whether through ownership of stock, by contract or otherwise.

agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes
result in a change in the method of calculation of any financial covenants,
tests, restrictions or standards herein or in the related definitions or terms
used therein ("Accounting Changes"), the Agent, at the Company's request, will
enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a
credit- neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired
result that the criteria for evaluating the Company's and its Subsidiaries'
financial condition and results shall be the same in all material respects after

amendments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. In the
event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to
Agreement Accounting Principles shall mean generally accepted accounting
principles as of the date of such amendment. After the occurrence of any
accounting change but until such time as such amendment has been entered into,

notification by the Agent to such Lender; provided, further that any written
consent delivered after the passage of such ten (10) Business Day period shall

of the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum and the other documents,
instruments and agreements required pursuant to this Agreement and such
Alternate Currency Addendum, the new Alternate Currency Facility shall be

Commitments established under such Alternate Currency Facility, which notice
shall specify the Alternate Currency Commitment which is being activated, the
amount of such activation stated in U.S. Dollars and the requested date of
activation. (Such activation notice may be provided to the Agent at the time of

desires to activate the Alternate Currency Commitment immediately upon
establishment of the Alternate Currency Facility in which case no waiting period
shall be operative and only the advance notice period required by Section
2.3(b)(ii) shall be required). Upon activation of such Alternate Currency
Commitment of any Alternate Currency Lender, (i) Alternate Currency Loans may be
made under such Alternate Currency Facility, (ii) the amount of such Alternate
Currency Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall be immediately reduced by
the amount of such Lender's new Alternate Currency Commitment, (iii) the

aggregate amount of such Alternate

                                       20

<PAGE>

Currency Commitments, and (iv) the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit
Commitment of each Lender shall be recalculated by the Agent taking into effect
the reduced Revolving Credit Commitment of such Alternate Currency Lender. After
activation of any Alternate Currency Commitment, the Borrower may from time to
time thereafter deactivate such Alternate Currency Commitment upon ten (10)
Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, specifying the Alternate
Currency Commitment which is being deactivated, the amount of the Alternate
Currency Commitment being deactivated stated in U.S. Dollars and the requested
date of such deactivation. Upon deactivation of such Alternate Currency
Commitment of any Alternate Currency Lender, (i) the amount of such Alternate
Currency Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall be immediately increased by
the amount of such Lender's Alternate Currency Commitment deactivated, (iii) the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be immediately increased by the
aggregate amount of such Alternate Currency Commitments deactivated, and (iv)
the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall be
recalculated by the Agent taking into effect the increased Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments. The Agent shall, upon any activation or deactivation under
this Section 2.1(d), distribute a revised Schedule 1.1(a) to all of the Lenders
which shall indicate each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment and, if any,
Alternate Currency Commitments, together with such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the Aggregate Commitments and Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, which new
Schedule 1.1(a) shall automatically supersede any prior Schedule 1.1(a).
Alternate Currency Commitments may be reactivated and deactivated from time to
time pursuant to this Section 2.1(d).

             (e) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event
shall the Agent or Alternate Currency Lenders have the right to accelerate the
Alternate Currency Advances outstanding under any Alternate Currency Addendum or
to terminate their Alternate Currency Commitments (if any), except that such
Agent and Alternate Currency Lenders shall, in each case, have such rights upon
an acceleration of the Loans and a termination of the Commitments pursuant to
Section 8.1.

             (f) Immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of a Default
under Sections 7.6 or 7.7, (A) each Lender shall be deemed to have
unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from each Alternate Currency Lender,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in each
Alternate Currency Loan ratably in accordance with such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of the Aggregate Commitments, (B) immediately and automatically all Alternate
Currency Loans shall be converted to and redenominated in Dollars equal to the
U. S. Dollar Equivalent of each such Alternate Currency Loan determined as of
the date of such conversion, and (C) each Alternate Currency Lender shall be
deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from each Lender,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in each
Revolving Credit Loan and each LC Obligation ratably in accordance with such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitments. Each of the Lenders shall
pay to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender not later than two (2) Business
Days following a request for payment from such Lender, in Dollars, an amount
equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the Alternate Currency
Loan purchased by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1(f), and each of the
Alternate Currency Lenders shall pay to the applicable Lender not later than two
(2) Business Days following a request for payment from such Lender, in Dollars,
an amount equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the Revolving
Credit Loans and LC Obligations purchased by such Alternate Currency Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.1(f), it being the intent of the Lenders that
following such equalization payments, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata Share
of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure based on its Pro Rata Share of the
Aggregate Commitments. In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to any
other Lender of any amount due under this Section 2.1(f), the Agent shall be
entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and
interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Agent receives
from such Lender an amount sufficient to discharge such Lender's payment
obligation as prescribed in this Section 2.1(f) together with interest thereon
at the rate per annum equal to the Agent's cost of funds for each day during the
period commencing on the date

                                       21

affected Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the

Augmenting Lender), shall become effective under this Section 2.1(g) unless, (i)
on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set

certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a responsible officer
of the Company. On the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate

benefit of the other relevant Lenders, as being required in order to cause,

payments to such other relevant Lenders, each Lender's portion of the Aggregate
Outstanding Credit Exposure to equal its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate
Outstanding Credit Exposure and (ii) the Company shall be deemed to have repaid
and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase in the
relevant Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Loans, with
related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the
Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3). The deemed payments
made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of
each Eurocurrency Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Company
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other
than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. On the effective date of
any increase in the Aggregate Commitments, each Augmenting Lender and each
Increasing Lender shall be deemed a Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The
Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule 1.1(a) to all of the Lenders,
which new Schedule 1.1(a) shall automatically supercede any prior Schedule
1.1(a).

     2.2     Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt; Types of Advances.

     2.2.1 The Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure and all other unpaid
Obligations shall be paid in full to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders by
the relevant Borrower on the Facility Termination Date. Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender in
U.S. Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, for such
Loan, the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender to such
Borrower on the Facility Termination Date and on such other dates and in such
other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.
Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each
Lender interest in U.S. Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case
may be, for such Loan, on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans advanced to
it and from time to time outstanding until payment thereof in full at the rates
per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.9.

                                       22

<PAGE>

     2.2.2 The books and records of the Agent and of each Lender shall, absent
manifest error, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent
to maintain any such books and records or any error therein, shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable
interest) the Loans made to such Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

     2.2.3 The Borrowers agree that, upon the request to the Agent by any
Lender, the relevant Borrowers will execute and deliver to such Lender
promissory notes of the Borrowers evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such
Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C with appropriate insertions as to
date and principal amount (each, a "Revolving Credit Note"); provided, that the
delivery of such Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the Effective Date.

     2.2.4 The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Advances,
or a combination thereof, selected by the Company.

     2.3     Procedures for Borrowing.

             (a) The Company may borrow under the Commitments from time to time
prior to the Facility Termination Date on any Business Day. The Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers may borrow under the Alternate Currency Commitments from
time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date on any Business Day.

             (b) (i) The Company may from time to time request the making of a
Revolving Credit Advance by giving irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing Notice") to
the Agent (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 10:00 A.M.,
Chicago time, on the same Business Day of the Borrowing Date of each Floating
Rate Advance and not less than three Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date of each Eurocurrency Advance) specifying in each case (i) the
amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a
Business Day), (iii) the currency in which such Loan shall be denominated and
its Original Dollar Amount, and (iv) in the case of each Eurocurrency Advance,
the length of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing shall be in
Dollars or a Foreign Syndicated Currency the amounts of which shall be (a) (if
less than the Aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments) equal to or
greater than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 thereafter (or, if
the Advance is to be denominated in a Foreign Syndicated Currency, such
comparable and convenient amount thereof as the Agent may from time to time
specify) or (b) equal to the amount of the Aggregate Available Revolving Credit
Commitments. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Company relating to a
Revolving Credit Advance, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders. Not later
than 1:00 P.M., local time at the Agent's funding office for the Company, on the
requested Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata
Share of the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance requested to be
made on such Borrowing Date available to the Agent at the Agent's funding office
for the Company specified by the Agent from time to time by notice to the
Lenders and in immediately available or other same day funds customarily used
for settlement in Dollars or in the relevant Foreign Syndicated Currency (as the
case may be). The amounts made available by each Lender will then be made
available to the Company at the funding office for the Company and in like funds
as received by the Agent.

                  (ii) A Borrower may from time to time request the making of an
Alternate Currency Loan by giving irrevocable notice to the person to whom
notice should be delivered as provided in the applicable Alternate Currency
Addendum (which notice must be received by such person prior to 10:00 A.M.,
local time, not less than three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing
Date)

                                       23

<PAGE>

specifying in each case (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested
Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day falling one month or more before
the Facility Termination Date), (iii) the currency in which such Loan shall be
denominated and its Original Dollar Amount, (iv) the length of the initial
Interest Period therefor and, (v) such other information as may be required
pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum. Each borrowing shall be
in an Alternate Currency the amounts of which shall be (a) (if less than the
aggregate Available Alternate Currency Commitments for the applicable Alternate
Currency) equal to or greater than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$500,000 thereafter (or, such comparable and convenient amount thereof as the
Agent or the Applicable Alternate Currency Lenders may from time to time
specify) or (b) equal to the amount of the aggregate Available Alternate
Currency Commitments for the applicable Alternate Currency. Upon receipt of any
such notice from any such Borrower relating to an Alternate Currency Loan, the
person receiving such notice shall promptly notify the applicable Alternate
Currency Lenders. Not later than 2:00 P.M., local time at the funding office for
such Borrower, on the requested Borrowing Date, each applicable Alternate
Currency Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the
principal amount of each Alternate Currency Advance requested to be made on such
Borrowing Date available to the Borrower at the person's funding office for such
Borrower specified by such person from time to time by notice to the applicable
Alternate Currency Lenders and in immediately available or other same day funds
customarily used for settlement in the relevant Alternate Currency. The amounts
made available by each such Alternate Currency Lender will then be made
available to the relevant Borrower at the funding office for such Borrower and
in like funds as received by such person. In the event of any conflict between
the terms and condition of this Section 2.3(b)(ii) and an Alternate Currency
Addendum, the terms of the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum shall control.

             (c) If a Borrower requests that an Advance be denominated in a
Foreign Currency but the Agent is of the reasonable opinion that it is not
feasible for such Advance to be denominated in such Foreign Currency, then the
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders not later than 11:00 a.m. local
time on the Quotation Date for such Advance and such Advance shall not be made
unless the Borrower and the Lenders agree that such Advance shall be made in
Dollars or another Foreign Currency which is not similarly affected.

