exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender's Commitment; provided
that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Revolving Loans of any Lender plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's
Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender's Commitment, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section
2.1, prepay under Section 2.5, and reborrow under this Section 2.1. Revolving
Loans shall be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.

         2.2 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans. (c)
Each Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other
and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans for a new Interest Period shall
be made upon the Borrowers' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent,
which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 9:30 a.m., Pacific Coast time, (i) three
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate
Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers.
Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of
$1,000,000. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000. Each conversion of a
Borrowing to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple thereof (and, if such conversion is of a portion, but not all,
of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the unconverted portion of such Borrowing
shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of
$1,000,000). Each Revolving Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall
specify (i) whether the Borrowers are requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of
Revolving Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of the Borrowing,
conversion or continuation, as the case may be, (iii) the principal amount of
Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of
Revolving Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans are to be
converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Revolving Loan in a
Revolving Loan Notice or if the Borrowers fail to give a timely notice
requesting a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the applicable
Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted (on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period) to, Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers request a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such
Revolving Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, they will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

                                       16

         (b) Following receipt of a Revolving Loan Notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of the applicable Borrowing, and if no timely notice of continuation is
provided by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of
the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the
amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's Office not later than
12:00 noon, Pacific Coast time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable
Revolving Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth
in Section 4.2 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section
4.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting the
account of one of the Borrowers on the books of Bank of America with the amount
of such funds.

         (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no
Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans
without the consent of the Required Lenders.

         (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and
the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The
determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America's prime
rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.

         (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving
Loans from one Type to the other and all continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans,
(i) there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect and (ii) each
Lender shall have its Pro Rata Share of all Base Rate Loans and of each group of
Eurodollar Loans having the same Interest Period.

         2.3 Letters of Credit.

         2.3.1 The Letter of Credit Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, (1) from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of
the Borrowers, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it,
in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the
Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters
of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers; provided that the L/C Issuer
shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any
Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter
of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Total
Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender plus such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed
such Lender's Commitment or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers' ability to obtain
Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may,
during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of
Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The
Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto,
and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the
terms and conditions hereof.

                                       17
<PAGE>

         (b) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if:

              (1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from
issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or
request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date
and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

              (2) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
more than twelve months after the date of the issuance or last renewal thereof,
unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;

              (3) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved
such expiry date; or

              (4) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or
more policies of the L/C Issuer.

         (c) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of
Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to
such Letter of Credit.

         2.3.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

         (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers.
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent not later than 9:30 a.m., Pacific Coast time, at least two
Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a
particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date
or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an
initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed
issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);
(B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary
in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an
amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall
be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         (b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing)
that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit
Application from the Borrowers and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or
amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue
a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or enter into the applicable
amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's
usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such
Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

         (c) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any
amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to
the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.

         (d) From time to time, any Lender may request from the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent promptly shall provide, a summary of all
outstanding Letters of Credit.

         2.3.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

         (a) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 9:30
a.m., Pacific Coast time, on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a
Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrowers shall
reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to
the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer
by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount")
and such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the
Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for Base Rate Loans, but subject
to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Loan
Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Section 2.3.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not
affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

         (b) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon
any notice pursuant to Section 2.3.3(a) make funds available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative
Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed
Amount not later than 12:00 noon, Pacific Coast time, on the Business Day
specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.3.3(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall
be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

         (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of
the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3.3(b) shall be
deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.3.

         (d) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant
to this Section 2.3.3 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

         (e) Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by this Section 2.3.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the L/C Issuer, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default,
or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing; provided that each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section
4.2. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made
by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided
herein.

         (f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3.3 by the time specified
in Section 2.3.3(b), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A
certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection
(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                                       19
<PAGE>

         2.3.4 Repayment of Participations.

         (a) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any
Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.3.3, if the Administrative
Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment related to such
Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including
proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any
payment of interest thereon, then (subject to Section 2.3.3(d) above) the
Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof
in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

         (b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3.3(a) is required to be returned, each
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect.

         2.3.5 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to
repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is
refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

         (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

         (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other
right that the Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or
transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary
or transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such
Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any
unrelated transaction;

         (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under
such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

         (d) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such
Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,
receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

         (e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrowers' instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrowers will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

                                       20
<PAGE>

         2.3.6 Role of L/C Issuer. The Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Agent-Related Person
nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall
be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection
herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required
Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness,
validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks
of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its
use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to,
and shall not, preclude the Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as
they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the correspondents, participants
or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the
matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.3.5; provided that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have
a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the
Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer's willful misconduct or gross
negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and
certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter
of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

         2.3.7 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any
reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrowers shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount).

