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

                                    ARTICLE 2

                                   The Credits

               Section 2.01. Commitments to Lend. Each Bank severally agrees, on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the
Company or any Eligible Subsidiary pursuant to this Section from time to time
prior to the Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each such loan
is made: (i) the sum of the aggregate Dollar Amount of Committed Loans by such
Bank plus the Dollar Amount of its Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed
the amount of its Commitment and (ii) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not
exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Each Borrowing of
Dollar-Denominated Loans under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that
any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount available in accordance with
Section 3.02(c)). Each Borrowing in an Alternative Currency shall be in an
aggregate Dollar Amount of at least $5,000,000. Each Borrowing under this
Section, in any currency, shall be made from the several Banks ratably in
proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the
Borrowers may borrow under this Section, repay, or to the extent permitted by
Section 2.12, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time prior to the Termination
Date under this Section.

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

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

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

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

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

               Section 2.03. Competitive Bid Borrowings.

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

               (b) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Company wishes to
request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section, it shall
transmit to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a
Competitive Bid Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto so
as to be received no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the fifth
Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the
case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Domestic Business Day immediately before the
date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or,
in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative
Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later
than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction
or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying:

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

               (ii)  the proposed currency and the aggregate amount (in such
currency) of such Borrowing, which shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of
$1,000,000 for each Borrowing of Dollar-Denominated Loans and at least
$5,000,000 in Dollar Amount for each Borrowing in an Alternative Currency;

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

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

                                       15

<PAGE>

               The Company may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for
more than one Interest Period in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request. No
Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given within five Euro-Dollar Business
Days (or such other number of days as the Company and the Administrative Agent
may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote Request.

               (c) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly upon receipt
of a Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the
Banks by telex or facsimile transmission an Invitation for Competitive Bid
Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which shall constitute an
invitation by the Company to each Bank to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering
to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request
relates in accordance with this Section.

               (d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes. (i) Each
Bank may submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make
Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.
Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection
(d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile
transmission at its office in New York City referred to in Section 11.01 not

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

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

               (A) the proposed date of Borrowing,

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

                                       16

<PAGE>

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

               (D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest
per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the "Competitive Bid
Absolute Rate") offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, and

               (E) the identity of the quoting Bank.

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

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

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

               (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language;

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

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

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

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

                                       17

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent of the acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so
notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such
notice (a "Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing") shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The
Company may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

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

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

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

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

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

               Section 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.

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

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

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

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

                                       18

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

                                       19

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       20

<PAGE>

Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section
8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate
for such day).

               (d) Subject to Section 8.01(a), each Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the
Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance
with Section 2.07(b) as if the related Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing were a
Euro-Currency Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by
the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid
Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal
to the Competitive Bid Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in
accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest
Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three
months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest,
payable on demand, for each day until paid (i) in the case of Dollar-Denominated
Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such
day and (ii) in the case of Euro-Currency Denominated Loans, at a rate per annum
determined in accordance with subsection 2.07(c) as if such Loan were
Euro-Currency Loans.

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

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

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

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

                                       21

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       22

<PAGE>

               (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Company pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Company.

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

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

               (c) If on or before the first day of any Interest Period
applicable to any Group of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, there
shall occur any change in national or international financial, political or
economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would
in the opinion of the Administrative Agent make it impracticable for such Group
of Loans to continue to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the
Banks, in which event the relevant Borrower shall repay such Group of Loans in
full on the later of (i) the last day of the immediately preceding Interest
Period or (ii) the third Euro-Currency Business Day after the Company receives
such notice from the Administrative Agent. Such Group of Loans shall bear
interest on and after the last day of such immediately preceding Interest Period
at a rate per annum determined for each day as provided in Section 2.07(c)
(except that if the repayment due date is determined pursuant to the foregoing
clause (ii), the 2% per annum additional interest applicable to overdue amounts
shall not apply prior to such due date).

