide funds to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by such Bank's delivery to
the Agent at its Notice Office not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, of
a Federal reserve wire confirmation number covering the proceeds of such Bank's
Committed Loan) and the Agent shall pay over such funds to the Company not later
than 2:00 p.m., New

<PAGE>

                                      -15-

York City time, on such day if the Agent shall have received
the documents required under Section 10 with respect to such Loan and the other
conditions precedent to the making of such Loan shall have been satisfied not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day. If the Agent does not
receive such documents or such other conditions precedent have not been
satisfied prior to such time, then (A) the Agent shall not pay over such funds
to the Company, (B) the Company's Committed Loan Request related to such Loan
shall be deemed cancelled in its entirety, (C) in the case of Committed Loan
Requests relative to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Company shall be liable to each Bank
in accordance with Section 7.4(a) and (D) the Agent shall return the amount
previously provided to the Agent by each Bank on the next following Business
Day.

                  (ii) The Company agrees, notwithstanding its previous delivery
of any documents required under Section 10 with respect to a particular Loan,
immediately to notify the Agent of any failure by it to satisfy the conditions
precedent to the making of such Loan. The Agent shall be entitled to assume,
after it has received each of the documents required under Section 10 with
respect to a particular Loan, that each of the conditions precedent to the
making of such Loan has been satisfied absent actual knowledge to the contrary
received by the Agent prior to the time of the receipt of such documents. Unless
the Agent shall have notified the Banks prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time,
on the Funding Date of any Loan that the Agent has actual knowledge that the
conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have not been satisfied, the
Banks shall be entitled to assume that such conditions precedent have been
satisfied.

                  (d) Repayment of Loans. If any Bank is to make a Committed
Loan hereunder on a day on which the Company is to repay (or has elected to
prepay, pursuant to Section 5.2) all or any part of any outstanding Loan held by
such Bank, the proceeds of such new Committed Loan shall be applied to make such
repayment and only an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between
the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be requested by the
Agent to be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in Section
3.2(c).

                  Section 3.3. Maturity of Committed Loans. Except for a Base
Rate Loan, which shall mature on the Termination Date, a Committed Loan made by
a Bank shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period applicable to such
Committed Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Bank.

                  SECTION 4. INTEREST AND FEES.

                  Section 4.1. Interest Rates. The Company hereby promises to
pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period
commencing on the Funding Date for such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, as
follows:

                  (a) if such Loan is a Bid Loan, at a rate per annum equal to
the Absolute Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, offered by the applicable
Bank and accepted by the Company for such Bid Loan;

                  (b) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -16-

                  (c) if such Loan is a Committed Loan that is a LIBOR Rate
Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period
for such Loan; provided, however, that after the maturity of any Loan (whether
by acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to the Base Rate from
time to time in effect (but not less than the interest rate in effect for such
Loan immediately prior to maturity) plus 1% per annum.

                  Section 4.2. Interest Payment Dates. Except for Base Rate
Loans, as to which accrued interest shall be payable on the last day of each
calendar quarter and on the Termination Date, accrued interest on each Loan
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Loan Period therefor and (i)
with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the
day that is three months after the first day of such Loan Period (or, if there
is no day in such third month numerically corresponding to such first day of the
Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month) and (ii) with respect to
each Absolute Rate Loan with a Loan Period exceeding 90 days, on the day that is
90 days after the first day of such Loan Period. After the maturity of any Loan,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on demand. If any interest
payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment
date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and the interest
paid shall cover the period of postponement (except that if the Loan is a LIBOR
Rate Loan and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day).

                  Section 4.3. Setting and Notice of Committed Loan Rates. The
applicable interest rate for each Committed Loan hereunder shall be determined
by the Agent and notice thereof shall be given by the Agent promptly to the
Company and to each Bank. Each determination of the applicable interest rate by
the Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence
of demonstrable error.

                  In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, each Reference Bank agrees to
use its best efforts to notify the Agent in a timely fashion of its applicable
rate after the Agent's request (if any) therefor under Section 2.2(a) and
Section 3.2(a) (as contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). If as to any Loan
Period the Telerate Page is not available and any one or more of the Reference
Banks is unable or for any reason fails to notify the Agent of its applicable
rate by 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding
Date, then the applicable LIBOR Rate shall be determined on the basis of the
rate or rates of which the Agent is given notice by the remaining Reference Bank
or Banks by such time. If the Telerate Page is not available and none of the
Reference Banks notifies the Agent of the applicable rate prior to 11:30 a.m.,
New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then (i) the
Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) at the option of
the Company the Committed Loan Request delivered by the Company pursuant to
Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Funding Date shall be cancelled or shall be
deemed to have specified a Base Rate Loan.

                  The Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any
Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations
used by the Agent in determining

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -17-

the interest rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan.

                  Section 4.4. Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the
Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective
Percentages an annual facility fee computed by multiplying the average daily
amount of the Aggregate Commitment (whether used or unused) by the applicable
percentage determined with respect to such facility fee in accordance with
Schedule II hereto. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with
the last Business Day of December, 2003) until the Commitments have expired or
have been terminated and on the date of such expiration or termination (and, in
the case of any Terminating Bank, such Bank's Termination Date), in each case
for the period then ending for which such facility fee has not previously been
paid.

                  Section 4.5. Utilization Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the
Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective
Percentages, (i) during any period that the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans exceeds 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitment, a utilization
fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the Aggregate Commitment
by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such utilization fee in
accordance with Schedule II hereto and (ii) during any period that the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds 66.66% of the Aggregate
Commitment, a utilization fee in addition to the utilization fees accruing
pursuant to clause (i) above computed by multiplying the average daily amount of
the Aggregate Commitment by the applicable percentage determined with respect to
such utilization fee in accordance with Schedule II hereto; provided, that if
the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans exceeds an amount
equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then in effect, then in
calculating the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans for purposes
of this Section 4.5 only, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans
shall not include an amount equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then
in effect. Accrued utilization fees shall be due and payable on each date that
interest is payable on each such Loan.

                  Section 4.6. Agent's Fees. The Company agrees promptly to pay
to the Agent such fees as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the
Agent.

                  Section 4.7. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on
LIBOR Rate Loans, and facility and utilization fees shall be computed for the
actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year; and interest on
Base Rate Loans shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the
basis of a 365/366 day year, as the case may be. The interest rate applicable to
each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate Loan, and (to the extent applicable) after
the maturity of any other type of Loan, the interest rate applicable to such
Loan, shall change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base
Rate, as applicable.

