(MULTICURRENCY--CROSS BORDER)

                                     ISDA(R)

                  International Swap Dealers Association. Inc.

                                MASTER AGREEMENT

                          dated as of OCTOBER 13, 2005

               BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. and GENERAL CABLE CORPORATION

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:--

1. INTERPRETATION

(a) DEFINITIONS. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b) INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c) SINGLE AGREEMENT. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between
the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties
would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2. OBLIGATIONS

(a) GENERAL CONDITIONS.

      (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
      Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
      Agreement.

      (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
      on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
      Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
      transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
      required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by
      payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the
      manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in
      the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

      (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
      (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
      Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing,
      (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of
      the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and
      (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b) CHANGE OF ACCOUNT. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.

(c) NETTING. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--

      (i) in the same currency; and

      (ii) in respect of the same Transaction,

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive
payments or deliveries.

(d) DEDUCTION OR WITHHOLDING FOR TAX.

      (i) GROSS-UP. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
      deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
      deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by
      the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
      effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
      ("X") will:--

            (1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;

            (2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
            deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
            deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under
            this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that
            such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that
            such amount has been assessed against Y;

            (3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
            or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such
            payment to such authorities; and

            (4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
            the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
            such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
            actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes,
            whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would
            have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
            However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to
            the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:--

                  (A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
                  contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

                  (B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
                  Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would
                  not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing
                  authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on
                  or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into
                  (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with
                  respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax
                  Law.

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

      (ii) LIABILITY. If:--

            (1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
            of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
            deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required
            to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

            (2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and

            (3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against
            X,

      then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability
      resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such
      liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any
      related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or
      perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

(e) DEFAULT INTEREST; OTHER AMOUNTS. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.

3. REPRESENTATIONS

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into
and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the
termination of this Agreement) that:--

(a) BASIC REPRESENTATIONS.

      (i) STATUS. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of
      the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant

      its obligations under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any
      Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
      action to authorise such execution, delivery and performance;

      (iii) NO VIOLATION OR CONFLICT. Such execution, delivery and performance
      do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of
      its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other
      agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any
      contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;

      (iv) CONSENTS. All governmental and other consents that are required to
      have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit

      force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been
      complied with; and

      (v) OBLIGATIONS BINDING. Its obligations under this Agreement and any
      Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid
      and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective
      terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency,
      moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
      subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general
      application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
      in equity or at law)).

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

      deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion,
      execution or submission of such form or document would not materially

      demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a
      manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and

located ("Stamp Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the other party against
any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of the other

5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND TERMINATION EVENTS

(a) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if
applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of
such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an
"Event of Default") with respect to such party:--

      (i) FAILURE TO PAY OR DELIVER. Failure by the party to make, when due, any
      payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e)
      required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the
      third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the
      party;

      (ii) BREACH OF AGREEMENT. Failure by the party to comply with or perform
      any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment

      notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section
      4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party
      in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or
      before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
      party;

      (iii) CREDIT SUPPORT DEFAULT.

            (1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such
            party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be
            complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit
            Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable
            grace period has elapsed;

            (2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or
            the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full
            force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case
            other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction
            of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which
            such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of
            the other party; or

            (3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims,

      misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have
      been made or repeated;

      (V) DEFAULT UNDER SPECIFIED TRANSACTION. The party, any Credit Support
      Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party

      notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
      on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
      termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
      least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice
      requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
      rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is
      taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act
      on its behalf);

      (vi) CROSS DEFAULT. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as
      applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event
      of default or other similar condition or event (however

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

      party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more
      agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of
      them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less
      than the applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which
      has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable
      at such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or
      instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a
      default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified
      Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on
      the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the
      applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after
      giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period);

      (vii) BANKRUPTCY. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
      any applicable Specified Entity of such party:--

            (1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation,

            (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a
            judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any
            bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting
            creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or
            liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition
            instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A)
            results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an
            order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or
            liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or

            or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or
            is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the
            applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any
            of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9)
            takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to,
            approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or

      (viii) MERGER WITHOUT ASSUMPTION. The party or any Credit Support Provider
      of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
      transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at
      the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:--

            (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume
            all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider
            under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or

            Agreement; or

            (2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend

            resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under
            this Agreement.