     2.4 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may permanently
reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, in whole or in part, ratably among the
Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days'
written notice to the Agent, and which notice shall specify the amount of any
such reduction, provided, however, that the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit
Exposure of all Lenders and the Aggregate Commitments may not be reduced below
the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure of all Lenders. In addition, all
accrued facility fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination
of the Commitments.

     2.5     Determination of Dollar Amounts. The Agent will determine the
Dollar Amount of:

             (a) all outstanding Loans and LC Obligations (i) on and as of the
last day of each Interest Period (but not less frequently than quarterly), (ii)
on receipt of any notice from the Company as to the reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments, and (iii) on any other Business Day elected by the Agent in its
discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders; and

             (b) all outstanding Loans and LC Obligations, on each Business Day
during which Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure exceeds 80% of the Aggregate
Commitments.

                                       24

<PAGE>

Each day upon or as of which the Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in
the preceding clauses (a) and (b) is herein described as a "Computation Date"
with respect to each Advance for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of
such day. If at any time the Dollar Amount of the sum of the Aggregate
Outstanding Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitments or the Dollar
Amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately repay
Advances in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate any such
excess.

     2.6     Facility and Agent Fees.

             (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each
Lender a facility fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Rate, on
the average daily amount of each Commitment of such Lender, whether used or
unused, from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Facility
Termination Date, payable on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility
Termination Date. The facility fee shall be payable in Dollars.

             (b) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for its own account,
such other fees as agreed to between the Company and the Agent.

     2.7     Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments on All Loans.

     2.7.1 The Company may at any time and from time to time prepay, without
premium or penalty but upon payment of any amount payable pursuant to Section
3.4, its Revolving Credit Advances in whole or in part, upon at least three
Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Agent specifying the date and amount of
prepayment. Partial payments of Revolving Credit Advances shall be in an amount
such that the Dollar Amount of the principal of a Revolving Credit Loan will be
reduced by $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $500,000 principal amount in
excess thereof (or, if such prepayment relates to a Loan denominated in a
Foreign Currency, such comparable and convenient amount thereof as the Agent may
from time to time specify). Prepayment of any Alternate Currency Loan shall be
subject to the provisions of the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum.

     2.7.2 Each prepayment and conversion pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of
prepayment and any amounts payable under Section 3.4 in connection with such
payment.

     2.7.3 If, at any time as of any date of determination, either (a) the
Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceed the Aggregate
Commitments, (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of all
Lenders exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, or (c) the U.S.
Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Alternate
Currency Advances in any Alternate Currency exceeds the Aggregate Alternate
Currency Commitments for such Alternate Currency, then the Borrowers shall
immediately prepay the Advances in an amount at least equal to such excess.

     2.7.4 Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be applied to prepay
Loans made to such Borrower in such order as the Company may direct.

     2.7.5 All amounts prepaid may be reborrowed and successively repaid and
reborrowed, subject to the other terms and conditions in this Agreement.

     2.8     Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating
Rate Advances shall

                                       25

<PAGE>

continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances
are converted into Eurocurrency Advances pursuant to this Section 2.8 or are
repaid in accordance with Section 2.7. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall continue
as a Eurocurrency Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period
therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Advance shall be automatically
converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurocurrency Advance is
or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the Borrower shall have
given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting
that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance continue as
a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the
terms of Section 2.3, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or
any part of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurocurrency Advance. The Borrower
shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of
each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurocurrency Advance or
continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time)
at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or
continuation, specifying:

                       (i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day,

of such conversion or continuation,

                       (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which

is to be converted or continued, and

                       (iii) the amount of such Advance which is to be converted

into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance and the duration of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

     2.9     Interest Rates, Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.

             (a) Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date
such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurocurrency Advance
into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.8, to but excluding the date
it is paid or is converted into a Eurocurrency Advance pursuant to Section 2.8
hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in
the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating
Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate
Base Rate. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period
at the interest rate determined by the Agent as applicable to such Eurocurrency
Advance based upon the Borrower's selections under Sections 2.3 and 2.8 and
otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Interest Period may end after
the Facility Termination Date. Each Alternate Currency Advance shall bear
interest as specified in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum.

             (b) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest
Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective
Date and at maturity.

             (c) Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but
not for the day of any payment of principal on the amount paid if payment is
received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of
principal of or interest on an Advance or of any fee shall become due on a day
which is not a Business Day, except as otherwise provided in the definition of
Interest Period, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

             (d) All interest and fees (including LC fees and facility fees)
shall be computed on

                                       26

<PAGE>

the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring during the period such interest or fee is payable over a
year comprised of 360 days (or in the case of interest denominated in Pounds
Sterling, 365 days or as may be otherwise specified in any Alternate Currency
Addendum) or, in any case where market practice differs, in accordance with
market practice. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.
No more than thirty (30) Revolving Credit Advances shall be permitted to exist
hereunder at any one time.

     2.10 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, during the continuance of a Default or
Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the
Company (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as,
converted into or continued (after the expiration of the current Interest
Period) as a Eurocurrency Advance. Upon and during the continuance of any
Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Company
(which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders as to changes and interest rates) declare that (i) each Eurocurrency
Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period
at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period (with the Applicable
Margin automatically adjusted to the highest amount possible, notwithstanding
where the Applicable Margin would otherwise be set) plus 2% per annum, and (ii)
each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum, provided that, upon
and during the continuance of any acceleration for any reason of any of the
Obligations, the interest rate set forth above shall be applicable to all
Advances without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender.

     2.11 Pro Rata Payment, Method of Payment. Each borrowing of an Advance by a
Borrower from the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Pro Rata
Shares of such Lenders in effect on the date of such borrowing. Each payment by
the Company on account of any facility fee shall be allocated by the Agent among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Any reduction
of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the Agent among the
Lenders pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders with respect
thereto. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each optional
prepayment by a Borrower on account of principal or interest on its Revolving
Credit Advances shall be allocated by the Agent pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts thereof. All payments (including
prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder in respect of amounts
denominated in Dollars, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise, shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in
immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent's address specified
pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent
specified in writing by the Agent to the Company, by 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time)
on the date when due. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any
Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type
of funds that the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article
XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent
from such Lender. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower
on account of an Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency, whether on account
of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff,
deduction, or counterclaim in the currency of such Advance (in same day or other
funds customarily used in the settlement of obligations in such currency) to the
Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the payment office for such Advances
specified from time to time by the Agent by notice to the Borrowers prior to
10:00 A.M. local time at such payment office on the due date thereof. The Agent
is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Company maintained with Bank
One for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder
unless otherwise directed by the Company.

                                       27

<PAGE>

     2.12 Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and
the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances and to transfer funds based on
telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender
reasonably and in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer. Each Borrower
agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such
confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice
signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any
material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records
of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

     2.13 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment
Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of
the contents of each Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, and
repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender and
the relevant Borrower of the interest rate applicable to each Advance promptly
upon determination of such interest rate. Promptly after notice from the LC
Issuer, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for
issuance of a Facility LC hereunder.

     2.14 Lending Installations. Each Lender may make and book its Loans and its
participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs
at any Lending Installation(s) selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the
case may be, and may change its Lending Installation(s) from time to time. All
terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation(s) and the
Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and the Notes, if any,
shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for
the benefit of such Lending Installation(s). Each Lender and the LC Issuer may,
by written or telex notice to the Agent and the applicable Borrower, designate
one or more Lending Installations which are to make and book Loans or issue
Facility LCs and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to
Facility LCs are to be made.

     2.15 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as
the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled
to make payment to the Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a
Loan or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees
to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make
such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to
the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or
Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent,
the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent
the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each
day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the rate per annum equal to the
Agent's cost of funds for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower,
the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

     2.16    Swing Line Loans.

     (a) Making of Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Lender may elect in its sole
discretion to make revolving loans denominated in Dollars and any other currency
which is readily available, freely traded and acceptable to the Swing Line
Lender (the "Swing Line Loans") to the Company solely for the Swing Line
Lender's own account, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date
up to an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed
the lesser of $20,000,000 or the Aggregate Available Revolving Credit
Commitments. The Swing Line Lender may make Swing Line Loans (subject to the
conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), provided that the Agent and the
Swing Line Lender have received a request in writing or via telephone from an
Authorized Officer of the Company for funding of a Swing Line Loans no later
than 11:00 A.M., London time, or noon (Chicago

                                       28

<PAGE>

time) (as determined by reference to the Applicable Lending Installation as
described below in this Section 2.16(a)), on the Business Day on which such
Swing Line Loans is requested to be made with respect to each currency
designated as "Same Day" on Schedule 2.16 and 11:00 A.M., London time one
Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such Swing Line Loan is
requested to be made with respect to each currency designated as "One Day
Notice" on Schedule 2.16, which notice shall specify the requested duration of
such Swing Line Loans, not to exceed ten (10) days unless otherwise agreed by
the Swing Line Lender. All notices to the Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall
be delivered by the Company (i) with respect to Swing Line Loans denominated in
Dollars, to the Agent's and the Swing Line Lender's Lending Installation in
Chicago, Illinois, and (ii) with respect to Swing Line Loans denominated in any
currency other than Dollars, to the Agent's and the Swing Line Lender's Lending
Installation in London, United Kingdom, unless and until otherwise directed by
the Agent and the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall not make any
Swing Line Loans in the period commencing one Business Day after the Swing Line
Lender becomes aware that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in
Section 4.2 are not satisfied and ending upon the satisfaction or waiver of such
condition(s). Each outstanding Swing Line Loan shall be payable on the earlier
of (i) the maturity date agreed to between the Swing Line Lender and the Company
or (ii) the Facility Termination Date, with interest at the rate agreed to
between the Swing Line Lender and the Company accrued thereon and shall
otherwise be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Loans, except
that all interest thereon shall be payable to the Swing Line Lender solely for
its own account.

     (b) Swing Line Loans Borrowing Requests. The Company agrees to deliver
promptly to the Agent and the Swing Line Lender a written confirmation of each
telephonic notice for Swing Line Loans signed by an Authorized Officer. If the
written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by
the Swing Line Lender, the records of the Swing Line Lender shall govern, absent
manifest error.