                  SECTION 5. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS;
                             REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

                  Section 5.1. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the
Commitments. The Company may at any time on at least 5 days' prior irrevocable
notice received by the Agent (which shall promptly on the same day or on the
next Business Day advise each Bank thereof)

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -18-

permanently reduce the amount of the Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata
among the Banks according to their respective Percentages) to an amount not less
than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans. Any such reduction
shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. Concurrently with any such reduction, the Company shall prepay
the principal of any Committed Loans outstanding to the extent that the
aggregate amount of such Loans outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate
Commitment, as so reduced. The Company may from time to time on like irrevocable
notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Loans, all interest
accrued thereon, all fees and all other obligations of the Company hereunder;
provided, however, that the Company may not at any time terminate the
Commitments if any Bid Loan is outstanding (unless the holder of each such
outstanding Bid Loan has given its prior written consent to the concurrent
repayment of such Bid Loan).

                  Section 5.2. Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may
voluntarily prepay Loans (other than Bid Loans, which may only be prepaid with
the prior written consent of the holder thereof) without premium or penalty,
except as may be required pursuant to subsection (e) below, in whole or in part;
provided, that (a) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) except
for the prepayment of the aggregate amount of all Loans outstanding, no such
prepayment shall result in there being less than $10,000,000 in Loans
outstanding in the aggregate, (c) the Company shall give the Agent at its Notice
Office (which shall promptly advise each Bank) not less than three Business
Days' prior notice thereof specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and
amount of prepayment, (d) any prepayment of principal of any Loan shall include
accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid
and (e) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 7.4.

                  SECTION 6. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SET-OFF; TAXES.

                  Section 6.1. Making of Payments. Except as provided in Section
3.2(d), payments (including those made pursuant to Section 5.1) of principal of,
or interest on, the Loans and all payments of fees shall be made by the Company
to the Agent in immediately available funds at its Payment Office not later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date due; and funds received after that
hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next following
Business Day. The Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of
each such payment. All payments under Section 7 shall be made by the Company
directly to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  Section 6.2. Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.

                  (a) Except as required pursuant to Section 7 or Section 13.8,
each payment or prepayment of principal of any Committed Loans, each payment of
interest on the Committed Loans, and each payment of the facility fee shall be
allocated pro rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective
Percentages. Each payment of principal of any Bid Borrowing shall be allocated
pro rata among the Banks participating in such Bid

Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their
outstanding Bid Loans comprising such Bid Borrowing. Each payment of interest on
any Bid Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks participating in
such Bid Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and
unpaid interest on their outstanding Bid Loans comprising such Bid Borrowing.

                  (b) If any Bank or other holder of a Committed Loan shall
obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of, interest on or
fees or other amounts with respect to any Committed Loan in excess of the share
of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries under
Section 7 or pursuant to Section 13.8) such Bank or other holder would have
received if such payment had been distributed pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.2(a), such Bank or other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or
holders, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such participations in the
Committed Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all such payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Committed Loans shall be shared by
the Banks and other holders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Percentages; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment
or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank or holder,
the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest.

                  (c) If any Bank or other holder of a Bid Loan shall obtain any
payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of
offset or otherwise) on account of principal of, interest on or fees or other
amounts with respect to any Bid Loan in excess of the share of payments and
other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries pursuant to Section 7 or
Section 13.8) such Bank or other holder would have received if such payment had
been distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2(a), such Bank or
other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or holders participating in
such Bid Borrowing, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such
participations in the Bid Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all
such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Bid Loans shall be
shared by the Banks and other holders participating in such Bid Borrowing in a
manner consistent with Section 6.2(a); provided, however, that if all or any
portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

                  Section 6.3. Set-off. The Company agrees that the Agent, each
Bank, each Assignee and each Participant has all rights of set-off and bankers'
lien provided by applicable law, and the Company further agrees that at any time
(i) any amount owing by the Company under this Agreement is due to any such
Person or (ii) any Event of Default exists, each such Person may apply to the
payment of any amount payable hereunder any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with such Person.

                  Section 6.4. Taxes, etc. (a) All payments made by the Company
to the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant under this Agreement and
the Notes shall be made without any set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear
of and without deduction for or on account of any present or future Covered
Taxes now or hereafter imposed (except to the extent that such withholding or
deduction (x) is compelled by law, (y) results from the breach, by the recipient
of a payment, of its agreement contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or
Section 6.4(e) or (z) would not be required if the representation or warranty
contained in the second

sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the date of this Agreement, or with
respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2
or Section 13.8, true at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder). If the
Company is compelled by law to make any such deductions or withholdings of any
Covered Taxes it will:

                  (i) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required
         to be so withheld or deducted,

                  (ii) except to the extent that such withholding or deduction
         results from the breach by the recipient of its agreement contained in
         Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or Section 6.4(e) or, if applicable,
         would not be required if the representation or warranty contained in
         the second sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the date of this
         Agreement, or with respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank pursuant to
         Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section 13.8, true at the time such
         Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, pay such additional amounts as may be
         necessary in order that the net amount received by the Agent, each
         Bank, each Assignee and each Participant after such deductions or
         withholdings (including any required deduction or withholding on such
         additional amounts) shall equal the amount such payee would have
         received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and

                  (iii) promptly forward to the Agent (for delivery to such
         payee) an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the
         Agent evidencing such payment to such authorities.

                  Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against
the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant, such payee may pay such
Covered Taxes, and, upon receipt of an official receipt or other satisfactory
documentation evidencing such payment, the Company shall promptly pay such
additional amount (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or
reasonable expenses) as may be necessary in order that the net amount received
by such payee after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered
Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payee would have
received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted (provided, that the Agent, the
Banks, and any Assignee or Participant shall use reasonable efforts, to the
extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the
extent possible any such Covered Taxes if they can do so without material cost
or legal or regulatory disadvantage). For purposes of this Section 6.4, a
distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any
Bank, Assignee or Participant shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company.
The Company's agreement under this Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

                  (b) In consideration of, and as a condition to, the Company's
undertakings in Section 6.4(a), each Bank other than a Bank that is organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof
(a "Non-U.S. Bank") agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at its Payment
Office for delivery to the Company, before the first scheduled payment date in
each year, (i) to the extent it acts for its own account with respect to any
portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-U.S. Bank under this Agreement,
two original copies of

United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or any
successor forms), as appropriate, properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Bank, and claiming complete exemption from withholding and deduction of
United States Federal Taxes, and (ii) to the extent it does not act or has
ceased to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid
or payable to such Bank under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a
typical Participation by such Non-U.S. Bank), (1) for the portion of any such
sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank acts for its own
account, two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided
by such Non-U.S. Bank under subsection (i) of this Section 6.4(b), properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank and claiming complete
exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (2)
for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such
Non-U.S. Bank does not act or has ceased to act for its own account, two
original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any
successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank,
together with any information, if any, such Non-U.S. Bank chooses to transmit
with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder. Each Bank
hereby (i) represents and warrants to the Company that, at the date of this
Agreement, or at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, it is entitled to
receive payments of principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on
account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political
subdivision thereof, and (ii) acknowledges that in the event that after the date
of this Agreement or after the date that a Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, such
Bank is no longer entitled to receive payments or principal and interest
hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United
States of America or any political subdivision thereof, such Bank will be
subject to removal pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof.

