        Section 1.02. Accounting Terms and Determinations. Unless otherwise
specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all
accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements
required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, applied
on a basis consistent (except for changes concurred in by the Company's
independent public accountants) with the most recent audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries delivered
to the Banks; provided that, if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent
that the Company wishes to amend any covenant in Article 5 to eliminate the
effect of any change in generally accepted accounting principles on the
operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company
that the Required Banks wish to amend Article 5 for such purpose), then the
Company's compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles in effect immediately before the
relevant change in generally accepted accounting principles became effective,
until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner
satisfactory to the Company and the Required Banks.

        Section 1.03. Types of Borrowings. The term "BORROWING" denotes the
aggregation of Loans by one or more Banks to be made to a single Borrower
pursuant to Article 2 on a single date, all of which Loans (i) are made in the
same currency, (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, are of the same
type (subject to Article 8) and (iii) except in the case of Base Rate Loans,
have the same Interest Period or initial Interest Period. Borrowings are
classified for purposes of this Agreement either by reference to the currency
and/or pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing (e.g., a "EURO-DOLLAR
BORROWING" is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans) or by reference to the
provisions of Article 2 under which participation therein is determined (i.e., a
"COMMITTED BORROWING" is a Borrowing under Section 2.01 in which all Banks
participate in proportion to their Commitments, while a "COMPETITIVE BID
BORROWING" is a Borrowing under Section 2.03 in which the Bank participants are
determined on the basis of their bids in accordance therewith).

                                    ARTICLE 2
                                   THE CREDITS

        Section 2.01. Commitments to Lend. Each Bank severally agrees, on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Company
or any Eligible Subsidiary pursuant to this Section from time to time prior to
the Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each such loan is made:
(i) the

                                       21
<PAGE>

sum of the aggregate Dollar Amount of Committed Loans by such Bank plus
the Dollar Amount of its Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the
amount of its Commitment and (ii) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed
the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Each Borrowing of Dollar-Denominated
Loans under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least
$5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing
may be in the aggregate amount available in accordance with Section 3.02(c)).
Each Borrowing in an Alternative Currency shall be in an aggregate Dollar Amount
of at least $5,000,000. Each Borrowing under this Section, in any currency,
shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective
Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow under this
Section, repay, or to the extent permitted by Section 2.12, prepay Loans and
reborrow at any time prior to the Termination Date under this Section.

        Section 2.02. Notice of Committed Borrowings. The Company shall give the
Administrative Agent notice (a "NOTICE OF COMMITTED BORROWING") not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on (i) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing,
(ii) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing and
(iii) the fourth Euro-Currency Business Day before each Alternative Currency
Borrowing, specifying:

        (a) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day
in the case of a Domestic Borrowing or a Euro-Currency Business Day for the
relevant currency in the case of a Euro-Currency Borrowing;

        (b) the currency and aggregate amount (in such currency) of such
Borrowing;

        (c) if such Borrowing is comprised of Dollar-Denominated Loans, whether
such Loans are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans; and

        (d) in the case of a Euro-Currency Borrowing, the duration of the
initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the
definition of Interest Period.

        Section 2.03. Competitive Bid Borrowings.

        (a) The Competitive Bid Option. In addition to Committed Borrowings
pursuant to Section 2.01, the Company may, as set forth in this Section, request
the Banks to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to any of the Borrowers.
The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Company
may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set
forth in this Section.

        (b) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Company wishes to request
offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section, it shall transmit to
the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a Competitive Bid

                                       22

LIBOR Auction or (y) the Domestic Business Day immediately before the date of
Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in
either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent
shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than
the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or
Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying:

(i)     the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Euro-Currency Business
        Day for the relevant currency in the case of a LIBOR Auction or a

        $5,000,000 in Dollar Amount for each Borrowing in an Alternative
        Currency;

(iii)   the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the
        provisions of the definition of Interest Period; and

(iv)    if such Borrowing is comprised of Dollar-Denominated Loans, whether the
        Competitive Bid Quotes requested are to set forth a Competitive Bid
        Margin or a Competitive Bid Absolute Rate.

        The Company may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more
than one Interest Period in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request. No
Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given within five Euro-Dollar Business

        (c) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a
Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Banks

Euro-Currency Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case
of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:45 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of
Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such
other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have
mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of
the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate
Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Competitive Bid
Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate of the
Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Bank may be submitted, and may only
be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such affiliate notifies the Company
of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than (x) one
hour prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case of a LIBOR Auction,
or (y) 15 minutes prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case of an
Absolute Rate Auction. Subject to Article 3 and 6, any Competitive Bid Quote so
made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative
Agent given on the instructions of the Company.

                (i) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the
        form of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify:

                        (A) the proposed date of Borrowing,

                        (B) the currency and the principal amount (in the
                relevant currency) of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each
                such offer is being made, which principal Dollar Amount (w) may
                be greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Bank,
                (x) for each Borrowing of Dollar-Denominated Loans, must be
                $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and for each
                Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, must be at least
                $5,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of
                Competitive Bid Loans for which offers being made by such
                quoting Bank may be accepted, and (z) may be subject to an
                aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Competitive
                Bid Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Bank may
                be accepted,

                        (C) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or
                below the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (the
                "COMPETITIVE BID MARGIN") offered for each such Competitive Bid
                Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest
                1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base
                rate,

                        (D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of
                interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%)

                                       24
<PAGE>

                (the "COMPETITIVE BID ABSOLUTE RATE") offered for each such
                Competitive Bid Loan, and (E) the identity of the quoting Bank.

        A Competitive Bid Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the
quoting Bank with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related
Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.

                (ii) Any Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded if it:

                        (A) is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit D
                hereto or does not specify all of the information required by
                subsection (d)(ii);

                        (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar
                language;

                        (C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those
                set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid
                Quotes; or

                        (D) arrives after the time set forth in subsection
                (d)(i).

        (e) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the Company of the terms (x) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Bank
that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Competitive Bid Quote
that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive
Bid Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote
Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the
Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is submitted
solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The
Administrative Agent's notice to the Company shall specify (A) the aggregate
principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received
for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,
(B) the respective principal amounts and Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive
Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable,
limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which
offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be accepted.

        (f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than 10:30 A.M. (New
York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Currency Business Day prior to the
proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the proposed
date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case,
such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have
mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of
the

                                       25
<PAGE>

Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate
Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Company shall notify the
Administrative Agent of the acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so
notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such
notice (a "NOTICE OF COMPETITIVE BID BORROWING") shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The
Company may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

                (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid
        Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related
        Competitive Bid Quote Request,

                (ii) the Dollar Amount of (A) each Competitive Bid Borrowing of
        Dollar-Denominated Loans must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of
        $1,000,000 and (B) each Competitive Bid Borrowing in an Alternative
        Currency must at least be $5,000,000,

                (iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of
        ascending Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as
        the case may be, and

                (iv) the Company may not accept any offer that is described in
        subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the
        requirements of this Agreement.

        (g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or
more Banks with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute
Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the
amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest
Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such
offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such
Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000 or its equivalent in
applicable Alternative Currency, as the Administrative Agent may deem
appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.
Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid
Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

        Section 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.

        (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof (including the name of
the Borrower) and of such Bank's share (if any) of such Borrowing and such
Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by such Borrower.

        (b) On the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein
shall:

                                       26
<PAGE>

                (i) if such Borrowing is to be made in Dollars, make available
        its share of such Borrowing in Dollars, not later than 12:00 Noon (New
        York City time), in Federal or other funds immediately available in New
        York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address in New York City
        referred to in Section 11.01; or

                (ii) if such Borrowing is to be made in an Alternative Currency,
        make available its share of such Borrowing in such Alternative Currency
        (in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of
        international transactions in such Alternative Currency) to the account
        of the Administrative Agent at such time and place as shall have been
        notified by the Administrative Agent to the Banks by not less than four
        Domestic Business Days' notice.

        Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition
specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will
make the funds so received from the Banks available to the relevant Borrower at
the aforesaid address or place.

        (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to
the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
subsection (b) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made
such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and such Borrower
severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate
per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate
applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 and (ii) in the case of such Bank,
the Federal Funds Rate (if such Borrowing is in Dollars) or the applicable
London Interbank Offered Rate (if such Borrowing is in an Alternative Currency).
If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount,
such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

        Section 2.05. Notes. (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a
register (the "REGISTER") on which it will record the Commitment of each Bank,
each Loan made by such Bank and each repayment of any Loan made by such Bank.
Any such recordation by the Administrative Agent on the Register shall be
presumptively correct, absent manifest error. Failure to make any such
recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrower's
obligations hereunder.

                                       27
<PAGE>

        (b) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, promptly upon the request of any
Bank at any time, such Borrower shall deliver to such Bank a single Note, in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, duly executed by such Borrower and
payable to the order of such Bank and representing the obligation of such
Borrower to pay the unpaid principal amount of Loans made to such Borrower by
such Bank, with interest as provided herein on the unpaid principal amount from
time to time outstanding.

        (c) Each Bank shall record the date, currency, amount (in such
currency), type and maturity of each Loan made by it to each Borrower and the
date and amount of each payment of principal made by such Borrower with respect
thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or
enforcement of any of its Notes, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof
appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each
such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of such Bank to make any
such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes. Such Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by each
Borrower so to endorse any Note of such Borrower and to attach to and make a
part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

        Section 2.06. Maturity of Loans. (a) Each Committed Loan shall mature,
and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Termination
Date (or, if the Termination Date is not a Euro-Currency Business Day for the
relevant currency, the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day for such
currency).

        (b) Each Competitive Bid Loan included in any Competitive Bid Borrowing
shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing.

        Section 2.07. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date
such Loan is made until it becomes due or is converted to a different type of
Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Such interest
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and, with
respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a different
type of Loan, on the date such principal amount is so converted. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus
the Base Rate for such day.