               Section 2.11. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The
Company may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, (i)

                                       23

<PAGE>

terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans or Letter of Credit
Liabilities are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time to
time by an aggregate Dollar Amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple
thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the Total
Outstanding Amount.

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

               Section 2.12. Optional Prepayments. Any Borrower may:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

               (b) Each payment of principal of, and interest on, the
Alternative Currency-Denominated Loans shall be made in the relevant Alternative
Currency in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of
international transactions in such Alternative Currency,

                                       24

<PAGE>

for the account of the Administrative Agent at such time and at such place as
shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent to the Company and the
Banks by not less than four Euro-Currency Business Days' notice.

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

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

               (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due from any Borrower
to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent
that such Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such
Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate (if such amount was
distributed in Dollars) or (ii) the rate per annum at which one day deposits in
the relevant currency are offered to the Administrative Agent in the London
interbank market for such day (if such amount was distributed in an Alternative
Currency).

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

                                       25

<PAGE>

Bank shall have delivered to such Borrower a certificate as to the amount of
such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

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

               Section 2.16. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower
hereunder or under any Note in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the
"specified currency") into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the
fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other
currency at the Administrative Agent's New York office on the Euro-Currency
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of
each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent
hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the
Euro-Currency Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other
currency, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with
such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is
less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, in the specified currency, the relevant Borrower agrees, to the
fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified
currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any
amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a
disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 11.04, such Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the
relevant Borrower.

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

                                       26

<PAGE>

before each date on which interest is payable on its Euro-Currency Loans, of the
amount then due to such Bank under this Section.

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

               (c) If and so long as any Bank is required to comply with reserve
assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other
authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank
or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements referred to
in subsections (a) and (b) above) in respect of any of such Bank's Euro-Currency
Loans, such Bank may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously
with each payment of interest on each of such Bank's Euro-Currency Loans subject
to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum
specified by such Bank to be the cost to such Bank of complying with such
requirements in relation to such Loan.

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

               Section 2.18. Letters of Credit.

               (a) Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency from time to time before the
Letter of Credit Termination Date upon the request of any Borrower; provided
that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued the Total Outstanding
Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments and the
aggregate Dollar Amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed
$30,000,000. Upon the date of issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit,
the Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to
have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by
any party hereto, to have purchased from the Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the
proportion its respective Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments.

               (b) Method for Issuance; Terms; Extensions.

               (i) The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank notice at least (x)
three Domestic Business Days in case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars
and (y) three Euro-Currency Business Days in case of Letters of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency (or such shorter notice as may be
acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its discretion) prior to the requested

                                       27

<PAGE>

issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of renewal or extension, prior
to the Issuing Bank's deadline for notice of nonextension) specifying the date
such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and describing the terms of such Letter
of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby (such
notice, including any such notice given in connection with the extension of a
Letter of Credit, a "Notice of Issuance"). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance,
the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and
of the amount of such Bank's participation in such Letter of Credit.

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

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

               (c) Payments; Reimbursement Obligations.

               (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of
any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall
notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and each other Bank as to the amount and the currency to be
paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the date such payment is to be
made by the Issuing Bank (the "Payment Date"). The Borrower shall be irrevocably
and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any amounts paid
by the Issuing Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit (a
"Reimbursement Obligation"), without presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind. Such reimbursement shall be due (x) in the case of a
Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, on the Payment Date, and (y) in the
case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, on the third
Euro-Currency Business Day following the Payment Date; provided that no such
payment shall be due from the Borrower any earlier than the date of receipt by
it of notice of its obligation to make such payment (or, if such notice is
received by the Borrower after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any date, on
(x) the next succeeding Domestic Business Day in the case of Letters of