                  (c) Each Non-U.S. Bank hereby agrees, from time to time after
the initial delivery by such Non-U.S. Bank of any forms or other information
pursuant to Section 6.4(b), whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances
renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, that such Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly (and
in all events, prior to the next applicable payment date), deliver to the Agent
at the Payment Office for delivery to the Company two original copies of any
renewal, amendment or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly
executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any other certificate or statement
of exemption required by applicable law or regulation in order to (i) confirm or
establish such Non-U.S. Bank's complete exemption from withholding and deduction
of United States Federal Taxes with respect to payments to such Bank under this
Agreement or (ii) in the case of a change in law after the date on which such
Non-U.S. Bank became a Bank hereunder that results in a withholding or deduction
of United States Federal Taxes on payments hereunder to such Non-U.S. Bank,
establish the status of such Non-U.S. Bank as other than a United States person
for United States Federal tax purposes and, to the extent entitled under an
applicable treaty or other law, claim the benefit of a reduced rate of
withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to any
such payments under an applicable tax treaty of the United States, or (iii) if
applicable, confirm or establish that such Non-U.S. Bank does not act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any such payments.

                  (d) If the Company determines in good faith that a reasonable
basis exists for

contesting a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an
additional amount under this Section 6.4, the Agent and the Banks, as
applicable, shall, subject to Section 6.4(f), cooperate with the Company in
challenging such Covered Tax at the Company's expense if requested by the
Company (it being understood and agreed that neither the Agent nor any Bank
shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any
Tax). If the Agent or a Bank has actual knowledge that it is entitled to receive
a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset
to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) in respect of a
Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount
under this Section 6.4, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability
of such refund (unless it was made aware of such refund by the Company) and
shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request from the Company, apply for
such refund at the Company's expense. If the Agent or any Bank receives a refund
(whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an
amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) of any Covered Tax with
respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section
6.4 which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Agent or such Bank, as
the case may be, is allocable to such payment made under this Section 6.4, the
amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon) shall be
paid to the Company, but only to the extent of the additional amounts received
from the Company, provided that, in the case of a Covered Tax the Company was
required to deduct and withhold under this Section 6.4, the Company deducted and
withheld such Covered Tax in full as and when required pursuant to this Section
6.4, provided further, that if such refund subsequently becomes unavailable or
must be returned, this will be treated as a Covered Tax indemnifiable under this
Section 6.4.

                  (e) Each Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of
the United States of America or any State thereof (a "U.S. Bank") agrees to
execute and deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the
Company, on or before the date of this Agreement or on or before the date such
Bank becomes a Bank hereunder and on or before the date on which such Bank
ceases to act for its own account with respect to the applicable portion of any
sums paid or payable to such U.S. Bank and before the first scheduled payment
date in each subsequent year a copy of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such
U.S. Bank, and claiming that it is organized and existing under the laws of the
United States of America or any State thereof.

                  (f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall require any
Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its
taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

                  (g) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent
of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which
will entitle such Bank to receipt of additional amounts pursuant to this Section
6.4 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such amounts and will not, in such Bank's
sole discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

                  SECTION 7. INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ABSOLUTE
                             RATE LOANS AND LIBOR RATE LOANS.

                  Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein,
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any
Funding Office of such Bank) with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency,

                  (A) shall subject any Bank (or any Funding Office of such
         Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate
         Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall
         change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or any Funding
         Office of such Bank) of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Rate
         Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its
         LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for
         changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or
         its Funding Office imposed by any Governmental Authority of the country
         in which such Bank is incorporated or in which such Bank's Funding
         Office is located);

                  (B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
         (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of
         Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve
         included in the determination of additional interest pursuant to
         Section 4.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for
         insurance of deposits) or similar requirement against assets of,
         deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank
         (or any Funding Office of such Bank); or

                  (C) shall impose on any Bank (or any Funding Office of such
         Bank) any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or
         its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose
an additional cost on) such Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of making
or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such Bank (or such Bank's Funding Office) under this Agreement
or under its Notes with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by
such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the
basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased
cost or such reduction (without duplication of any amounts which have been paid
or reimbursed).

                  (b) If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall determine that
the adoption, effectiveness or phase-in of any applicable law, rule, guideline
or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change
in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such
Bank or

any Person controlling such Bank) with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the capital of such Bank or any Person controlling such Bank
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such
Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's or such controlling
Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time,
within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a
statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay
directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction.

                  (c) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent
of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which
will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1 and will
designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Bank's
sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

                  Section 7.2. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If with respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

                  (a) the Telerate Page is not available and the Agent is
         advised by two or more Reference Banks that deposits in Dollars (in the
         applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Reference Banks in
         the relevant market for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise
         determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all
         parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR market,
         adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
         applicable LIBOR Rate; or

                  (b) the Required Banks advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as
         determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
         to such Required Banks of maintaining or funding LIBOR Rate Loans for
         such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate Loans has
         become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date
         of this Agreement which in such Required Banks' opinion materially
         affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so
long as such circumstances shall continue, no Bank shall be under any obligation
to make any LIBOR Rate Loan.

                  Section 7.3. Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful.
In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable
laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations
by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the
administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such
Bank raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Bank to
make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Bank shall promptly
notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such
event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue, the obligation of such
Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any request by the Company
for LIBOR Rate Loans shall, as to such Bank, be deemed to be a request for a
Base Rate Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Committed Loan, or an Absolute Rate
Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Bid Loan and (c) on the last day of the

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -25-

current Loan Period for such Bank's LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in any event, if such
Bank so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law,
regulation or interpretation) such Bank's Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall
cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at
a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a
Committed Loan, or at an Absolute Rate, which Absolute Rate shall be the LIBOR
Rate in effect during such Loan Period, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Bid Loan.
If at any time the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer exist,
then such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent.