        (b) Each Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Currency Margin for such day plus the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate applicable for such Interest Period.
Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof
and,

                                       28
<PAGE>

if such Interest Period is longer than three months, three months after the
first day thereof.

        The "LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE" applicable to any Interest Period
means the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%)
of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in the relevant currency are
offered to each of the Euro-Currency Reference Banks in the London interbank
market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Currency Business Days
before the first day of such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to
the principal amount of the Euro-Currency Loan of such Euro-Currency Reference
Bank to which such Interest Period is to apply and for a period of time
comparable to such Interest Period.

        (c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Currency Loan shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date
payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Currency Margin plus the higher
of (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan immediately
before it became overdue and (ii) a rate (the "OVERNIGHT LIBO RATE") equal to
the quotient obtained (rounded upward if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of
1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next
higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if
such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Currency Business Days, then
for such other period of time not longer than six months as the Administrative
Agent may select) deposits in the relevant currency in an amount approximately
equal to such overdue payment due to each of the Euro-Currency Reference Banks
are offered to such Euro-Currency Reference Bank in the London interbank market
for the applicable period determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the
Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause
(a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
2% plus the Base Rate for such day).

        (d) Subject to Section 8.01(a), each Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest
Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the London
Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with
(b) as if the related Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing were a Euro-Currency
Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Bank making
such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid Absolute Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the
Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Competitive
Bid Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section
2.03. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day
thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals
of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or
interest on any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for
each day until paid (i) in the case of Dollar-Denominated Loans, at a rate per
annum equal

                                       29
<PAGE>

to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day and (ii) in the case of
Euro-Currency Denominated Loans, at a rate per annum determined in accordance
with subsection 2.07(c) as if such Loan were Euro-Currency Loans.

        (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate
applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Company and the participating Banks of each rate of interest so
determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

        (f) Each Euro-Currency Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to
furnish quotations to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Section.
If any Euro-Currency Reference Bank does not furnish a timely quotation, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of
the quotation or quotations furnished by the remaining Euro-Currency Reference
Bank or Banks or, if none of such quotations is available on a timely basis, the
provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply.

        Section 2.08. Fees. (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their Commitments,
a facility fee in Dollars calculated for each day at the Facility Fee Rate for
such day on the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures. Such facility fee
shall accrue for each day from and including the Effective Date to but excluding
the date the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero.

        (b) The Company shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Banks ratably a letter of credit fee accruing daily on the
aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a rate per
annum equal to the Euro-Currency Margin for such day and (ii) to each Issuing
Bank for its own account, a letter of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the
aggregate amount then available for drawing under all Letters of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank at such rate as may be mutually agreed between the Borrower
and such Issuing Bank from time to time.

        (c) Accrued fees under subsections 2.08(a) and 2.08(b) shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, and on the date on which
the Commitments terminate in their entirety (and, if later, the date on which
the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero).

        Section 2.09. Method of Electing Types of Interest Rates and Interest
Periods for Dollar-Denominated Loans. (a) The Dollar-Denominated Loans included
in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of
interest rate specified by the Company in the applicable Notice of Committed
Borrowing. Thereafter, the Company may from time to time elect to change or
continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to the
provisions of Article 8), as follows:

                                       30
<PAGE>

                (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Company may elect to
        convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business
        Day; and

                (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Company may elect
        to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans
        as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to
        Section 2.14 in the case of any such conversion on any day other than
        the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
        Euro-Dollar Loans.

        Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice to the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third
Euro-Dollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such
notice is to be effective. Such notice may, if it so specifies, apply to only a
portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans;
provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising
such Group of Loans and (ii) the Dollar Amount of the portion to which such
notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each
at least $5,000,000. If no such notice is timely received prior to the end of an
Interest Period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of
Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans.

        (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election delivered pursuant to
subsection (a) above shall specify:

                (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice
        applies;

                (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected
        in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the
        applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

                (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group of Loans are to be
        converted, the new type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are
        to be Fixed Rate Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest
        Period applicable thereto; and

                (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for
        an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest
        Period.

        Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election
shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

        (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Company
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall

                                       31
<PAGE>

promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Company.

        Section 2.10. Method of Electing Interest Periods for Alternative
Currency Loans; Required Prepayments. (a) The initial Interest Period for each
Alternative Currency Loan shall be specified by the Company in the applicable
Notice of Committed Borrowing. The Company may specify the duration of each
subsequent Interest Period applicable to such Group of Loans by delivering to
the Administrative Agent, not later that 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
third Euro-Currency Business Day before the end of the immediately preceding
Interest Period, a notice specifying the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to
which such notice applies and the duration of such subsequent Interest Period
(which shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period).
If no such Notice of Interest Rate Election is timely received by the
Administrative Agent before the end of any applicable Interest Period, the
Company shall be deemed to have elected that the subsequent Interest Period for
such Group of Loans shall have a duration of one month (subject to the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period).

        (b) Three Euro-Currency Business Days before both (i) the end of each
Interest Period applicable to any Group of Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency and, (ii) each Quarterly Payment Date on which there are outstanding
Letter of Credit Liabilities denominated in an Alternative Currency, the
Administrative Agent shall recalculate the Dollar Amount of, in the case of
clause (i), such Group of Loans and in the case of clause (ii), all Letter of
Credit Liabilities denominated in an Alternative Currency, and shall notify the
Company of such recalculated Dollar Amount. Within three Euro-Currency Business
Days of receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans ratably to the
extent (if any) required so that, after giving effect to such recalculation of
the Dollar Amount and such prepayment, (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of all
Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding to all Eligible
Subsidiaries does not exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) the Total Outstanding Amount
does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

        (c) If on or before the first day of any Interest Period applicable to
any Group of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, there shall occur any
change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions
or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the opinion of
the Administrative Agent make it impracticable for such Group of Loans to
continue to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the
Banks, in which event the relevant Borrower shall repay such Group of Loans in
full on the later of (i) the last day of the immediately preceding Interest
Period or (ii) the third Euro-Currency Business Day after the Company receives
such notice from the Administrative Agent. Such Group of Loans shall bear
interest on and after the last day of such immediately preceding Interest Period
at a rate per annum determined for each day as provided in Section 2.07(c)
(except that if the

                                       32
<PAGE>

repayment due date is determined pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii), the 2%
per annum additional interest applicable to overdue amounts shall not apply
prior to such due date).

        Section 2.11. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Company
may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans or Letter of
Credit Liabilities are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time
to time by an aggregate Dollar Amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple
thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the Total
Outstanding Amount.

        (b) The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date, and any
Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and
payable on such date.

        Section 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) Any Borrower may:

                (i) upon at least one Domestic Business Day's notice to the
        Administrative Agent, prepay its Group of Base Rate Loans (or any
        Competitive Bid Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to
        Section 8.01(a)), in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in
        amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000;

                (ii) upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days' notice to
        the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 2.14, prepay any Group of
        Euro-Dollar Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in
        amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000; or

                (iii) upon at least three Euro-Currency Business Days' notice to
        the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 2.14, prepay any Group of
        Alternative Currency Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time
        in part; provided that the aggregate Dollar Amount of any partial
        prepayment is at least $5,000,000;

in each case, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued
interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall
be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such
Group of Loans.

        (b) Except as provided in Section 8.02, no Borrower may prepay all or
any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan (except a
Competitive Bid Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section
8.01(a)) prior to the maturity thereof without the consent of the Bank making
such Loan.

                                       33
<PAGE>

        (c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and
of such Bank's ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall
not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

        Section 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) Each payment of
principal of, and interest on, the Dollar-Denominated Loans and each payment of
fees hereunder, shall be made in Dollars not later than 12:00 Noon (New York
City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available
in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address in New York City
referred to in Section 11.01.

        (b) Each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Alternative
Currency-Denominated Loans shall be made in the relevant Alternative Currency in
such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international
transactions in such Alternative Currency, for the account of the Administrative
Agent at such time and at such place as shall have been notified by the
Administrative Agent to the Company and the Banks by not less than four
Euro-Currency Business Days' notice.

        (c) Promptly upon receiving any payment for the account of the Banks,
the Administrative Agent will distribute to each Bank, in the currency and type
of funds received by the Administrative Agent, such Bank's ratable share of such
payment.

        (d) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate
Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities or of fees shall be due on a day which is
not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of,
or interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans or the Competitive Bid Loans shall be
due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day for the relevant
currency, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Euro-Currency Business Day for such currency, unless such Euro-Currency Business
Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof
shall be the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day for such currency. If the
date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise,
interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

        (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Company prior to the date on which any payment is due from any Borrower to the
Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due
date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that
such Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such

                                       34
<PAGE>

Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate (if such amount was
distributed in Dollars) or (ii) the rate per annum at which one day deposits in
the relevant currency are offered to the Administrative Agent in the London
interbank market for such day (if such amount was distributed in an Alternative
Currency).

        (f) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off.

        Section 2.14. Funding Losses. If a Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is
converted to a different type of Loan (pursuant to Section 2.12, Article 6 or 8
or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to
Section 2.07(c), or if a Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue
any Fixed Rate Loans (including a failure to borrow in an Alternative Currency
due to the occurrence of any event described in Section 3.02(f)) after notice
has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.09(c) or
2.12(c), such Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for
any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective
Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss
incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but
excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue, provided that such Bank shall have
delivered to such Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

        Section 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the
Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).

        Section 2.16. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower
hereunder or under any Note in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the
"SPECIFIED CURRENCY") into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the
fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other
currency at the Administrative Agent's New York office on the Euro-Currency
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of
each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent
hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency

                                       35
<PAGE>

other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the
Euro-Currency Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other
currency, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with
such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is
less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, in the specified currency, the relevant Borrower agrees, to the
fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified
currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any
amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a
disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 11.04, such Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the
relevant Borrower.