         2.3.8 Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed
by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including
any such agreement applicable to the Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules
of the "International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and
(ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as
most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") at
the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on
Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single
currency (euro)), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

         2.3.9 Letter of Credit Fees. 1. The Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of
Credit equal to the LC Fee Rate from time to time in effect for such type of
Letter of Credit multiplied by the actual daily maximum amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be
due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December, on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.

         (b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay directly to the
L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee in an amount (i) with respect to
each commercial Letter of Credit, equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Letter
of Credit, due and payable upon the issuance thereof, and (ii) with respect to
each standby Letter of Credit, equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily maximum
amount available to be drawn thereunder, due and payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each March, June, September and December on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other
standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as
from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand
and are nonrefundable.

         2.3.10 Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control.

         2.4 Swing Line Loans.

         2.4.1 The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a "Swing
Line Loan") to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date to the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line
Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated
with the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender, may
exceed the amount of the Swing Line Lender's Commitment; provided that after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Revolving Loans of any Lender plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's
Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.4, prepay under
Section 2.5, and reborrow under this Section 2.4; provided that the Swing Line
Lender may terminate or suspend the Swing Line at any time in its sole
discretion upon notice to the Borrowers. Immediately upon the making of a Swing
Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a participation
in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro
Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

         2.4.2 Borrowing Procedures. Unless the Swing Line Lender has notified
the Borrowers that the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended as provided
in Section 2.4.1, the Borrowers may give irrevocable notice (which notice may be
given by telephone) to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
requested Swing Line Loan. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, Pacific Coast
time, on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and (ii) the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic
notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers. Promptly after
receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the
Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan
Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. In addition, the Swing
Line Lender may at any time, and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the
Swing Line Lender to, deliver a Swing Line Notice to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Borrowers to fund any overdraft in either Borrower's account
maintained with Bank of America; provided that the aggregate amount of all
outstanding Swing Line Loans so requested by the Swing Line Lender shall not at
any time exceed $2,000,000. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by
telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request
of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m., Pacific Coast time, on the date of the
proposed Swing Line Loan, (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such
Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the
first sentence of Section 2.4.1, or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00
p.m., Pacific Coast time, on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line
Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers
at its office by crediting an account of one of the Borrowers on the books of
the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

         2.4.3 Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 1. The Swing Line Lender at any
time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers
(which hereby irrevocably request the Swing Line Lender to so request on its
behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. The Swing
Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Revolving
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.
Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount
specified in such Revolving Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent's Office not later than 12:00 noon, Pacific Coast time, on
the day specified in such Revolving Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section
2.4.3(b), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made
a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

         (b) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by a
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a), the Revolving Loan Notice
submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing
Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan and each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4.3(a) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

         (c) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4.3 by the time
specified in Section 2.4.3(a), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing
Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
subsection (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         (d) Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and
fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, either Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default or Event of Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender's
obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. Any such purchase of participations
shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay
Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

         2.4.4 Repayment of Participations. 1. At any time after any Lender has
purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line
Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line
Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period
of time during which such Lender's participation was outstanding and funded) in
the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

         (b) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the
Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata
Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand
upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

         2.4.5 Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender
shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line
Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation pursuant to
this Section 2.4 to refinance such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line
Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account
of the Swing Line Lender.

                                       23
<PAGE>

         2.4.6 Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make
all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans
directly to the Swing Line Lender.

         2.5 Prepayments.

         2.5.1 Prepayments of Revolving Loans. The Borrowers may, upon notice to
the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 9:30
a.m., Pacific Coast time, (A) three Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base
Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; and (iii) any
prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a
higher integral multiple of $100,000 (except that, if at any time Base Rate
Loans are made pursuant to Section 2.3.3(a) to refinance any Unreimbursed Amount
or pursuant to Section 2.4.3(a) to refinance any Swing Line Loan, the next
prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount so that the Outstanding
Amount of all Base Rate Loans either is (x) zero or (y) a principal amount of
$500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000). Each such notice shall
specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Revolving
Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender
of its receipt of each such notice and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5. Each such prepayment shall
be applied to the Revolving Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares.