(b) TERMINATION EVENTS. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the
event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii)
below or a Tax Event upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and,
if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

<PAGE>

Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional
Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:--

      (i) ILLEGALITY. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
      law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the
      promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court,
      tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
      applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a
      result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
      will be the Affected Party):--

            (1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
            payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect
            of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision
            of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

            (2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to
            perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such
            Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document
            relating to such Transaction;

      (ii) TAX EVENT. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
      brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
      which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is
      taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a
      Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or
      there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding
      Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an
      additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
      2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
      6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be
      deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of
      interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is
      required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other
      than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

      (iii) TAX EVENT UPON MERGER. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next
      succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an
      additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
      2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
      6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
      withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which
      the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
      reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a
      party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or
      transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which
      will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
      described in Section 5(a)(viii);

      (iv) CREDIT EVENT UPON MERGER. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
      in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit
      Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
      or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
      substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not
      constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
      creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
      materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
      Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
      (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate,
      will be the Affected Party); or

      (v) ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
      specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence
      of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties
      shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the
      Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c) EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ILLEGALITY. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an
Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event
of Default.

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

6. EARLY TERMINATION

(a) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.

      (i) NOTICE. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
      promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the
      nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will
      also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
      party may reasonably require.

      (ii) TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT. If either an Illegality under
      Section 5(b)(i)(l) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected
      Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the
      Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to
      designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all
      reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss,
      excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days
      after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations
      under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of
      its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

      If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
      notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
      whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
      notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

      Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject
      to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party,
      which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in
      effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
      transferee on the terms proposed.

      (iii) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a
      Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use
      all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice
      thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination
      Event.

      (iv) RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If:--

            (1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section
            6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to
            all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party
            gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

            (2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
            Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event
            Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

      either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
      of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event
      or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
      Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a
      Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is
      only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other
      party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

                                       8

<PAGE>

      continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is
      effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
      Transactions.

(c) EFFECT OF DESIGNATION.

      (i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section
      6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
      designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
      Event is then continuing.

      (ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
      Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in
      respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
      without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount if
      any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined
      pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d) CALCULATIONS.

      (i) STATEMENT. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
      occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
      calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
      provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
      such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
      amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
      account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
      written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in
      determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such
      quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of
      such quotation.

      (ii) PAYMENT DATE. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
      Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that
      notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
      Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
      Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
      which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
      Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
      Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
      applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
      Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
      Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable
      Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
      and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. If an Early Termination Date occurs. the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule
of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method,
either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to
designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed
that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply.
The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.

      (i) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event
      of Default:--

            (1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and
            Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
            Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the
            sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
            Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
            Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
            Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
            the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

            (2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
            Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive
            number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this
            Agreement.

            (3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and
            Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the
            sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

                                       9

<PAGE>

            Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and
            the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to
            the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency
            Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If
            that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it
            to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the
            Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to
            the Defaulting Party.

            (4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an
            amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in
            respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the
            Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a
            negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
            value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

      (ii) TERMINATION EVENTS. If the Early Termination Date results from a
      Termination Event:--

            (1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount
            payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if
            Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies,
            except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and
            to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the
            Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party,
            respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the
            Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in
            respect of all Terminated Transactions.

            (2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:--

                  (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a
                  Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions,
                  and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a)
                  one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of
                  the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the
                  Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
                  Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
                  the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
                  Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and

                  (B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
                  respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the
                  Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
                  Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal
                  to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party
                  with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the
                  lower Loss ("Y").

            If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if
            it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that
            amount to Y.

      (iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY. In circumstances where an Early
      Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
      respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
      subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
      reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
      this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
      the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
      under Section 6(d)(ii).

      (iv) PRE-ESTIMATE. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
      amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of
      loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and
      the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise
      provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any
      additional damages as a consequence of such losses.

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

7. TRANSFER

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that:--

(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

8. CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY

(a) PAYMENT IN THE CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY. Each payment under this Agreement will
be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment
(the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any
obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual
receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and
in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into this Contractual
Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable
in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional
amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the
shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of
such excess.

(b) JUDGMENTS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs
of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.

(c) SEPARATE INDEMNITIES. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party
to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained
or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this
Agreement.

(d) EVIDENCE OF LOSS. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

9. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

(b) AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.

(c) SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.

(d) REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

(e) COUNTERPARTS AND CONFIRMATIONS.

      (i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect
      of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
      facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

      (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
      Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or
      otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable
      and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
      transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of
      electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
      will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to
      this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another
      effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
      constitutes a Confirmation.

(f) NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(g) HEADINGS. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

10. OFFICES; MULTIBRANCH PARTIES

(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office
or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations
of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its
head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such
party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives
payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior
written consent of the other party.

(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through
which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction
will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

11. EXPENSES

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination
of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

12. NOTICES

Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and
effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.

address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at
which notices or other communications are to be given to it.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

(a) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.

(b) JURISDICTION. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to
this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:--

      (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement
      is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive
      jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States
      District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if
      this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New
      York; and

      (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of
      venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that
      such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further
      waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such
      court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in
any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed
by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil
Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or
re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) SERVICE OF PROCESS. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if
any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its
behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

                                       13

<PAGE>

reason any party's Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will
promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process
agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service
of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in
this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

(d) WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets
(irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of
sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any
court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for
recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after
judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its
revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts
of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

(including, without limitation, a connection arising from such recipient or

with respect to such Specified Transaction.