        Section 2.17. Reserve Costs. (a) If and so long as a reserve requirement
of the type described in the definition of "Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage" is
prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any
successor), each Bank subject to such requirement may require each Borrower to
pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Bank's
Euro-Currency Loans to such Borrower, additional interest on such Euro-Currency
Loan at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the
excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B)
one minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London
Interbank Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional
interest (x) shall so notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, in
which case such additional interest on the Euro-Currency Loans of such Bank
shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect
to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Currency Business Days
after such Bank gives such notice and (y) shall notify each Borrower, at least
five Euro-Currency Business Days before each date on which interest is payable
on its Euro-Currency Loans, of the amount then due to such Bank under this
Section.

        (b) If and so long as any Bank is required to make special deposits with
the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees in respect
of such Bank's Euro-Currency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Bank may
require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of
interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per
annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the
formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit J hereto.

        (c) If and so long as any Bank is required to comply with reserve
assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other
authority

                                       36
<PAGE>

(including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the
European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) above) in respect of any of such Bank's Euro-Currency
Loans, such Bank may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously
with each payment of interest on each of such Bank's Euro-Currency Loans subject
to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum
specified by such Bank to be the cost to such Bank of complying with such
requirements in relation to such Loan.

        (d) Any additional interest owed pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c)
above shall be determined by the relevant Bank, which determination shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes except in the case of manifest error,
and notified to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
at least five Euro-Currency Business Days before each date on which interest is
payable for the relevant Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the
relevant Borrower by such Bank shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Bank on each date on which interest is payable for such
Loan.

        Section 2.18. Letters of Credit.

        (a) Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency from time to time before the
Letter of Credit Termination Date upon the request of any Borrower; provided
that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued (i) the Total
Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments and
(ii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not
exceed $60,000,000. Upon the date of issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without
further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit
Liabilities in the proportion its respective Commitment bears to the aggregate
Commitments.

        (b) Method for Issuance; Terms; Extensions.

                (i) The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank notice at least (x)
        three Domestic Business Days in case of Letters of Credit denominated in
        Dollars and (y) three Euro-Currency Business Days in case of Letters of
        Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (or such shorter notice as
        may be acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its discretion) prior to the
        requested issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of renewal or
        extension, prior to the Issuing Bank's deadline for notice of
        nonextension) specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued,
        and describing the terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the
        transactions to be supported thereby (such notice, including any such
        notice given in connection with the extension of a Letter of Credit, a
        "NOTICE OF

                                       37
<PAGE>

        ISSUANCE"). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the Issuing Bank shall
        promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
        shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of the
        amount of such Bank's participation in such Letter of Credit.

                (ii) The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue each Letter of
        Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in
        Section 3.02 be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of
        Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as shall be
        reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and that the Borrower shall
        have executed and delivered such other customary instruments and
        agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall
        have reasonably requested. The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing
        Bank for its own account issuance, drawing, amendment, settlement and
        extension charges, if any, in the amounts and at the times as agreed
        between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank.

                (iii) The extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be
        deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of
        Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be
        extended unless notice of termination is given by the Issuing Bank, the
        Issuing Bank shall timely give such notice of termination unless it has
        theretofore timely received a Notice of Issuance and the other
        conditions to issuance of a Letter of Credit have also theretofore been
        met with respect to such extension. Each Letter of Credit shall expire
        at or before the close of business on the date that is one year after
        such Letter of Credit is issued (or, in the case of any renewal or
        extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension); provided
        that (i) a Letter of Credit may contain a provision pursuant to which it
        is deemed to be extended on an annual basis unless notice of termination
        is given by the Issuing Bank and (ii) in no event will a Letter of
        Credit expire (including pursuant to a renewal or extension thereof) on
        a date later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date.

        (c) Payments; Reimbursement Obligations.

                (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of
        any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
        shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
        promptly notify the Borrower and each other Bank as to the amount and
        the currency to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the
        date such payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank (the "PAYMENT
        DATE"). The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated
        to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any amounts paid by the Issuing Bank
        upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit (a "REIMBURSEMENT
        OBLIGATION"), without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities
        of any kind. Such reimbursement shall be due (x) in the case of a Letter
        of

                                       38
<PAGE>

        Credit denominated in Dollars, on the Payment Date, and (y) in the case
        of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, on the
        third Euro-Currency Business Day following the Payment Date; provided
        that no such payment shall be due from the Borrower any earlier than the
        date of receipt by it of notice of its obligation to make such payment
        (or, if such notice is received by the Borrower after 10:00 A.M. (New
        York City time) on any date, on (x) the next succeeding Domestic
        Business Day in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and
        (y) the third succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day in the case of
        Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the date so
        determined with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation, the
        "REIMBURSEMENT DATE"); and provided further that if and to the extent
        any such reimbursement is not made by the Borrower in accordance with
        this clause (i) or clause (ii) below on the Payment Date, then
        (irrespective of when notice thereof is received by the Borrower), such
        reimbursement obligation shall bear interest, payable on demand, for
        each day from and including the Payment Date to but not including the
        date such reimbursement obligation is paid in full at a rate per annum
        equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans in case of Letters
        of Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) the sum of the Euro-Currency
        Margin plus the Overnight LIBO Rate in case of Letter of Credit
        denominated in an Alternative Currency plus, in the case of amounts in
        any currency not paid when due, 2.00%. All payments in respect of the
        principal amount of the Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower with
        respect of any Letter of Credit and interest thereon shall be made in
        the same currency as the related Letter of Credit was denominated, and
        shall be made in the funds specified in Section 2.13 for payments in
        such currency.

                (ii) If the Commitments remain in effect on the Reimbursement
        Date, unless the Borrower otherwise instructs the Administrative Agent
        by not less than (x) one Domestic Business Day's prior notice in the
        case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and, (y) three
        Euro-Currency Business Days' prior notice in the case of Letters of
        Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the principal amount of
        the Reimbursement Obligation shall convert automatically on the
        Reimbursement Date to (x) Base Rate Loans in the case of Letters of
        Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) Alternative Currency Loans in the
        case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency. The
        initial Interest Period applicable to any such Alternative Currency Loan
        converted pursuant to this clause (ii) shall, subject to the provisions
        of the definition of Interest Period, commence on the Reimbursement Date
        and end one month thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf
        of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Administrative
        Agent so to act on its behalf), give notice no later than 12:00 Noon
        (New York City time) on the Payment Date requesting each Bank to make,
        and each Bank hereby agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan, or an Alternative

        case may be, on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to such Bank's
        Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to which such
        notice relates. Each Bank shall make such Loan available to the
        Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04 on the date
        specified in such notice. The Administrative Agent shall pay the
        proceeds of such Loans to the Issuing Bank, which shall immediately
        apply such proceeds to repay the Reimbursement Obligation.

                (iii) To the extent the Reimbursement Obligation is not refunded
        by a Bank pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Bank will pay to the
        Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, immediately
        upon the Issuing Bank's demand at any time during the period commencing
        after such Reimbursement Obligation arises until reimbursement therefor
        in full by the Borrower, an amount equal to such Bank's Percentage of
        such Reimbursement Obligation, together with interest on such amount for
        each day from the date of the Issuing Bank's demand for such payment
        (or, if such demand is made after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such
        date, from the next succeeding (x) Domestic Business Day in case of
        Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) Euro-Currency Business
        Day in case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency)
        to the date of payment by such Bank of such amount at a rate of interest
        per annum equal to (x) the Federal Funds Rate for the first three
        Domestic Business Days after the date of such demand and thereafter at a
        rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for each additional day in case of
        Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) the Overnight LIBO Rate
        for the first three Euro-Currency Business Days after the date of such
        demand and thereafter the sum of the Overnight LIBO Rate plus the
        Euro-Currency Margin, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an
        Alternative Currency. The Issuing Bank will pay to each Bank ratably all
        amounts received from the Borrower for application in payment of its
        Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only
        to the extent such Bank has made payment to the Issuing Bank in respect
        of such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto; provided that in the event
        such payment received by the Issuing Bank is required to be returned,
        such Bank will return to the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously
        distributed to it by the Issuing Bank.

        (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower and each Bank
under subsection (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following

<PAGE>

                (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from
        all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit
        or any document related hereto or thereto, provided by any party
        affected thereby;

                (iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or
        any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any
        Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

                (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
        rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a
        Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting),
        any Bank (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in
        connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document
        related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

                (v) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter
        of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or
        any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
        whatsoever;

                (vi) payment under a Letter of Credit against presentation to
        the Issuing Bank of documents that do not comply with the terms of such
        Letter of Credit;

                (vii) any termination of the Commitments prior to, on or after
        the Payment Date for any Letter of Credit, whether at the scheduled
        termination thereof, by operation of Section 6.01 or otherwise; or

                (viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by
        any Bank (including the Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or any
        other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might,
        but for the provisions of this subsection (viii), constitute a legal or
        equitable discharge of or defense to the Borrower's or the Bank's
        obligations hereunder;

provided, that this Section 2.18(d) shall not limit the rights of the Borrower
under Section 2.18(e)(ii).

        (e) Indemnification; Expenses.

                (i) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and hold harmless each Bank
        (including each Issuing Bank) and the Administrative Agent from and
        against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses of
        any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
        disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation, the reasonable
        allocated costs of in-house counsel), which may be incurred by it in

                                       41
<PAGE>

        connection with a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.18;
        provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Bank,
        or the Administrative Agent, for such Person's own gross negligence or
        willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent
        jurisdiction.