                  Section 7.4. Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that
upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the
Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank
may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate
Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or
mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including, without limitation, any payment
pursuant to Section 7.3 or any payment resulting from acceleration) of any LIBOR
Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day
of the Loan Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow any
Loans on the originally scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to
this Agreement (including, without limitation, any failure to borrow resulting
from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to such borrowing). For
this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all acceptances of Bids) shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

                  Section 7.5. Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to
Section 7.1(c)), each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of
all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood,
however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder
shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate
Loan or Absolute Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such Loan through the
purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and
bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such Loan for such Loan
Period.

                  Section 7.6. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of
Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Section 7
shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each Bank may use reasonable
averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation pursuant to
Section 7.1 or 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive termination
of this Agreement and payment of the Loans.

                  SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  To induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to make
Loans hereunder, the Company hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to the Agent and the Banks, which representations and warranties
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the
disbursement of the initial Loans hereunder:

standing as a foreign corporation or other entity authorized to do business in
each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties,

Effect.

                  Section 8.2. Authorization; Consents; No Conflict. The
execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes, the
borrowings hereunder and the performance by the Company of its obligations under

the Company or any Subsidiary, or any agreement or instrument of which the
Company is aware affecting the properties of the Company or any Subsidiary,
except with respect to (i), (ii) and (iv) above, for any such contravention or
conflict which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect and (e) do not and will not result in or require the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' properties.

                  Section 8.3. Validity and Binding Nature. This Agreement is,

accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applied on a
basis consistent with that of the preceding fiscal year subject, in the case of

Other than any liability incident to such Litigation Actions or provided for or

requirements of law and regulations. During the twelve-consecutive-month period

steps to withdraw from any Multiemployer Plan, except in any such case for

result in the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary of any material
liability, fine or penalty (imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or Section
502(i) of ERISA or otherwise). Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is a
member of, or contributes to, any Multiemployer Plan as to which the potential
withdrawal liability based upon the most recent actuarial report could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has any material contingent liability with respect to any
post retirement benefit under an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in
section 3(i) of ERISA), other than liability for continuation coverage described
in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA.

Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default

could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business,
credit, operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred

         shall have been made available to the Agent.

                  SECTION 11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND THEIR EFFECT.

         when due of any principal of any Loan or default and continuance
         thereof for three Business Days, in the payment when due of any
         interest on any Loan, any fees or any other amounts payable by the
         Company hereunder.

                11.1.2. Non-Payment of Other Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.
         Default in the payment when due (subject to any applicable grace
         period), whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any principal of,
         interest on or fees incurred in connection with any other Indebtedness
         of, or Guaranteed by, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (except
         (i) any such Indebtedness of any Subsidiary to the Company or to any
         other Subsidiary and (ii) any Indebtedness hereunder) and, if a default
         in the payment of interest or fees, continuance of such default for

         default in the performance or observance of any obligation or condition
         with respect to any such other Indebtedness if the effect of such
         default (subject to any applicable grace period) is to accelerate the
         maturity of any such Indebtedness or to permit the holder or holders
         thereof, or any trustee or agent for such holders, to cause such
         Indebtedness to become due and payable prior to its expressed maturity;
         provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all
         Indebtedness as to which there has occurred any default as described
         above shall equal or exceed $50,000,000.

         Significant Subsidiary becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or
         admits in writing its inability or refusal to pay, debts as they become
         due; or the Company or any Significant Subsidiary applies for, consents
         to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other
         custodian for

<PAGE>

                                      -37-

         the Company or such Significant Subsidiary or any property thereof, or
         makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or, in the
         absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, a trustee,
         receiver or other custodian is appointed for the Company or any
         Significant Subsidiary or for a substantial part of the property of any
         thereof and is not discharged within 60 days; or any warrant of
         attachment or similar legal process is issued against any substantial
         part of the property of the Company or any of its Significant
         Subsidiaries which is not released within 60 days of service; or any
         bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other case or
         proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution

         commenced in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and,
         if such case or proceeding is not commenced by the Company or such
         Significant Subsidiary it is consented to or acquiesced in by the
         Company or such Significant Subsidiary or remains for 60 days
         undismissed; or the Company or any Significant Subsidiary takes any
         corporate action to authorize, or in furtherance of, any of the
         foregoing.

                11.1.4. Non-Compliance with this Agreement. Failure by the
         Company to comply with or to perform any of the Company's covenants
         herein or any other provision of this Agreement (and not constituting
         an Event of Default under any of the other provisions of this Section
         11.1) and continuance of such failure for 60 days (or, if the Company
         failed to give notice of such noncompliance or nonperformance pursuant
         to Section 9.1.4 within one Business Day after obtaining actual
         knowledge thereof, 60 days less the number of days elapsed between the
         date the Company obtained such actual knowledge and the date the
         Company gives the notice pursuant to Section 9.1.4, but in no event
         less than one Business Day) after notice thereof to the Company from
         the Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Note.

                11.1.5. Representations and Warranties. Any representation or
         warranty made by the Company herein is untrue or misleading in any
         material respect when made or deemed made; or any schedule, statement,

         or any Bank is false or misleading in any material respect on the date
         as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified; or any
         certification made or deemed made by the Company to the Agent or any
         Bank is untrue or misleading in any material respect on or as of the
         date made or deemed made.

                11.1.6. Employee Benefit Plans. The occurrence of any of the
         following events, provided that such event would reasonably be expected
         to require payment by the Company or a Subsidiary of an amount in
         excess of $10,000,000: (i) the institution by the Company or any ERISA
         Affiliate of steps to terminate any Plan, (ii) the institution by the
         PBGC of steps to terminate any Plan; or (iii) a contribution failure
         occurs with respect to a Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under

                11.1.7. Litigation. There shall be entered against the Company

         shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending
         appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof, excluding those judgments
         or decrees for and to the extent to which the Company or any Subsidiary
         (i) is insured and with respect to which the insurer has not denied
         coverage in writing or (ii) is otherwise indemnified if the terms of
         such indemnification are satisfactory to the Required Banks.

                11.1.8. Change of Ownership. AIG shall cease to own
         beneficially, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of all of the
         outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.

