     AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of May 2, 2001 among THE
PEPSI BOTTLING GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), BOTTLING
GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Guarantor"), the banks,
financial institutions and other institutional lenders (the "Initial Lenders")
listed on the signature pages hereof, and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK ("Chase"), as
Agent (in such capacity, the "Agent") for the Lenders.

     The Company, the Initial Lenders and the Agent are parties to a Credit
Agreement dated as of May 3, 2000 (as heretofore amended, modified and in effect
on the date hereof, the "Existing Credit Agreement") providing for the making of
loans by the Lenders to the Company in an aggregate principal amount at any one
time outstanding not exceeding $250,000,000.

     The parties hereto wish to amend the Existing Credit Agreement to, among
other things, extend the Termination Date by 364 days and add State Street Bank
and Trust Company (the "New Lender") as an "Initial Lender" thereunder, and to
restate the Existing Credit Agreement to read in its entirety as set forth in
the Existing Credit Agreement (which Existing Credit Agreement is incorporated
herein by this reference) as so amended (as so amended and restated, the "Credit
Agreement"). The parties hereto agree as follows:

     Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings given them in the Existing Credit Agreement.

     Section 2. Amendments. The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended,
effective as of the Restatement Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof), as
follows, and as so amended is restated in its entirety effective on the
Restatement Date:

          (a) General. Each reference to this "Agreement" and words of similar
     import in the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby
     shall be deemed to be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as
     amended and restated hereby and as the same may be further amended,
     supplemented and otherwise modified and in effect from time to time.

          (b) Termination Date. The definition of "Termination Date" set forth
     in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety
     to read as follows:

               "Termination Date" means May 1, 2002 or, if earlier, the date of
          termination in whole of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or
          6.01 or, in the case of any Lender whose Commitment is extended
          pursuant to Section 2.06(c), the date to which such Commitment is
          extended; provided in each case

          that if any such date is not a Business Day, the relevant Termination
          Date of such Lender shall be the immediately preceding Business Day."

          (c) New Lender. The New Lender shall be deemed to be an "Initial
     Lender" under and for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and each
     reference in the Credit Agreement to "Initial Lender" shall be deemed to
     include the New Lender.

          Section 3.  Representations and Warranties. Each of the Company and
the Guarantor (each, a Loan Party") represents and warrants that (i) each of
the representations and warranties of such Loan Party contained in Section 4.01
of the Existing Credit Agreement, after giving effect to the amendment and
restatement contemplated hereby, is true and correct on and as of the
Restatement Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the
Restatement Date, and as if each reference in Section 4.01(e) to "December 25,
1999" referred to "December 30, 2000", and (ii) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing on and as of the Restatement Date. The Company
agrees that if any representation and warranty contained in this Section 3
shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, it shall
be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 6.01(b) of the Existing
Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby.

          Section 4. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become
effective on the date (the "Restatement Date") on which the Agent notifies the
Company that the following conditions have been satisfied:

          of the Company and of the Guarantor approving this Agreement, and of

      determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to
      such change or cessation; or

                  (iv) the location and number of the Company's or such
            Borrower's account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall
            comply with the requirements of Section 2.7.

      Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the details
thereof by telecopy, inviting the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.

      (b) Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or
more Competitive Bids to the Company or to the Company on behalf of any of the
Borrowers in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a
Lender must be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and must be
received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, not later than 9:30 a.m., New
York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive
Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially in the form
approved by the Administrative Agent may be rejected by the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as
promptly as practicable. Competitive Loans to be funded pursuant to a
Competitive Bid may, as provided in Section 9.4(h), be funded by a Lender's
Designated Bank. A Lender making a Competitive Bid may, but shall not be
required to, specify in its Competitive Bid whether the related Competitive
Loans are intended to be funded by such Lender's Designated Bank, as provided in
Section 9.4(h). Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the identity of the
Lender and the contact person at such Lender for such Competitive Bid, (ii) the
principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the
Competitive Borrowing requested by the Company or by the Company on behalf of
any of the Borrowers) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the applicable
Lender is willing to make, (iii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which such
Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate
per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and (iv)
the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and the last day thereof.

      (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company or the
Company in respect of any of the Borrowers by telecopy of the Competitive Bid
Rate and the principal amount specified in each Competitive

                                      -78-
<PAGE>
Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid.

      (d) Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, the Company or the
Company on behalf of any of the Borrowers may accept or reject any Competitive
Bid. The Company or the Company on behalf of any of the Borrowers shall notify
the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept
or reject each Competitive Bid, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time,
three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing;
provided that (i) the failure of the Company to give such notice shall be deemed
to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) the Company shall not accept a
Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Company rejects
a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate
amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Company shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related
Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause
(iii) above, the Company may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid
Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such
Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of
each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no
Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive
Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000; provided further that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount
less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such
Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple
thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions
of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to
clause (iv) above the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in a manner determined by the Company. A notice given by the Company
or the Company on behalf of any of the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph
shall be irrevocable.