                (ii) None of the Banks (including, subject to clause (y) below,
        an Issuing Bank) nor the Administrative Agent nor any of their officers
        or directors or employees or agents shall be liable or responsible, by
        reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer
        of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including
        without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in subsection (d)
        above; provided that, notwithstanding Section 2.18(d), the Borrower
        shall have a claim for direct (but not consequential) damage suffered by
        it, to the extent finally determined by a court of competent
        jurisdiction to have been caused by (x) the Issuing Bank's gross
        negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether documents
        presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such
        Letter of Credit or (y) the Issuing Bank's failure to pay under any
        Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documents strictly
        complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. The
        parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on
        their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of
        Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its discretion, either accept and make
        payment to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit upon such documents
        without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
        notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make
        payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict
        compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

                (iii) Nothing in this subsection (e) is intended to limit the
        obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.
        To the extent the Borrower does not indemnify an Issuing Bank as
        required by this subsection, the Banks agree to do so ratably in
        accordance with their Commitments.

        Section 2.19. Increased Commitments, Additional Banks. (a) From time to
time the Company may, upon at least five Domestic Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the
Banks), increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount not less
than $25,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the "INCREASED COMMITMENTS").

        (b) To effect such an increase, the Company may designate one or more of
the existing Banks or other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank which at the time agree to (i) in the
case of any such bank that is an existing Bank, increase its Commitment and (ii)

                                       42
<PAGE>

in the case of any other such bank (an "ADDITIONAL BANK"), become a party to
this Agreement with a Commitment of not less than $5,000,000.

        (c) Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall
be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

        representations and warranties contained in Article 4 shall be true on
        and as of the date of such increase;

                (ii) immediately before and after such increase, no Default
        shall have occurred and be continuing; and

                (iii) after giving effect to such increase, the aggregate amount
        of all increases in Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall
        not exceed $200,000,000.

        (d) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.19 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative
Agent of (i) an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent signed by the Company, by each Additional Bank and by each
other Bank whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new
Commitments of such Banks and setting forth the agreement of each Additional
Bank to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and
provisions hereof, (ii) such evidence of appropriate organizational
authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the Increased
Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Company with respect to the
Increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and
(iii) a certificate of the Company stating that the conditions set forth in
subsection (c) above have been satisfied.

        (e) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) the respective Letter of Credit Liabilities
of the Banks shall be redetermined as of the effective date of such increase and
(ii) within five Domestic Business Days, in the case of Base Rate Loans then
outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, in the case of Euro-Currency Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall
prepay or repay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower
elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3, the
Borrower shall reborrow Committed Loans from the Banks in proportion to their
respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as
all outstanding Committed Loans are held by the Banks in such proportion.

shall not have occurred any change in national or international financial,
political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls
which would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent make it impracticable for
such Borrowing to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.

        Each Borrowing or issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company on the date of such
Borrowing as to the facts specified in clauses (c), (d) and (e) of this Section.

                                       45
<PAGE>

        Section 4.01. Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of Delaware, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its
business as now conducted.

        Section 4.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No
Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and its Notes are within the Company's corporate powers, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in
respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official under any
provision of law or regulation applicable to the Company, and do not contravene,
or constitute a default under, any provision of law or regulation applicable to
the Company or of the restated certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
Company or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other
instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

        Section 4.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of the Company and its Notes, when executed and delivered in
accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of
the Company.

        Section 4.04. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated balance sheet
of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the fiscal year
then ended, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, fairly present, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of
the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such period.

        (b) There has been no material adverse change since December 31, 2005 in
the business, financial position, assets, liabilities or results of operations
of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

        Section 4.05. Litigation. There is no action, suit, formal investigation
or other proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Company
threatened against or affecting, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before
any Governmental Authority in which there is a reasonable possibility of an
adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business or
consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement
or its Notes.

        Section 4.06. Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has
fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in

                                       46
<PAGE>

compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the
ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under
Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to
make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any
amendment to any Plan, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a
Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal
Revenue Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than
a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

        Section 4.07. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its
business, the Company conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental
Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated
liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating
expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or
previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or
maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as
a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on
operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any
facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations
conducted thereat, any costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal
of wastes or Hazardous Substances, and any actual or potential liabilities to
third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the
basis of this review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated
liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental
Laws, are unlikely to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

        Section 4.08. Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all
United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns
which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to
such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any
Subsidiary, except assessments which are being contested in good faith and as to
which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves
on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other
governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, adequate.

        Section 4.09. Not an Investment Company. The Company is not an
"INVESTMENT COMPANY" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

        Section 4.10. Full Disclosure. All Information (as defined below)
heretofore furnished by the Company is, and all Information hereafter furnished
by the Company will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date
as of which such Information is dated or certified (except for any projections
included therein, which projections shall have provided reasonable estimations
of future performance for the periods covered thereby subject to the uncertainty
and

                                       47

approximation inherent in any projections) and not incomplete by omitting to
state anything necessary to make such Information not misleading at such time
except to the extent later Information could reasonably have been expected to
supersede earlier Information. As used in this Section, the term "INFORMATION"
means (i) the information set forth in the Company's report on Form 10-K for its
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and in all subsequent reports on Forms 10-K,
10-Q and 8-K (or their equivalents) and registration statements (excluding
exhibits thereto and any registration statements on Form S-8 or its equivalent)
which the Company shall have filed with the SEC and (ii) all other information
furnished by the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of
or in connection with this Agreement, but only if such other information is (x)
financial information, (y) furnished in writing to all the Banks or to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to all the Banks or (z) furnished at a
meeting to which all the Banks were invited.

        Section 4.11. Subsidiaries. Each of the Company's corporate Subsidiaries
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and
all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
required to carry on its business as now conducted, except where failures to
obtain such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not, in the
aggregate, have a Materially Adverse Effect.

        Section 4.12. Good Title to Properties. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have good and marketable title to their respective properties and assets (except
properties and assets that, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole), subject to no Liens of any kind, except
such as would be permitted under Section 5.10.

        Section 4.13. Trademarks, Patents, Etc. The Company and its Subsidiaries
possess all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and licenses, or rights
in any thereof, which are adequate in all material respects for the conduct of
their business (taken as a whole) as now conducted, without pending litigation
regarding the rights or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any claimed
rights of others except for (i) those which could not reasonably be expected to
have a Materially Adverse Effect and (ii) those disclosed in filings made with
the SEC.

the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company as if it were not the

any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with

        Section 7.05. Liability of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative

Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, with (so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the consent
of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such
appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice

Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial
bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any State

                                       58
<PAGE>

successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the

                             CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

        Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.
If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Loans:

        (a) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Euro-Currency Reference
Banks that deposits in the applicable currency and amounts are not being offered
to the Euro-Currency Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Interest
Period, or

        (b) in the case of Euro-Currency Loans, Banks having 50% or more of the
aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the
London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loans for
such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and
the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the
obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Currency Loans (in the affected currency)
or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and
(ii) each outstanding Euro-Currency Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate
Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. In
the case of an Alternative Currency-Denominated Loan, such conversion shall be
made at the Administrative Agent's spot buying rate for Dollars against the
relevant Alternative Currency as of approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) on
the date of such conversion. Unless the Company notifies the Administrative
Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Fixed Rate
Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that the

                                       59
<PAGE>

relevant Borrower elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such Fixed Rate
Borrowing is a Committed Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a
Base Rate Borrowing in the same Dollar Amount as the requested Borrowing and
(ii) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing, the
Competitive Bid LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall be made in Dollars
in the same aggregate Dollar Amount as the requested Borrowing and bear interest
for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day.

        Section 8.02. Illegality. (a) If, on or after Effective Date, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its
Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans
to any Borrower and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and
the Company, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Company and the
Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Currency Loans to such
Borrower, or to convert outstanding Loans to such Borrower into Euro-Dollar
Loans, shall be suspended. If such notice is given with respect to Euro-Dollar
Loans, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to
a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to
maintain and fund such Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if such
Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such
Euro-Dollar Loan to such day. If such notice is given with respect to
Alternative Currency Loans, the relevant Borrower shall prepay such Alternative
Currency Loans either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Alternative Currency Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue
to maintain and fund such Alternative Currency Loan to such day or (ii)
immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to
maintain and fund such Alternative Currency Loan to such day.

        (b) If by reason of the fact that an Eligible Subsidiary is organized
in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, it is
unlawful for any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make or maintain
Loans to such Eligible Subsidiary and such Bank shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the other Banks and the Company, whereupon until such Bank notifies
the Company and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to
such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make or maintain
Loans to such Eligible Subsidiary shall be suspended. If such notice is given,
each Loan of such

                                       60
<PAGE>

Bank then outstanding to such Eligible Subsidiary shall be prepaid either (i) in
the case of a Euro-Currency Loan, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable thereto if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such
Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if clause (i) does not apply.

        (c) If so requested by the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of
the Company or the Required Banks, and provided that it may lawfully do so, any
Bank whose Alternative Currency Loans have been prepaid pursuant to Section
8.02(a) or whose Loans to an Eligible Subsidiary have been prepaid pursuant to
Section 8.02(b) shall purchase participations in the related Loans of the other
Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, including without limitation
Loans to the Company in an equivalent Dollar Amount in the event that
participations in such related Loans may not lawfully be purchased by such Bank,
as may be required so that the credit exposure of the Banks with respect to the
Committed Loans is shared on a basis proportionate to the Commitments of the
Banks.

        (d) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the
judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after (x)
Effective Date, in the case of any Committed Loan or Letter of Credit or any
obligation to make Committed Loans or issue or participate in any Letter of
Credit or (y) the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any
Competitive Bid Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or
any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement
imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding
with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan any such requirement included in an
applicable Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance
assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office)
or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United
States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans or Letters of Credit Liabilities,
any of its Notes or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans or its obligations
hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing
is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable

                                       61
<PAGE>

Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or of issuing or
participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under
this Agreement or under any of its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such
Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay, or cause
the relevant Borrower to pay, to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

        (b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after Effective Date, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy,
or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital
of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand
by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to
such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its
Parent) for such reduction, provided that no such demand by any Bank shall
include any period commencing earlier than 90 days prior to the date of demand.