                  Section 11.2. Effect of Event of Default. If any Event of
Default described in Section 11.1.3 shall occur, the Commitments (if they have
not theretofore terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and all
interest and other amounts due hereunder shall become immediately due and
payable, all without presentment, demand or notice of any kind; and, in the case
of any other Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon written request of the
Required Banks shall, declare the Commitments (if they have not theretofore
terminated) to be terminated and all Loans and all interest and other amounts
due hereunder to be due and payable, whereupon the Commitments (if they have not
theretofore terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and all
interest and other amounts due hereunder shall become immediately due and
payable, all without presentment, demand or notice of any kind. The Agent shall
promptly advise the Company and each Bank of any such declaration, but failure
to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration.

                  SECTION 12. THE AGENT.

                  Section 12.1. Authorization. Each Bank and the holder of each
Loan or interest therein authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Bank or
holder to the extent provided herein and in any other document or instrument
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and to take such other action as
may be reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3,
the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in
connection with this Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required
Banks or if required under Section 13.1, all of the Banks. The Agent shall
promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Bank or other holder its
share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Bank or
holder, and shall promptly transmit to each Bank (or share with each Bank the
contents of) each notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this
Agreement.

                  Section 12.2. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify
the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company),
ratably according to their respective Percentages, from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses
which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the
repayment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent
of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities,
damages and expenses resulting from the Agent's or its employees' or agents'
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, subject
to Section 13.5 each

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -39-

Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of
any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the
Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or
enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto to the extent
that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. All
obligations provided for in this Section 12.2 shall survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 12.3. Action on Instructions of the Required Banks. As
to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agent shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the
written instructions from (i) the Required Banks, except for instructions which
under the express provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Banks
and (ii) in the case of such instructions, from all Banks. In no event will the
Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The
relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and
principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the
Agent a trustee for any holder of a Loan or of a participation therein nor to
impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided
for herein.

                  Section 12.4. Payments. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to
assume that each Bank has made its Loan available in accordance with Section 2.3
or Section 3.2(c), as applicable, unless such Bank notifies the Agent at its
Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date for
such Loan that it does not intend to make such Loan available, it being
understood that no such notice shall relieve such Bank of any of its obligations
under this Agreement. If the Agent makes any payment to the Company on the
assumption that a Bank has made the proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent
but such Bank has not in fact made the proceeds of such Loan available to the
Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount
of such Bank's Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses
from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which
the proceeds of such Bank's Loan become immediately available to the Agent at
its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds
Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. A certificate of the
Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section
12.4(a) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the proceeds of such
Bank's Loan are not made available to the Agent at its Payment Office by such
Bank within three Business Days of such Funding Date, the Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days' demand from the Company,
together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such
Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become
immediately available to the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i)
in the case of a Bid Loan, at the rate per annum applicable thereto and (ii) in
the case of a Committed Loan, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate
Loans hereunder, in either case based upon a year of 360 days. Nothing in this
paragraph (a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have hereunder to
make any Loan or prejudice any rights which the Company may have against any
Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

                                      -40-

                  (b) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Company has
made all payments due hereunder from the Company on the due date thereof unless
it receives notification prior to any such due date from the Company that the
Company does not intend to make any such payment, it being understood that no
such notice shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this
Agreement. If the Agent distributes any payment to a Bank hereunder in the
belief that the Company has paid to the Agent the amount thereof but the Company
has not in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Bank shall pay to the Agent
on demand (which shall be made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount
equal to the amount of the payment made by the Agent to such Bank, together with
interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including the date on which
the Agent made such payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the
amount of such payment is returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in
immediately available funds prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the
Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. If the
amount of such payment is not returned to the Agent in immediately available
funds within three Business Days after demand by the Agent, such Bank shall pay
to the Agent on demand an amount calculated in the manner specified in the
preceding sentence after substituting the term "Base Rate" for the term "Federal
Funds Rate". A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to
amounts owing under this Section 12.4(b) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error.

                  Section 12.5. Exculpation. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters, and upon this Agreement and any
Note, security agreement, schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or
other writing which it believes to be genuine or to have been presented by a
proper person. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents shall (i) be responsible for any recitals, representations or
warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Note or any other
instrument or document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (ii) be
deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
until after having received actual notice thereof from the Company or a Bank,
(iii) be under any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing
matters, or to make any inquiry concerning the performance by the Company or any
other obligor of its obligations or (iv) in any event, be liable as such for any
action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The agency hereby created shall in no way
impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or
obligations upon, the Agent in its individual capacity.

                  Section 12.6. Credit Investigation. Each Bank acknowledges,
and shall cause each Assignee or Participant to acknowledge in its assignment or
participation agreement with such Bank, that it has (i) made and will continue
to make such inquiries and has taken and will take such care on its own behalf
as would have been the case had the Loans been made directly by such Bank or
other applicable Person to the Company without the intervention of the Agent or
any other Bank and (ii) independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any
other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made and will continue to make its own credit analysis and
decisions relating to this Agreement. Each Bank agrees and acknowledges, and
shall cause each Assignee or Participant to agree and acknowledge in its
assignment or participation agreement with such Bank, that the Agent makes

<PAGE>

                                      -41-

no representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of the Company or
any other party to this Agreement or with respect to the legality, validity,
sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note.

                  Section 12.7. CUSA and Affiliates. CUSA and each of its
successors as Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other
Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not
the Agent, and CUSA and any such successor and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage, and continue to engage, in
any kind of business with the Company or any Affiliate thereof as if CUSA or
such successor were not the Agent hereunder.

                  Section 12.8. Resignation. The Agent may resign as such at any
time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Company and the Banks. In the
event of any such resignation, Banks having an aggregate Percentage of more than
50% shall as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Agent from among the
Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Agent shall
have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent from among the
Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
thereof or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the
United States of America and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided
profits of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all
further duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent under this Agreement.

                  Section 12.9. The Register; the Notes.

                  (a) The Agent, acting on behalf of the Company, shall maintain
a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Banks and the
Commitments and Loans of each Bank from time to time (the "Register"). The
Company, the Banks, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is inscribed
in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Agent, or any
Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (b) The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments
and the Bid Loans and Committed Loans from time to time of each Bank, the amount
of each Bank's participation in outstanding Bid Loans and Committed Loans and
each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Bid Loans
and Committed Loans of each Bank, the principal amount owing from time to time
by the Company in respect of each Bid Loan and each Committed Loan to each Bank
of such Loans and the dates on which the Loan Period for each such Loan shall
begin and end. Any such inscription shall be conclusive and binding on the
Company and each

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -42-

Bank, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any
such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall not affect any of the
Company's obligations in respect of the applicable Loans. The inscription in the
Register of the principal amount owing from time to time by the Company in
respect of each Loan shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable covenant
by the Company in favor of the Person whose name is so inscribed as the Bank in
respect of such Loan that the Company will make all payments of principal and
interest in respect of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, make all
other payments required by this Agreement to be made by it in respect of such
Loan and otherwise perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in full
and by the due date.