"LOSS" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency
Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its
total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number)
in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost
of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or
cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from
any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any
payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date
and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3)
or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and
out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its
Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably
practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A
party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of
relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant
markets.

"MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions
and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

                                       15

<PAGE>

been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of
the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be
excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for
the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction
of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to
be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation
as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The
party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference
Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of
the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as
reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and
time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good
faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if
each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the
quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest
values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will
be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations.
For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or
lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than
three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in
respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
cannot be determined.

"NON-DEFAULT RATE" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or
evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if

dealers having an office in the same city.

"RELEVANT JURISDICTION" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in

on, such payer.

"SETTLEMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination
Date, the sum of:--

(a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether
positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and

(b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any
Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in
the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a
commercially reasonable result.

"SPECIFIED ENTITY" has the meaning specified in the Schedule.

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the
originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the
extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such
amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would

                            PART 5: OTHER PROVISIONS

(a)   SET-OFF. Any amount (the "Early Termination Amount") payable to one party
      (the Payee) by the other party (the Payer) under Section 6(e), in
      circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or one Affected Party in
      the case where a Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv) or (v) has
      occurred, will, at the option of the party ("X") other than the Defaulting
      Party or the Affected Party (and without prior notice to the Defaulting
      Party or the Affected Party), be reduced by its set-off against any
      amount(s) (the "Other Agreement Amount") payable (whether at such time or
      in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the
      Payer (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of
      the obligation) under any other agreement(s) between the Payee and the
      Payer or instrument(s) or undertaking(s) issued or executed by one party
      to, or in favor of, the other party (and the Other Agreement Amount will
      be discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so
      set-off). X will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected
      under this Part 5(a).

      For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other
      Agreement Amount (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be
      converted by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the
      rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable
      manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such
      currency.

      If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that
      obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant
      party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.

      Nothing in this Part 5(a) shall be effective to create a charge or other
      security interest. This Part 5(a) shall be without prejudice and in
      addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other
      right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by
      operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(b)   DELIVERY OF CONFIRMATIONS. For each Transaction entered into hereunder,
      Party A shall promptly send to Party B a Confirmation via facsimile
      transmission. Party B agrees to respond to such Confirmation within two
      (2) Local Business Days, either confirming agreement thereto or requesting
      a correction of any error(s) contained therein. Failure by Party A to send
      a Confirmation or of Party B to respond within such period shall not
      affect the validity or enforceability of such Transaction. Absent manifest
      error, there shall be a presumption that the terms contained in such
      Confirmation are the terms of the Transaction.

(c)   RECORDING OF CONVERSATIONS. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and
      agrees to the tape recording of conversations between trading and
      marketing personnel of the parties to this Agreement whether by one or
      other or both of the parties or their agents, and that any such tape
      recordings may be submitted in evidence in any proceedings relating to the
      Agreement.

      form or document is required" before the word "any" on the first line

            other party (which representation will be deemed to be repeated by
            each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into) that
            it is an "eligible contract participant" as defined in Section
            1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(12)."

(g)   Section 3 is revised so as to add the following Section (g) at the end

            its own independent decisions to enter into that Transaction and as
            to whether that Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based
            upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has
            deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or
            oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation
            to enter into that Transaction; it being understood that information
            and explanations related to the terms and conditions of a
            Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a
            recommendation to enter into that Transaction. Further, such party
            has not received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as
            to the expected results of that Transaction.

            (ii) EVALUATION AND UNDERSTANDING. It is capable of evaluating and
            understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional
            advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and
            risks of that Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and
            assumes, the financial and other risks of that Transaction.

            (iii) STATUS OF PARTIES. The other party is not acting as an agent,
            fiduciary or advisor for it in respect of that Transaction."

(h)   WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
      AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
      ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
      CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(i)   CROSS DEFAULT. Section 5(a)(vi) of this Agreement is hereby amended adding
      the following after the semicolon at the end thereof:

            "provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject
            to any provision to the contrary contained in any such agreement or
            instrument), an Event of Default shall not occur under either (1) or
            (2) above if the default, event of default or other similar
            condition or event referred to in (1) or the failure to pay referred
            to in (2) is caused not (even in part) by the unavailability of
            funds but is caused solely due to a technical or administrative
            error which has been remedied within three Local Business Days after
            notice of such failure is given to the party."