        (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after Effective Date,
which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the
judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate
of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 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, such Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

        (d) If at any time any Subsidiary that is organized in, or conducts
business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States becomes an Eligible
Subsidiary, all applicable laws, rules and regulations then in effect in such
jurisdiction shall be deemed for purposes of Section 8.03(a) to have been
adopted at such time and all applicable requests and directives theretofore made
by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency in such
jurisdiction shall be deemed for purposes of Section 8.03(a) to have been made
at such time; provided that no Bank shall be obligated under Section 8.03(c) to
give notice of any such law, rule, regulation, request or directive, or to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office by reason thereof, until an
officer of such Bank

                                       62
<PAGE>

responsible for administering this Agreement shall have become aware of such
law, rule, regulation, request or directive and the relevant consequences
thereof.

        Section 8.04. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower or the
Guarantor to or for the account of any Bank or any Agent hereunder or under any
Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case
of each Bank and Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes
imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or Agent
(as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in
the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank's Applicable Lending
Office or any political subdivision thereof. In the case of each Bank or Agent,
all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities are hereinafter referred to as its "TAXES", and all
such excluded taxes are hereinafter referred to as its "DOMESTIC TAXES". If any
Borrower or the Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Bank or any
Agent, (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) such Bank or Agent (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower or the Guarantor shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address in New York City referred to
in Section 11.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof, and, if such receipt relates to Taxes in respect of a sum
payable to any Bank, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such
original or certified copy to such Bank.

        (b) In addition, each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees to pay any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder
or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as "OTHER
TAXES").

        (c) Each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Bank and
each Agents for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Bank or Agent (as the case may
be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses to the extent
not attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank or
Agent, as the case may be) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. In
addition, each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Bank and
Agent for all Domestic Taxes of such Bank or Agent (calculated based on a
hypothetical basis

                                       63
<PAGE>

at the maximum marginal rate for a corporation) and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses to the extent not attributable to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank or Agent, as the case may be)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case to the extent that such
Domestic Taxes result from any payment or indemnification pursuant to this
Section for (i) Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction other than the
United States or (ii) Domestic Taxes of such Bank or Agent, as the case may be.
This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or
Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

        (d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on
or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank,
and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company (but
only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the
Company with Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, as appropriate, or
any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that
such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of
interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a
party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate
in excess of zero, any United States interest withholding tax at such rate
imposed on payments by the Company under this Agreement or under any Note (other
than pursuant to Article 10) shall be excluded from "TAXES" as defined in
Section 8.04(a).

        (e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide
the Company with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (unless such
failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to
the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank
shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or Section
8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that should
a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of
withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a
form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Bank shall
reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

        (f) If any Borrower or the Guarantor is required to pay additional
amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section, then such
Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to
eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if
such change, in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to
such Bank.

                                       64
<PAGE>

        (g) Each Bank and Agent shall, at the request of the Company or the
Guarantor, use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the
Company if the making of such a filing would eliminate or reduce the amount of
any additional amounts payable to or for the account of such Bank or Agent (as
the case may be) pursuant to this Section in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States which may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the sole judgement of such Bank or Agent, require such
Bank or Agent to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank or Agent.

        (h) If any Borrower or the Guarantor makes any payment pursuant to
Section 8.04(a) or (c) with respect to a Bank, such Bank shall, upon the
reasonable request and at the reasonable expense of such Borrower or the
Guarantor, use reasonable efforts to apply for a refund of tax (if such tax is
not lawfully imposed) or a credit against its tax liabilities on account of such
payment; provided that (A) such Bank shall have no obligation under this Section
8.04(h) if it determines, in its sole discretion, that claiming a refund or a
credit would have adverse tax consequences to it and (B) such Bank shall not be
under any obligation to claim a credit or refund in respect of such payment in
priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it. If
such Bank receives such a refund or actually reduces its tax liabilities by
utilizing such a credit, such Bank shall, to the extent that it can do so
without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund or credit, pay
to the relevant Borrower or the Guarantor an amount equal to the amount so
received or utilized (less any out-of-pocket expenses or taxes imposed on the
receipt of such refund or credit); provided that such Bank shall be required to
pay to such Borrower or the Guarantor (i) only such amounts as such Bank
determines, in its sole discretion and by using any reasonable method which the
Bank deems appropriate, are attributable to such payment by such Borrower or the
Guarantor, and (ii) only if no Event of Default exists at the time such Bank
receives the relevant refund or credit. If a Bank is in an excess foreign tax
credit position, such Bank shall be deemed not to have utilized a foreign tax
credit with respect to any such payment by the Borrower or the Guarantor. Each
Borrower and the Guarantor agrees to return, upon the request of a Bank, any
payment made by such Bank under this Section 8.04(h) (plus penalties, interest
and other charges imposed by a taxing authority) to such Bank if a taxing
authority or such Bank determines that (x) such Bank is required to repay such
refund or (y) such Bank is unable to utilize such credit. Any calculation or
determination made under this Section 8.04(h) by any Bank shall be conclusive
and final.

        (i) Nothing contained in Section 8.04 shall (i) entitle any Borrower or
the Guarantor to any information determined by any Bank, in its sole discretion,
to be confidential or proprietary information of such Bank, to any tax or
financial information of any Bank or to inspect or review any books and records
of any Bank, (ii) require any Bank to disclose or detail the basis of any
calculation of the

                                       65
<PAGE>

amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the basis of any determination
made under Section 8.04(h) to any Borrower or any other party, (iii) be
construed to require any Bank to institute any administrative proceeding (other
than the filing of a claim for any refund or credit) or judicial proceeding to
obtain any such refund or credit, or (iv) interfere with the rights of any Bank
to conduct its fiscal or tax affairs (including, without limitation, its
determination as to whether to claim a deduction or credit in respect of foreign
taxes) in such manner as it deems fit.

        Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans.
If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make, or convert outstanding Loans to,
Euro-Dollar Loans to any Borrower has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02(a)
or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with
respect to its Euro-Currency Loans and the Company shall, by at least five
Euro-Currency Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the
Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall
apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Company that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no
longer exist:

        (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or
continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be made as (or
continued as converted into) Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal
shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed Rate Loans of the
other Banks), and

        (b) after each of its Euro-Currency Loans has been repaid (or converted
to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied
to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans
instead.

If such Bank notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall
be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding
Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

        Section 8.06. Substitution of Bank. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to
make any Loan has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02, (ii) any Bank has
demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 or (iii) any Bank has not
signed an amendment or waiver that, pursuant to Section 11.05(a), requires such
Bank's signature and such amendment or waiver has been signed by the Required
Banks, the Company shall have the right, with the assistance of the
Administrative Agent, to seek a mutually satisfactory substitute bank or banks
("SUBSTITUTE BANKS") (which may be one or more of the Banks) to purchase the
Committed Loans and assume the Commitment of such Bank (the "EXITING BANK"). The
Exiting Bank shall, upon reasonable notice and payment to it of the purchase
price agreed between it and the Substitute Bank or Banks (or, failing such
agreement, a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of its

                                       66
<PAGE>

Committed Loans and interest accrued thereon to but excluding the date of
payment), assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
Notes (including its Commitment but excluding its Competitive Bid Loans, if any,
unless it otherwise agrees) to the Substitute Bank or Banks, and the Substitute
Bank or Banks shall assume such rights and obligations, in accordance with
Section 11.06(c). In connection with any such sale, the Company shall compensate
the Exiting Bank for any funding losses as provided in Section 2.14 and pay to
the Exiting Bank its facility fees accrued to but excluding the date of such
sale.

                                    ARTICLE 9
             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ELIGIBLE SUBSIDIARIES

Subsidiaries.

        Section 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and

                                    GUARANTY

        Section 10.01. The Guaranty. The Company hereby unconditionally
guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on all Loans and
Letter of Credit Liabilities incurred by any Eligible Subsidiary pursuant to
this Agreement, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable
by any Eligible Subsidiary under this Agreement. Upon failure by any Eligible
Subsidiary to pay punctually any such amount, the Company shall forthwith on
demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner and currency
specified in this Agreement.

        Section 10.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Company
under this Article 10 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise
affected by:

                (i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or
        release in respect of any obligation of any Eligible Subsidiary under
        this Agreement or any of its Notes or Letters of Credit, by operation of
        law or otherwise;

                (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this
        Agreement or any Note or Letter of Credit of such Eligible Subsidiary
        (except that the Company's guarantee under this Article 10 shall apply
        to the obligations of such Eligible Subsidiary as modified, amended or
        supplemented thereby);

                (iii) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of
        any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Eligible
        Subsidiary under this Agreement or any of its Notes or Letters of
        Credit;

                (iv) any change in the organizational existence, structure or
        ownership of any Eligible Subsidiary, or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
        reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Eligible
        Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
        obligation of any Eligible Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or any
        of its Notes or Letters of Credit;

                (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which
        the Company may have at any time against any Eligible Subsidiary, any
        Agent, any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or
        with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall
        prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory
        counterclaim;

                                       68
<PAGE>

                (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against
        any Eligible Subsidiary for any reason of this Agreement or any of its
        Notes or Letters of Credit, or any provision of applicable law or
        regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Eligible Subsidiary
        of the principal of or interest on any of its Loans or Letter of Credit
        Liabilities or any other amount payable by it under this Agreement; or

                (vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by
        any Eligible Subsidiary, any Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any
        other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of
        this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the
        Company's obligations hereunder.

        Section 10.03. Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in
Certain Circumstances. The Company's obligations hereunder shall remain in full
force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal
of and interest on the Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Eligible
Subsidiaries and all other amounts payable by the Company and each Eligible
Subsidiary under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any
payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit
Liability of any Eligible Subsidiary or any other amount payable by any Eligible
Subsidiary under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Eligible
Subsidiary or otherwise, the Company's obligations hereunder with respect to
such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been
due but not made at such time.

        Section 10.04. Waiver by the Company. The Company irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for
herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any
Person against any Eligible Subsidiary or any other Person.