                                       28

<PAGE>

Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) the third succeeding Euro-Currency
Business Day in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative
Currency) (the date so determined with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation,
the "Reimbursement Date"); and provided further that if and to the extent any
such reimbursement is not made by the Borrower in accordance with this clause
(i) or clause (ii) below on the Payment Date, then (irrespective of when notice
thereof is received by the Borrower), such reimbursement obligation shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the Payment Date to
but not including the date such reimbursement obligation is paid in full at a
rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans in case of
Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) the sum of the Euro-Currency
Margin plus the Overnight LIBO Rate in case of Letter of Credit denominated in
an Alternative Currency plus, in the case of amounts in any currency not paid
when due, 2.00%. All payments in respect of the principal amount of the
Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower with respect of any Letter of Credit
and interest thereon shall be made in the same currency as the related Letter of
Credit was denominated, and shall be made in the funds specified in Section 2.13
for payments in such currency.

               (ii) If the Commitments remain in effect on the Reimbursement
Date, the principal amount of the Reimbursement Obligation shall, if and to the
extent that such amount would be permitted as a Borrowing of Committed Loans
pursuant to Section 3.02, and unless the Borrower otherwise instructs the
Administrative Agent by not less than (x) one Domestic Business Day's prior
notice in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and, (y) three
Euro-Currency Business Days' prior notice in the case of Letters of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, convert automatically on the
Reimbursement Date to (x) Base Rate Loans in the case of Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars and (y) Alternative Currency Loans in the case of Letters
of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency. The initial Interest Period
applicable to any such Alternative Currency Loan converted pursuant to this
clause (ii) shall, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period, commence on the Reimbursement Date and end one month thereafter. The
Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
directs the Administrative Agent so to act on its behalf), give notice no later
than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Payment Date requesting each Bank to
make, and each Bank hereby agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan, or an Alternative
Currency Loan, as the case may be, on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal
to such Bank's Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to which
such notice relates. Each Bank shall make such Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04 on the date specified in
such notice. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Loans to
the Issuing Bank, which shall immediately apply such proceeds to repay the
Reimbursement Obligation.

               (iii) To the extent the Reimbursement Obligation is not refunded
by a Bank pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Bank will pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, immediately upon the
Issuing Bank's demand at any time during the period commencing after such
Reimbursement Obligation arises until reimbursement therefor in full by the
Borrower, an amount equal to such Bank's Percentage of such Reimbursement
Obligation, together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of
the Issuing Bank's demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such date, from the next succeeding (x)
Domestic Business Day in case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and
(y) Euro-Currency Business Day in case of Letters of Credit

                                       29

<PAGE>

denominated in an Alternative Currency) to the date of payment by such Bank of
such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to (x) the Federal Funds Rate
for the first three Domestic Business Days after the date of such demand and
thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for each additional day in
case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) the Overnight LIBO Rate
for the first three Euro-Currency Business Days after the date of such demand
and thereafter the sum of the Overnight LIBO Rate plus the Euro-Currency Margin,
in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency. The
Issuing Bank will pay to each Bank ratably all amounts received from the
Borrower for application in payment of its Reimbursement Obligations in respect
of any Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such Bank has made payment to
the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto; provided
that in the event such payment received by the Issuing Bank is required to be
returned, such Bank will return to the Issuing Bank any portion thereof
previously distributed to it by the Issuing Bank.

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

               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

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

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

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

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

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

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

               (viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by
any Bank (including the Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or any other
Person or any other event or

                                       30

<PAGE>

circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection
(viii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the
Borrower's or the Bank's obligations hereunder;

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

               (e) Indemnification; Expenses.

               (i) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and hold harmless each Bank
(including each Issuing Bank) and the Administrative Agent from and against any
and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including,
without limitation, the reasonable allocated costs of in-house counsel), which
may be incurred by it in connection with a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to
this Section 2.18; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify
any Bank, or the Administrative Agent, for such Person's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

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

Agreement that notice of optional termination of the commitments thereunder be
given three Domestic Business Days in advance, and further agree that the
commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate in their
entirety simultaneously with and subject to the effectiveness of this Agreement

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

               Section 3.03. First Borrowing by Each Eligible Subsidiary. The

                         Representations And Warranties

               The Company represents and warrants that:

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

               Section 4.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No
Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and its Notes are within the Company's corporate powers, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in
respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official under any
provision of law or regulation applicable to the Company, and do not

                                       33

<PAGE>

contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of law or regulation
applicable to the Company or of the restated certificate of incorporation or
by-laws of the Company or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree
or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries.