      (e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by
telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the
amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will
thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the
Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted. A
Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Competitive Loan may
designate its Designated Bank (if any) to fund such Competitive Loan on its
behalf, as described in Section 9.4(h). Any Designated Bank which funds a
Competitive Loan shall on and

                                      -79-
<PAGE>
after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Competitive
Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due.

      (f) If the entity which is the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit
a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive
Bid directly to the Company or to the Company on behalf of any of the Borrowers
at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders
are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

SECTION 2.5. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.6. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Company or the Company on behalf of any Borrower may
request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any
time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Effective Date
and ending on the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that
the amount of each Letter of Credit so requested shall be not less than
$300,000. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Company or the Company on behalf
of any of the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Company or a Borrower with,
the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall control.

      (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.
To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company or the Company on
behalf of any of the Borrowers shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least four
(4) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of
Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the
amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof
and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a pro
forma Borrowing Base Certificate evidencing compliance with this Agreement after
giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the Officer's
Certificate as to pro forma financial covenant compliance required by Section
6.1(k). If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Company or such

                                      -80-
<PAGE>
Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's
standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company or such
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to
such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not
exceed $20,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus
the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed
the lesser of the total Commitments or the Borrowing Base at such time.

      (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is 30
days prior to the Maturity Date.

      (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment
to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further
action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby
grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the
date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit (subject to Section 2.6(c)) is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the aggregate amount to be paid by
any Lender with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit (whether as a
payment pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) or a Loan pursuant to Section 2.3) shall
not exceed its Applicable Percentage of such drawing.

                                      -81-
<PAGE>
      (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that
such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company or the Company on behalf of any of
the Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received
by the Company or the Company on behalf of any of the Borrowers prior to such
time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York Cite time, on (i)
the Business Day that the Company or the Company on behalf of any of the
Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Company or the Company on behalf of any of the
Borrowers receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such
time on the day of receipt; provided that the Company or the Company on behalf
of any of the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed
with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so
financed, the Borrowers' obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to (or
are not permitted to) finance such payment with an ABR Revolving Borrowing and
fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the
Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the
Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans
made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers
pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.

                                      -82-
<PAGE>
      (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers' obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be joint and
several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or
provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or
(iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute
a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrowers' obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability
or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of
any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission
or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing (and
the agreement of the Borrowers in the first sentence of this Section 2.6(f))
shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by
the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and
other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that,
with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

                                      -83-
<PAGE>
      (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Company or the Company on behalf of any of the
Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and
whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

      (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the
date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at
the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the
Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant
to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to
paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for
the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

      (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at
any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the
replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all
unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i)
the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed
to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor
and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain
a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it
prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters
of Credit.

                                      -84-
<PAGE>
      (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Company or the Company on behalf of any
of the Borrowers receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC
Exposure representing at least 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal
to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become
effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default with respect to any of the Borrowers described in clause (h) or
(i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers
under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other
than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and
at the Borrowers' risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction
of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such
time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the
consent of Required Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the
total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers
under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such
amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured
or waived.

SECTION 2.7. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available
to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds,
to an account of the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent in New
York City and designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request or
Competitive Bid Request; provided that ABR

                                      -85-
<PAGE>
Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.6(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Issuing Bank.

      (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers,
the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to
the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan
included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing. If any interest is
paid by the Borrowers as described above for any period with respect to any
amount funded by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph, the
Borrowers shall not be required to pay interest on such amount pursuant to
Section 2.13 in respect of such period.

SECTION 2.8. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to
convert such Revolving Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such
Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Revolving Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably
among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans
comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This
Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or
continued.

      (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrowers shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the

                                      -86-
<PAGE>
time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the
Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic
Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly
by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the Borrowers.

      (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify
the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

            (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies
      and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
      portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting
      Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
      clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
      Borrowing);

            (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
      Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

            (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
      Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing; and

            (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing,
      the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
      election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
      term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing
but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

      (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

      (e) If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long
as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no

                                      -87-
<PAGE>
outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.

SECTION 2.9. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

      (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce,
the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in
an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $5,000,000
and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the total
Commitments.

      (c) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or
reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant
to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of
the Commitments delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.
Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers hereby
unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Revolving Loan not later than the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Loan.

      (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including

                                      -88-
<PAGE>
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.

      (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof
and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

      (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b)
or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note.
In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a
Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to
such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment
pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more Notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject
to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that,
unless otherwise provided in a Competitive Bid, the Borrowers shall not have the
right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender
thereof.