        Section 10.05. Subrogation. Upon making any payment with respect to the
obligations of any Eligible Subsidiary hereunder, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Eligible Subsidiary with
respect to such payment; provided that the Company shall not enforce any payment
by way of subrogation against such Eligible Subsidiary so long as (i) any Bank
has any Commitment hereunder (unless such Eligible Subsidiary is no longer an
Eligible Subsidiary for purposes hereof) or (ii) any amount payable by such
Eligible Subsidiary hereunder remains unpaid.

        Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any amount payable by any Eligible Subsidiary under this Agreement or
its Notes is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such
Eligible Subsidiary, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under
the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Company
hereunder

                                       69

forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of

        Section 11.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by any Agent or any Bank
in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note or
Letter of Credit shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein
provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.

        Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay (i)
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including
reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agents, in
connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver
or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default
hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by any Agent or any Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel
(including, without limitation, the allocated costs of in-house counsel), in
connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and
other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

        (b) The Company agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Bank, their
respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and
employees of the foregoing (each an "INDEMNITEE") and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation, the reasonable
allocated costs of in-house counsel), which may be incurred by such Indemnitee
in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
(whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or
threatened relating to or

                                       71
<PAGE>

arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans
or Letters of Credit hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right
to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

        Section 11.04. Sharing of Set-offs. (a) If (i) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (ii) Banks holding more than 50% in aggregate
Dollar Amount of the Loans have requested the Administrative Agent to declare
the Loans to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, or the
Loans have become immediately due and payable without notice as provided in
Section 6.01, then each Bank and any of its affiliates are hereby authorized by
each Borrower at any time and from time to time, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, without notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly
waived by the Borrowers), to set off and apply all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at
any time owing by such Bank or any of its affiliates to or for the account of
such Borrower against any obligations of such Borrower to such Bank now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement, regardless of whether any such deposit
or other obligation is then due and payable or is in the same currency or is
booked or otherwise payable at the same office as the obligation against which
it is set off and regardless of whether such Bank shall have made any demand for
payment under this Agreement. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify such Borrower
after any such set-off and application made by such Bank or its affiliates;
provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application. The rights of the Banks under this subsection are
in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Banks may have.

        (b) Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of
set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan or
Letter of Credit Liability held by it which is greater than the proportion
received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and
interest due with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability of the same
Borrower held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately
greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Letter of
Credit Liabilities of the same Borrower held by the other Banks, and such other
adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit
Liabilities of the same Borrower held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks
pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any
Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply
the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the
relevant Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Agreement. Each Borrower
agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that any holder of a participation in any of its Loans or Letter of Credit
Liability, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may
exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with

                                       72
<PAGE>

respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were
a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

        Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this
Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment
or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Banks
(and, if the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank or any Agent are affected
thereby, by the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
amendment or waiver shall,

                (i) unless signed by all affected Banks,

                        (A) increase the Commitment of any Bank or subject any
                Bank to any additional obligation,

                        (B) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any
                Loan or the amount to be reimbursed in respect of any Letter of
                Credit or any interest thereon or any fees hereunder,

                        (C) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal
                of or interest on any Loan or for reimbursement in respect of
                any Letter of Credit or any fees hereunder or for the
                termination of any Commitment, or (except as expressly provided
                in Section 2.18) the expiry date of any Letter of Credit; or

                (ii) unless signed by all Banks,

                        (A) release the Guarantor from any of its obligations
                under Article 10,

                        (B) waive any of the conditions to effectiveness set
                forth in Section 3.01,

                        (C) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the
                aggregate Dollar Amount of the Loans or Letter of Credit
                Liabilities, which shall be required for the Banks or any of
                them to take any action under this Section or any other
                provision of this Agreement, or

                        (D) amend or waive the provisions of this Section 11.05;
                or

                (iii) unless signed by an Eligible Subsidiary, (A) subject such
        Eligible Subsidiary to any additional obligation, (B) increase the
        principal of or rate of interest on any outstanding Loan or Letter of
        Credit Liability of such Eligible Subsidiary, (C) accelerate the stated
        maturity of any outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary or (D)
        change this Section 11.05(a)(iii).

                                       73
<PAGE>

        (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise by the Company of its
option to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to Section
2.19 shall not require the consent of any Person except for the consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Additional Bank and each Bank whose
Commitment is to be increased.

        Section 11.06. 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, except that no Borrower may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of all the Banks.

        (b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other
institutions (each a "PARTICIPANT") participating interests in its Commitment or
any or all of its Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities. In the event of any
such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or
not upon notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall
remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a
participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right
and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder
including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation
agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification,
amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in Section 11.05(a)(i) without
the consent of the Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall,
to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the
benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest. An assignment
or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be
given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a
participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

        (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other
institution (each an "ASSIGNEE") all, or a proportionate part of all, of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Notes (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject to the
written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank,
in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) in
the case of an assignment (x) to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved
Fund with respect to a Bank or (y) at a time when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, no such consent of the Company shall be required,
(ii) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Bank's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case
of an assignment to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans

                                       74
<PAGE>

outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, hereinafter defined, 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, the Issuing Bank and,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this
clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Bid
Loans and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto
(an "ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT"), together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500, and the such Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. From
and after the effective date specified in each Assumption Agreement, such
Assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a
Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Bank's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.03, 8.04 and
11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

        (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank or to any affiliate
of such transferor Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank
from its obligations hereunder and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such transferor Bank in
connection with such transferor Bank's rights and obligations under this
Agreement.

        (e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank's rights
shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than
such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company's prior written
consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring
such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain
circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater
payment did not exist.

        (f) The Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information

                                       75
<PAGE>

(which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its
Related Parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive
such information in accordance with the assignee's compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

        Section 11.07. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to each Agent
and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin
Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for
in this Agreement.

        Section 11.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement
and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York. Each Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes
of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court
and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.

        Section 11.09. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

        Section 11.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENTS
AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

        Section 11.11. Patriot Act Notice. Each Bank that is subject to the Act
(as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Company and each Eligible Subsidiary
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which
information includes the name and address of the Company and such Eligible
Subsidiary and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company and such Eligible Subsidiary in
accordance with the Act.

        Section 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the

                                       76
<PAGE>

Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to
its and its affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Company. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information
received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company.
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do
so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

        EACH BANK ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 11.12
FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING
THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW,
INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

        ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS,
FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE
COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION,
WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ITS
RELATED PARTIES OR ITS SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH BANK REPRESENTS TO

                                       77
<PAGE>

THE COMPANY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT
MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

</Table>

        For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following
meanings, subject to the concluding paragraph of this Schedule:

        "LEVEL I STATUS" exists at any date if, at such date, the Borrower's
Credit Rating is A+ or higher by S&P or A1 or higher by Moody 's.

        "LEVEL II STATUS" exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower's Credit Rating is A or higher by S&P or A2 or higher by Moody's and
(ii) Level I Status does not exist.

        "LEVEL III STATUS" exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower's Credit Rating is A- or higher by S&P or A3 or higher by Moody's and
(ii) neither Level I Status nor Level II Status exists.

        "LEVEL IV STATUS" exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower's Credit Rating is BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody's
and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status and Level III Status exists.

        "LEVEL V STATUS" exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower's
Credit Rating is BBB or higher by S&P or Baa2 or higher by Moody's and (ii) none
of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status exists.

        "LEVEL VI STATUS" exists at any date if, at such date, no other Status
exists.

        "STATUS" refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level
II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status or Level VI Status
exists at any date.

        "UTILIZATION" means at any date the percentage equivalent of a fraction
(i) the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities at such date, after giving effect to any

<PAGE>

borrowing, issuance or payment on such date, and (ii) the denominator of which
is the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such date, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Commitments on such date. For purposes of this Schedule, if
for any reason any Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities remain outstanding
after termination of the Commitments, the Utilization for each date on or after
the date of such termination shall be deemed to be 100%.

        The Credit Ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Schedule are
those assigned to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Borrower
without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any other
debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded. The rating in effect at any
date is that in effect at the close of business on such date. In the case of
split ratings from S&P's and Moody's, the rating to be used to determine which
Status applies is the higher of the two; provided that if the split is more than
one full category, one rating above the lower rating shall be used (e.g. A+/A3
results in Level II Status and A+/Baa1 in Level III Status).

                   OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY
                                 March __, 2006

To the Banks and the Administrative
Agent referred to below
c/o JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent
270 Park Avenue
New York, New York  10017
Re:  ALLERGAN, INC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2006 among
Allergan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), the Eligible
Subsidiaries and you (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the corresponding meanings set forth in the Credit
Agreement.

        I am the Assistant General Counsel of the Company and, in such capacity,
I am generally familiar with the corporate and legal matters concerning the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

        I have made such inquiries and examined, among other things, originals,
or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true
copies, of such records, agreements, certificates, instruments and other
documents as I have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this
opinion.

        Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, I am of the opinion
that:

        1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing
corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has
all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and to conduct its business
as presently conducted.

        2. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of its business or the
location of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified would not have a Materially Adverse Effect.

        3. To the best of my knowledge, the Company and each Subsidiary have all
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry
on their respective businesses as presently conducted, except where the

Administrative Agent
referred to below                       2                         March __, 2006

failure to have any of the foregoing would not in the aggregate have a
Materially Adverse Effect.

        4. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of (a) its
charter or bylaws or (b) to the best of my knowledge, any law, statute, rule,
regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority
applicable to them or their respective properties or assets, except, in the case
of clause (b), where any such violation would, singly or in the aggregate with
other such violations, not have a Materially Adverse Effect.

        5. There are no pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened
actions or proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any
Governmental Authority which purport to affect the legality, validity, binding
effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Notes, or which are
likely to have a Materially Adverse Effect except for those actions or
proceedings previously disclosed in the Company's periodic filings made with the
SEC.