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

               Section 4.04. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated balance
sheet of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of June 28, 2002 on a
pro forma basis after giving effect to the AMO Spin-off and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the six months then
ended, a copy of which has been delivered to each of the Banks, fairly present,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except for the
absence of notes), the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of
operations and cash flows for such six-month period (subject to normal year-end
adjustments).

               (b) Except for the AMO Spin-off, there has been no material
adverse change since December 31, 2001 in the business, financial position,
assets, liabilities or results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

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

               Section 4.06. Compliance with Erisa. Each member of the ERISA
Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in
all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group
has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the
Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any
contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any amendment
to any Plan, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or
the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code
or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability
to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

               Section 4.07. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of
its business, the Company conducts an ongoing review of the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated
liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating
expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or
previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or
maintain compliance with

                                       34

<PAGE>

environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any
license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities,
including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the
level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any costs or
liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous
Substances, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including
employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the
Company has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs,
including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have
a Materially Adverse Effect.

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

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

               Section 4.10. Full Disclosure. All Information (as defined below)
heretofore furnished by the Company is, and all Information hereafter furnished
by the Company will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date
as of which such Information is dated or certified (except for any projections
included therein, which projections shall have provided reasonable estimations
of future performance for the periods covered thereby subject to the uncertainty
and approximation inherent in any projections) and not incomplete by omitting to
state anything necessary to make such Information not misleading at such time
except to the extent later Information could reasonably have been expected to
supersede earlier Information. As used in this Section, the term "Information"
means (i) the information set forth in the Company's report on Form 10-K for its
fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and in all subsequent reports on Forms 10-K,
10-Q and 8-K (or their equivalents) and registration statements (excluding
exhibits thereto and any registration statements on Form S-8 or its equivalent)
which the Company shall have filed with the SEC and (ii) all other information
furnished by the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of
or in connection with this Agreement, but only if such other information is (x)
financial information, (y) furnished in writing to all the Banks or to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to all the Banks or (z) furnished at a
meeting to which all the Banks were invited.

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

               Section 4.12. Good Title to Properties. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to their respective properties and
assets (except properties and assets

                                       35

<PAGE>

that, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole), subject to no Liens of any kind, except such as would be
permitted under Section 5.10.

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

                                    ARTICLE 5

                                    Covenants

year-end adjustments) as to fairness of presentation, generally accepted
accounting principles and consistency by the chief financial officer or the
chief accounting officer of the Company;

payable by it hereunder) from terminating its corporate existence or prevent the
Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing any business or any right,
privilege or franchise, if all such terminations and discontinuances, in the

<PAGE>

<PAGE>

comprising the Incumbent Directors (other than an election or nomination of an
individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or
threatened election contest relating to the election or removal of directors of
the Company) shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be considered as though
such person were an Incumbent Director;

then, and in every such event, the Administrative Agent shall (i) if requested
by Banks having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by notice
to the Company terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, and
(ii) if requested by Banks holding more than 50% in aggregate Dollar Amount of
the Loans, by notice to the Company declare the Loans (together with accrued

<PAGE>

engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate
of the Company as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

               Section 7.03. Action by the Administrative Agent. The obligations
of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as
expressly provided in Article 6.

               Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

               Section 7.05. Liability of the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent, its affiliates and its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks

into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection
with this Agreement or any borrowing or issuance of Letter of Credit hereunder;
(ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any
Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3, except
receipt of items required to be delivered to it; or (iv) the validity,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent
shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent,
certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or
similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper
party or parties.

               Section 7.06. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in

not taking any action under this Agreement.