     (c) Repayment of Swing Line Loans. At any time after making a Swing Line
Loans, the Swing Line Lender may request the Company to, and upon request by the
Agent the Company shall, promptly request an Advance from all Lenders to the
Company and apply the proceeds of such Advance to the repayment of any Swing
Line Loans owing by the Company not later than the Business Day following the
Swing Line Lender's request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier to
occur of (a) one Business Day after demand is made by the Swing Line Lender, and
(b) the Facility Termination Date, each Lender (other than the Swing Line
Lender) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase from the Swing Line
Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in
such Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
Swing Line Loans and promptly pay such amount to the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds. Such payment shall be made by the other Lenders
whether or not a Default is then continuing or any other condition precedent set
forth in Section 4.2 is then met and whether or not the Company has then
requested an Advance in such amount; and such Swing Line Loans shall thereupon
be deemed to be a Loan hereunder made on the date of such purchase (except, as
aforesaid, with respect to the existence of any Default or the meeting of any
condition precedent specified in Section 4.2 on such date). If any Lender fails
to make available to the Swing Line Lender, any amounts due to the Swing Line
Lender from such Lender pursuant to this Section, the Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount, together with interest thereon at the rate per
annum equal to the Swing Line Lender's cost of funds for the first three
Business Days after such Lender receives notice of such required purchase and
thereafter, at the rate applicable to such Loan, payable (i) on demand, (ii) by
setoff against any payments made to the Swing Line Lender for the account of
such Lender or (iii) by payment to the Swing Line Lender by the Swing Line
Lender of amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under this Agreement. The
failure of any Lender to make available to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata
Share of any unpaid Swing Line Loans shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make available to the Swing Line Lender

                                       29

<PAGE>

its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid Swing Line Loans on the date such payment is to
be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender
to make available to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid
Swing Line Loans.

     2.17 Application of Payments with Respect to Defaulting Lenders. No
payments of principal, interest or fees delivered to the Agent for the account
of any Defaulting Lender shall be delivered by the Agent to such Defaulting
Lender. Instead, such payments shall, for so long as such Defaulting Lender
shall be a Defaulting Lender, be held by the Agent, and the Agent is hereby
authorized and directed by all parties hereto to hold such funds in escrow and
apply such funds as follows:

             (a) First, if applicable to any payments due to the Agent or the

     Swing Line Lender under Section 2.16; and

             (b) Second, to Loans required to be made by such Defaulting Lender
     on any Borrowing Date to the extent such Defaulting Lender fails to make
     such Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of the Commitments and the
payment and performance of all of the Obligations (other than those owing to a
Defaulting Lender), any funds then held in escrow by the Agent pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be distributed to each Defaulting Lender, pro rata in
proportion to amounts that would be due to each Defaulting Lender but for the
fact that it is a Defaulting Lender.

     2.18 Advances to be made in Euro. If any Advance made (or to be made) on or
after the Euro Implementation Date would, but for this provision, be capable of
being made either in the Euro or in a National Currency Unit, such Advance shall
be made in the Euro.

     2.19    Facility LCs.

     2.19.1 Issuance. The LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial letters of credit
(each, a "Facility LC") and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise
modify each Facility LC ("Modify," and each such action a "Modification"), from
time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the
Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Company; provided that
immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate
amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii)
the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate
Commitment. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier of
(x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one
year after its issuance or, if agreed by the LC Issuer, eighteen (18) months
after its issuance.

     2.19.2 Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer
of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without
further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each
Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro
Rata Share.

     2.19.3 Notice. Subject to Section 2.19.1, the Company shall give the LC
Issuer notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least five Business Days
prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC,
specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and
the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such
Facility

                                       30

<PAGE>

LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon
receipt of such notice, the LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent, and the
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the
amount of such Lender's participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance
or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the
conditions precedent set forth in Article IV (the satisfaction of which the LC
Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent
that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that the
Company shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such
other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer
shall have reasonably requested (each, a "Facility LC Application"). In the
event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any
Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

     2.19.4 LC Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (i) with
respect to each standby Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate
equal to the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time on the average daily
undrawn stated amount under such standby Facility LC, such fee to be payable in
arrears on each Payment Date, and (ii) with respect to each commercial Facility
LC, a one-time letter of credit fee in an amount equal to the reasonable and
customary fees quoted by the LC Issuer from time to time, calculated on the
initial stated amount (or, with respect to a Modification of any such commercial
Facility LC which increases the stated amount thereof, such increase in the
stated amount) thereof, such fee to be payable on the date of such issuance or
increase (each such fee described in this sentence an "LC Fee"). The Company
shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) at the time of issuance
of each standby Facility LC, a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.075% of the
original face amount of such Facility LC, and (y) documentary and processing
charges in connection with the issuance or Modification of and draws under
Facility LCs in accordance with the LC Issuer's standard schedule for such
charges as in effect from time to time.

     2.19.5 Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the
beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC,
the LC Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the
Company and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a
result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the "LC Payment Date"). The
responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Company and each Lender shall be only to
determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under
each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in
all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to
exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as
it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are
granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or
willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and
irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any
condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i)
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer
under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the
Company pursuant to Section 2.19.6 below, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing
amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC
Issuer's demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00
a.m. (Chicago time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the
date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of
interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three
days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to
Floating Rate Advances.

     2.19.6 Reimbursement by Company. The Company shall be irrevocably and
unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable
LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing
under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities
of any kind; provided that neither the Company nor any Lender shall hereby be

                                       31

<PAGE>

precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages
suffered by the Company or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent,
caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in
determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it
complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer's failure to
pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such
amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Company shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to (x) the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day
falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2% plus the
rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after
such LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Company
for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation
in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent
such Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC
pursuant to Section 2.19.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in
compliance with Section 2.3 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article IV), the Company may request an Advance hereunder
for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

     2.19.7 Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligations under this Section
2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company
may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a
Facility LC. The Company further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that
the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Company's
Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by,
among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any
or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among
the Company, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any
financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred
or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Company or of any of its Affiliates
against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer
shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Company agrees that any
action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection
with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Company and
shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Company.
Nothing in this Section 2.19.7 is intended to limit the right of the Company to
make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to
the first sentence of Section 2.19.6.

     2.19.8 Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected
by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such
advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate
or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully
protected in respect of the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of

                                       32

<PAGE>

a participation in any Facility LC.

     2.19.9 Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Agent, and their respective
directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims
and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, the LC
Issuer or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, the
LC Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection
with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure
to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC,
including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs
or expenses which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i)
the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the
LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the
Company may have against any defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on
account of the LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC at the direction of the Company
which specifies that the term "Beneficiary" included therein includes any
successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC
does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be
accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer,
evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the
Company shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, the LC Issuer or the
Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the
extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any
Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) the LC Issuer's
failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in
this Section 2.19.9 is intended to limit the obligations of the Company under
any other provision of this Agreement.

     2.19.10 Lenders' Indemnification Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Company) against any cost, expense (including reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability
(except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful
misconduct or the LC Issuer's failure to pay under any Facility LC after the
presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with
this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

     2.19.11 Facility LC Collateral Account. The Company agrees that it will,
upon the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final
expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any Reimbursement
Obligation is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility
LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory
to the Agent (the "Facility LC Collateral Account") at the Agent's office at the
address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of such Company but
under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders
and in which such Company shall have no interest other than as set forth in
Section 8.1. The Company hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on
behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a
security interest in all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to
all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC
Collateral Account, together with all investments made therefrom, and all
interest or other income or gain arising from such funds, to secure the prompt
and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent will invest
any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in
certificates of deposit of Bank One or other Cash Equivalents acceptable to the
Agent having a maturity not exceeding 30 days; provided that the Agent shall at
all times maintain a perfected security interest in such investments for the
ratable benefit of the LC Issuer and the Lenders. Nothing in this Section
2.19.11 shall either obligate the Agent to require the Company to deposit any
funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of

                                       33

<PAGE>

the Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in
each case other than as required by Section 8.1.

     2.19.12 Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer
shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES, TAXES

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

     3.1     Yield Protection. If after the date hereof the introduction of, or
any change in, any applicable law or any governmental or quasi-governmental
rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the
force of law), or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or the
compliance of any Lender or the LC Issuer therewith,

             (a) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or
     the LC Issuer to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments
     due from any Borrower or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any
     Lender or the LC Issuer in respect of its Loans, Facility LCs or
     participations therein or other amounts due it hereunder (excluding income
     taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on the
     Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender as a result of a present or former
     connection between the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender and the
     jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
     political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, other than
     any such connection arising solely from the Agent, the LC Issuer or such
     Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received
     a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document),
     or

             (b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve,
     assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement
     against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
     by, any Lender, the LC Issuer or any applicable Lending Installation (other
     than reserves, assessments and other charges taken into account in
     determining the Eurocurrency Rate), or

             (c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase
     the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC
     Issuer of making, funding or maintaining loans, or of issuing or
     participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any
     Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in
     connection with loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires
     any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make
     any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans, Facility LCs or
     participations therein, held or interest received by it, by an amount
     deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be,

then, within 15 days of written demand by the Agent on behalf of such Lender or
the LC Issuer, as the case may be, providing evidence of expenses actually
incurred or reductions in amounts to be received under this Agreement actually
suffered, the affected Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the
case may be, that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an
amount received which is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its
Loans, Facility LCs or Commitment.

     3.2     Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation
of such Lender, the LC Issuer or any

                                       34

<PAGE>

corporation controlling such Lender or LC Issuer is increased as a result of a
Change, then, within 15 days of written demand by the Agent on behalf of such
Lender or LC Issuer, the Company shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the
amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the
portion of such increased capital which such Lender or the LC Issuer reasonably
determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or
its obligation to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the
case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's or the LC
Issuer's policies as to capital adequacy). "Change" means (a) any change after
the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (b) any
adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the LC
Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or
the LC Issuer. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital
guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement,
including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations
promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the
July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory
Practices Entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and
Capital Standards," including transition rules, and any amendments to such
regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

     3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender reasonably determines
that maintenance of its Loans at a suitable Lending Installation, would violate
any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the
force of law, the Loans of such Lender that are so affected shall be repaid (a)
upon demand by such Lender if it shall be unlawful for such Lender to maintain
the affected Loan until the end of the Interest Period for the affected Loan, or
(b) at the end of the Interest Period for the affected Loan. If the Required
Lenders reasonably determine that (i) deposits of a currency, type and maturity
appropriate to match fund Loans are not available or (ii) the interest rate
applicable to a Loan does not accurately reflect the cost of making or
maintaining such Loans, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of the
affected Loan or Loans and require any such Loan or Loans of the affected type
to be repaid at the end of the Interest Period for such Loan or Loans.