      (b) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in
the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided
that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such
notice of prepayment may be revoked

                                      -89-
<PAGE>
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.9.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would
be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

      (c) If at any time from and after the Closing Date: (i) the Company merges
or consolidates with another Person and the Company is not the surviving entity,
or (ii) any Person and the Company or a Subsidiary merge into the Company or a
Subsidiary in a transaction in which the Company or a Subsidiary is the
surviving corporation and an Event of Default has occurred as a result thereof
(the date either such event shall occur being the "PREPAYMENT DATE"), the
Borrowers shall be required to prepay the Loans in their entirety as if the
Prepayment Date were the Maturity Date and the Commitments thereupon shall be
terminated. The Borrowers shall immediately make such prepayment together with
the interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount
prepaid and shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the
Issuing Bank. In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the
maturity thereof, the Borrowers shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant
to Section 2.16. Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the
Loans of the Lenders. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this clause (c) may not be
reborrowed.

      (d) If at any time from and after the Closing Date for any reason the sum
of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate amount of outstanding
Competitive Loans at any time exceeds the Borrowing Base, then the Borrowers
shall prepay a portion of the Loans in the amount of such excess within three
Business Days after such excess first occurs. If the prepayment of all Loans
does not suffice to eliminate such excess, then the Borrowers shall deposit cash
collateral in the same manner as is contemplated under Section 2.6(j) in the
amount of the remaining excess within such three Business Days. The Borrowers
shall also prepay Loans to the extent required by Section 5.2(b).

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) During the period from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates, the Borrowers
jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender (i) in the event that neither Moody's nor S&P has established a
rating which is in effect for the Company or for Index Debt, an unused
commitment

                                      -90-
<PAGE>
fee equal to the Unused Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Unused
Commitment of such Lender (the "UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE AMOUNT") or (ii) in the
event Moody's or S&P has established a rating which is in effect for the Company
or the Index Debt, a facility fee equal to the Facility Fee Rate on the full
amount of the Commitment of such Lender (the "FACILITY FEE AMOUNT"); provided
that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its
Commitment terminates, then the Facility Fee Amounts pursuant to clause (ii)
above shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender's Revolving
Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates
to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving
Credit Exposure. Accrued Unused Commitment Fee Amounts pursuant to clause (i)
above and Facility Fee amounts pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year commencing on the first such date after the Effective Date, and on the
date on which the Commitments terminate; provided that any fees pursuant to
clause (i) or (ii) accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate
shall be payable on demand. All fees pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

      (b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the
same Applicable Rate as interest on Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average
daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements during the period from and
including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which
such Lender's Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to
have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall
accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date
on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's
standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees
and fronting fees accrued from and including the Effective Date or the last day
of the preceding March, June, September or December, as applicable, to and
excluding the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each
year shall be payable on such last Business Day of such month, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such

                                      -91-
<PAGE>
fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any
such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be
payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees
and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

      (c) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

      (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing
Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of fees
pursuant to paragraph (a) above and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees
paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. SECTION 2.13. Interest.
(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

      (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (i)
in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (ii)
in the case of a Competitive Loan, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin
applicable to such Loan.

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (A) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (B) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii)
for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the principal
balance of all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans and
other Obligations.

      (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on

                                      -92-
<PAGE>
demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than
a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability
Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of
any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

      (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at
times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each
case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

      (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period; or

      (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in
the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make
such Loan) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
(or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) any
request by the Borrowers for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be
ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do
not affect all the Lenders, then

                                      -93-
<PAGE>
requests by the Borrowers for Eurodollar Competitive Borrowings may be made to
Lenders that are not affected thereby.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

            (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit
      or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
      of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
      reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

            (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London
      interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
      Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
      participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

      (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held
by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level
below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies
of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

      (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount
or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing

                                      -94-
<PAGE>
Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

      (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

      (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender
shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any
Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such
compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the
Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b)
the conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked
under Section 2.11 (b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure
to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such
Loan, or (e) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers
pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if
any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that
would have been applicable to such Loan, for the

                                      -95-
<PAGE>
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over
(ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender
setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall
be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the Issuing
Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

      (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

      (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender
and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or the Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                                      -96-
<PAGE>
      (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

      (e) As a condition to becoming a Lender hereunder, any Foreign Lender
(including any assignee), that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any of the Borrowers
is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a)
The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or
of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on
any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at
its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made
directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.3 shall be made directly to
the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

      (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of

                                      -97-
<PAGE>
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

      (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, except pursuant to Section 2.19, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements resulting to such Lender receiving payment of
a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements than the proportion received by any other
Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for
cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions
of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and
agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the
Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

      (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the
Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on

                                      -98-
<PAGE>
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

      (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Sections 2.6(d) or (e), 2.7(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and
(ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

      (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the
Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the
Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
(other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is
being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its

                                      -99-
<PAGE>
Loans (other than Competitive Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts)
and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Increase in Commitment.