         2.5.2 Prepayments of Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers may, upon notice
to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time
or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon,
Pacific Coast time, on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment
shall be in a principal amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 (except
that, if at any time Swing Line Loans are made in an amount which is not an
integral multiple of $100,000 upon delivery of by the Swing Line Lender of a
Swing Line Notice as contemplated by Section 2.4.2, the next prepayment of Swing
Line Loans shall be in an amount so that the Outstanding Amount of all Swing
Line Loans is either (x) zero or (y) an integral multiple of $100,000). Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein.

         2.6 Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Borrowers may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or
permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments to an amount not less than the
Total Outstandings; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 9:30 a.m., Pacific Coast time, at least five
Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such
partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher
integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the Lenders of any such notice of reduction or termination of the Aggregate
Commitments. Once reduced in accordance with this Section, the Aggregate
Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments
shall be applied to reduce the amount of the Commitment of each Lender according
to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

         2.7 Repayment of Loans. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all
Loans outstanding on such date.

                                       24
<PAGE>

         2.8 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below,
(i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period thereof at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Margin from time to
time in effect; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect;
and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect.

         (b) If any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is
not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), such amount
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law. Furthermore, upon request of the Required Lenders while any Event of
Default exists (and, in any event, after acceleration), the Borrowers shall pay
interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due
amounts (including, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest on past
due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

         (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

         2.9 Fees. In addition to the fees described in Section 2.3.9:

         2.9.1 Commitment Fee. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Rate from time
to time in effect multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate
Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and
(ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue
at all times from the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date and
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March,
June, September and December and on the Commitment Termination Date. The
commitment fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one
or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met.

         2.9.2 Arrangement and Agency Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay an arrangement fee to the Arranger for the Arranger's own account,
and to pay an agency fee to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative
Agent's own account, in the amounts and at the times specified in the letter
agreement dated November 14, 2001 (the "Fee Letter") among RMC, the Arranger and
the Administrative Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be
nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

         2.9.3 Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender an upfront fee in an amount
previously agreed to among the Borrowers, the Arranger and such Lender. Such
upfront fees are for the credit facilities committed by the Lenders under this
Agreement and are fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each
Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable for any reason
whatsoever.

         2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Base Rate Loans when
the Base Rate is determined by reference to Bank of America's "prime rate" shall
be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
the actual number of days elapsed. All other interest and all fees shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee thereof than a method
based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the
day on which such Loan is made, but shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest
for one day.

                                       25
<PAGE>

         2.11 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender
and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts
or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure
to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Loans or L/C Obligations. In the event of any conflict between
the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records
of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon
the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, such Lender's
Loans may be evidenced by a Revolving Note and/or a Swing Line Note, as
applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount and maturity of the applicable Loans and payments with respect thereto.

         (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection
(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by
such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.

         2.12 Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers
shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not
later than 11:00 a.m., Pacific Coast time, on the date specified herein. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share
(or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as
received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All payments received
by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m., Pacific Coast time, shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue.

         (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day
other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or
fees, as the case may be.

         (c) Unless a Borrower or a Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case
may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, timely made such payment and may
(but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a
corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that
such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds, then:

             (i) if the Borrowers failed to make such payment, each Lender shall
forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available
funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including
the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such
Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect; and

             (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall
forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in
immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from
the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the
"Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from
time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the
applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a
demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to
the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation
Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the
applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of
any default by such Lender hereunder.

                                       26
<PAGE>

A notice of the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers or any Lender with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

         (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for
any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of
this Article 2, and the conditions to such set forth in Article 4 are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

         (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans
and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several
and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan or to fund
any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make any
Revolving Loan or purchase any such participation.

         (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

         2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of its Revolving Loans, or
its participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans, any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off,
or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated
hereunder) of payments received by all Lenders on account of all Revolving Loans
and all such participations, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Revolving Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations
in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as
the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment in respect of such Revolving Loans or such participations, as
the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion
of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such
purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to
the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i)
the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount
of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall
be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations
purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following
any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation
pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to
give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under
this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the
same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the
Obligations purchased.