     3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of an Advance occurs on a date
which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of
acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or an Advance is not made on the date
specified by a Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, such
Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it
resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in
liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Advance.

     3.5 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably
possible, each Lender and the LC Issuer shall designate an alternate Lending
Installation with respect to its Loans or Facility LCs or participations therein
to reduce any liability of a Borrower to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the
case may be, under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of an
Advance under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to
such Lender or the LC Issuer in any material respect. Each Lender or the LC
Issuer, as the case may be, shall deliver a written statement of such Lender or
the LC Issuer to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) as to the
amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such written statement shall
set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender or the LC
Issuer, as the case may be, determined such amount and shall state that amounts
determined in accordance with such procedures are being charged by such Lender
or the LC Issuer to other borrowers with credit facilities similar to this
Agreement and credit characteristics comparable to the Company as determined by
such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive
and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

                                       35

<PAGE>

Determination of amounts payable under such sections shall be calculated as
though each Lender funded such Loans through the purchase of a deposit of the
type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in
determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is
the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any Lender or the LC Issuer shall be payable on demand
after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement. The
obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 shall survive
payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. The Borrowers
shall have no obligation to compensate any Lender or the LC Issuer with respect
to amounts provided in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.6 with respect to any period
prior to the date which is 180 days prior to the date such Lender or the LC
Issuer delivers its written statement hereunder requesting compensation (except
such longer period during which solely because of the retroactive application of
such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive such Lender did not
know in good faith that such amount would arise or accrue).

     3.6     Taxes.

     3.6.1 All payments of principal and interest made by the Borrowers under
this Agreement, any Facility LC Application and any Note, if any, shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of,
any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income
taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on the
Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from
the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed
its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to
be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender
hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to the Agent, the LC Issuer
or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent,
the LC Issuer or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest
or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates and in the amounts
specified in this Agreement provided, however, that (i) with respect to any Loan
or Facility LC in U.S. Dollars to the Company, the Company shall not be required
to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not organized under
the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender fails
to comply with the requirements of Section 3.6.2, (ii) with respect to any Loan
or Facility in any Foreign Currency, a Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender if such Lender fails to comply
with the requirements of Section 3.6.4 and (iii) with respect to any Loan in any
Foreign Currency, the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender or the Agent to the extent such
Lender could avoid the payment of such amount by changing its Lending
Installation, provided that any such change in any Lending Installation shall
not be required if such Lender has reasonable cause not to change its Lending
Installation or such Lender has reasonably determined that it is disadvantageous
in any material respect for it to do so. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are
payable by a Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter (but in any event
within thirty (30) days of payment thereof) such Borrower shall send to the
Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be,
a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower
showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when
due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall
indemnify the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a
result

                                       36

<PAGE>

of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

     3.6.2 Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof shall:

             (a) at least five Business Days before the date of the initial
     payment to be made by a Borrower under this Agreement to such Lender,
     deliver to the Company and the Agent (A) two duly completed copies of
     United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor
     applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to
     receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of
     any United States federal income taxes and (B) an Internal Revenue Service
     Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
     certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
     withholding tax;

             (b) deliver to the Company and the Agent two further copies of any
     such form or certification at least five Business Days before the date that
     any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the
     occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
     previously delivered by it to the Agent and the Company;

             (c) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such
     forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or
     the Agent; and

             (d) file amendments to such forms as and when required.

     3.6.3 Each Lender (or Transferee) that is incorporated or organized under
the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof shall provide two
properly completed and duly executed copies of Form W-9, or successor applicable
form, at the times specified for delivery of forms under Section 3.6.2 unless an
event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation)
has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder which renders
all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so
advises the Company and the Agent; provided, however, that the Company may rely
upon such forms provided to the Company for all periods prior to the occurrence
of such event. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant
to Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related
transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements
required pursuant to this Section, provided that in the case of such
Participant, the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this Section 3.6.3
shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender, except that such
Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements
to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

     3.6.4 Each Lender that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of
the jurisdiction (i) in which a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated or
organized, or (ii) in which such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is located, and, in
either case, is a Lender to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (whether under the
Revolving Credit Commitment or an Alternate Currency Commitment) shall, upon
request by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, within a reasonable period of time
after such request, deliver to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or the
applicable governmental or taxing authority, as the case may be, any form or
certificate required in order that any payment by such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender may be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Non-Excluded Tax (or to allow any such deduction or

                                       37

<PAGE>

withholding to be at a reduced rate) imposed on such payment under the laws of
the jurisdiction under which such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated,
organized or located, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete,
execute and deliver such form or certificate and such completion, execution or
submission would not prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

     3.6.5 Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize
any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6,
including, without limitation, the filing of applicable reports and returns with
applicable taxing bodies, provided that such effort shall not impose on any such
Lender any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender
in its reasonable judgment to be material. In the event that any Lender
determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim by it under
this Section 3.6 has occurred or will occur, such Lender will use its best
efforts to so notify the Company in writing, provided that any failure to
provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of any Lender to demand
and receive compensation under this Section 3.6.

     3.6.6 If any payment by any Borrower is made to or for the account of any
Lender after deduction for or on account of tax, and additional payments are
made by such Borrower then, if any Lender shall receive or be granted a credit
against, refund or remission for such tax, such Lender shall, to the extent that
it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit,
refund or remission, reimburse to such Borrower such amount as such Lender
shall, in its absolute opinion, have concluded to be attributable to the
relevant tax or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall
interfere with the right of any Lender to arrange its affairs in whatever manner
it thinks fit and, in particular, the Lenders shall not be under any obligation
to claim relief from its corporation profits or similar tax liability in respect
of such tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions
available to it nor oblige any Lenders to disclose any information relating to
its tax affairs. Such reimbursement shall be made as soon as reasonably
practical upon such Lender certifying that the amount of such credit or
remission has been received by it.

     3.7 Substitution of Lender. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make or
maintain Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 when not all Lenders'
obligations to do so have been suspended, (b) any Lender has demanded
compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 when all Lenders have not done so or (c)
any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall have the right, if no
Default then exists, to replace such Lender (a "Replaced Lender") with one or
more other lenders (collectively, the "Replacement Lender") acceptable to the
Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section
3.7, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignments pursuant to
which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitments and outstanding
Advances and other obligations of the Replaced Lender and, in connection
therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal
to the sum of (A) the amount of principal of, and all accrued interest on, all
outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) the amount of all accrued, but
theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender hereunder and (C) the
amount which would be payable by the Borrowers to the Replaced Lender pursuant
to Section 3.4, if any, if the Borrowers prepaid at the time of such replacement
all of the Loans of such Replaced Lender outstanding at such time; provided,
that, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to compensation under clause (C) or
under Section 3.4 upon any such payment, and (ii) all obligations of the
Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically
described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price
has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced
Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective
Assignments, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above
and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement
Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the
Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall
cease to constitute a Lender hereunder. The

                                       38

<PAGE>

provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 3.4 and
10.7) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a Replaced Lender
with respect to any Loans made or any other actions taken by such lender while
it was a Lender. Nothing herein shall release any Defaulting Lender from any
obligation it may have to any Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender.

             (h) The presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the

     dated October 16, 1998, among the Company, certain other borrowers named

     the proceeds of the initial Advance.

             (i) The Agent shall have reasonably determined that since April 18,

     primary or secondary loan syndication markets, financial markets or in

             (k) Such other agreements and documents, and the satisfaction of

             (b) The representations and warranties contained in Article V are
     true and correct in all material respects as of such Borrowing Date except

hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company and such
Borrower that the conditions contained in Sections 4.2(a) and (b) have been
satisfied.

                                    ARTICLE V

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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

     Each of the Company and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (insofar as the
representations and warranties set forth below relate to such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower) represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

     5.1 Corporate Existence and Standing. Each of the Company and its
Significant Subsidiaries and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other organization, duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all
requisite corporate, partnership, company or similar authority to conduct its
business as presently conducted.

                                       40

<PAGE>

     5.2 Authorization and Validity. Each Borrower has the corporate or other
power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents
and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of
the Borrowers of the Loan Documents and the performance of their obligations
thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the
Loan Documents to which they are a party constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance
with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by equitable principles affecting the availability of specific
performance and other remedies.

     5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by
the Borrowers of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions
therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate
any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award
binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company's or any
Subsidiary's articles of incorporation, code of regulations or by-laws or the
provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property,
is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Lien permitted by Section
6.13) in, of or on the Property of the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to the
terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent,
approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or
registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any
governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is
required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability
of, any of the Loan Documents.

     5.4 Financial Statements. The December 29, 2002 audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the March 30, 2003
interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries
heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were
prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations
of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

     5.5 Material Adverse Change. Since December 29, 2002, there has been no
change in the business, Property, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise)
or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.6 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States
federal tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be
filed by any Governmental Authority and have paid all taxes shown as due
pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Authority, except such taxes, if
any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have
been provided in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles and as to which
no Lien (other than as permitted by Section 6.13) exists. No tax liens have been
filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, in each
case other than as permitted by Section 6.13. The charges, accruals and reserves
on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or
other governmental charges are adequate.

     5.7 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule
5.7 hereto, there is no litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of any of their executive officers, any governmental investigation or
inquiry pending or any litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation,
proceeding or inquiry threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of the
Credit Extensions. Other than any liability incident to such

                                       41

<PAGE>

litigation, arbitration or proceedings listed on Schedule 5.7, the Company and
its Significant Subsidiaries have no material contingent obligations not
provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section
5.4.

     5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 hereto contains an accurate list of all
Significant Subsidiaries of the Company as of the date of this Agreement,
setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization
and the percentage of their respective capital stock owned by the Company or
other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
such Significant Subsidiaries held by the Company have been duly authorized and
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

     5.9 ERISA. Each member of the Controlled Group has fulfilled its
obligations in all material respects under the minimum funding standards of
ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. Each member of the Controlled
Group is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with
respect to each Plan except where such non compliance would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event which has or may result
in any material liability has occurred with respect to any Plan, and no steps
have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Single Employer Plan. No member
of the Controlled Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard
under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any
contribution or payment to any Single Employer 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 Code or (iii) incurred any material, actual liability under Title IV of
ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of
ERISA.

     5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Agent or to any
Lender in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents contained any
material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances in which made, as of the date thereof.