        6. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement and
its Notes and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly
authorized by all necessary action of the Company.

        7. The Credit Agreement and the Notes of the Company have each been duly
executed and delivered by the Company.

        8. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the
Company and each of its Notes constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms.

        9. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit
Agreement and its Notes do not and will not (A) violate the restated certificate
of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, (B)
to the best of my knowledge, violate any material law or regulation applicable
to the Company or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
known to me to be binding on the Company, (C) to the best of my knowledge,
conflict with, result in a material breach of or constitute a material default
under any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other
instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of
their respective properties are bound or result in or require the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of their respective assets, or (D) require any
authorization, consent, waiver or approval of any Governmental Authority.

        10. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is an "INVESTMENT
COMPANY" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

        The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions,
qualifications and limitations:

        A. I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any
jurisdiction other than (i) the federal laws of the United States of America,
(ii) the laws of the State of California and (iii) the Delaware General
Corporation Law. I am not admitted to practice law in the States of Delaware and
New York; however, I am generally familiar with the laws of the State of New
York applicable to unsecured loan transactions and with the Delaware General
Corporation Law as presently in effect and have made such inquiries as I
consider necessary to render the opinions contained in paragraphs 1, 4, 6, 7 and
9. This opinion is limited to the effect of the present state of the foregoing
laws and to the facts as they presently exist. I assume no obligation to revise
or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the
interpretations thereof or such facts. I call your attention to the fact that
the Credit Agreement provides that it and the Notes shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York as to which I
express no opinion herein. However, in my opinion (i) a federal or state court
sitting in California would enforce or otherwise give legal effect to the choice
of New York law set forth in Section 11.08 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) even
if such a court applied California law to determine the rights of the parties
under the Credit Agreement, I would give the opinion set forth in paragraph 8
above.

        B. My opinions set forth in paragraph 8 and (with respect to performance
by the Company) clauses (B) and (D) of paragraph 9 are subject to (i) the effect
of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
(including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding
fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers) and (ii) general principles of
equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.

        C. Without limitation, I express no opinion (i) as to the ability to
obtain specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief
(whether sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) as a remedy for
noncompliance with Credit Agreement or the Notes, and (ii) regarding the rights
or remedies available to any party insofar as such party may take discretionary
action that is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or is not taken in good
faith or in a commercially reasonable manner, whether or not such action is
permitted under the Credit Agreement or the Notes.

        D. I express no opinion with respect to the legality, validity, binding
nature or enforceability of any provision of the Credit Agreement or the Notes
to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or
remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or
remedy, that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse
to one or more others or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights
or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy.

        E. I express no opinion with respect to the legality, validity, binding
nature or enforceability of (i) any waiver under the Credit Agreement or the
Notes or any consents thereunder relating to the rights of the Company or duties
owing to it existing as a matter of law, except to the extent the Company may so
waive or consent under applicable law, (ii) provisions in the Credit Agreement
or the Notes imposing an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment
or (iii) any rights of setoff.

        F. I express no opinion as to any provision of the Credit Agreement or
the Notes requiring written amendments or waivers of such documents insofar as
it suggests that oral or other modifications, amendments or waivers could not be
effectively agreed upon by the parties or that the doctrine of promissory
estoppel might not apply.

        G. I express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of any Bank's
compliance with any state or federal laws applicable to the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

        This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Credit Agreement
and may not be relied upon by any person other than you (or permitted assignees
under the Credit Agreement) or by you (or any such permitted assignee) in any
other context, provided that you may provide this opinion (i) to bank examiners
and other regulatory authorities should they so request or in connection with
their normal examinations, (ii) to your independent auditors and attorneys,
(iii) pursuant to order or legal process of any court or governmental agency, or
(iv) in connection with any legal action to which you are a party arising out of
the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. This opinion may not be
quoted without my prior written consent. I consent to the delivery of this
opinion to the Administrative Agent's special counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell,
and to their reliance on this opinion in connection with closing under the
Credit Agreement.

Referred to Below
c/o JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
270 Park Avenue
New York, New York  10017

Dear Sirs:

        We have participated in the preparation of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT") dated as of March 31, 2006 among
Allergan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), the Eligible
Subsidiaries referred to therein, the banks party thereto (the "BANKS"),
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT"),
and have acted as special counsel to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of
rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Credit Agreement.
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

        We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of
public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other
investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for
purposes of this opinion.

        Upon the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

        1. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit
Agreement and its Notes are within the Company's corporate powers and have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

        2. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the
Company and each Note of the Company constitutes a valid and binding obligation
of the Company, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity.

        We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing
opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the
United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In

<PAGE>

giving the foregoing opinion, we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of
any law of any jurisdiction (except the State of New York) in which any Bank is
located which limits the rate of interest that such Bank may charge or collect.

        This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above
matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or
relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

                                         Very truly yours,

                              MANDATORY COSTS RATE

1.      DEFINITIONS

        In this Exhibit:

        "ACT" means the Bank of England Act of 1998.

        The terms "ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES" and "SPECIAL DEPOSITS" have the
        meanings ascribed to them under or pursuant to the Act or by the Bank of
        England (as may be appropriate), on the day of the application of the
        formula.

        "FEE BASE" has the meaning ascribed to it for the purposes of, and shall
        be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

        "FEES REGULATIONS" means, as appropriate, either:

        (a) the Banking Supervision (Fees) Regulations 1998; or

        (b) such regulations as from time to time may be in force, relating to
        the payment of fees for banking supervision in respect of periods
        subsequent to March 31, 1999.

        "FSA" means the Financial Services Authority.

        Any reference to a provision of any statute, directive, order or
        regulation herein is a reference to that provision as amended or
        re-enacted from time to time.

2.      CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COSTS RATE

        The Mandatory Costs Rate is an addition to the interest rate on each
        Euro-Currency Loan or any other sum on which interest is to be
        calculated to compensate the Banks for the cost attributable to each
        Euro-Currency Loan or such sum resulting from the imposition from time
        to time under or pursuant to the Act and/or by the Bank of England
        and/or the FSA (or other United Kingdom governmental authorities or
        agencies) of a requirement to place non-interest bearing or Special
        Deposits (whether interest bearing or not) with the Bank of England
        and/or pay fees to the FSA calculated by reference to liabilities used
        to fund the relevant Euro-Currency Loan or such sum.

<PAGE>

        The "MANDATORY COSTS RATE" will be the rate determined by the
        Administrative Agent to be equal to the arithmetic mean (rounded upward,
        if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates
        notified by each of the Euro-Currency Reference Banks to the
        Administrative Agent as the rate resulting from the application of the
        following formula:

        For British pounds sterling:

               XL + S(L-D) + F x 0.01
               ----------------------
                   100 - (X + S)

        For other Alternate Currencies:

               F x 0.01
               --------
                 300

        where on the day of application of the formula:

X       is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (in excess of any stated
        minimum) by reference to which such Euro-Currency Reference Bank is
        required under or pursuant to the Act to maintain cash ratio deposits
        with the Bank of England;

L       is the rate of interest (exclusive of Euro-Currency Margin and Mandatory
        Costs Rate) payable on that day on the related Euro-Currency Loan or
        unpaid sum pursuant to this Agreement;

F       is the rate of periodical charge payable by such Euro-Currency Reference
        Bank to the FSA pursuant to the Fees Regulations and expressed in pounds
        per Pound Sterling1 million of the Fee Base of such Euro-Currency
        Reference Bank;

S       is the level of interest-bearing Special Deposits, expressed as a
        percentage of Eligible Liabilities, which such Euro-Currency Reference
        Bank is required to maintain by the Bank of England (or other United
        Kingdom governmental authorities or agencies); and

D       is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to such
        Euro-Currency Reference Bank on Special Deposits.

        (X, L, S and D are to be expressed in the formula as numbers and not as
        percentages. A negative result obtained from subtracting D from L shall
        be counted as zero.)

                                       2
<PAGE>

        If any Euro-Currency Reference Bank fails to notify any such rate to the
        Administrative Agent, the Mandatory Costs Rate shall be determined on
        the basis of the rate(s) notified to the Administrative Agent by the
        remaining Euro-Currency Reference Bank(s).

        The Mandatory Costs Rate attributable to a Euro-Currency Loan or other
        sum for any period shall be calculated at or about 11:00 A.M. (London
        time) on the first day of such period for the duration of such period.

        The determination of Mandatory Costs Rate by the Administrative Agent in
        relation to any period shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
        conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

3.      CHANGE OF REQUIREMENTS

        If there is any change in circumstance (including the imposition of
        alternative or additional requirements) which in the reasonable opinion
        of the Administrative Agent renders or will render the above formula (or
        any element thereof, or any defined term used therein) inappropriate or
        inapplicable, the Administrative Agent (following consultation with the
        Borrower and the Banks) shall be entitled to vary the same. Any such
        variation shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
        binding on all parties and shall apply from the date specified in such
        notice.

TRUSTCORP FINANCIAL, INC.

1997 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN, AS AMENDED

1.

Purpose of Plan.  The purpose of this 1997 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, as amended (“Plan”), is to promote the best interests of Trustcorp Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and its shareholders by encouraging participants to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and thereby provide an incentive for such participants to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company.

2.

Granting of Options.

(a)

The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), or with respect to any time when there is no such committee, the Board of Directors as a whole (the “Board”), may from time to time grant options (“Options”) to purchase a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Option Shares”), to those employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who may be designated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and recommended for the grant of such Option in such officer’s discretion.

(b)

The Compensation Committee may grant Options to directors of the Company’s subsidiaries who may be designated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and recommended for the grant of such Option in such officer’s discretion, by resolution of a majority of disinterested members.

(c)

The Compensation Committee may from time to time grant Options to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in its discretion, by resolution of a majority of disinterested members.