(j)   USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Party A hereby notifies Party B that pursuant to

      the parties, Premiums would otherwise be payable hereunder in the same
      Currency between the same respective offices of the parties, then, on such
      date, each party's obligation to make payment of such Premiums will be
      automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate Premiums that
      would otherwise have been payable by such office of one party exceeds the
      aggregate Premiums that would otherwise have been payable by such office
      of the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the
      larger aggregate Premiums would have been payable to pay the other party
      the excess of the larger aggregate Premiums over the smaller aggregate
      Premiums, and if the aggregate Premiums are equal, no payment shall be
      made.

(d)   PAYMENT NETTING OF FX TRANSACTIONS AND CURRENCY OPTION TRANSACTIONS. The
      provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to FX
      Transactions or Currency Option Transactions. Unless otherwise mutually
      agreed by the parties, if on any date more than one delivery of a
      particular Currency is to be made between a pair of offices with respect
      to settlement of FX Transactions or Currency Option Transactions (but
      excluding payments with respect to option premiums and cash settled
      options), then each party shall aggregate the amounts of such Currency
      deliverable by it and only the difference between these aggregate amounts
      shall be delivered by the party owing the larger aggregate amount to the
      other party, and, if the aggregate amounts are equal, no delivery of the
      Currency shall be made.

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

(e)   PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
      the Agreement, for purposes of Section 6(d) and 6(e) of the Agreement,

      Transactions.

WITH RESPECT TO THAT OTHER POSTED SUPPORT WILL BE TO THAT PARTY AS THE

EQUAL THE AMOUNT BY WHICH:

      (i) THE VALUE AS OF THAT VALUATION DATE OF ALL POSTED CREDIT SUPPORT HELD

      EXCEEDS

      (ii) THE CREDIT SUPPORT AMOUNT.

ANY VALUATION DATE (i) THE SECURED PARTY'S EXPOSURE FOR THAT VALUATION DATE PLUS
(ii) THE AGGREGATE OF ALL INDEPENDENT AMOUNTS APPLICABLE TO THE PLEDGOR, IF ANY,
MINUS (iii) ALL INDEPENDENT AMOUNTS APPLICABLE TO THE SECURED PARTY, IF ANY,
MINUS (iv) THE PLEDGOR'S THRESHOLD; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE CREDIT SUPPORT

      RECALCULATE THE EXPOSURE AND THE VALUE AS OF THE RECALCULATION DATE BY:

            (A) UTILIZING ANY CALCULATIONS OF EXPOSURE FOR THE TRANSACTIONS (OR
            SWAP TRANSACTIONS) THAT THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED ARE NOT IN DISPUTE;

            (B) CALCULATING THE EXPOSURE FOR THE TRANSACTIONS (OR SWAP
            TRANSACTIONS) IN DISPUTE BY SEEKING FOUR ACTUAL QUOTATIONS AT
            MID-MARKET FROM REFERENCE MARKET-MAKERS FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING
            MARKET QUOTATION, AND TAKING THE ARITHMETIC AVERAGE OF THOSE
            OBTAINED; PROVIDED THAT IF FOUR QUOTATIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR A
            PARTICULAR TRANSACTION (OR SWAP TRANSACTION), THEN FEWER THAN FOUR
            QUOTATIONS MAY BE USED FOR THAT TRANSACTION (OR SWAP TRANSACTION);
            AND IF NO QUOTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION (OR
            SWAP TRANSACTION), THEN THE VALUATION AGENT'S ORIGINAL CALCULATIONS
            WILL BE USED FOR THAT TRANSACTION (OR SWAP TRANSACTION); AND

                                       31

<PAGE>

(a) Care of Posted Collateral. WITHOUT LIMITING THE SECURED PARTY'S RIGHTS UNDER
PARAGRAPH 6(c), THE SECURED PARTY WILL EXERCISE REASONABLE CARE TO ASSURE THE
SAFE CUSTODY OF ALL POSTED COLLATERAL TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
AND IN ANY EVENT THE SECURED PARTY WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE EXERCISED REASONABLE
CARE IF IT EXERCISES AT LEAST THE SAME DEGREE OF CARE AS IT WOULD EXERCISE WITH
RESPECT TO ITS OWN PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, THE
SECURED PARTY WILL HAVE NO DUTY WITH RESPECT TO POSTED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DUTY TO COLLECT ANY DISTRIBUTIONS, OR ENFORCE OR
PRESERVE ANY RIGHTS PERTAINING THERETO.

      ENTITLED TO HOLD POSTED COLLATERAL OR TO APPOINT AN AGENT (A "CUSTODIAN")
      TO HOLD POSTED COLLATERAL FOR THE SECURED PARTY. UPON NOTICE BY THE
      SECURED PARTY TO THE PLEDGOR OF THE APPOINTMENT OF A CUSTODIAN, THE
      PLEDGOR'S OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE ANY TRANSFER WILL BE DISCHARGED BY MAKING
      THE TRANSFER TO THAT CUSTODIAN. THE HOLDING OF POSTED COLLATERAL BY A
      CUSTODIAN WILL BE DEEMED TO BE THE HOLDING OF THAT POSTED COLLATERAL BY
      THE SECURED PARTY FOR WHICH THE CUSTODIAN IS ACTING.