     5.11 Regulations T, U and X. Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of
those assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any
limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder and the Company and
its Subsidiaries are in compliance with Section 6.2.

     5.12 Compliance With Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied
with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any
domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having
jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of
their respective Property if failure to comply could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.13 Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Company and its Significant
Subsidiaries have not engaged in any prohibited transaction within the meaning
of Section 4.06 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which could result in any
material liability; and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making
of Credit Extensions (assuming that the Lenders do not fund any of the Credit
Extensions with any "plan assets" as defined in ERISA) hereunder give rise to a
non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

     5.14    Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the
officers of the Company consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the
business of the Company and its

                                       42

<PAGE>

Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks
and liabilities accruing to the Company and its Subsidiaries due to
Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Company has
reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Significant
Subsidiaries has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not
in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental
Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether
any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous
waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.15 Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     5.16 Public Utility Holding Company Act. No Borrower is a "holding company"
or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", or an "affiliate" of a
"holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", within
the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

     5.17    Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

             (a) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is a direct or indirect
     Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (excluding director qualifying
     shares); and

             (b) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower will have, upon becoming a
     party hereto, all right and authority to enter into this Agreement and each
     other Loan Document to which it is a party, and to perform all of its
     obligations under this and each other Loan Document to which it is a party;
     all of the foregoing actions will have been taken prior to any request for
     Loans by such Borrower, duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
     of such Borrower, and when such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower becomes a party
     hereto, this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party
     will constitute valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable
     in accordance with their respective terms except as such terms may be
     limited by the application of bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency and
     similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable
     principles affecting the availability of specific performance and other
     remedies.

     5.18 Ownership of Properties. On the Effective Date, the Company and its
Subsidiaries will have good title, free of all Liens (other than as permitted by
Section 6.13), to all Property and assets reflected in the financial statements
as owned by it other than defects in title which would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be anticipated to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.19 Reportable Transaction. Neither any Borrower nor any Subsidiary
intends to treat the Advances and related transactions as being a "reportable
transaction" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In
the event any Borrower or any Subsidiary determines to take any action
inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify the Agent thereof.

     6.2 Use of Proceeds. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
use the proceeds of all Credit Extensions, to refinance existing Indebtedness,
for working capital or general corporate purposes. None of the proceeds of any

indirectly, in violation of any applicable law or regulation, including without
limitation Regulations T, U or X, or to purchase or carry any Margin Stock.

requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its

maintain insurance with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (or
self-insurance programs) on their Property in such amounts (with such customary
deductibles, exclusions and self-insurance) and covering such risks as
management of the Company reasonably considers consistent with sound business
practice.

     6.7 Compliance with Laws. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary
to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments,
injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject except for such
noncompliance as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

intervals shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided, however, that
such examination shall exclude examination or disclosure of "personal data"

Affiliate except in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to the
reasonable requirements of the Company's or such Subsidiary's business and upon

Indebtedness"); or the default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the
performance of any term, provision or condition contained in any agreement under
which any such Material Indebtedness was created or is governed, or any other

Material Indebtedness to cause, such Material Indebtedness to become due prior
to its stated maturity; or any Material Indebtedness of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be

in this Section 7.6 or (vi) fail to contest in good faith any appointment or
proceeding described in Section 7.7.

     7.7 Without its application, approval or consent, a receiver, trustee,
examiner, liquidator or similar official shall be appointed for the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or any Substantial Portion of their respective Property,
or a proceeding described in Section 7.6(iv) shall be instituted against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such appointment continues undischarged
or such proceeding continues undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60

<PAGE>

other Property of the Company and its Subsidiaries so condemned, seized,

proceedings under which it is likely to prevail under Title IV of ERISA to
terminate, to impose liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                 ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
                 ----------------------------------------------

     8.1     Acceleration; Facility LC Collateral Account.

             (a) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs, the
obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power
of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the
Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby
expressly waive and without any election or action on the part of the Agent, the
LC Issuer or any Lender and the Company will be and become thereby
unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to
the Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in
the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of
LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC
Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims
of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such
difference, the "Collateral Shortfall Amount")

             (b) If any Default occurs and is continuing (other than a Default
described in Section 7.6 or 7.7), the Required Lenders may (a) terminate or
suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make

                                       50

<PAGE>

Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or
declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon (if so
declared) the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers
hereby expressly waive, and (b) upon notice to the Company and in addition to
the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this
Agreement, make demand on the Company to pay, and the Company will, forthwith
upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Agent the
Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC
Collateral Account.

                  (i) If at any time while any Default is continuing, the Agent
determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than
zero, the Agent may make demand on the Company to pay, and the Company will,
forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the
Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the
Facility LC Collateral Account.

                  (ii) The Agent may at any time or from time to time after
funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to
the payment of the Obligations owing under this Agreement and any other amounts
as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Company to the
Lenders or the LC Issuer under the Loan Documents.

                  (iii) At any time while any Default is continuing, neither the
Company nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Company shall have
any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral
Account. After all of the Obligations owing under this Agreement have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any
funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the
Agent to the Company or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such
time.

                  (iv) After acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or
termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation
and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any
Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect
to any Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the
Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in
their sole discretion) may direct the Agent and upon such direction the Agent
shall, by notice to the Company, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or
termination.

     8.2     Amendments.

     8.2.1 Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders
(or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the
Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any
Default hereunder; provided however, that no such supplemental agreement shall,
without the consent of all of the Lenders:

             (a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry
date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date or
postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all
or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation
related thereto, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or
fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligation related thereto.

                                       51

<PAGE>

             (b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
Lenders.

             (c) Extend the Facility Termination Date, or reduce the amount or
extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.7,
or increase the amount of any Commitment of any Lender hereunder or the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or the Aggregate Commitments (other than
any increase in accordance with Section 2.1(d) or 2.1(g)), or permit any
Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

             (d) Amend this Section 8.2.1.

             (e) Release any Borrower or any Guarantor.

     8.2.2 In addition to amendments effected pursuant to the foregoing, the
Schedules may be amended as follows:

             (a) Schedule 1.1(b) will be amended to add Subsidiaries of the
Company as additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers upon (A) execution and
delivery by the Company, any such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and the Agent, of
a Joinder Agreement providing for any such Subsidiary to become a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, (B) delivery to the Agent of (a) such other documents with
respect thereto as the Agent shall reasonably request and (b) the written
approval of the Agent in its sole discretion.

             (b) Schedule 1.1(b) will be amended to remove any Subsidiary as a
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower upon (A) written notice by the Company to the Agent
to such effect and (B) repayment in full of all outstanding Loans of such
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

             (c) Schedule 2.16 may be amended, modified, supplemented or
replaced from time to time with the consent of the Swing Line Lender and the
Company.

     8.2.3 No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating
to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent, no
amendment of any provision relating to the Swing Line Lender shall be effective
without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender and no amendment of any
provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written
consent of the LC Issuer. The Agent may waive payment of the fee required under
Section 13.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Defaulting
Lender shall not be entitled to vote (whether to consent or to withhold its
consent) with respect to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver and,
for purposes of determining the Required Lenders, the Commitments and the Loans
of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded and the Agent shall have the
ability, but not the obligation, to replace any such Defaulting Lender with
another lender or lenders.

     8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC
Issuer or the Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair
such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence
therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a
Default or the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to
such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial
exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation
of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be
valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2,
and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies
contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded

                                       52

<PAGE>

shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the LC Issuer and
the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                    GUARANTEE

                                    ---------

     9.1     Guarantee.

             (a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees
to the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, endorsees,
transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

             (b) The Company further agrees to pay any and all expenses
(including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Agent, or any Lender in enforcing,
or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or
collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with
respect to, or collecting against, the Company under this Section. This Section
shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full and
the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior
thereto the Borrowers may be free from any Obligations.

             (c) No payment or payments made by any Borrower or any other Person
or received or collected by the Agent or any Lender from any Borrower or any
other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of
or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of the Company hereunder which shall,
notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable hereunder for the
Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are
terminated.

             (d) The Company agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to
time, it shall make any payment to the Agent or any Lender on account of its
liability under this Section, it will notify the Agent and such Lender in
writing that such payment is made under this Section for such purpose.

     9.2 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the
Company hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Company by the
Agent or any Lender, the Company shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any
of the rights of the Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or against any
collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Agent or any
Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Company seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers in respect
of payments made by the Company hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Agent
and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations are paid in full
and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company
on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Company in
trust for the Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Company,
and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Company, be turned over to the Agent in
the exact form received by the Company (duly endorsed by the Company to the
Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as Agent may determine. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

     9.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. The
Company shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against the Company, and without notice to or further
assent by the Company, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by
the Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by such Agent or such Lender, and any
of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other
party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee
therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in
whole or in part be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Agent or any Lender, and any
Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in
part, in accordance with the provisions thereof as the Agent (or the requisite
Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Agent
or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. None of the Agent or any Lender shall have any
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it
as security for the Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject
thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Company, the Agent or any
Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the
Borrowers or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Agent or any Lender to
make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrowers or any such
other guarantor or any release of the Borrowers or such other guarantor shall
not relieve the Company of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall
not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter
of law, of the Agent or any Lender against the Company. For the purposes hereof
"demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal
proceedings.

     9.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Company waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations
and notice of or proof of reliance by the Agent or any Lender upon this
Agreement or acceptance of this Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them,
shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or
renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Agreement; and all
dealings between the Borrowers and the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent
and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have
been had or consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. The Company waives
diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers and the Company with respect to the
Obligations. This Article IX shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity,
regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of
the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right
of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the
Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a
defense of payment or performance by the Borrowers) which may at any time be
available to or be asserted by the Borrowers against the Agent or any Lender, or
(c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of
the Borrowers or the Company) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers for the
Obligations, or of the Company under this Section 9.4, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance (other than a defense of payment or performance by the
Borrowers). When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Company,
the Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such
rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrowers or any other Person or
against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Agent or any Lender to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Borrowers or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral
security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of
the Borrowers or any such other Person or of any such collateral security,
guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Company of any liability
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the

                                       54

<PAGE>

rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law,
of the Agent or any Lender against the Company. This Article IX shall remain in
full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its
terms upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall have been satisfied by
payment in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that
from time to time during the term of this Agreement the Borrowers may be free
from any Obligations.

     9.5 Reinstatement. This Article IX shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or Trustee or similar
officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.