                                       27
<PAGE>

         2.14 Optional Increase in Aggregate Commitments. The Borrowers may from
time to time prior to December 14, 2003 (but only so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists), by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent
substantially in the form of Exhibit H, request that the amount of the Aggregate
Commitments be increased by (a) increasing the amount of the Commitment of any
Lender which has agreed to such increase and/or (b) adding an Eligible Assignee
as a party hereto with a Commitment in an amount agreed to by any such Person;
provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of all increases in the
Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 exceed $50,000,000 without
the written consent of all Lenders. Any increase in the Aggregate Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be effective three Business Days (or such
other period of time as the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
increasing or new Lender agree) after the date on which the Administrative Agent
has received and accepted the applicable increase letter in the form of Annex 1
to Exhibit H (in the case of an increase in the Commitment of an existing
Lender) or assumption letter in the form of Annex 2 to Exhibit H (in the case of
the addition of a new Lender), together with (i) such other documents as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including confirmation that the
Borrowers have authorized such increase and that such increase will not conflict
with any Law or any other Contractual Obligation of the Borrowers and (ii) if
requested by the new or increasing Lender, a new Note for such Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any
increase in the amount of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.14 and of the amount of the Commitment and the Pro Rata Share of each Lender
after giving effect thereto. The Borrowers acknowledge that, in order to
maintain Revolving Loans in accordance with each Lender's Pro Rata Share, a
reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the
Aggregate Commitments may require prepayment of all or portions of certain
Revolving Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 3.5).

                                   ARTICLE 3
                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

         3.1 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers to or for the
account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes
imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in
lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or
similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If
the Borrowers shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions, (iii) the
Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days
after the date of such payment, the Borrowers shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

         (b) In addition, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay any
and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise
or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made
under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance,
enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

         (c) If the Borrowers shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or
Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of such Lender) or to such
Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender
specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all
taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) such Lender would
have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

         (d) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts
payable under Section 3.1(c) and (iii) any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection
(d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative
Agent makes a demand therefore

                                       28
<PAGE>

         (e) If either Borrower makes any additional payment to any Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.1 in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and such
Lender determines that it has received (i) a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes
or (ii) a credit against or relief or remission for, or a reduction in the
amount of, any tax or other governmental charge attributable solely to any
deduction or credit for any Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which it has
received payments under this Section 3.1, such Lender shall, to the extent that
it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such refund, credit, relief,
remission or reduction, pay to such Borrower such amount as such Lender shall
have determined to be attributable to the deduction or withholding of such Taxes
or Other Taxes. If, within one year after the payment of any such amount to such
Borrower, such Lender determines that it was not entitled to such refund,
credit, relief, remission or reduction to the full extent of any payment made
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.1(e), the Borrower shall upon
notice and demand of such Lender promptly repay the amount of such overpayment.
Any determination made by such Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall in
the absence of bad faith or manifest error be conclusive, and nothing in this
Section 3.1(e) shall be construed as requiring any Lender to conduct its
business or to arrange or alter in any respect its tax or financial affairs
(except as required by Section 3.1(e)) so that it is entitled to receive such a
refund, credit or reduction or as allowing any Person to inspect any records,
including tax returns, of any Lender.

         3.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through
the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate
a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such
notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

         3.3 Inability to Determine Rates. If, in connection with any request
for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or a conversion to or continuation
thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loans or that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate
for such Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (b) Lenders having an aggregate Pro Rata
share of 40% or more advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate
for such Eurodollar Rate Loans does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to the Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Borrowers and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation
of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to
or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to
have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in
the amount specified therein.

         3.4 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurodollar Rate Loans. (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such
Lender's compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate
Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the
amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the
foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased
costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to
which Section 3.1 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of
overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign
jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of
which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office), then from time to
time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such
Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased
cost or reduction.

                                       29
<PAGE>

         (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding
capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or
compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and
return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a
copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction.

         (c) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Lender, at
any time such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs
of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided
that the Borrowers shall have received at least 7 days' prior notice (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.
If a Lender fails to give notice 7 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment
Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 7 days from receipt of
such notice.

         3.5 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from
any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

         (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for
such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration,
or otherwise);

         (b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure
of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any
Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers;

         (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the
last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the
Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.15;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by such Lender to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any
loss of anticipated profits. The Borrowers also jointly and severally agree to
pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with
the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders
under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market
for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

                                       30

         3.6 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. 1. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation
under this Article 3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be
paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Upon any Lender's making a claim
for compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.4, the Borrowers may replace such Lender
in accordance with Section 10.15.

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 3, if any
Lender fails to notify the Borrowers of any event or circumstance which will
entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4 within 180
days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then
such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrowers for any
amount arising prior to the date which is 180 days before the date on which such
Lender notifies the Borrowers of such event or circumstance.

         3.7 Survival. All of the Borrowers' obligations under this Article 3
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations.

                                   ARTICLE 4

applicable Credit Extension.