      (ii) Failure to Satisfy Conditions. IF THE SECURED PARTY OR ITS CUSTODIAN
      FAILS TO SATISFY ANY CONDITIONS FOR HOLDING POSTED COLLATERAL, THEN UPON A
      DEMAND MADE BY THE PLEDGOR, THE SECURED PARTY WILL, NOT LATER THAN FIVE
      LOCAL BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DEMAND, TRANSFER OR CAUSE ITS CUSTODIAN TO
      TRANSFER ALL POSTED COLLATERAL HELD BY IT TO A CUSTODIAN THAT SATISFIES
      THOSE CONDITIONS OR TO THE SECURED PARTY IF IT SATISFIES THOSE CONDITIONS.

      (iii) Liability. THE SECURED PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR
      OMISSIONS OF ITS CUSTODIAN TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT THE SECURED PARTY WOULD
      BE LIABLE HEREUNDER FOR ITS OWN ACTS OR OMISSIONS.

(c) Use of Posted Collateral. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 13 AND
WITHOUT LIMITING THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER PARAGRAPHS 3,
4(d)(ii), 5, 6(d) AND 8, IF THE SECURED PARTY IS NOT A DEFAULTING PARTY OR AN
AFFECTED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A SPECIFIED CONDITION AND NO EARLY TERMINATION
DATE HAS OCCURRED OR BEEN DESIGNATED AS THE RESULT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR
SPECIFIED CONDITION WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURED PARTY, THEN THE SECURED PARTY
WILL, NOTWITHSTANDING SECTION 9-207 OF THE NEW YORK UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE,
HAVE THE RIGHT TO:

      (i) SELL, PLEDGE, REHYPOTHECATE, ASSIGN, INVEST, USE, COMMINGLE OR
      OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF, OR OTHERWISE USE IN ITS BUSINESS ANY POSTED
      COLLATERAL IT HOLDS, FREE FROM ANY CLAIM OR RIGHT OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER
      OF THE PLEDGOR, INCLUDING ANY EQUITY OR RIGHT OF REDEMPTION BY THE
      PLEDGOR; AND

      (ii) REGISTER ANY POSTED COLLATERAL IN THE NAME OF THE SECURED PARTY, ITS
      CUSTODIAN OR A NOMINEE FOR EITHER.

FOR PURPOSES OF THE OBLIGATION TO TRANSFER ELIGIBLE CREDIT SUPPORT OR POSTED
CREDIT SUPPORT PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPHS 3 AND 5 AND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURED PARTY WILL BE DEEMED TO CONTINUE TO
HOLD ALL POSTED COLLATERAL AND TO RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE THEREON, REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER THE SECURED PARTY HAS EXERCISED ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY POSTED
COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO (i) OR (ii) ABOVE.

(d) Distributions and Interest Amount.

      (i) Distributions. SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH 4(a), IF THE SECURED PARTY
      RECEIVES OR IS DEEMED TO RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS ON A LOCAL BUSINESS DAY, IT
      WILL TRANSFER TO THE PLEDGOR NOT LATER THAN THE FOLLOWING LOCAL BUSINESS
      DAY ANY DISTRIBUTIONS IT RECEIVES OR IS DEEMED TO RECEIVE TO THE EXTENT
      THAT A DELIVERY AMOUNT WOULD NOT BE CREATED OR INCREASED BY THAT TRANSFER,
      AS CALCULATED BY THE VALUATION AGENT (AND THE DATE OF CALCULATION WILL BE
      DEEMED TO BE A VALUATION DATE FOR THIS PURPOSE).

      (ii) Interest Amount. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 13 AND
      SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH 4(a), IN LIEU OF ANY INTEREST, DIVIDENDS OR OTHER
      AMOUNTS PAID OR DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN PAID WITH RESPECT TO POSTED COLLATERAL
      IN THE FORM OF CASH (ALL OF WHICH MAY BE RETAINED BY THE SECURED PARTY),
      THE SECURED

                                                                   ISDA (R) 1992

                                       32

<PAGE>

      PARTY WILL TRANSFER TO THE PLEDGOR AT THE TIMES SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 13
      THE INTEREST AMOUNT TO THE EXTENT THAT A DELIVERY AMOUNT WOULD NOT BE
      CREATED OR INCREASED BY THAT TRANSFER, AS CALCULATED BY THE VALUATION
      AGENT (AND THE DATE OF CALCULATION WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A VALUATION DATE
      FOR THIS PURPOSE). THE INTEREST AMOUNT OR PORTION THEREOF NOT TRANSFERRED
      PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH WILL CONSTITUTE POSTED COLLATERAL IN THE FORM
      OF CASH AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED UNDER
      PARAGRAPH 2.