               Section 7.08. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the
Company. Upon any such

                                       44

<PAGE>

resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank
organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any State
thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                             Change in Circumstances

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

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

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

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

                                       45

<PAGE>

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

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

               Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or
after (x) Effective Date, in the case of any Committed Loan or Letter of Credit
or any obligation to make Committed Loans or issue or participate in any Letter
of Credit or (y) the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of
any Competitive Bid Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement
imposed by

                                       46

<PAGE>

the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect
to any Euro-Currency Loan any such requirement included in an applicable
Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose
on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market
for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting its Fixed Rate Loans or Letters of Credit Liabilities, any of its
Notes or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans or its obligations hereunder in
respect of Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or
maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or of issuing or participating in any Letter of
Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank
(or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any of its
Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material,
then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay, or cause the relevant Borrower to
pay, to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
for such increased cost or reduction.

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

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

               (d) If at any time any Subsidiary that is incorporated in, or
conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States becomes an
Eligible Subsidiary, all applicable laws, rules and regulations then in effect
in such jurisdiction shall be deemed for purposes of Section 8.03(a) to have
been adopted at such time and all applicable requests and directives theretofore
made by

                                       47

<PAGE>

any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency in such
jurisdiction shall be deemed for purposes of Section 8.03(a) to have been made
at such time; provided that no Bank shall be obligated under Section 8.03(c) to
give notice of any such law, rule, regulation, request or directive, or to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office by reason thereof, until an
officer of such Bank responsible for administering this Agreement shall have
become aware of such law, rule, regulation, request or directive and the
relevant consequences thereof.

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

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

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

                                       48

<PAGE>

attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank or
Agent, as the case may be) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each
case to the extent that such Domestic Taxes result from any payment or
indemnification pursuant to this Section for (i) Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction other than the United States or (ii) Domestic Taxes of such
Bank or Agent, as the case may be. This indemnification shall be made within 15
days from the date such Bank or Agent (as the case may be) makes demand
therefor.

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

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

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

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

                                       49

<PAGE>

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

               (i) Nothing contained in Section 8.04 shall (i) entitle any
Borrower or the Guarantor to any information determined by any Bank, in its sole
discretion, to be confidential or proprietary information of such Bank, to any
tax or financial information of any Bank or to inspect or review any books and
records of any Bank, (ii) require any Bank to disclose or detail the basis of
any calculation of the amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the
basis of any determination made under Section 8.04(h) to any Borrower or any
other party, (iii) be construed to require any Bank to institute any
administrative proceeding (other than the filing of a claim for any refund or
credit) or judicial proceeding to obtain any such refund or credit, or (iv)
interfere with the rights of any Bank to conduct its fiscal or tax affairs
(including, without limitation, its determination as to whether to claim a
deduction or credit in respect of foreign taxes) in such manner as it deems fit.

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

                                       50

<PAGE>

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

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

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

               Section 8.06. Substitution of Bank. If (i) the obligation of any
Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or
(ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Company
shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek a
mutually satisfactory substitute bank or banks ("Substitute Banks") (which may
be one or more of the Banks) to purchase the Committed Loans and assume the
Commitment of such Bank (the "Exiting Bank"). The Exiting Bank shall, upon
reasonable notice and payment to it of the purchase price agreed between it and
the Substitute Bank or Banks (or, failing such agreement, a purchase price equal
to the outstanding principal amount of its Committed Loans and interest accrued
thereon to but excluding the date of payment), assign all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including its Commitment but
excluding its Competitive Bid Loans, if any, unless it otherwise agrees) to the
Substitute Bank or Banks, and the Substitute Bank or Banks shall assume such
rights and obligations, in accordance with Section 11.06(c). In connection with
any such sale, the Company shall compensate the Exiting Bank for any funding
losses as provided in Section 2.14 and pay to the Exiting Bank its facility fees
accrued to but excluding the date of such sale.