      (a) After the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall have the one time right to
request that the Administrative Agent obtain additional Commitments (the
"ADDITIONAL COMMITMENT") so that the Commitments aggregate an amount equal to
Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($225,000,000) (the "INCREASED FACILITY
AMOUNT"), which request shall be made by the Company on behalf of the Borrowers
giving written notice (the "ADDITIONAL COMMITMENT NOTICE") to the Administrative
Agent prior to the date which is 180 days prior to the Maturity Date setting
forth such details with respect thereto as are reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent. Upon such request, the Administrative Agent shall, at the
Borrowers' sole cost and expense of documentation and legal fees in connection
therewith, use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with its customary
syndication procedures, with the assistance of the Borrowers, to arrange a
syndicate of Lenders with Commitments (including the initial Commitments),
aggregating the Increased Facility Amount on or before the date which is 150
days after the Additional Commitment Notice was received by the Administrative
Agent (the "SYNDICATION EXPIRATION DATE"). The Administrative Agent shall first
offer to the existing Lenders the option to participate in the proposed
Additional Commitment to the extent of each Lender's pro-rata share of the
proposed Additional Commitment prior to proposing additional bank syndicate
members. If any existing Lender shall not agree to provide its pro-rata share of
the proposed Additional Commitment within 10 days after receipt from the
Administrative Agent of a request to accept such pro-rata share of the proposed
Additional Commitment, prior to commencing syndication, the Administrative Agent
shall submit a list of proposed bank syndicate members (who indicate a
willingness to accept all or a portion of the amount of the proposed Additional
Commitment) to the Borrowers; provided, that, notwithstanding any existing
Lender's rejection of its pro-rata share of the proposed Additional Commitment,
such existing Lender shall remain a Lender hereunder, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof.

                                     -100-
<PAGE>
From and after the Syndication Expiration Date, the Administrative Agent shall
have no further obligation to syndicate the facility or to obtain or accept any
additional Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period after
the giving of the Additional Commitment Notice and prior to the Syndication
Expiration Date, the Lender which is the Administrative Agent shall have the
right, at its option, to commit to make the Additional Commitment available to
the Borrowers and, if the Lender which is the Administrative Agent shall so
elect to commit to making the Additional Commitment available to the Borrowers,
to arrange a syndicate of Lenders with Commitments aggregating the Increased
Facility Amount. In the event that lenders commit to any such increase, any new
lender shall execute an accession agreement to this Agreement, the Commitments
of the existing Lenders which have committed to provide any of the Additional
Commitment shall be increased, the pro-rata shares of the Lenders shall be
adjusted, the Borrowers shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be
necessary to effect the reallocation of the Commitments, and other changes shall
be made to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to reflect the aggregate
amount, if any, by which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective
Commitments or make new Commitments in response to the Borrowers' request for an
increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 and which
other changes do not adversely affect the rights of those Lenders who do not
elect to increase their respective Commitments, in each case without the consent
of the Lenders other than those Lenders increasing their Commitments. The fees
payable by the Borrowers upon any such increase in the aggregate Commitments
shall be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers at the time
of such increase.

      (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, an increase in the aggregate amount
            of the Commitments shall be effective only if (i) no Default shall
            have occurred and be continuing on the date of the Additional
            Commitment Notice and the date such increase is to become effective;
            (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by each of the
            Borrowers in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
            true and complete on and as of the date of the Additional Commitment
            Notice and the date such increase is to become effective with the
            same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any
            such representation or warrant is expressly stated to have been made
            as of a specific date, as of such specific date); (iii) the
            Administrative Agent shall have received (x) such documents and
            certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may
            reasonably request relating to the authorization of such increase
            and (y) a favorable

                                     -101-
<PAGE>
            written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the
            Lenders) of counsel for the Borrowers substantially in the form of
            EXHIBIT E-1, after giving effect to such increase; and (iv) the
            Company and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with Article VI.

                                  ARTICLE III.

required. Neither the Company nor any of the Borrowers is a "foreign person"
within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code.

has been duly, authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrowers and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrowers, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.

      (b) SCHEDULE 3.2 contains a diagram indicating the ownership structure of
the Company, and any other Person in which the Company holds a direct or
indirect partnership, joint venture or other equity interest, indicating the
nature of such interest with respect to each Person included in such diagram and

jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and, for each Borrower, the
jurisdictions in which it is qualified to transact business as a foreign
corporation, or otherwise, and (2) the authorized, issued and outstanding shares
or interests of each class of securities of the Company. None of such issued and
outstanding securities is subject to any vesting,

corporate interest in each of the Subsidiary Partnerships is set forth on
SCHEDULE 3.2(A).

SECTION 3.3. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. Except as specified on

to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

December 31, 1999, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public
accountants, (ii) its pro forma unaudited balance sheets and statements of
income as of September 30, 2000, certified by its chief financial officer, and
(iii) its pro forma unaudited statements of income for the year ended December
31, 2000, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of
operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and
for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to (y) normal and recurring
year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the
statements referred to in clause (ii) above and (z) any pro forma financial
statements contained in such consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated
results of operations for the periods indicated.

      (b) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Contingent
Obligation or liability for any taxes, long-term leases or commitments, not
reflected in its audited financial statements delivered to

                                     -103-

title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property
material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not

utilize such properties for their intended purposes. A Borrower is the owner of
each of the Unencumbered Eligible Projects described in clause (b)(i) of the
definition thereof.