Paragraph 7. Events of Default

FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 5(a)(iii)(1) OF THIS AGREEMENT, AN EVENT OF DEFAULT WILL
EXIST WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY IF:

      (i) THAT PARTY FAILS (OR FAILS TO CAUSE ITS CUSTODIAN) TO MAKE, WHEN DUE,
      ANY TRANSFER OF ELIGIBLE COLLATERAL, POSTED COLLATERAL OR THE INTEREST
      AMOUNT, AS APPLICABLE, REQUIRED TO BE MADE BY IT AND THAT FAILURE
      CONTINUES FOR TWO LOCAL BUSINESS DAYS AFTER NOTICE OF THAT FAILURE IS
      GIVEN TO THAT PARTY;

      (ii) THAT PARTY FAILS TO COMPLY WITH ANY RESTRICTION OR PROHIBITION
      SPECIFIED IN THIS ANNEX WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE RIGHTS SPECIFIED IN
      PARAGRAPH 6(c) AND THAT FAILURE CONTINUES FOR FIVE LOCAL BUSINESS DAYS
      AFTER NOTICE OF THAT FAILURE IS GIVEN TO THAT PARTY; OR

      (iii) THAT PARTY FAILS TO COMPLY WITH OR PERFORM ANY AGREEMENT OR
      OBLIGATION OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPHS 7(i) AND 7(ii) AND
      THAT FAILURE CONTINUES FOR 30 DAYS AFTER NOTICE OF THAT FAILURE IS GIVEN
      TO THAT PARTY.

OR SPECIFIED CONDITION WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGOR HAS OCCURRED AND IS
CONTINUING OR (2) AN EARLY TERMINATION DATE HAS OCCURRED OR BEEN DESIGNATED AS

PLEDGOR, THEN, UNLESS THE PLEDGOR HAS PAID IN FULL ALL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS THAT
ARE THEN DUE, THE SECURED PARTY MAY EXERCISE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING RIGHTS

      SECURED PARTY TO TRANSFER THAT POSTED COLLATERAL); AND

      (iv) THE RIGHT TO LIQUIDATE ANY POSTED COLLATERAL HELD BY THE SECURED
      PARTY THROUGH ONE OR MORE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SALES OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS

      EQUITY OR RIGHT OF REDEMPTION BY THE PLEDGOR (WITH THE SECURED PARTY
      HAVING THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE ANY OR ALL OF THE POSTED COLLATERAL TO BE
      SOLD) AND TO APPLY THE PROCEEDS (OR THE CASH EQUIVALENT THEREOF) FROM THE
      LIQUIDATION OF THE POSTED COLLATERAL TO ANY AMOUNTS PAYABLE BY THE PLEDGOR

                        CONTINUING UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY

      THIS CONTINUING UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY (this "GUARANTY") is made as of
February 2, 2006 and is effective as of October 13, 2005 by GENERAL CABLE
INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("GUARANTOR"), to and for the benefit
of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. ("COUNTERPARTY").

      WHEREAS, GENERAL CABLE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("PRIMARY
OBLIGOR") and Counterparty have entered into that certain ISDA Master Agreement
dated as of October 13, 2005 between Primary Obligor and Counterparty; that
certain Schedule to such ISDA Master Agreement dated as of October 13, 2005; a
Confirmation with a trade date of October 13, 2005 (such ISDA Master Agreement,
Schedule, Confirmation, and Credit Support Annex (hereinafter defined) together,
as any of them may be amended, supplemented, modified or restated from time to
time, the "SWAP AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Primary Obligor and Counterparty
have entered into a certain foreign currency swap transaction, all more
completely described in and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Swap Agreement and all of the other agreements, documents, instruments,
certificates, reports and financing statements heretofore or hereafter executed
or delivered in connection therewith (specifically including without limitation
any Credit Support Annex), as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified or
restated from time to time (all of such agreements, etc., together with the Swap
Agreement, collectively referred to herein as the "SWAP DOCUMENTS");

      WHEREAS, Guarantor is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Primary
Obligor and, pursuant to Counterparty's request, as an incident to the
obligation of Counterparty to enter into the Swap Agreement with Primary
Obligor, is required, and has agreed, to execute and deliver this Agreement of
even date herewith;