     9.6 Payments. The Company hereby agrees that all payments required to be
made by it hereunder will be made to the Agent without set-off or counterclaim
in accordance with the terms of the Obligations, including, without limitation,
in the currency in which payment is due.

                                    ARTICLE X

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

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

     10.1 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the
Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of the Loan
Documents and the making of the Credit Extensions herein contemplated.

     10.2 Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, neither the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be
obligated to extend credit to a Borrower in violation of any limitation or
prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

     10.3 Taxes. Subject to any limitations set forth in Section 3.6, any taxes
(excluding income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes)
imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent
or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document)) or other similar assessments or charges made by any governmental or
revenue authority in respect of the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Company,
together with interest and penalties, if any.

     10.4 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience
of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the
provisions of the Loan Documents.

     10.5 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding among the Borrowers, the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the
Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof
other than any fee letters among any Borrowers and any of the Agent or

                                       55

<PAGE>

Arranger and any other agreements of any of the Borrowers with the Agent which
survive the execution of the Loan Documents.

     10.6 Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender
shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the
Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of
its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any
right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and
their respective successors and assigns.

     10.7    Expenses; Indemnification.

             (a) The Borrowers shall reimburse on demand the Agent and the
Arranger for any reasonable costs, and out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent) paid or
incurred by the Agent or the Arranger in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, review, amendment, modification,
and administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrowers also agree to reimburse
on demand the Agent, the LC Issuer, the Arranger and the Lenders for any
reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, the LC
Issuer, the Arranger and the Lenders, which attorneys may be employees of the
Agent, the LC Issuer, the Arranger or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the
Agent, the LC Issuer, the Arranger or any Lender in connection with the
collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents. The Borrowers acknowledge and
agree that from time to time the Agent may prepare and may distribute to the
Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the
Lenders) certain audit reports (the "Reports") pertaining to any Borrower's and
Guarantors' assets for internal use by the Agent from information furnished to
it by or on behalf of the Borrowers, after the Agent has exercised its rights of
inspection pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, if any Lender requests
copies of any future similar Reports which the Agent has prepared, then the
Agent will provide such reports to such Lender provided that such Lender has
executed an indemnity agreement acceptable to the Agent.

             (b) The Borrowers hereby further agree to indemnify the Agent, the
LC Issuer, the Arranger and each Lender, and their respective directors,
officers, employees and advisors against all losses, claims, damages, penalties,
judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses
of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent, the LC Issuer,
the Arranger or any Lender is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or
incur at any time arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect
application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension
hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking
indemnification. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 10.7 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

     10.8 Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and
requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Agent with sufficient counterparts
so that the Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.

     10.9 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting
terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations
hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. For
purposes of Article VI (including any baskets or limitations expressed in U.S.
Dollars therein) of this Agreement, any Indebtedness, Investment or other amount

                                       56

<PAGE>

made or incurred in any currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be deemed to be
the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof.

     10.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that
is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall,
as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without
affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation,
enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to
this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

     10.11 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers and
the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither
the Agent, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary
responsibilities to any Borrower. Neither the Agent, the LC Issuer nor any
Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform any
Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower's business
or operations. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agent, the LC Issuer nor
any Lender shall have liability to any Borrower (whether sounding in tort,
contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Borrower in connection with,
arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the
relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable order that such losses
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of
applicable laws or any of the Loan Documents by, the party from which recovery
is sought. Neither the Agent, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any
liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees
not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the
Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

     10.12 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential
information which it may receive from any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in
confidence, and will not disclose or use for any purpose other than its credit
evaluation under this Agreement such confidential information, except for
disclosure: (i) to any Transferee or prospective Transferee to the extent
provided in Section 13.4; (ii) to any affiliate of such Lender, or any officer,
director, employee or agent of such affiliate; provided, that such affiliate
agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive in confidence
and not to disclose or use such confidential information for any purpose other
than to assist the lender in its credit evaluation under this Agreement; (iii)
to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to that Lender (or
such affiliate thereof) to the extent necessary to advise that Lender (or such
affiliate thereof) concerning its rights or obligations in respect of this
Agreement; provided, that such professional advisor agrees to hold any
confidential information which it may receive in confidence and not to disclose
or use such confidential information for any purpose other than advising that
Lender with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement; (iv) to
regulatory officials to the extent required by applicable law, rule,
regulations, order, policy or directive (whether or not any such policy or
directive has the force of law); (v) pursuant to any order of any court,
arbitrator or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (or as otherwise
required by law); provided, however, that the Lender (or other Person given
confidential information by such Lender) shall provide the Company with prompt
notice of any such required disclosure so that the Company may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy, unless such notice is prohibited under
applicable law, and in the event that such protective order or other remedy is
not obtained, such Lender (or such other Person) will furnish only that portion
of the confidential information which is legally required, and (vi) to the
extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Previously confidential information
that is or becomes available to the public or becomes available to such Lender
other than as a result of disclosure by (i) any Lender prohibited by this
Agreement or (ii) any person to whom a Lender is permitted to disclose such
information under

                                       57

<PAGE>

obligation of confidentiality as provided in this Section 10.12, shall no longer
be subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 10.12.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, confidential information shall
not include, and the Agent and each Lender (and each employee, representative or
other agent of the Agent and any Lender for so long as they remain an employee,
representative or other agent) may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case,
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions
contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other
tax analyses) that are or have been provided to the Agent or any Lender relating
to such "tax treatment" or "tax structure"; provided that with respect to any
document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the
"tax treatment" or "tax structure" of the transactions contemplated hereby as
well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of
the document or similar item that relate to the "tax treatment" or "tax
structure" of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     10.13 Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on
or looking to any Margin Stock for the repayment of the Credit Extensions
provided for herein.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    THE AGENT

                                    ---------

     11.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Bank One is hereby appointed by
the Lenders as the Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each
of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as the contractual
representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Agent agrees to act as such
contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article
XI. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term "Agent," it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary
responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative
of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders'
contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary
duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a "representative" of the Lenders within
the meaning of Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting
as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each
of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency
theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of
which claims each Lender hereby waives.

     11.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the
Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent shall not have any implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the
Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by
the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

     11.3 General Immunity. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or any Lender
for (a) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the
extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Person; or (b) any determination by the Agent that
compliance with any law or any governmental or

                                       58

<PAGE>

quasi-governmental rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) requires the Advances and Commitments
hereunder to be classified as being part of a "highly leveraged transaction".

     11.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without
limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each
Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV; (iv)
the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any
Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection
therewith; (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any
Lien in any collateral security; (vi) the existence or possible existence of any
Default or Unmatured Default; or (vii) the financial condition of any Borrower
or Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Agent shall not have
any duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be
furnished by the Borrowers to such Agent at the time, but is voluntarily
furnished by the Borrowers to the Agent (either in its capacity as the Agent or
in its individual capacity).

     11.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any
other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the
Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required under Section 8.2.1), and such
instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of the Obligations. The Lenders
hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall not be under any duty to take any
discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in
writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan
Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

     11.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its
duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through
employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the
Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized
agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders
and all matters pertaining to the Agent's duties hereunder and under any other
Loan Document.

     11.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to
legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel
may be employees of the Agent.

     11.8 Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to
reimburse and indemnify (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) the Agent ratably in
proportion to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of their respective Commitments (or, if
the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent of their respective Commitments immediately prior to such
termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Company for which the
Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Company or the

                                       59

<PAGE>

other Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred
by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, and
(iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in
any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document
delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or
the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents,
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.8
shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

     11.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless
the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to
this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Agent receives such
a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

     11.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender, the Agent
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan
Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent,
and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, at any time when the Agent is a
Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its
individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other
transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Company
or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

     11.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other
Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     11.12 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company, such resignation to be effective
upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no such successor Agent has
been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
intention to resign. The Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause
by written notice received by the Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal
to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on
behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent to such Agent. If no
such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within
thirty days after such resigning Agent's giving notice of its intention to
resign, then such resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Company and the
Lenders, a successor Agent for itself. If the Agent has resigned or been removed
and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the
duties of the Agent hereunder and the Company shall make all payments in respect
of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall
deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be
appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any
such

                                       60

<PAGE>

successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings
of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
resigning or removed Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal
of the Agent, the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness
of the resignation or removal of an Agent, the provisions of this Article XI
shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Agent in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents.

     11.13 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that
the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its
Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate's directors, officers, agents
and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be
entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver, and other
protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles X and XI.

     11.14 Arranger. Each Lender and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Arranger, in such capacity, shall not have any duties or responsibilities, nor
incur any liabilities, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in its
capacity as such.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                        SETOFF; ADJUSTMENTS AMONG LENDERS

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

     12.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the
Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs, any and all deposits
(including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not
collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by
any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or account of any
Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing
to such Lender by such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

     12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has
payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure to a Borrower (other
than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 or 10.7) in a
greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit
Exposure to such Borrower held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase
each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of Aggregate Outstanding Credit
Exposure to such Borrower. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or
amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or
other protection or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender
agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all
Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their
respective Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case
any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate
further adjustments shall be made.

                BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
                -------------------------------------------------

     13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders
and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrowers shall
not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan
Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with
Section 13.3. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section, any Lender may at any
time, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Agent, assign all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement, and the Loan Documents to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment to a Federal Reserve
Bank shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The
Agent may treat the payee of any Loan Document as the owner thereof for all
purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 13.3 in the
case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written
notice of the transfer is filed with the Agent. Any assignee or transferee of
any of the Advances or a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all
the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or
consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent is the owner of any of the Advances or a holder of any
Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or
assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

     13.2    Participations.

     13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 13.4, any Lender
may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable
law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants")
participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lender, any
Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of
such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender
of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
such Lender shall remain the holder of its Outstanding Credit Exposure or Note
for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers
under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participating interests (including without limitation payments with respect to
Non-Excluded Taxes), and the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents.

     13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or
waiver with respect to any Credit Extension or Commitment in which such
Participant has an interest which would require the consent of all Lenders under
Section 8.2.1.

     13.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall
be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a Lender under the Loan Documents and any such setoff shall be applied to the
Obligations, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided
in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to
each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each
Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1, agrees
to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its
right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2 as if
each Participant were a Lender.