      (b) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use,
all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
material to its business, and the use thereof by the Company and its

any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.6. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions,
suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority
pending against or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or
affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii)
that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

      (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other
matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected

maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any

Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where
the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
continuing.

SECTION 3.8. Investment and Holding Company Status. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" as defined in, or subject to
regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a "holding company"

in a Material Adverse Effect.

occur that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events for which liability
is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of
the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more
than $250,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present
value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on
the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

party to any of such Company Leases is in default of any payment obligation
thereunder or in default thereunder in any other material respect.

SECTION 3.14. SEC Reports. As of the Closing Date, the Company has filed all

<PAGE>
      expected to result in liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries in an
      aggregate amount exceeding $250,000; and

            (v) any other development that results in, or could reasonably be

transaction would result in a failure to comply with the financial covenants set
forth herein, proceeds of such transaction (together with such additional
amounts as may be required), in an amount, as determined by the Administrative
Agent, equal to that which would be required to reduce the Obligations so that
Company will be in compliance with the covenants set forth herein upon the

each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the
rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of
its business. No Borrower will at any time cause or permit its certificate of
formation, limited liability company agreement, certificate of limited
partnership, partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, by-laws, or other
charter documents, as the case may be, to be modified, amended or supplemented
in any respect whatsoever, without, in each case, the express prior written
consent or approval of the Administrative Agent, if such changes would
materially adversely affect the rights of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; provided that if
such prior consent or approval is not required, such Borrower shall nonetheless
notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly after such event.

SECTION 5.4. Payment of Obligations. The Company will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, pay its obligations, including Tax liabilities, that, if
not paid, could result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become
delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Company or
such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto in accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such
contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain (or cause to be kept
and maintained) all property material to the conduct of its business in good

of Projects to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers,
insurance with respect to its properties and its business against general
liability, property casualty and such casualties and contingencies as shall be
commercially reasonable and in accordance with the customary and general
practices of businesses having similar operations and real estate portfolios in
similar geographic areas and in amounts, containing such terms, in such forms
and for such periods as may be reasonable and prudent for such businesses,
including without limitation, insurance policies and programs sufficient to
cover (i) the replacement value of the improvements at Projects owned by the
Company and its Subsidiaries (less commercially reasonable

                                     -115-
<PAGE>
deductible amounts) and (ii) liability risks associated with such ownership
(less commercially reasonable deductible amounts).

SECTION 5.6. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Company will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in
which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions
in relation to its business and activities. The Company will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and
inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records,
and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and
independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably
requested.

SECTION 5.7. Compliance with Laws. The Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, including all
Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

SECTION 5.8. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. No Letters of Credit and no
part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly,
for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board,
including Regulations U and X. The proceeds of the Loans will be used only for
the purposes of:

            (a) acquisition of Projects or Joint Venture Holdings;

            (b) renovation of Properties owned by the Company or its
      consolidated Subsidiaries;

            (c) funding of TI Work and Tenant Allowances;

            (d) financing expansions, renovations and new construction related
      to Properties owned by the Company or its consolidated Subsidiaries;

            (e) refinancing or repayment of existing or future Indebtedness for
      borrowed money;

            (f) working capital needs of the Company;

            (g) investments in Mortgage Assets; and

and (iii) retain 100% ownership of all other Borrowers hereunder.

SECTION 5.10. Additional Borrowers; Solvency of Borrowers. (a) If, after the
      Closing Date, a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower acquires any Project
      that then or thereafter would qualify under the definition of Unencumbered
      Eligible Project if such Subsidiary were a Borrower, then the Company
      shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Borrower under this Agreement and
      to execute and deliver an instrument of adherence to this Agreement in
      substantially the form of EXHIBIT I hereto.

            (b) The Company and the other Borrowers are Solvent. The Company and
      the other Borrowers each acknowledge that, subject to the indefeasible
      payment and performance in full of the Obligations, the rights of
      contribution among each of them are in accordance with applicable laws and
      in accordance with each such Person's benefits under the Loans and this
      Agreement.

            (c) Other than during the continuance of a Default, at the request
      of the Company following the delivery of the notice and certificate of a
      Financial Officer in accordance with Section 5.2(b), a Borrower shall be
      released by the Administrative Agent from its obligations as a borrower
      hereunder if and when all of the Projects owned or ground-leased by such
      Borrower shall cease (not thereby creating a Default) to be an
      Unencumbered Eligible Project; provided the foregoing shall never permit
      the release of the Company.

SECTION 5.11. Further Assurances. The Company and the other Borrowers will
cooperate with, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to cooperate with, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and

Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.12. Distributions in the Ordinary Course. In the ordinary course of
business the Company causes all of its Subsidiaries to make transfers of net
cash and cash equivalents upstream to the Company, and the Company shall
continue to follow such ordinary course of business. The Company shall not make
net transfers of cash and cash equivalents downstream to its Subsidiaries except
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

SECTION 5.13. ERISA Compliance. The Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of the
Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates to, establish, maintain and operate all Plans
to comply

                                     -117-
<PAGE>
in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA, the Code, all other
applicable laws, and the regulations and interpretations thereunder and the

                                   ARTICLE VI.