      WHEREAS, Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that, as wholly-owned
subsidiary of Primary Obligor, (a) it will benefit from the foreign currency
swap transactions entered into by Primary Obligor and Counterparty pursuant to
the Swap Agreement, (b) the undertakings and obligations of Counterparty in
favor of Primary Obligor under the Swap Agreement constitute valuable
consideration to Guarantor, (c) it was agreed by Primary Obligor and
Counterparty at the time the Swap Agreement was entered into that, as an
inducement to Counterparty to enter into the foreign currency swap transactions
provided for therein, that Primary Obligor would cause Guarantor to provide a
guaranty of the obligations and undertakings of Primary Obligor in favor of
Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, and (d) Counterparty relied on such
agreement entering into the Swap Agreement and the foreign currency swap
transactions provided for thereunder.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for value received and in consideration of the entry by
Counterparty into and of the undertakings and obligations of Counterparty in
favor of Primary Obligor under the Swap Agreement the undersigned Guarantor
unconditionally guaranties and agrees to stand surety for (i) the full and
prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of early
termination, acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of
the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of every kind and nature of
Primary Obligor to Counterparty under the Swap Agreement and the other Swap
Documents, howsoever created,

                                       47

<PAGE>

arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint
or several, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, and howsoever
owned, held or acquired by Counterparty (including without limitation any
interest, fees or expenses accruing following the commencement of any
insolvency, receivership, reorganization or bankruptcy case or proceeding
relating to Primary Obligor, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest,
fees or expenses is allowed in such case or proceeding), and (ii) the prompt,
full and faithful discharge by Primary Obligor of each and every term,
condition, agreement, representation and warranty now or hereafter made by
Primary Obligor to Counterparty under the Swap Agreement and the other Swap
Documents (all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations being hereinafter
referred to as the "PRIMARY OBLIGOR'S LIABILITIES"). Guarantor further agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all court
costs and reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees paid or incurred by
Counterparty in endeavoring to collect all or any part of Primary Obligor's
Liabilities from, or in prosecuting any action against, Guarantor or any other
guarantor of all or any part of Primary Obligor's Liabilities. All amounts
payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be payable upon demand by
Counterparty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Swap Agreement
or any other Swap Document and shall be made in lawful money of the United
States, in immediately available funds.

      Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, it is
intended that this Guaranty, and any liens and security interests granted by
Guarantor to secure this Guaranty, not constitute a "Fraudulent Conveyance" (as
defined below). Consequently, Guarantor agrees that if the Guaranty, or any
liens or security interests securing this Guaranty, would, but for the
application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Guaranty
and each such lien and security interest shall be valid and enforceable only to
the maximum extent that would not cause this Guaranty or such lien or security
interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guaranty shall
automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times.
For purposes hereof, "FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE" means a fraudulent conveyance under
Section 548 of the "Bankruptcy Code" (as hereinafter defined) or a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state,
nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.

      Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty shall be
unconditional, irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability of Primary
Obligor's Liabilities or any part thereof, or of any Swap Document, promissory
note or other document evidencing all or any part of Primary Obligor's
Liabilities, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect Primary Obligor's
Liabilities from Primary Obligor or any other guarantor or other action to
enforce the same, (iii) the waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to
any provision of any instrument evidencing Primary Obligor's Liabilities, or any
part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by
Primary Obligor and delivered to Counterparty, (iv) the institution of any
proceeding under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C.
Section 101 et seq.), as amended (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE"), or any similar
proceeding, by or against Primary Obligor, or Counterparty's election in any
such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,
(v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by Primary Obligor as
debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) the
disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of
Counterparty's

                                       48

<PAGE>

claim(s) for repayment of Primary Obligor's Liabilities, or (vii) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a guarantor.

      Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of Primary
Obligor, protest or notice with respect to Primary Obligor's Liabilities and all
demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged,
except by complete performance of the obligations and liabilities contained
herein. Upon any default by Primary Obligor as provided in the Swap Agreement or
any other Swap Document, Counterparty may, at its sole election, proceed
directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to collect and recover
the full amount or any portion of Primary Obligor's Liabilities, without first
proceeding against Primary Obligor, or any other person, firm, or corporation,
or against any security or collateral for Primary Obligor's Liabilities.
Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment when due
and not of collection.

      Counterparty is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without
affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, to at any time and from time to
time (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of,
or other terms relating to, Primary Obligor's Liabilities or otherwise modify,
amend or change the terms of the Swap Agreement or any other Swap Document now
or hereafter executed by Primary Obligor and delivered to Counterparty; (ii)
accept partial payments on Primary Obligor's Liabilities; (iii) take and hold
security or collateral for the payment of Primary Obligor's Liabilities
guaranteed hereby, or for the payment of this Guaranty, or for the payment of
any other guaranties of Primary Obligor's Liabilities, and exchange, waive and
release any such security or collateral; (iv) apply such security or collateral
and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in its sole discretion it may
determine; and (v) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate
Primary Obligor's Liabilities and any security or collateral therefor in any
manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
Counterparty shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of
application of any payments or credits, whether received from Primary Obligor or
any other source, and such determination shall be binding on Guarantor. All such
payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in
part, to any of Primary Obligor's Liabilities as Counterparty shall determine in
its sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of this
Guaranty.

      Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
financial condition of Primary Obligor, and any and all endorsers and/or other
guarantor of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of Primary
Obligor's Liabilities and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of Primary Obligor's Liabilities or any part thereof that diligent
inquiry would reveal and Guarantor hereby agrees that Counterparty shall have no
duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Counterparty regarding such
condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part
of its regular business routine. If Counterparty, in its sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to
Guarantor, Counterparty shall be under no obligation to update any such
information or to provide any such information to Guarantor on any subsequent
occasion.

      Guarantor consents and agrees that Counterparty shall be under no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor or against or in payment
of any or all of Primary

                                       49

<PAGE>

Obligor's Liabilities. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that Primary
Obligor makes a payment or payments to Counterparty, or Counterparty receives
any proceeds of collateral, which payment or payments or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
and/or required to be repaid to Primary Obligor, its estate, trustee, receiver
or any other party, including, without limitation, Guarantor under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable theory, then to
the extent of such payment or repayment, Primary Obligor's Liabilities or the
part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount, and
Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to such portion of Primary
Obligor's Liabilities, shall be reinstated and continued in full force and
effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

      Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of Guarantor against Primary
Obligor, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of Primary
Obligor's Liabilities, or against any of Primary Obligor's properties, whether
arising by reason of any payment by Guarantor to Counterparty pursuant to the
provisions hereof, or otherwise, shall be subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment, in full, of all of Primary Obligor's Liabilities.

      Counterparty may, without notice to anyone, sell or assign Primary
Obligor's Liabilities or any part thereof, or grant participations therein, and
in any such event each and every immediate or remote assignee or holder of, or
participant in, all or any of Primary Obligor's Liabilities shall have the right
to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise for the benefit of such assignee,
holder, or participant, as fully as if herein by name specifically given such
right, but Counterparty shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to
that of any such assignee, holder or participant, to enforce this Guaranty for
the benefit of Counterparty, as to any part of Primary Obligor's Liabilities
retained by Counterparty.

      This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and upon the successors
(including without limitation, any receiver, trustee or debtor in possession of
or for Guarantor) of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Counterparty
and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Guarantor's obligations
hereunder may not be delegated or assigned without Counterparty's prior written
consent. If there is more than one signatory hereto, all references to Guarantor
herein shall include each and every Guarantor and each and every obligation of
Guarantor hereunder shall be the joint and several obligation of each Guarantor.

      Guarantor (and each of them, if there be more than one) represents and
warrants (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and
delivery hereof) to Counterparty that:

      (A) It has the legal capacity and corporate authority to execute, deliver
and perform this Guaranty, and the transactions contemplated hereby;

      (B) No consent of any person (including, without limitation, creditors of
Guarantor), and no consent, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by,
notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any
governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty and the transactions
contemplated hereby;

                                       50

<PAGE>

      (C) This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally; and

      (D) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not
violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Guarantor or any
requirement of law applicable to or material contractual obligation of
Guarantor.

      This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until such time as
all of Primary Obligor's Liabilities have been paid in full and discharged, and
the Swap Agreement and the other Swap Documents have been terminated.

      Wherever possible each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law,
such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Guaranty.

      THIS GUARANTY AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND ARISING HEREFROM
(WHETHER ARISING UNDER CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD
REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

      THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE U.S.
DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREOF, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT
TO COUNTERPARTY'S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS, UNLESS NONE OF SUCH
COURTS HAS LAWFUL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PROCEEDINGS. THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR
ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON
CONVENIENS. EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COUNTERPARTY IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE
BOUND BY ANY FINAL JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR
THE OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR HEREUNDER.

      THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER AND
METHODS SET FORTH BELOW FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES UNDER THIS GUARANTY.

      EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR AND COUNTERPARTY HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR

      Any notices to be given by one party to the other under this Guaranty
shall be given by the notifying party by hand delivery or nationally recognized
overnight courier delivered to the notice address for the party to whom notice

when delivered to such address of the party to whom notice is being given.

      This Guaranty represents the entire understanding and agreement between
Guarantor, on the one hand, and Counterparty, on the other hand, with respect to

other Swap Documents are cumulative and not alternative, and Counterparty may

any other guarantor of all or any part of the Primary Obligor's Liabilities
and/or the obligations or liabilities of any of them under any Swap Document and
their respective assets. Counterparty shall not have any obligation to proceed
at any time or in any manner against, or exhaust any or all of Counterparty's
rights against, Primary Obligor, or the Guarantor or any other guarantor of all
or any part of the Primary Obligor's Liabilities prior to proceeding against