                                    ARTICLE 9

             Representations and Warranties of eligible subsidiaries

               Each Eligible Subsidiary shall be deemed, by executing and
delivering its Election to Participate, to have represented and warranted as of

               Section 9.01. Corporate Existence and Power. It is a corporation
duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation and is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company.

               Section 9.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No
Contravention. The execution and delivery by it of its Election to Participate
and its Notes, and the performance by it of this Agreement and its Notes, are
within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any
governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute a
default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its charter
or by-laws or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other
instrument binding upon the Company or such

                                       51

<PAGE>

Eligible Subsidiary or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

               Section 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid
and binding agreement of such Eligible Subsidiary and its Notes, when executed
and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and
binding obligations of such Eligible Subsidiary.

               Section 9.04. Taxes. Except as disclosed in such Election to
Participate, there is no income, stamp or other tax of any country, or any
taxing authority thereof or therein, imposed by or in the nature of withholding
or otherwise, which is imposed on any payment to be made by such Eligible
Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or on its Notes, or is imposed on or by
virtue of the execution, delivery or enforcement of its Election to Participate
or its Notes.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                    Guaranty

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       52

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

               (b) The Company agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Bank,
their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and
employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation, the reasonable
allocated costs of in-house counsel), which may be incurred by such Indemnitee
in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
(whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or
threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or
proposed use of proceeds of Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder; provided that
no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such
Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction.

               Section 11.04. Sharing of Set-offs. (a) If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and Banks holding more than 50% in aggregate
Dollar Amount of the Loans have requested the Administrative Agent to declare
the Loans to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, or the
Loans have become immediately due and payable without notice as provided in
Section 6.01, then each Bank and any of its affiliates are hereby authorized by
each Borrower at any time and from time to time, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, without notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly
waived by the Borrowers), to

                                       55

<PAGE>

set off and apply all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank
or any of its affiliates to or for the account of such Borrower against any
obligations of such Borrower to such Bank now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement, regardless of whether any such deposit or other obligation is then
due and payable or is in the same currency or is booked or otherwise payable at
the same office as the obligation against which it is set off and regardless of
whether such Bank shall have made any demand for payment under this Agreement.
Each Bank agrees promptly to notify such Borrower after any such set-off and
application made by such Bank or its affiliates; provided that any failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
The rights of the Banks under this subsection are in addition to any other
rights and remedies which the Banks may have.

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

               Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this
Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment
or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Banks
(and, if the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank or any Agent are affected
thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver
shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment
of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all the Banks)
or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of
or rate of interest on any Loan or the amount to be reimbursed in respect of any
Letter of Credit or any interest thereon, or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone
the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or for
reimbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit or any fees hereunder or for
the termination of any Commitment, or (except as expressly provided in Section
2.18) the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, (iv) release the Guarantor from
any of its obligations under Article 10, (v) waive any of the conditions to
effectiveness set forth in Section 3.01 or (vi) change the percentage of the
Commitments or of the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Loans or Letter of Credit
Liabilities, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or
any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this

                                       56

<PAGE>

Agreement; and provided further that no such amendment, waiver or modification
shall, unless signed by an Eligible Subsidiary, (w) subject such Eligible
Subsidiary to any additional obligation, (x) increase the principal of or rate
of interest on any outstanding Loan or Letter of Credit Liability of such
Eligible Subsidiary, (y) accelerate the stated maturity of any outstanding Loan
of such Eligible Subsidiary or (z) change this proviso.

               Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of all the Banks.

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

               (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other
institution (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part of all, of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Notes (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that
(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Bank's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case
of an assignment to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, hereinafter
defined, with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative
Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this
clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Bid
Loans and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto
(an

                                       57

<PAGE>

"Assignment and Assumption Agreement"), together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500, and the such Assignee, if it shall not be a Borrower,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. From
and after the effective date specified in each Assumption Agreement, such
Assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a
Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Bank's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.03, 8.04 and
11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

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

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

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

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

               Section 11.09. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be
signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with
the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument. This Agreement constitutes the

                                       58

<PAGE>

entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any
and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

               "Utilization" means at any date the percentage equivalent of a
fraction (i) the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans at such date, after giving effect to any borrowing or
payment on such date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate amount
of the Commitments at such date, after giving effect to any reduction of the
Commitments on such date. For purposes of this Schedule, if for any reason any
Loans remain outstanding after termination of the Commitments, the Utilization
for each date on or after the date of such termination shall be deemed to be
100%.