      Section 6.1, Lease Value, Non-Recourse Indebtedness, Adjusted NOI and
      Adjusted EBITDA in respect of Leveraged Assets shall be excluded from the
      calculations made pursuant Section 6.1(a) through (g), inclusive and the
      definition of "Borrowing Base"; provided, that the exclusion of such

      Adjusted EBITDA by more than 10% of the amount of Lease Value,
      Non-Recourse Indebtedness, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted EBITDA, as
      applicable, that would have been derived had such Leveraged Assets not
      been so excluded; and provided further, that, subject to the following
      sentence, to the extent that a Leveraged Asset is excluded in accordance
      with the foregoing, such Leveraged Asset shall be excluded for all
      purposes of such calculations. For purposes of (i) the calculation set
      forth in Section 6.1(c), Adjusted NOI attributable to Leveraged Assets,
      reduced by the amount of all interest expense paid, accrued or capitalized
      in respect of such Leveraged Assets, shall be included in the calculation
      of total Adjusted NOI (such amount of Adjusted NOI from Leveraged Assets
      (as so reduced by interest paid, accrued or capitalized in respect of such
      Leveraged Assets) so included not to exceed 5% of total Adjusted NOI); and
      (ii) the calculation set forth in Section 6.1(f), Adjusted EBITDA
      attributable to Leveraged Assets, reduced by the amount of all interest
      expense paid, accrued or capitalized in respect of such Leveraged Assets,

      of Adjusted EBITDA from Leveraged Assets (as so reduced by interest paid,
      accrued or capitalized in respect of such Leveraged Assets) so included
      not to exceed 5% of Total Adjusted EBITDA).

            (j) Negative Pledge. From and after the date hereof, no Borrower
      shall enter into or permit to exist, and the Company will not permit any
      Subsidiary to enter into or permit to exist, and no Subsidiary shall enter
      into or permit to exist, any agreement (i) containing any provision
      prohibiting the creation or assumption of any Lien upon its properties
      (other than mechanics liens or judgment liens not more than 30 days past
      due and other than with respect to prohibitions on liens set forth in a
      mortgage on a particular property), revenues or assets, whether now owned
      or hereafter acquired, or (ii) restricting the ability of the Company or
      any Borrower to amend or modify this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
      or (iii) restricting

                                     -120-
<PAGE>
      the ability of any Subsidiary to make or pay dividends or distributions to
      the Company.

            (k) Pro Forma Calculations. The Company shall comply with the
      financial ratios set forth in this Section 6.1 as of the date of each
      Credit Event. The Company shall recalculate the financial ratios by adding
      the amount equal to the Indebtedness associated with such Credit Event to
      the Indebtedness reflected on the most recently available financial
      statements, and adding thereto any Indebtedness incurred since the date of
      such financial statement and adding thereto the value of such assets
      (determined at cost) acquired with such Indebtedness to Total Value. The
      Company shall deliver an Officer's Certificate, signed by the Financial
      Officer of the Company, certifying that the pro forma calculations as of
      the date of such Credit Event demonstrate the Company's compliance with
      the covenants and financial ratios set forth in this Section 6.1.

SECTION 6.2. Liens. No Borrower shall and the Company will not permit any
Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any property
or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by it, or assign or sell any income or

except:

            (a) Permitted Encumbrances;

      aggregate Indebtedness under such Capital Leases does not exceed $50,000
      for any Project; and

            (c) Liens securing Secured Indebtedness, the incurrence of which is
      not prohibited by Article VI.

SECTION 6.3. Fundamental Changes. (a) No Borrower shall, and the Company will
not permit any Subsidiary to, merge into or consolidate with any other Person,
or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one transaction or in a series of
transactions) all or substantially all of its assets, or all or substantially
all of the stock of any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired), or liquidate or dissolve, except (i) in connection with the
issuance, transfer, conversion or repurchase of limited liability company
interests in the Company, (ii) if at the time thereof and immediately after
giving effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any
Person may merge into the Company or a Subsidiary in a transaction in which the
Company or a Subsidiary is the surviving corporation, (iii) any Subsidiary may
merge with any other Subsidiary; provided, that if any Subsidiary shall be
merged with a Subsidiary Partnership, the surviving Subsidiary shall

                                     -121-

be the Subsidiary Partnership or shall become a Borrower under this Agreement,

Company, or with any Affiliate of the Company which is not its Subsidiary, on
terms that are determined by the board of directors of the Company to be less
favorable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, than those
that might be obtained in an arm's length transaction at the time from Persons
who are not such a holder or Affiliate. Nothing contained in this Section 6.8

                                     -124-

      effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian,
      sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Company or any

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                                   THE AGENTS

SECTION 8.1. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication
Agent as its agents, in each agent's capacity as such agent, and authorizes the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent to take
such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

      The bank serving as the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and
the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and
the Syndication Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent
hereunder.

