         6. Governing Law. This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York but without
giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that

of Base Rate Advances, 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the
Business Day of a requested Borrowing, in each case to the
Administrative Agent's Applicable Lending Office.  The
Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice on
the day of receipt of a timely Notice of Borrowing of such
requested Borrowing by telecopier or telex.  Each Notice of
Borrowing shall be by telecopier, telex or telephone, confirmed
promptly in writing specifying (A) the Borrowing Date (which
shall be a Business Day), (B) the requested Type and Class of
Advances comprising such Borrowing, (C) the requested aggregate
amount of such Borrowing, and (D) if such Borrowing is to be
comprised of Eurodollar Advances, the requested Interest Period
for each such Borrowing.  In the case of a requested Borrowing
comprised of Eurodollar Advances, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under
Section 2.06(b).  Each Lender shall make available its Revolving
A Share or Revolving B Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing
before 12:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date of such
Borrowing in immediately available funds to the Administrative
Agent at its Applicable Lending Office on the date of such
Borrowing or such other location as the Administrative Agent may
specify by notice to the Lenders.  After the Administrative
Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the
Administrative Agent will promptly make such funds available to
the applicable Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago,
Illinois time) at such account as such Borrower shall specify in
writing to the Administrative Agent.

        (b) Conversions and Continuations.  In order to elect to
Convert or Continue an Advance under this Section, the Company
shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation
to the Administrative Agent at its Applicable Lending Office no
later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) at least one
Business Day in advance of such requested Conversion date in the
case of a Conversion of a Eurodollar Advance to a Base Rate
Advance or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) at least
three Business Days in advance of such requested Conversion date
in the case of a Conversion into or Continuation of a Eurodollar
Advance to another Eurodollar Advance.  Each such Notice of
Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telex,
telecopier or telephone, confirmed promptly in writing specifying
(A) the requested Conversion or Continuation date (which shall be
a Business Day), (B) the amount, Type, and Class of the Advance
to be Converted or Continued, (C) whether a Conversion or
Continuation is requested, and if a Conversion, into what Type of
Advance, and (D) in the case of a Conversion to, or a
Continuation of, a Eurodollar Advance, the requested Interest
Period.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or
Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
provide each Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a
Conversion to or a Continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, notify
each Lender of the interest rate under Sections 2.06(b).  The
portion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing that
are converted to Advances of another Type shall constitute a new
Borrowing.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Conversions of Eurodollar Advances may only be made at
the end of the applicable Interest Period for such Advances;
provided, however, that Conversions of Base Rate Advances may be
made at any time.

        (c) Certain Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above:

                (i) at no time shall there be more than (A) five
        Interest Periods applicable to outstanding Eurodollar
        Advances which are Revolving B Advances and (B) five
        Interest Periods applicable to outstanding Eurodollar
        Advances which are Revolving A Advances;

                (ii) (A) if any Lender shall, at least one Business Day
        before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the
        Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change
        in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes
        it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental
        Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or
        any of its Applicable Lending Offices to perform its
        obligations under this Agreement to make Eurodollar
        Advances, or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Advances, the
        right of the Company to select Eurodollar Advances from such
        Lender for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing
        shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the
        Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such
        suspension no longer exist, and such Lender's Advance for
        such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance and (B) such
        Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
        (consistent with its internal policies and legal and
        regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
        Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid
        the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the
        reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
        disadvantageous to such Lender;

                (iii) if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine
        the Eurodollar Reference Rate for any requested Borrowing
        and the Administrative Agent gives telephonic or telecopy
        notice thereof to the Company as soon as practicable, the
        right of the Company to select Eurodollar Advances for such
        Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing and the obligation
        of the Lenders to make such Eurodollar Advances shall be
        suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the
        Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such
        suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such
        Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance;

                (iv) if the Majority Lenders shall, by 11:00 a.m.
        (Chicago, Illinois time) at least one Business Day before
        the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the
        Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Reference Rate will
        not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
        funding their respective Eurodollar Advances and the
        Administrative Agent gives telephonic or telecopy notice
        thereof to the Company as soon as practicable, the right of
        the Borrowers to select Eurodollar Advances for such
        Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing and the obligation
        of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Advances shall be
        suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the
        Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such
        suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such
        Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance;

                (v) if the Company shall fail to select the duration
        or Continuation of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar
        Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the
        definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01 and
        paragraphs (a) and (b) above or shall fail to deliver a
        Notice of Conversion or Continuation or to specify the Type
        of Eurodollar Advance in a Notice of Conversion or
        Continuation, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so
        notify the Company and the Lenders and such Advances will be
        made available to the Borrowers on the date of such
        Borrowing and will have an Interest Period of one month; and

                (vi) no Advance may be Converted or Continued as a
        Eurodollar Advance at any time when a Default has occurred
        and is continuing.