     13.3    Assignments.

     13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Subject to Section 13.4 and the further
provisions of this Section 13.3, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or
more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial
institutions or funds that are engaged in making, purchasing or otherwise
investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business or, any
other entity ("Purchasers") all or any part of its rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit G hereto (an "Assignment") or in such other form as may be agreed to by
the parties thereto. The consent of the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Company
shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that, the consent of the
Company shall not be required during the continuance of any Default. Each such
assignment shall be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 (or
its U.S. Dollar Equivalent), or (ii) the remaining amount of the assigning
Lender's Commitment (calculated as at the date of such assignment). No
Assignment shall be permitted by a Lender that has any Alternate Currency
Commitment unless (i) the assignee agrees to assume the entire obligation of the
assignor to make Alternate Currency Loans and agrees to assume all outstanding
Alternate Currency Loans and (ii) such assumptions by the assignee do not result
in any Borrower being required to make additional payments to any Lender under
this Agreement.

     13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of a notice
of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I to Exhibit G
hereto (a "Notice of Assignment"), together with any consents required by
Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent for processing
such assignment (provided that such fee shall not be required if such assignment
is to an existing Lender or an Affiliate thereof), such assignment shall become
effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The
Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the
effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the
Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment
agreement are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and
interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan
assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such
Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any
other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it
were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Company,
the Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with
respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitments and Outstanding Credit
Exposure assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to
a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Agent
and the Company shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes,
if applicable, are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as
appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in
principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant
to such assignment.

     13.4 Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an
interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession
concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided
that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section
10.12.

     13.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States or any State thereof (in the case of a Transferee which is a
Lender to the Company), or of the jurisdiction in which a Foreign

                                       63

<PAGE>

Subsidiary Borrower is located (in the case of a Trustee which is a Lender to
such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower), the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with
the provisions of Section 3.6. No interest in a Loan may be transferred to any
Person if as a consequence of such transfer any Borrower shall be required to
make additional payments to any Lender under this Agreement.

other parties hereto, which change shall be effective seven (7) days after
receipt.

taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may

and the Lenders and each party has notified the Agent by facsimile or telephone,
that it has taken such action.

DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

     16.3    Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.

             (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

                  (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
     proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
     it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
     respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of any United

     appellate courts from any thereof;

                  (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be
     brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
     hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such
     court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient
     court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

                  (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or
     proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
     certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
     prepaid, to the Company or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case
     may be, at the address specified in Section 14.1, or at such other address
     of which the Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

                  (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
     effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
     limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

                  (v) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any
     right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
     referred to in this subsection any special, exemplary, punitive or
     consequential damages.

             (b) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
the Company as its agent for service of process in any proceeding referred to in
Section 16.3(a) and agrees that service of process in any such proceeding may be
made by mailing or delivering a copy thereof to it care of

Company at its address for notices set forth in Section 14.1.

     16.4 Acknowledgments. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

             (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution
     and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

             (b) none of the Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship
     with or duty to such Borrower arising out of or in connection with this
     Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between
     the Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other
     hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and
     creditor; and

             (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
     Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
     hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrowers and the Lenders.

     16.5 Power of Attorney. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby grants to
the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to act as its attorney-in-fact with
regard to matters relating to this Agreement and each other Loan Document,
including, without limitation, execution and delivery of any amendments,
supplements, waivers or other modifications hereto or thereto, receipt of any
notices hereunder or thereunder and receipt of service of process in connection
herewith or therewith. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby explicitly
acknowledges that the Agent and each Lender have executed and delivered this
Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, and has performed
its obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is
a party, in reliance upon the irrevocable grant of such power of attorney
pursuant to this subsection. The power of attorney granted by each Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is coupled with an interest.

     16.6    Judgment.

             (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency,
the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so
under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency in the city in which it normally conducts its
foreign exchange operation for the first currency on the Business Day preceding
the day on which final judgment is given.

             (b) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from
it to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
(the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement
Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency
such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the
Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of Agreement
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the
Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees notwithstanding any such judgment to
indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, such Lender
agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 As Amended and Restated 
 July 17, 2003 
  
 BURLINGTON NORTHERN SANTA FE 
 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ STOCK PLAN 
  
 SECTION 1 
  
 GENERAL 
  
 1.1. Purpose. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Non-Employee
Directors’ Stock Plan (the “Plan”) has been established by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation (the “Company”) to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to
attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable directors and by encouraging such directors to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company. 
  
 1.2. Operation and Administration. The operation and administration of the Plan shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 4. Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere in the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 2 
  
 OPTION AWARDS 
  
 2.1. Terms and Conditions. 
  
 Each Option Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement and shall comply with the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) Each year as of the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the
Company (or, if later, the date which is two business days after the release of the Company’s earnings results for the first quarter of the year), each Eligible Director who is a member of the Board as of the date of such Annual Meeting shall
automatically receive an Option Award for 3,000 shares of Stock. 
  
 (b) The option exercise price shall be the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such an Option Award on the date of grant. 
  
 (c) The Option Award shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, unless the Participant has made an irrevocable election to receive a transferable option with the Secretary of the Company prior to the date of grant or as may be required by rules established by the Board. Such transferable Option
Awards may be transferred by a Participant for no consideration to or from the Participant’s Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of a 

 Participant’s Immediate Family or a Family Partnership for members of the Immediate Family), and the transferee
shall remain subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to such Option Award prior to such transfer. 
  
 (d) If an individual becomes an Eligible Director during a Plan Year on a date other than the first day of the Plan Year, he shall be granted an Option
Award for the year, with the number of shares of stock subject to the Option Award reduced pro-rata to reflect the portion of the Plan Year that has elapsed prior to the date on which he becomes an Eligible Director. A Director’s Option Award
under this paragraph (d) shall be made on the first business day on which he is an Eligible Director (the “Award Date” for that Option Award), and the Fair Market Value of the Stock so awarded shall be determined as of that date.

  
 (e) The Option Awards under this subsection 2.1 shall be
subject to the vesting provision set forth in subsection 2.2. 
  
 2.2. Vesting. Option Awards shall be exercisable commencing one (1) year from the date of grant. A Participant who ceases to be a Director shall forfeit the Option Award which is not vested on his Date of Termination;
provided, however, that (i) if a Participant ceases to be a Director by reason of his Retirement, death or Disability, any portion of the Option Award that is not then vested shall vest on his Date of Termination; and (ii) any portion of the Option
Award that is held by an individual serving as a Director on the date of a Change in Control that is not then vested shall vest on the date of the Change of Control. 
  
 2.3. Exercise. To the extent that an Option Award is exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or in part by
filing a written notice with the Secretary of the Company at its corporate headquarters prior to the date the Option expires. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock which the Participant elects to purchase, and shall be accompanied
by payment of the exercise price for such shares of Stock indicated by the Participant’s election. Payment shall be by cash or by check payable to the Company, except that all or a portion of such required amount may be paid by delivery of
shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (valued as of the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of cash which would otherwise be required. 
  

2.4. Expiration. An Option Award granted to a Director shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Award Date; provided, however, that
in no event shall the Option Award be exercisable after the first anniversary of the Date of Termination of the Director. 
  
 SECTION 3 
  
 RETAINER STOCK AWARDS 
  
 3.1. Terms and Conditions. As of the date of the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, each Director who is then an Eligible
Director shall be granted a Retainer Stock Award. Thereafter, as of the date of each subsequent Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, each Director who is then an Eligible Director (excluding any Eligible Director who has previously
received a Retainer Stock Award) shall be granted a Retainer Stock Award, provided, however, that no grants of Retainer Stock Awards shall be 

 made under subparagraph (a) of this Section 3.1 after December 31, 2000, and no grants of Retainer Stock Awards shall be
made under subparagraph (b) of this Section 3.1 after December 31, 2003. The Retainer Stock Award shall be as follows: 
  
 (a) The Retainer Stock Award shall consist of the grant of 3,000 shares of Stock, to vest as follows: 
  
 1) One-third of the Retainer Stock Award shall vest after three years, but no
later than six years, from the date of grant upon attaining Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value on date of grant increased by 12% compound annual growth rate for a three year period, provided such price has been maintained for thirty
(30) consecutive trading days either immediately prior to or any time after the third year; 
  
 2) One-third of the Retainer Stock Award shall vest after four years, but no later than six years, from the date of grant upon attaining Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value on date of grant increased by
12% compound annual growth rate for a four year period, provided such price has been maintained for thirty (30) consecutive trading days either immediately prior to or any time after the fourth year; 
  
 3) One-third of the Retainer Stock Award shall vest after five years, but no
later than six years, from the date of grant upon attaining Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value on date of grant increased by 12% compound annual growth rate for a five year period, provided such price has been maintained for thirty
(30) consecutive trading days either immediately prior to or any time after the fifth year. 
  
 (b) As of December 31 for any year in which a Director has made a Deferral Election as described in Supplement A, each Eligible Director who has made a Deferral Election shall receive an additional Retainer Stock
Award equal to 150 percent of Cancelled Compensation, which shall vest three years from the date of grant. 
  
 (c) The Retainer Stock Awards granted under this subsection 3.1 shall be subject to the vesting provision set forth in subsection 3.3. 
  
 3.2. Fractional Shares. If the number of shares that may be
vested under a Retainer Stock Award for a Director would result in a fractional share, then the number of shares otherwise available shall be reduced to the next lowest number that would result in the allocation of no fractional shares. 

 
 3.3. Vesting. A Participant who ceases to be a Director
prior to vesting of a Retainer Stock Award shall forfeit a Retainer Stock Award which is not vested on his Date of Termination; provided, however, that (i) if a Participant ceases to be a Director by reason of his Retirement, death or Disability,
any portion of the Retainer Stock Award that is not then vested shall vest on his Date of Termination, provided that in the event of Retirement, any Retainer Stock Award granted under Section 3.1(a) shall be vested upon a pro rata basis based upon
the number of years which have elapsed from the date of grant divided by the five year term of the grant if the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock from the date of grant has increased by a 12% 

 compound annual growth rate and if such value has been maintained for thirty (30) consecutive trading days within the six
month period prior to date of Retirement, or such Retainer Stock Award shall be forfeited; and (ii) any portion of the Retainer Stock Award that is held by an individual serving as a Director on the date of a Change in Control that is not then
vested shall become vested on the date of the Change of Control. 
  
 3.4. Limit on Stock. Stock granted as a Retainer Stock Award shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) Such Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date it is vested. 
  
 (b) Each certificate issued in respect of such Stock shall be registered in
the name of the Participant and deposited, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company. 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant as owner of shares of Stock granted to him as a Retainer Stock Award shall have all the
rights of a stockholder, including but not limited to the right to vote such shares and the right to receive all dividends paid on such shares; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of a Participant with respect
to record dates for such dividends occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited the Stock. 
  