                                   ARTICLE 5

or (d), to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

<PAGE>

         5.2 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Borrower of each Loan Document have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate or other organizational action and do not and will not
(a) contravene the terms of any of its Organization Documents; (b) conflict with
or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under,
any Contractual Obligation to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which it
or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective property is subject or (c)
violate any Law.

         5.3 Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption,
authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance by, or enforcement against, either Borrower of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.

         5.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement and the Notes have been duly
executed and delivered by each Borrower. This Agreement and the Notes constitute
legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower enforceable against such
Borrower, in accordance with their respective terms.

Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly
noted therein; (ii) fairly present the financial condition of RMC and its
Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the
period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout
the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and
(iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or
contingent, of RMC and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including
liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

         (b) The unaudited consolidated financial statements of RMC and its
Subsidiaries dated September 30, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of
income and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period
covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and subject to
ordinary, good faith year end audit adjustments; (ii) fairly present the
financial condition of RMC and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their
results of operations for the period covered thereby; and (iii) show all
material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of RMC and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for
taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

         (c) Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been
no event or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         5.6 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or
disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers after due and diligent
investigation, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or
before any Governmental Authority, by or against either Borrower or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues that (a)
purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) individually or in the
aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.7 No Default. Neither RMC nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default
under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that, individually or in the
aggregate, could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of RMC and each of its
Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary
conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The real and personal property of RMC and its Subsidiaries is
subject to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 7.1.

         5.9 Environmental Compliance. Based on a reasonable review of existing
Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for
violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations
and properties, the Borrowers have reasonably concluded that such Environmental
Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       33
<PAGE>

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

         5.11 Taxes. RMC and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that
are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes
shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments
levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the
extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they
have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount of
which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount,
applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which RMC or such Subsidiary, as the
case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Neither
Borrower knows of any basis for any other tax or assessment that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals
and reserves on the books of RMC and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal,
State or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate.

         5.12 ERISA Compliance. (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or
State Laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the
Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with
respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, nothing has
occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. The
Borrowers and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each
Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver
or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code
has been made with respect to any Plan.

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

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

         5.13 Subsidiaries. (a) As of the Closing Date, RMC has no Restricted
Subsidiaries other than those listed in Part (a) of Schedule 5.13, has no
Unrestricted Subsidiaries other than those listed on Part (b) of Schedule 5.13
and has no direct or indirect equity investments in any other corporation or
entity other than those listed in Part (c) of Schedule 5.13.

         (b) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal
restriction or agreement (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on
Part (d) of Schedule 5.13 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law
statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of
profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Borrowers or
any of their Subsidiaries that own outstanding shares of capital stock or
similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

                                       34
<PAGE>

         (c) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or
other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the
failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under
lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the
business it transacts and proposes to transact.

         5.14 Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding
Company Act. (a) Neither Borrower is engaged or will engage, principally or as
one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying
margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. Less
than 25% of the assets of RMC and its subsidiaries which are subject to
restrictions under Sections 7.1 and 7.5 consist of margin stock.

         (b) None of RMC, any Person controlling RMC or any Subsidiary (i) is a
"holding company," or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company," or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company," within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
or (ii) is or is required to be registered as an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

         5.15 Disclosure. No statement, information, report, representation or
warranty made by either Borrower in this Agreement or furnished to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of either Borrower in
connection with this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

         5.16 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. RMC and its Subsidiaries
own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other
intellectual property rights (collectively, "IP Rights") that are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict
with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Borrowers, no
slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or
other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by RMC or any
Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person.

         5.17 Pari Passu. The Obligations rank at least pari passu with all
other unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrowers.

                                   ARTICLE 6
                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

         So long as any Lender has any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other

and period of the existence thereof (it being understood that such accountants
shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any failure to obtain knowledge
of any Default or Event of Default unless such accountants should have obtained
knowledge thereof in making an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards or did not make such an audit); provided that delivery within

subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes;
provided that delivery within the time period specified above of copies of RMC's

                  after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default
                  would exist;

                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

         9.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. 1. Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in
any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the
Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with
any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties.

                                       47

         (b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and
the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the
Administrative Agent in this Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued
or proposed to be issued and the application and agreements for letters of
credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
"Administrative Agent" as used in this Article 9 included the L/C Issuer with
respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with
respect to the L/C Issuer.

         (c) The Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with
respect to the Swing Line Loans and the documents associated therewith, and the
Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to
the Administrative Agent in this Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Line Loans
made or proposed to be made by it as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent"
as used in this Article 9 included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such
acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the
Swing Line Lender.