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

or enforcement hereof, appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing
information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding shall be endorsed by

                   Opinion of General Counsel for the Company
                                October __, 2002

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

Gentlemen:

         This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of
the Credit Agreement dated as of October __, 2002 among Allergan, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the Eligible Subsidiaries and you (the
"Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
corresponding meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

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

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

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

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

         2. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of its business or the
location

<PAGE>

of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure
to be so qualified would not have a Materially Adverse Effect.

         3. To the best of my knowledge, the Company and each Subsidiary have
all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to
carry on their respective businesses as presently conducted, except where the
failure to have any of the foregoing would not in the aggregate have a
Materially Adverse Effect.

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

         5. There are no pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened
actions or proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any
Governmental Authority which purport to affect the legality, validity, binding
effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Notes, or which are
likely to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

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

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

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

         9. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit
Agreement and its Notes do not and will not (A) violate the restated certificate
of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, (B)
to the best of my knowledge, violate any material law or regulation applicable
to the Company or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
known to me to be binding on the Company, (C) to the best of my knowledge,
conflict

                                       2

<PAGE>

with, result in a material breach of or constitute a material default
under any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other
instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of
their respective properties are bound or result in or require the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of their respective assets, or (D) require any
authorization, consent, waiver or approval of any Governmental Authority.

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

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

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

         B.  My opinions set forth in paragraph 8 and (with respect to
performance by the Company) clauses (B) and (D) of paragraph 9 are subject to
(i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws
regarding fraudulent transfers or

                                       3

<PAGE>

preferential transfers) and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of
whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       4

         This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Credit Agreement
and may not be relied upon by any person other than you (or permitted assignees

and other regulatory authorities should they so request or in connection with
their normal examinations, (ii) to your independent auditors and attorneys,
(iii) pursuant to order or legal process of any court or governmental agency, or
(iv) in connection with any legal action to which you are a party arising out of

Dear Sirs:

         We have participated in the preparation of the Credit Agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") dated as of October __, 2002 among Allergan, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the Eligible Subsidiaries referred to
therein, the banks party thereto (the "Banks"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, as
Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and have acted as special
counsel to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of rendering this opinion
pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Credit Agreement. Terms defined in the Credit
Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

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

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

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

         2. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
the Company and each Note of the Company constitutes a valid and binding

                                       1

<PAGE>

obligation of the Company, in each case enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of
equity.

         We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing
opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the
United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In
giving the foregoing opinion, we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of
any law of any jurisdiction (except the State of New York) in which any Bank is
located which limits the rate of interest that such Bank may charge or collect.

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

                                            Very truly yours,

Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the

corresponding portion of its share of each component of the Aggregate Letter of
Credit Exposure. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor and the
Assignee [and the execution of the consent attached hereto by the Company and
the Administrative Agent] and the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3
required to be paid on the date hereof, (i) the Assignee shall, as of the date
hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a
Bank under the Credit Agreement with a Commitment in an amount equal to the
Assigned Amount, and (ii) the Commitment of the Assignor shall, as of the date
hereof, be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor shall be released from its

assumed by the Assignee. The assignment provided for herein shall be without
recourse to the Assignor.

         SECTION 3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale
contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the

facility fees and letter of commitment fees accrued to the date hereof are for
the account of the Assignor and such fees accruing from and including the date

is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the
account of such other party to the extent of such other party's interest therein
and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.

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

breakage compensation, if any, to be paid by the Assignee. It may be preferable
in an appropriate case to specify these amounts generically or by formula rather
than as a fixed sum.