 SECTION 3A 
  
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS 
  
 3A.1. Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of this Section 3A, a Restricted Stock Unit entitles an Eligible Director to receive one
share of Stock for the unit at the end of a vesting period to the extent provided by the Award with the vesting of such unit also to be contingent upon such conditions as may be set forth in the Award. During any period in which Restricted Stock
Units are outstanding and have not been settled in Stock, the Eligible Director shall not have the rights of a stockholder, but shall have the right to receive a payment from the Company in lieu of a dividend in an amount equal to such dividends and
at such times as dividends would otherwise be paid. 
  
 3A.2.
Grant. 
  
 (a) Immediately following the Annual
Meeting on April 18, 2001, each Director who is then an Eligible Director shall be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award under this paragraph (a) of Section 3A.2. Thereafter, as of the date of each subsequent Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the
Company (or, if later, the date which is two business days after the release of the Company’s earnings results for the first quarter of the year), each Director who is then an Eligible Director (excluding any Eligible Director who has
previously received a Restricted Stock Unit Award under this paragraph (a) of Section 3A.2) shall be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award under this paragraph (a) of Section 3A.2. The Restricted Stock Unit Awards under this paragraph (a) shall
consist of a grant of 1,000 Restricted Stock Units. 

 (b) In addition to the grants described in the preceding paragraph (a) of this Section 3A.2, on July 24,
2003, each Director who is then an Eligible Director shall be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award of 1,400 Restricted Stock Units under this paragraph (b) of Section 3A.2. Thereafter, as of the date of each subsequent Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Company (or, if later, the date which is two business days after the release of the Company’s earnings results for the first quarter of the year), each Director who is an Eligible Director as of the date of such Annual
Meeting shall be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award of 1,400 Restricted Stock Units under this paragraph (b) of Section 3A.2. If an individual becomes an Eligible Director during a Plan Year on a date other than the date of the Annual Meeting for
such Plan Year, he shall be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award under this paragraph (b) of Section 3A.2 on the first business day on which he is an Eligible Director, and the amount of such award shall be 1,400 Restricted Stock Units reduced
pro-rata to reflect the portion of the Plan Year that has elapsed prior to the date on which he becomes an Eligible Director. 
  
 (c) The Restricted Stock Units granted under this Section 3A.2 shall vest as follows: 
  
 (i) upon the Date of Termination of the Eligible Director’s service on the Board, provided, however,
that as of such Date of Termination such Director must have served on the Board at least until the next Annual Meeting following such Director’s election to the Board; and 
  
 (ii) as otherwise provided in Section 3A.3 below. 
  
 3A.3. Vesting. A Director who does not serve on the Board at
least until the next Annual Meeting following such Director’s election to the Board shall forfeit such Restricted Stock Unit Award; provided, however, that (i) if the Director ceases to be a Director by reason of his Retirement, death or
Disability, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest on his Date of Termination, and (ii) any portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award that is held by an individual serving as a Director on the date of a Change in Control that is not then vested
shall become vested on the date of the Change of Control. 
  
 3A.4. Limit on Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units granted as a Restricted Stock Unit Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date they are vested. 
  
 SECTION 4 
  
 OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION 
  
 4.1. Effective Date. Subject to the approval of the
stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 1996 annual meeting of its stockholders, the Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan shall be unlimited in duration and, in the event of Plan termination, shall remain in effect as
long as any shares of Stock or Restricted Stock Units awarded under it are outstanding and not fully vested. 

 4.2. Shares Subject to Plan. The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made
under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or currently held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions. Subject to the provisions of
subsection 4.4, the number of shares of Stock which may be issued with respect to Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 300,000 shares in the aggregate. Except as otherwise provided herein, any shares subject to an Award which for any reason
expires or is terminated without issuance of shares (whether or not cash or other consideration is paid to a Participant in respect of such Award) shall again be available under the Plan. 
  
 4.3. Adjustments to Shares. 
  
 (a) If the Company shall effect a reorganization, merger, or consolidation, or similar event or effect any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of Stock or other capital readjustment, payment of stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination of shares or recapitalization or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Stock outstanding without receiving
compensation therefor in money, services or property, then the Committee shall adjust (i) the number of shares of Stock available under the Plan; (ii) the number of shares available under any individual or other limits; (iii) the number of shares of
Stock or Restricted Stock Units subject to outstanding Awards; and (iv) the per-share price under any outstanding Award to the extent that the Participant is required to pay a purchase price per share with respect to the Award. 
  
 (b) If the Committee determines that the adjustments in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this section would not be fully consistent with the purposes of the Plan or the purposes of the outstanding Awards under the Plan, the Committee may make such other adjustments to the Awards to the extent that the Committee
determines such adjustments are consistent with the purposes of the Plan and of the affected Awards. 
  
 4.4. Limit on Distribution. Distribution of shares of Stock or Restricted Stock Units or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to
the following: 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, the Company shall have no liability to issue any shares of Stock or Restricted Stock Units under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws and
the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. 
  
 (b) The Committee shall add such conditions and limitations to any Award to any Participant who is subject to Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as is necessary to comply with Section
16(a) or 16(b) and the rules and regulations thereunder or to obtain any exemption therefrom. 
  
 (c) To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of shares of Stock, the transfer of such shares may, at the direction of the Committee, be effected on a non-certificated
basis, to the extent not prohibited by the provisions of Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable rules. 

 4.5. Taxes. All Awards and other payments under the Plan are subject to all applicable
taxes which shall be obligations of the Participant. 
  
 4.6.

incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the Committee may direct that payment be made to a relative or friend of such person for his benefit until claim is made by a conservator or other person legally charged with the care
of his person or his estate, and such payment or distribution shall be in lieu of any such payment to such Participant or other person. Thereafter, any benefits under the Plan to which such Participant or other person is entitled shall be paid to

extent permitted by law, against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Committee or its members or
authorized delegates by reason of the performance of a Committee function if the Committee or its members or authorized delegates did not act dishonestly or in willful violation of the law or regulation under which such liability, loss, cost or
expense arises. This indemnification shall not duplicate but may supplement any coverage available under any applicable insurance. 
  
 SECTION 6 
  
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that, subject to subsection 4.3 (relating to certain adjustments to shares), no
amendment or termination may adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award made under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event
shall the provisions of the Plan relating to Awards under the Plan be amended more than once every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the
rules thereunder; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall be applied only to the extent required under SEC Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii)(B) or any successor provision thereof. 

 SECTION 7 
  
 DEFINED TERMS 
  
 For purposes of the Plan, the terms listed below shall be defined as follows: 
  

	(a)	 	Award. The term “Award” shall mean an award of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units granted to any person under the Plan.

  

	(b)	 	Board. The term “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 

  

	(c)	 	Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 

  
 (1) any “person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the
Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; 
  
 (2) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the effective date of this provision), individuals who
at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (1), (3) or (4) of this
definition) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period
or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; 
  
 (3) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company other than (i) a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than
80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or 

 consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company
(or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 25% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or 
  
 (4) the stockholders of the Company adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or approve an
agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. For purposes of this clause (4), the term “the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets” shall mean a sale or other disposition transaction or series of related transactions involving assets of the company or of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (including the stock of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the
Company) in which the value of the assets or stock being sold or otherwise disposed of (as measured by the purchase price being paid therefor or by such other method as the Board of Directors of the Company determines is appropriate in a case where
there is no readily ascertainable purchase price) constitutes more than two-thirds of the fair market value of the Company (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “fair market value of the Company” shall be
the aggregate market value of the outstanding shares of Stock (on a fully diluted basis) plus the aggregate market value of the Company’s other outstanding equity securities. The aggregate market value of the shares of Stock (on a fully diluted
basis) outstanding on the date of the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction or series of related transactions (the “Transaction Date”) shall be determined by the average closing price of the
shares of Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Transaction Date. The aggregate market value of any other equity securities of the Company shall be determined in a manner similar to that prescribed in the immediately preceding
sentence for determining the aggregate market value of the shares of Stock or by such other method as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine is appropriate. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a merger, consolidation, acquisition of common control, or business combination of the
Company and a Class I Railroad or a holding company of a Class I Railroad shall not constitute a “Change in Control” unless the Board makes a determination that such transaction shall constitute a “Change in Control.” 

 

	(d)	 	Date of Termination. A Participant’s “Date of Termination” shall be the day following the last day on which he serves as a Director.

	(e)	 	Director. The term “Director” means a member of the Board. 

  

	(f)	 	Disability. A Participant shall be considered to have a “Disability” during the period in which he is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical
or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than 120 days. 

  

	(g)	 	Effective Date. The “Effective Date” means the date of the Company’s 1996 annual stockholders meeting. 

  

	(h)	 	Eligible Director. Each Director who is not an employee of the Company or any Related Company shall be an “Eligible Director”. 

  

	(i)	 	Fair Market Value. The “Fair Market Value” of the Stock shall be the mean between the highest and lowest quoted sales prices of a share of Common Stock on
the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Report; provided, that if there were no sales on the valuation date but there were sales on dates within a reasonable period both before and after the valuation date, the Fair Market Value is the
weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the valuation date. The average is to be weighed inversely by the respective numbers of trading days between the selling dates
and the valuation date and shall be determined in good faith by the Committee. 

  

	(j)	 	Immediate Family. With respect to a particular Participant, the term “Immediate Family” shall mean the Participant’s spouse, children, stepchildren,
adoptive relationships, sisters, brothers and grandchildren. 

  

	(k)	 	Option Award. The term “Option Award” shall mean a non-qualified stock option granted under the Plan. 

  

	(l)	 	Participant. A “Participant” is any person who has received an Award under the Plan. 

  

	(m)	 	Plan Year. The term “Plan Year” means the period (i) beginning on the date of the Company’s annual stockholders meeting and (ii) ending on the day
immediately prior the first day of the following Plan Year. The first Plan Year shall begin on the Effective Date. 

  

	(n)	 	Related Companies. The term “Related Company” means any company during any period in which it is a “subsidiary corporation” (as that term is
defined in Code section 424(f)) with respect to the Company. 

  

	(o)	 	Retirement. The term “Retirement” means termination of service as a Director in accordance with and pursuant to the Retirement Policy for Directors adopted
by the Company. 

	(p)	 	SEC. “SEC” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

  

	(q)	 	Stock. The term “Stock” shall mean shares of common stock of the Company.