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

         9.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall
(a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by either Borrower or any officer
thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure
of either Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of either Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

         9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to either
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if
required hereby, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or
prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders otherwise determine, the
Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or
a vote of the Lenders.

         (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 4.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender
for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

         9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders,
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender
or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The
Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.
The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Article 8; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received
any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest
of the Lenders.

         9.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent
hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of either Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have
disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to
the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, and all
applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of either Borrower or any of their respective
Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

         9.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to
do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against
any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of
such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that no action
taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed
to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The
undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitments, the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent.

         9.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America
and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in
any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business
with the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America
were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice
to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding
the Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Borrower or such Affiliate) and
acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender
and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, and the terms "Lender" and
"Lenders" include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

         9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign
as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the
Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders
which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by RMC at all times
other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of RMC
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders and RMC, a successor administrative agent from among the
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative
agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor
administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent. After any
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall inure to its
benefit as to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent
has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days
following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective
and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
agent as provided for above.

         9.10 Other Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders identified on the
facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a "documentation agent"
shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under
this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so
identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking
action hereunder.

relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no

as no Event of Default exists or will result therefrom, this Agreement may be
amended with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers (I) to add one or more credit facilities to this
Agreement or to increase the Aggregate Commitments and to permit the extensions
of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and (II) to include appropriately the Lenders holding
such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

         10.2 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

         (a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices

Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to
such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other
parties, and in the case of any other party, to such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. All such notices and other

being understood and agreed that a voicemail message shall in no event be
effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.

<PAGE>

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

         (c) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notice
(including telephonic Revolving Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices)
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were
not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or
followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof,
as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Agent-Related Person and
each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the
reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of
either Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of
the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

         (d) RME hereby authorizes RMC to give and receive notices on behalf of
both Borrowers hereunder, and any notice received by RMC shall be conclusively
be deemed to have been received by RME.

         10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges provided to such Persons herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

         10.4 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrowers jointly and
severally agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation,
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any

consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or
preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan

or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding,
including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney
Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing,
recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related
thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent

         10.5 Indemnification by the Borrowers. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree
to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their
respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and
attorneys-in-fact (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions ,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs)
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of
or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or
administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
currently or formerly owned or operated by RMC or any Subsidiary or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to RMC or any Subsidiary, or (d) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to
any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory
(including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or
threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of
all the other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be
payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor.

         10.6 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such
set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its
applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect.

         10.7 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the neither
Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

                                       53
<PAGE>

         (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and its Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), its participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans)
at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the
Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of the
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder)
subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, RMC
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned and (iii)
the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 10.4 and 10.5 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment). Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and
deliver new or replacement Notes to the assigning Lender and the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

         (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by either Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

         (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone any date
upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant, or
(ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.5,
10.4 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

                                       54
<PAGE>

         (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.1 or 3.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with RMC's prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless RMC is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 10.14 as though it were a
Lender.

         (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its
Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

         (g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

         "Eligible Assignee" means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender;
         (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural
         person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and
         the Swing Line Lender, and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred
         and is continuing, RMC (each such approval not to be unreasonably
         withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing,
         "Eligible Assignee" shall not include RMC or any of RMC's Affiliates or
         Subsidiaries

         "Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will
         be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in
         commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
         course of its business.

         "Approved Fund" means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a
         Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate
         of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

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

                                       55
<PAGE>

         10.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations.

         10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         10.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written
or oral, on such subject matter. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither
against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair
meaning thereof.

         10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.

         10.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         10.14 Tax Forms. 1. Each Lender that is not a "United States person"
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to
withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest
herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption
from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person
by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrowers
pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from,
or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each
such Person shall (i) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such
additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such
successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United
States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United
States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or
reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be
made to such Person by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) promptly
notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would
modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (iii) take such
steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable
Laws that the Borrowers make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above forms or other
documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest
payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax
imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

                                       56
<PAGE>

         (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a
"United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of
IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an
amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code,
without reduction.

         (c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent
did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or
other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and
interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section, and all related costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the
Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate
Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent.