                  (c) Each Bank shall record on its internal records the amount
of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided that in
the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Bank's records, the
inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest or demonstrable
error.

                  (d) If so requested by any Bank by written notice to the
Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior
to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Company shall execute and
deliver to such Bank (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is
an assignee of such Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1 hereof) promptly after
receipt of such notice, a Bid Note or Committed Note, as applicable,
substantially in the form of Exhibit D or Exhibit E hereto, respectively.

                  SECTION 13. GENERAL.

                  Section 13.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the
Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Loan in the exercise of any right, power
or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No
amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision
of this Agreement or the Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Agent and by Banks having an
aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly
designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as
to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Banks, and then
any amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment,
modification, waiver or consent (i) shall extend (other than in accordance with
Section 13.8(a)) or increase the amount of the Commitments, extend the maturity
of any Commitment or Loan, change the definition of "Required Banks" or
"Percentage" in Section 1, amend or modify Section 4.1, or change any of the
defined terms used in Section 4.1, amend or modify Section 4.4, Section 4.5,
Section 4.7, Section 11.1.1, Section 11.1.8, or this Section 13.1 or otherwise
change the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification,
waiver or consent without the written consent of all Banks, (ii) shall modify or
waive any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 10.1 for the making
of any Loan without the written consent of the Bank which is to make such Loan
or (iii) shall extend the scheduled maturity or reduce the principal amount of,
or rate of interest on, reduce or waive any fee hereunder or extend the due date
for or waive any amount payable under, any Loan without the written consent of
the holder of the Commitment or Loan adversely affected thereby. Amendments,
modifications, waivers and consents of the type described in

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -43-

clause (iii) of the preceding sentence with respect to Bid Loans or Bid Notes
may be effected with the written consent of the holder of such Bid Loans or Bid
Notes and no consent of any other Bank or other holder shall be required in
connection therewith. No provisions of Section 12 shall be amended, modified or
waived without the Agent's written consent.

                  Section 13.2. Notices. (a) All notices, requests and demands
to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be either (x) in
writing (including by telecopy, encrypted or unencrypted) or (y) as and to the
extent set forth in Section 13.2(b) and in the proviso to this Section 13.2(a),
and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been
duly given or made when delivered or, in the case of telecopy or e-mail notice,
when received, addressed to the Company, the Agent, or such Bank (or other
holder) at its address shown across from its name on Schedule III hereto or at
such other address as it may, by written notice received by the other parties to
this Agreement, have designated as its address for such purpose; provided, that
notices hereunder shall not be given or made to the Company by e-mail; provided,
further, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agent or the Banks
pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 3.2(a) or 5.2 shall not be effective until
received.

         (b)      So long as CUSA or any of its Affiliates is the Agent, the
Company shall, if in its reasonable determination it is able to do so, provide
to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated
to furnish to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and
other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i)
relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or
other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or
interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal
or other amount due under this Agreement, (iii) relates to requests for material
modifications to this Agreement; (iv) relates to requests for material waivers
of any provisions of this Agreement; (v) relates to any material non-public
information of the Company; (vi) provides notice of any Event of Default or

credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein
collectively as "Communications"), by transmitting the Communications in an
electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Agent to
oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. The Company agrees that the Agent may make the
Communications available to the Banks by posting the Communications on
Intralinks, Fixed Income Direct or a substantially similar electronic
transmission system (the "Platform"). The Company acknowledges that (i) the
distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure
and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available", and
(iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy or
completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and each
expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or
the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE
DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE
PLATFORM.

                  (c)      Each Bank agrees that Communications may be made
available to such Bank as provided above, agrees to provide to the Agent,
promptly after the date of this Agreement, an e-mail address for receipt of each
notice to such Bank that Communications have been posted on the Platform, and
agrees that such notice to such Bank of such posting shall constitute effective
delivery of such Communications to such Bank hereunder.

                  Section 13.3. Computations. Where the character or amount of
any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be
determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to
be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation
shall, at any time and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise
specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America applied on a basis
consistent with those in effect as at the date of the Company's audited
financial statements referred to in Section 8.4. If there should be any material
change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America after the date hereof which materially affects the financial covenants
in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith
appropriate revisions of such covenants (it being understood, however, that such
covenants shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their
existing terms pending the execution by the Company and the Required Banks of
any such amendment).

                  Section 13.4. Assignments; Participations. Each Bank may
assign, or sell participations in, its Loans and its Commitment to one or more
other Persons in accordance with this Section 13.4 (and the Company consents to
the disclosure of any information obtained by any Bank in connection herewith to
any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant).

                  Section 13.4.1. Assignments. Any Bank may with the written
consents of the Company and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible
Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made being herein
called an "Assignee") all or any fraction of such Bank's Loans and Commitment
(which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
percentage of such assigning Bank's Loans and Commitment); each such assignment
of a Bank's Commitment shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that any such
Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in the first
sentence of Section 6.4(b) and in Section 6.4(c), Section 6.4(d), Section 6.4(e)
and Section 6.4(g) and shall be deemed to have made, on the date of the
effectiveness of such assignment and delegation, the representation and warranty
set forth in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b); and provided, further, that
the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and
directly with such assigning Bank in connection with the interests so assigned
and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Bank and/or such Assignee
shall have:

                           (i) given written notice of such assignment and
                  delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and
                  related information with respect to such Assignee,
                  substantially in the form of Exhibit I, to the Company and the
                  Agent;

                         (ii) provided evidence satisfactory to the Company and
                  the Agent that, as

                                Credit Agreement
<PAGE>

                                      -45-

                  of the date of such assignment and delegation, the Company
                  will not be required to pay any costs, fees, taxes or other
                  amounts of any kind or nature with respect to the interest
                  assigned in excess of those payable by the Company with
                  respect to such interest prior to such assignment;

                         (iii) paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent a
                  processing fee of $2,500; and

                         (iv) provided to the Agent evidence reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Agent that the assigning Bank has complied
                  with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the
Agent, (x) the Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party
hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned and delegated to such Ass      ignee, such Assignee shall have the
rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other instruments and
documents executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Bank, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by
it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may from time to
time (and upon the request of the Company or any Bank after any change therein
shall) distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the Banks party
hereto or the respective Percentages of such Banks and update the Register.
Within five Business Days after the Company's receipt of notice from the Agent
of the effectiveness of any such assignment and delegation, if requested by the
Assignee in accordance with Section 12.9, the Company shall execute and deliver
to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Notes in favor of such
Assignee and, if the assigning Bank has retained Loans and a Commitment
hereunder and if so requested by such Bank in accordance with Section 12.9,
replacement Notes in favor of the assigning Bank (such Notes to be in exchange
for, but not in payment of, the Notes previously held by such assigning Bank).
Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes. The assigning
Bank shall promptly mark the predecessor Notes, if any, "exchanged" and deliver
them to the Company. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in
accordance with this Section 13.4.1 shall be null and void.