      The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent,
as the case may be, shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the
case may be, shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except

                                     -128-
<PAGE>
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the
case may be, is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth
herein, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as
the case may be, or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative
Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be,
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the
case may be, shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrowers or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or
the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, shall not be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents
of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent,
the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be.

      The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent,
the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, also may
rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to
be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, may

                                     -129-
<PAGE>
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it to accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

      The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the
case may be. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and
all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, and
any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as
the case may be.

      Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, as provided
in this paragraph, (a) the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the
Syndication Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Company and (b) the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative
Agent in the event of the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with the Company (so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, gives notice of
its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or
Syndication Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or
Syndication Agent, as the case may be, which shall be a bank with an office in
New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank; provided that such
successor Administrative Agent shall have total assets of not less than
$10,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring
Administrative

                                     -130-
<PAGE>
Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Company to a successor Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication
Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.3 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be.

      Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent,
as the case may be, or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking
action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.2. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the
Company or any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of
a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of
any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

      (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of

                                     -132-
<PAGE>
payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv)
change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing
of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (v)
change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required
Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, or the Issuing Bank hereunder
without, in addition, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be; provided, further, (x) that SCHEDULE 3.13 may be amended by the Company
without the consent of the Required Lenders, solely to update such schedule to
include or exclude Leases listed therein which constitute or cease to constitute
Triple Net Leases, and (y) SCHEDULES 3.2 and 4.1(F) may be amended by the
Company without the consent of the Required Lenders solely to update the
information contained therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Designating Lender
on behalf of its Designated Bank affected thereby, (a) subject such Designated
Bank to any additional obligations, (b) reduce the principal of, interest on, or
other amounts due with respect to, the Designated Bank Note made payable to such
Designated Bank, or (c) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of,
or interest on, or other amounts due with respect to, the Designated Bank Note
made payable to the Designated Bank.

SECTION 9.3. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i)
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and
its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing
Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights

                                     -133-
<PAGE>
in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or
in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

      (b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by
the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence
or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related
in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

      (c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender's
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

      (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not
assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as

                                     -134-
<PAGE>
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

      (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.4. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of
the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrowers
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

      (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in
the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of the
Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and
the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion
of a Commitment or any Lender's obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, the
Issuing Bank) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the amount of the
Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Company (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this
clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive
Loans, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an

                                     -135-
<PAGE>
Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such
assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section. If the consent of the Company or any of the other
Borrowers is required pursuant to this Section 9.4, and the Company or such
Borrower, as the case may be, does not respond to the Administrative Agent's
request for consent within five Business Days of such request, the consent shall
be deemed given.

      (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Company, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

      (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such

                                     -136-
<PAGE>
Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the
Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

      (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a "PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 9.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this
Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a
Lender.

      (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company's
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Company
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though
it were a Lender.

      (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment

                                     -137-
<PAGE>
of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

      (h) Any Lender (each, a "DESIGNATING LENDER") may at any time designate
one Designated Bank to fund Competitive Loans on behalf of such Designating
Lender subject to the terms of this Section 9.4(h) and the provisions in 9.4(b)
and (e) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than
one (1) Designated Bank. The parties to each such designation shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement.
Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed
by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated
Bank, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and will
give prompt notice thereof to the Company, whereupon, (i) the Borrowers shall
execute and deliver to the Designating Bank a Designated Bank Note payable to
the order of the Designated Bank, (ii) from and after the effective date
specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Bank shall become a party
to this Agreement with a right to make Competitive Loans on behalf of its
Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.4 after the Borrowers have accepted a
Competitive Loan (or portion thereof) of such Designating Lender, and (iii) the
Designated Bank shall not be required to make payments with respect to any
obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such
Designated Bank which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such
Designated Bank which are then due and payable; provided, however, that
regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Bank, the
Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the
other Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender
and its related Designated Bank with respect to this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any indemnification obligations hereunder and any sums
otherwise payable to the Borrowers by the Designated Bank. Each Designating
Lender shall serve as the administrative agent of the Designated Bank and shall
on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Bank: (i) receive any and
all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Bank and (ii) give and
receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder,
including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and
amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any
such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall
be signed by the Designating Lender as administrative agent for the Designated
Bank and shall not be signed by the Designated Bank on its own behalf but shall
be binding on the Designated Bank to the same extent as if actually signed by
the Designated Bank. The Borrowers, the Administrative

                                     -138-
<PAGE>
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent and Lenders may rely
thereon without any requirement that the Designated Bank sign or acknowledge the
same. No Designated Bank may assign or transfer all or any portion of its
interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to
the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Bank.

SECTION 9.5. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered
to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any
such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.3 and Article VIII shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration
or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination
of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.6. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto,
and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns in accordance with Section
9.4. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.