         10.15 Replacement of Lenders. Under any circumstances set forth herein
providing that the Borrowers shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party
to this Agreement, the Borrowers may, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its
Commitment (without payment of any assignment fee) pursuant to Section 10.7(b)
to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrowers;
provided that if the Borrowers elect to exercise such right with respect to any
Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, they shall be obligated to replace all Lenders
that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4.
The Borrowers shall pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts
owing to such Lender through the date of the applicable assignment (including
any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.5), assuming for such purpose that
such Lender's Loans are repaid on the date of assignment. Any Lender being
replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such Lender's Commitment and outstanding Credit Extensions. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule 2.1, which shall be deemed
incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect changes in the identities of the
Lenders and adjustments of their respective Commitments and/or Pro Rata Shares
resulting from any such replacement.

         10.16 Designation of Subsidiaries. RMC may designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary (which was not previously designated a Restricted Subsidiary) to be a
Restricted Subsidiary and any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary by giving prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that the Board of Directors of RMC has made such designation; provided
that no Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary and
no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, at
the time of such action and after giving effect thereto, a Default or Event of
Default would exist. In addition to the foregoing, any Restricted Subsidiary
which has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the
preceding sentence may not at any time thereafter again be designated as a
Restricted Subsidiary.

         10.17 Automatic Debits by Administrative Agent. On each date on which
any payment of principal, interest or fees is due hereunder or under any Note,
the Borrowers agree to have on deposit in an ordinary checking account
maintained by the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent, and designated by the
Borrowers in a written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time (the
"Borrower Account"), an amount sufficient to pay such principal, interest or
fees in full. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent (i) to
deduct automatically from the Borrower Account from time to time an amount equal
to any principal, interest or fees then due hereunder or under any Note and (ii)
if and to the extent any payment under this Agreement or any Note is not made
when due, to deduct automatically any such amount from any other account of
either Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent agrees to provide timely notice to the Borrowers of any automatic
deduction made pursuant to this Section 10.17.

         10.18 Joint and Several Liability. 1. Each Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for the payment of
all Loans and all other Obligations, and that such liability is independent of
the obligations of the other Borrower.

         (b) Each Borrower agrees that any release which may be given by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to the other Borrower or any guarantor will
not release such Borrower from its obligations under this Agreement or any Note.

         (c) Each Borrower waives any right to assert against the Administrative
Agent or any Lender any defense, setoff, counterclaim or other claim which such
Borrower may have against the other Borrower for the obligations of the
Borrowers under this Agreement.

         (d) Each Borrower agrees that it is solely responsible for keeping
itself informed of the financial condition of the other Borrower and of all
circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment by the other Borrower. Each
Borrower waives any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to disclose to such Borrower any information which the Administrative
Agent or such Lender may now or hereafter have concerning the financial
condition of the other Borrower.

         (e) The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders that each of them will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from
the collective administration and availability of credit under this Agreement.
The Borrowers agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will be
required to inquire as to the disposition by either Borrower of funds disbursed
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         (f) Notwithstanding any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or in connection herewith, such
Borrower shall not be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender against the other Borrower until all Loans and other Obligations have
been finally paid in full in cash.

         (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.18 or
any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, neither
Borrower shall be liable hereunder or under any other Loan Document for any
amount which is in excess of the maximum amount of liability which such Borrower
may incur without rendering such Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents void or voidable under any applicable Law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

         10.19 Governing Law. 1. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, the LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State; PROVIDED THAT
THE ADMINISTRATIVE Agent, THE BORROWERS AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS
ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

         10.22 Certain Waivers by Borrowers.

(or, if applicable, the Required Lenders) without notice or demand and without
affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

                  (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate, change the time for
         payment or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations of the other
         Borrower or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the
         rate of interest thereon, or otherwise change the terms of any
         documents relating to the Obligations;

                  (b) receive and hold security for the payment of the
         Obligations by the other Borrower and exchange, enforce, waive,
         release, fail to perfect, sell or otherwise dispose of any such
         security;

                  (c) apply any such security and direct the other or manner of
         sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or, if
         applicable, the Required Lenders) in its or their discretion may
         determine; and

                  (d)  release the other Borrower or any guarantor or endorser
         from any of the Obligations.

         (b)  Each Borrower waives:

                  (a) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any
         Lender to proceed against the other Borrower, proceed against or
         exhaust any security for the Obligations or pursue any other remedy
         whatsoever;

                  (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other
         defense of the other Borrower or the cessation from any cause
         whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrower;

                  (c) any defense based on any claim that such Borrower's
         obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the other
         Borrower;

                                       59

                  (d)  the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such
         Borrower's liability hereunder; and