         The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case
of, and this Section 13.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer
by any Bank of all or any portion of such Bank's Loans or Commitment to (i) any
Federal Reserve Bank (provided, that such Federal Reserve Bank shall not be
considered a "Bank" for purposes of this Agreement) or (ii) any Affiliate of
such Bank (provided, that the assigning or transferring Bank shall give notice
of such assignment or transfer to the Agent and the Company). Further, the
foregoing consent requirement of the Company shall not be applicable if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing.

         The Company, each Bank, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that
after receipt by the Agent of the items and consents required by this Section
each Assignee shall be considered a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement
(including without limitation Sections 6.4, 7.1, 7.4, 13.5 and 13.6) and by its
acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -46-

be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation
Section 6.4).

                  Section 13.4.2. Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell
to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any such commercial bank or
other Person being herein called a "Participant") participating interests in any
of its Loans, its Commitment or any other interest of such Bank hereunder;
provided, however, that

                  (a) no participation contemplated in this Section 13.4.2 shall
         relieve such Bank from its Commitment or its other obligations
         hereunder;

                  (b) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the
         performance of its Commitment and such other obligations hereunder and
         such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the
         obligations of the Company hereunder, including the right to approve
         any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
         Agreement (subject to Section 13.4.2(d) below);

                  (c) the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely
         and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and
         obligations under this Agreement;

                  (d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of
         such Bank, or is itself a Bank, shall be entitled to require such Bank
         to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, except that such
         Bank may agree with any Participant that such Bank will not, without
         such Participant's consent, take any actions of the type described in
         the third sentence of Section 13.1;

                  (e) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under
         Sections 4.1, 6.4 or 7.1 that is greater than the amount which the
         Company would have been required to pay had no participating interest
         been sold;

                  (f) no Participant may further participate any interest in any
         Committed Loan (and each participation agreement shall contain a
         restriction to such effect);

                  (g) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each
         Participant shall be considered a Bank for purposes of Section 6.4,
         Section 7.1, Section 7.4, Section 13.5 and Section 13.6 and by its
         acceptance of a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or any
         other interest of a Bank hereunder, each Participant agrees (i) that it
         is bound by, and agrees to deliver all documentation required under,
         the provisions of Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.4 as if such Participant
         were a Bank, and (ii) it is not entitled to any benefits under Section
         6.4 or Section 7.1 unless it is in full compliance with all
         requirements imposed on Banks under any of those Sections; and

                  (h) such Bank shall have provided to the Agent evidence
         reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank has complied with
         the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

         Any Bank (a "Granting Bank") may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle organized

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -47-

under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a "SPV") of
such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide
to the Company all or any part of its Loans that such Granting Bank would
otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, that (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for purposes of
this Section 13.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
SPV to make any Loan, (iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall
be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iv) the Company
shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 13.5 or 13.6 that is
greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had
such SPV not provided the Company with any part of any Loan of such Granting
Bank. The making of a Loan by a SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of
the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such
Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for
any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (any indemnity,
liability or other payment obligation, including but not limited to any tax
liabilities that occur by reason of such funding by the SPV, shall remain the
obligation of the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full
of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it
will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against,
such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In
addition, notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Section 13.4.2,
any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the
Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee
therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting
Bank providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV
to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This paragraph may not be amended
without the written consent of any SPV at the time holding all or any part of
any Loans under this Agreement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed).

                  Section 13.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to
pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent
(including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the
Agent (and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel)), in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement, the Notes and all other instruments or documents provided for herein
or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b) all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses and allocated costs of staff counsel) incurred by the Agent and each
Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any such
other instruments or documents. Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent for such
Bank's pro rata share (based upon its respective Percentage) of any such costs
or expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of all the Banks and not paid by the
Company other than any fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent
which exceed the amount which the Company has agreed with the Agent to
reimburse. In addition, the Company agrees to pay, and to hold the Agent and the
Banks harmless from all

                                Credit Agreement

liability for, any stamp or other Taxes which may be payable in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the
issuance of the Notes (if any) or the execution and delivery of any other
instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered
hereunder or in connection herewith. All obligations provided for in this
Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or
any termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 13.6. Indemnification. In consideration of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Banks, the Company
hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Banks, the Agent, the
Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent, and each of the officers,
directors, employees and agents of the Banks, the Agent and the Affiliates of
each of the Banks and the Agent (collectively herein called the "Bank Parties"
and individually called a "Bank Party") free and harmless from and against any
and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements (collectively herein called the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by the Bank Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of,
or relating to (i) this Agreement, the Notes (if any) or the Loans or (ii) the
direct or indirect use of proceeds of any of the Loans or any credit extended
hereunder, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of
such Bank Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and if and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the
Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. The Company agrees not to assert any claim against the Bank
Parties on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or
punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the
Notes (if any) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. All obligations provided
for in this Section 13.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of
the Notes (if any) or any termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 13.7. Regulation U. Each Bank represents that it in
good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any margin stock
(as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System) as collateral security for the extension or
maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

                  Section 13.8. Extension of Termination Dates; Removal of
Banks; Substitution of Banks. (a) Not more than 60 days nor less than 45 days
prior to the then-effective Termination Date, the Company may, at its option,
request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend their scheduled
Termination Dates by an additional one year period, or such shorter period as
agreed upon by the Company and the Agent, by means of a letter, addressed to
each such Bank and the Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Each such
Bank electing (in its sole discretion) so to extend its scheduled Termination
Date shall execute and deliver not earlier than the 30th day nor later than the
20th day prior to the then-effective Termination Date counterparts of such
letter to the Company and the Agent, who shall notify the Company, in writing,
of the Banks' decisions no later than 15 days prior to the existing Termination
Date, whereupon (unless Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 25%
decline to extend their respective scheduled Termination Dates, in which event
the Agent shall notify all the Banks thereof and no such extension shall occur)
such Bank's scheduled Termination Date shall be

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -49-

extended, effective only as of the date that is such Bank's then-current
scheduled Termination Date, to the date that is one year, or such shorter period
as agreed as provided above, after such Bank's then-current scheduled
Termination Date. Any Bank that declines or fails to respond to the Company's
request for such extension shall be deemed to have not extended its scheduled
Termination Date.