3.

Maximum Number of Option Shares.

(a)

Options may not be granted aggregating more than 400,000 Option Shares; provided that if any Option shall expire without being fully exercised, the unissued Option Shares shall again become available for option under this Plan.

(b)

In the event of any stock dividend on, reclassification, split-up or combination of, or other change in, the Company’s common stock, then the number or kind of shares for which Options may be granted hereunder shall be correspondingly added to, increased, diminished or changed proportionately.

(c)

The Company shall at all times reserve a number of shares of common stock for issuance hereunder equal to the number of Option Shares for which Options are then outstanding, which reserved shares may consist of previously-unissued Shares or treasury Shares or any combination thereof.

			
	 	 	 

4.

Terms of Options.  The terms of each Option shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated into this Plan, or as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee in a specific case.

5.

Rights of Option Holder.  No person shall have any rights under any Option unless and until he or she shall have entered into an Option Agreement with respect to such Option. No person to whom an Option has been granted and who has entered into an Option Agreement (“Optionee”) shall have any rights of a stockholder as to Shares under option until such Shares shall have been issued to him or her upon due exercise of the Option.  The grant of an Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or to consolidate, or to dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer any or all of its business or assets.

6.

Duration of Plan.  Options may be granted under this Plan from the effective date of its adoption by the Board until the effective date of its termination by the Board.  The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; however, no amendment or termination shall adversely affect the rights of an Optionee under any Option then in effect, except as the Company and the Optionee may otherwise agree.

7.

Administration of Plan.

The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, which shall have the power to interpret the Plan, to make rules relating to the Plan, and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for its administration except those specifically reserved to the Chief Executive Officer in the Plan.  However, the Compensation Committee may not change the terms and conditions of an Option adversely to the Optionee, except to the extent, if any, provided in such Option or consented to by the Optionee.  The determination by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as to the employees or directors eligible to receive Options and the approval of the individual Optionees and the exercise price by the Compensation Committee shall be conclusive.

This Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 2, 1997 and amended on November 14, 2000, to increase the maximum number of Option Shares pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof from 300,000 to 400,000. 

			
	 	 	 

Exhibit A

TRUSTCORP FINANCIAL, INC.

1997 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN, AS AMENDED

OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS OPTION AGREEMENT is entered into effective ____________, 20__ (the “Option Date”), between Trustcorp Financial, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the “Company”), and

____________________________ (“Optionee”).

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted its 1997 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), to encourage selected employees of the Company to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the grant of options to purchase shares of its Common Stock, and has determined to afford the Optionee an option to purchase common stock pursuant to the Plan as hereafter described,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1.

Grant of Option.  The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of the number of shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company set forth below (the “Option Shares”), at the purchase price set forth below (the “Exercise Price”) and on the other terms and conditions herein set forth.

Total number of Option Shares:  ________

Exercise price per Option Share:  $_____

2.

Dates When Option Exercisable.

(a)

Exercisability.  The Option shall first become exercisable as to one-third of the total number of Option Shares on the first anniversary of the Option Date, and as to an additional one-third of the total number of Option Shares on each of the second and third anniversaries of the Option Date.  However, if a Change in Control occurs prior to the Expiration Date the Option shall become immediately exercisable as to all Option Shares, and the Company will promptly notify the Optionee of such fact.  For the purposes of this Option, “Change in Control” means:

(i)

a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity unless after such event at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or resulting entity is beneficially owned by persons who beneficially own a majority of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to such event, or

(ii)

the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or

			
	 	 	 

(iii)

the dissolution of the Company, or

(iv)

a change in the identity of a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors within any twelve-month period, which change or changes are not recommended by the incumbent directors determined immediately prior to any such change or changes.

(b)

Expiration.  The Option and all the Optionee’s rights with respect thereto shall terminate, to the extent the Option has not already been exercised, at the first to occur of:

(i)

The regularly scheduled closing time of the Company’s main business office on the tenth anniversary of the Option Date, or

(ii)

Except as provided in paragraph 2(c) or 2(d), the effective time of termination, for whatever reason, with or without cause (including without limitation by the voluntary act, death, disability, or retirement of the Optionee), of the Optionee’s Employment,

the time of such termination being referred to herein as the “Expiration Date.”  For purposes of this Agreement, “Employment” means an individual’s status as either (A) an employee for Federal income tax withholding purposes of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or (B) a duly elected or appointed member of the board of directors of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.  It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein is intended or shall be construed as an employment contract or as implying any obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Optionee’s Employment for any period of time after the Option Date.

(c)

Exercise After Death, Disability or Retirement.  In the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Employment by reason of the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement on or after attaining the age of 65, then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee or the executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the person or persons to whom the Option shall have been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (as the case may be), prior to the earlier of (A) the Expiration Date as determined under paragraph 2(b)(i), or (B) one year after the date of such termination of Employment, but only to the extent it was exercisable on the date of such termination of Employment.

(d)

Exercise After Termination of Employment by the Company Without Cause.  If the Optionee’s Employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause or the reasons set forth in paragraph 2(b), then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee prior to the earlier of (A) the Expiration Date as determined under paragraph 2(b)(i), or (B) three months after such termination of Employment, but only to the extent it was exercisable on the date of termination of the Optionee’s Employment.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” has the meaning set forth in the Optionee’s written employment agreement with the Company, or if no such agreement exists or if “Cause” is not defined in such agreement, then “Cause” means:

(i)

the Optionee’s conviction (including a plea of nolo contendere) of a felony or any other crime involving moral turpitude, unethical business conduct, or dishonesty involving the Company or persons having business dealings with the Company, or

			
	 	 	 

(ii)

any dishonest, wrongful or unethical conduct by the Optionee which in the judgment of a majority of the board of directors of the Company (with the Optionee not present or voting) may reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company’s business or reputation, or

(iii)

the material refusal to fully perform, or the material negligent performance of, the Optionee’s duties to the Company or its subsidiaries, or

(iv)

the Optionee’s refusal to transfer to a new employment location which is less than 60 miles away from the Optionee’s current employment location, or

(v)

such other reason as constitutes “cause” under the common law of Missouri as then in effect.

The determination of whether a particular termination is for Cause for purposes of these provisions shall be made by the board of directors of the Company and such decision, unless not made in good faith, shall be conclusive and non-appealable.

3.

Method of Exercising Option.  The Optionee (or representative as provided above) may exercise the Option hereby granted on one or more occasions at his or her discretion, on each occasion for all or any part of the Option Shares for which the Option is then exercisable, by each time delivering to the main business office of the Company, addressed to the attention of its Chief Executive Officer or Secretary, (1) a written notice stating his or her election to exercise the Option and the number of Option Shares to be purchased, and (2) cash or a check in full payment of the purchase price of the Option Shares to be purchased plus, if the Company so requires, the amount of any Federal and state withholding taxes payable by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a result of such exercise.  The Company will advise the Optionee, upon the Optionee’s reasonable prior request, of the required amount of such taxes, if any.  The Option shall be deemed to be exercised only upon receipt of such notice and payment by the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary.

4.

Non-Transferability of Option.  The Option may be exercised only by the Optionee or as otherwise provided above or by the Plan.  The rights granted by this Option may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way, other than by will or by operation of law and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  In the event of the bankruptcy of the Optionee, or in the event of any prohibited assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option, the Option shall automatically expire and shall be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, with prior notice to the Company the rights granted by this Option may be transferred between the Optionee in his or her personal capacity and the Optionee as trustee of a trust (A) of which the Optionee is both sole trustee and sole beneficiary during his or her lifetime, and (B) all of which is treated under subpart E of Part I of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as owned by the Optionee.

5.

Share Adjustments.  In the event of any stock dividend on, reclassification, split-up or combination of, or other change in, the Company’s common stock, then the number or kind 

			
	 	 	 

of Option Shares shall be correspondingly added to, reclassified, increased, diminished or changed proportionately, without increase or decrease in the aggregate purchase price of all Option Shares.

6.

No Rights of Optionee as Shareholder.  The Optionee shall have no rights respecting this Option or the Option Shares except as expressly set forth herein or in the Plan, a copy of which the Optionee hereby acknowledges having received; and the Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Option Shares until this Option has been duly exercised as to such Option Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.  The grant of this Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its common stock or its capital or business structure, or to merge or to consolidate, or to dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer any or all of its business or assets.

7.

Securities Laws.  Neither this Option nor any of the Option Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, in reliance on exemptions from the registration provisions thereof.  By acceptance hereof, the Optionee acknowledges such fact and agrees that this Option and any Option Shares will be held for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale, and may not be made subject to a security interest, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred without either an effective registration statement under such Act and compliance with applicable state securities laws, which may not be possible, or an opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to the attorneys for the Company that such registration is not required under such Act and that applicable state securities laws will not be violated by such action; and the Optionee further agrees that the certificates for such Option Shares shall bear a legend substantially to such effect.  The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

8.

Non-Solicitation Covenant.  As additional consideration for the granting of this Option to the Optionee by the Company, the Optionee hereby covenants to and with the Company that, regardless of whether the Option is exercised, if either (a) the Optionee voluntarily terminates his or her Employment or (b) the Company terminates the Optionee’s Employment for Cause, then during the two year period beginning on the date the Optionee’s Employment terminates the Optionee will not:

(i)

Divert or attempt to divert clients, customers (whether or not such persons have done business with the Company or its subsidiaries more than once) or accounts of the Company or its subsidiaries, or

(ii)

Entice or induce or in any manner attempt to influence any person who is then an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries to leave such Employment for the purpose of engaging in the banking business in the St. Louis metropolitan area or in any other business in competition with the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Optionee agrees that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for violation of any provision of this Agreement and acknowledges the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief for any such violation.  This Section 8 will not apply if the Optionee’s Employment terminates for any reason after a Change in Control.

			
	 	 	 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Optionee have executed this Option Agreement as of the date first above written.