SECTION 9.7. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective

                                     -139-
<PAGE>
to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.8. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any or all of the
Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of
the State of New York.

      (b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States
District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New
York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
against the Borrowers or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

      (c) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby

                                     -140-
<PAGE>
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

      (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective

                                     -141-
<PAGE>
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivatives transaction relating
to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h)
to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section,
"INFORMATION" means all information received from the Company relating to the
Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Company. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with
all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan
under applicable law (collectively the "CHARGES"), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the "MAXIMUM RATE") which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14. Amendment and Restatement. (a) The Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that upon the effectiveness of this
Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be
and hereby are amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in the next paragraph, shall be
superseded by this Agreement.

      Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement by this Agreement, the Company and all other obligors shall continue
to be liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with

                                     -142-
<PAGE>
respect to agreements on the part of the Company and all other obligors,
respectively, under the Existing Credit Agreement to pay all principal,
interest, fees and other amounts that have accrued on or before the date hereof
and to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from
and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges
and expenses to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may be subject
arising in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and as to which the
Company or such obligors, as the case may be, have agreed under the Existing
Credit Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders. This Agreement is given as a substitution of, and not as a payment of,
the obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement and is not
intended to constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement. Indebtedness
(other than with respect to Competitive Loans) evidenced by the notes issued
under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be allocated proportionally among the
Lenders based on their respective Commitments in order that after giving effect
thereto Lenders shall have outstanding loans representing their portion of the
aggregate Commitment, as described on SCHEDULE 2.1 and the Lenders shall make
appropriate payments to each other in order to accomplish such reallocation. On
the Closing Date all outstanding principal of all Eurodollar Loans then
outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been
prepaid and, except as otherwise selected by the Borrowers by delivery of a
Borrowing Notice on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms
hereof, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement all amounts outstanding and
owing by the Company under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date
shall, solely for purposes of Section 2.16, constitute ABR Borrowings. Upon its
receipt of a Note hereunder, each Lender will promptly return to the Borrowers,
marked "Cancelled" or "Replaced", any notes of the Borrowers held by such Lender
pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement.

      By execution or acknowledgment of this Agreement all parties hereto agree
that each of the other Loan Documents is hereby amended such that all references
to the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loans thereunder shall be deemed to
refer to this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the continuation of the
Loans hereunder.

Section 9.15. No Bankruptcy Proceedings. Each of the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent and the
Lenders hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Bank or
join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Bank any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (i) one

                                     -143-

year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial
paper note issued by such Designated Bank and (ii) the Maturity Date.

                                   ARTICLE X.

                               MULTIPLE BORROWERS

      Each Borrower agrees that the representations and warranties made by, and
the liabilities, obligations and covenants of and applicable to, any and all of
the Borrowers under this Agreement, shall be in every case (whether or not
specifically so stated in each such case herein) joint and several in all
circumstances. Each Borrower accepts, as co-debtor and not merely as surety,
such joint and several liability with the other Borrowers and hereby waives any
and all suretyship defenses that it might otherwise have hereunder. If and to
the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect
to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations
in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other
Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
Every notice by or to the Company shall be deemed also to constitute
simultaneous notice by and to each other Borrower, every act or omission by any
Borrower also shall be deemed an act or omission of each other Borrower and
shall be binding upon each other Borrower, and the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
rely, and all of the Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank may so rely, on any notice given or action taken or not
taken by the Company as being authorized by all of the Borrowers. The Issuing
Bank and the Lenders are fully authorized by each Borrower to act and rely also
upon the representations and warranties, covenants, notices, acts and omissions
of each other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Borrower agrees that the obligations of such Borrower hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents shall be enforceable against such Borrower notwithstanding
that this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be unenforceable in any
respect against any other Borrower or that any other Borrower may have commenced
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or similar proceedings.

                                   ARTICLE XI.

                                 REIT CONVERSION

      The Company has advised the Lenders that the Company is contemplating a
transaction whereby the Company may become controlled by an entity which will
elect to become taxable as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The Lenders
acknowledge that the Company may elect to pursue

                                     -144-
<PAGE>
such a transaction and that such transaction may require amendments to the
provisions contained herein relating to mergers or other business combinations
and relating to the payment of dividends by the Company or the Subsidiaries. To
the extent that any such contemplated transaction requires such amendments, the
Lenders shall not unreasonably withhold or condition their consent to such
amendments and shall not impose any fee for reviewing and approving any proposed
REIT conversion requiring only such amendments, although the Company
acknowledges that it will pay the Lenders' costs and expenses, including
attorneys fees and costs, in reviewing any such proposed transaction.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, it is understood by the parties
hereto that the Company has not made any request related to any particular
transaction, or otherwise related to the foregoing, to the Lenders or submitted
any plan or proposal with respect thereto to the Lenders. This Article shall not
constitute the consent of the Lenders to such a contemplated transaction, nor
the approval of such a transaction or the Lenders' agreement to modify, amend or
waive any provision hereof or any other Loan Document.