                  (b) With respect to any Bank (i) on account of which the
Company is required to make any deductions or withholdings or pay any additional
amounts, as contemplated by Section 6.4, (ii) on account of which the Company is
required to pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 7.1, (iii)
for which it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, as contemplated by Section
7.3 or (iv) which has declined to extend such Bank's scheduled Termination Date
and Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 75% have elected to extend
their respective Termination Dates, the Company may in its discretion, upon not
less than 30 days' prior written notice to the Agent and each Bank, remove such
Bank as a party hereto. Each such notice shall specify the date of such removal
(which shall be a Business Day and, if such Bank has any outstanding Bid Loans,
shall (unless otherwise agreed by such Bank) be on or after the last day of the
Loan Period for the Bid Loan of such Bank having the latest maturity date),
which shall thereupon become the scheduled Termination Date for such Bank.

                  (c) In the event that any Bank does not extend its scheduled
Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above or is the subject of a notice
of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above, then, at any time prior to the
Termination Date for such Bank (a "Terminating Bank"), the Company may, at its
option, arrange to have one or more other Eligible Assignees (which may be a
Bank or Banks, or if not a Bank, shall be acceptable to the Agent (such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and each of which shall
herein be called a "Successor Bank") with the approval of the Agent (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) succeed to all or a
percentage of the Terminating Bank's outstanding Loans, if any, and rights under
this Agreement and assume all or a like percentage (as the case may be) of such
Terminating Bank's undertaking to make Loans pursuant hereto and other
obligations hereunder (as if (i) in the case of any Bank electing not to extend
its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Successor
Bank had extended its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to such subsection (a)
and (ii) in the case of any Bank that is the subject of a notice of removal
pursuant to sub-section (b) above, no such notice of removal had been given by
the Company); provided, that prior to replacing any Terminating Bank with any
Successor Bank, the Company shall have given each Bank which has agreed to
extend its Termination Date an opportunity to increase its Commitment by all or
a portion of the Terminating Banks' Commitments. Such succession and assumption
shall be effected by means of one or more agreements supplemental to this
Agreement among the Terminating Bank, the Successor Bank, the Company and the
Agent. On and as of the effective date of each such supplemental agreement (i)
each Successor Bank party thereto shall be and become a Bank for all purposes of
this Agreement and to the same extent as any other Bank hereunder and shall be
bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement in the same manner as
any other Bank and (ii) the Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account
of the Agent a processing fee of $2,500 for each such Successor Bank which is
not a Bank.

                  (d) On the Termination Date for any Terminating Bank, such
Terminating Bank's

                                Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                      -50-

Commitment shall terminate and the Company shall pay in full all of such
Terminating Bank's Loans (except to the extent assigned pursuant to subsection
(c) above) and all other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder (including any
amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.4 on account of such payment); provided,
that if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date
scheduled as any Terminating Bank's Termination Date, payment of such
Terminating Bank's Loans shall be postponed to (and, for purposes of calculating
facility fees under Section 4.4, utilization fees under Section 4.5 and
determining the Required Banks (except as provided below), but for no other
purpose, such Terminating Bank's Commitment shall continue until) the first
Business Day thereafter on which (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default exists (without regard to any waiver or amendment that makes this
Agreement less restrictive for the Company, other than as described in clause
(ii) below) or (ii) the Required Banks (which for purposes of this subsection
(d) shall be determined based upon the respective Percentages and aggregate
Commitments of all Banks other than any Terminating Bank whose scheduled
Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this proviso) waive or amend the
provisions of this Agreement to cure all existing Events of Default or Unmatured
Events of Default or agree to permit any borrowing hereunder notwithstanding the
existence of any such event. In the event that CUSA or its Affiliates shall
become a Terminating Bank, the Required Banks with the consent of the Company
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall appoint
another Bank or other Person as Agent, which shall have all of the rights and
obligations of the Agent upon the effective date of and pursuant to an agreement
supplemental hereto among the Company and the Banks, and thereupon CUSA, as
Agent, shall be relieved from its obligations as Agent hereunder, it being
understood that the provisions of Section 12 shall inure to the benefit of CUSA
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under
this Agreement. If no such successor Agent shall be appointed within 30 days of
the Termination Date of the Agent, then the Agent shall, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
12.8 for a resigning Agent.

                  (e) To the extent that all or a portion of any Terminating
Bank's obligations are not assumed pursuant to subsection (c) above, the
Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced on the applicable Termination Date and
each Bank's percentage of the reduced Aggregate Commitment shall be revised pro
rata to reflect such Terminating Bank's absence. The Agent shall distribute a
revised Schedule I indicating such revisions promptly after the applicable
Termination Date and update the Register accordingly. Such revised Schedule I
shall be deemed conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

                  (f) The Agent agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to
assist the Company in locating one or more commercial banks or other financial
institutions to replace any Terminating Bank prior to such Terminating Bank's
Termination Date.

                  Section 13.10. Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT AND

Company and the rights of the Agent, the Banks and any other holders of the
Loans expressed herein or in the Notes (if any) shall be in addition to and not
in limitation of those provided by applicable law. Whenever possible each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

                  Section 13.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on
separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same Agreement. When counterparts of this Agreement executed by each party shall
have been lodged with the Agent (or, in the case of any Bank as to which an
executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Agent shall have
received facsimile or other written confirmation of execution of a counterpart
hereof by such Bank), this Agreement shall become effective as of the date
hereof and the Agent shall so inform all of the parties hereto.

                  Section 13.12. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to do
such other acts and things, and to deliver to the Agent and each Bank such
additional agreements, powers and instruments, as the Agent or any Bank may
reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this
Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Agent and each Bank their
respective rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

                  Section 13.13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the Company, the Banks and the Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Banks
and the Agent and the respective successors and assigns of the Banks and the
Agent. Subject to Section 9.9, the Company may not assign any of its rights or
delegate any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of all of the Banks.

                  Section 13.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY, THE AGENT
AND EACH BANK HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY
AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE
FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING
RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

                  Section 13.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company
acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary relationship
with, or fiduciary duty to, the Company arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, the Notes (if any) or the transactions contemplated hereby, and
the relationship between the Agent and the Banks, on the one hand, and the
Company, on the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of
creditor and debtor. This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the
parties.

the contrary notwithstanding, each party hereto (and each party's employees,
representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of this
Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax

reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.