        (d) Notices Irrevocable.  Each Notice of Borrowing and
Notice of Conversion or Continuation delivered by a Borrower
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  In the case
of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion or Continuation specifies is to be comprised of
Eurodollar Advances, the Company shall indemnify each Lender
against any loss, out-of-pocket cost or expense actually incurred
by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before
the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing or such Notice of
Conversion or Continuation for such Borrowing the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, including, without
limitation, any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such
Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result
of such failure, is not made on such date.

        (e) Administrative Agent Reliance.  Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
before any Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Revolving A
Share or Revolving B Share, as applicable, of any Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its
Revolving A Share or Revolving B Share, as applicable, of such
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing
Date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and
the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the applicable Borrower on such Borrowing Date
a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender
shall not have so made its Revolving A Share or Revolving B
Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per
annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for
the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately
available to the Administrative Agent.  If such Lender shall
repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and
interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid
shall constitute such Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing
for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same
day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing.  If such
Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing is not made available
by such Lender within three Business Days of the Borrowing Date,
the applicable Borrower shall repay such Lender's share of such
Borrowing (together with interest thereon at the interest rate
applicable during such period to Advances comprising such
Borrowing) to the Administrative Agent not later than three
Business Days after receipt of written notice from the
Administrative Agent specifying such Lender's share of such
Borrowing that was not made available to the Administrative
Agent.

        (f) Lender Obligations Several.  The failure of any Lender
to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to
make its Advance on the Borrowing Date.  No Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date.

        (g) Notes.  The indebtedness of each Borrower to each
Lender resulting from Revolving A Advances and the Revolving B
Advances owing to such Lender shall be evidenced by the Revolving
A Note and the Revolving B Note, respectively, of the applicable
Borrower payable to the order of such Lender.  The indebtedness
of the Company to the Swingline Bank resulting from Swingline
Advances owing to the Swingline Bank shall be evidenced by the
Swingline Note.

        Section 2.03 Fees.

        (a) Revolving A Commitment Fees.  The Company agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having
a Revolving A Commitment a commitment fee on the average daily
amount by which such Lender's Revolving A Commitment exceeds the
sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Lender's
outstanding Revolving A Advances and (ii) its participation share
of the Letter of Credit Exposure, from the Original Closing Date
until the Revolving A Maturity Date at the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Commitment Fees.  The fees payable pursuant to this
clause (a) are due quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day
of each March, June, September, and December commencing June 30,
2002 and on the Revolving A Maturity Date.  For purposes of
calculating the commitment fee hereunder, the Letter of Credit
Exposure for any Letters of Credit issued in a currency other
than Dollars shall be at any time the Dollar Amount of such
Letter of Credit Exposure as determined on the most recent
Computation Date with respect to such Letter of Credit.

        (b) Revolving B Commitment Fees.  The Company agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having
a Revolving B Commitment a commitment fee on the average daily
amount by which such Lender's Revolving B Commitment exceeds the
aggregate principal amount of such Lender's outstanding Revolving
B Advances from the Effective Date until the Revolving B Maturity
Date at the Applicable Margin for Revolving Commitment Fees.  The
fees payable pursuant to this clause (b) are due quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September,
and December commencing June 30, 2002 and on the Revolving B Loan
Maturity Date.

        (c) Agent's Fees.  The Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger the agent's and arranger's
fees as separately agreed upon by the Company and the
Administrative Agent in the letter agreement dated December 10,
1999 from the Arranger and Bank One to the Company on the dates
required by such letter.

        (d) Letter of Credit Fees.  The Company agrees to pay
(i) to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of each
Lender having a Revolving A Commitment for each Letter of Credit
that is a Financial Letter of Credit and each Letter of Credit
that is a Performance Letter of Credit issued for its account, a
fee per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for such type of
Letter of Credit; provided that, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the applicable fee rate
on such Letters of Credit shall be the Applicable Margin for such
Letter of Credit plus 2% per annum and (ii) to such Issuing Bank,
a fee for each Letter of Credit issued for its account in an
amount per annum to be agreed upon between the Borrower and such
Issuing Bank.  Each such fee shall be based on the Dollar Amount
of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit from the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit until
its expiration date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September, and
December commencing June 30, 2002 and on its expiration date.  In
addition, the Company agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank all
customary transaction costs and fees charged by such Issuing Bank
in connection with the issuance of a Letter of Credit for the
Borrower's account, such costs and fees to be due and payable on
the date specified by such Issuing Bank in the invoice for such
costs and fees.

        Section 2.04 Reduction of the Commitments.  The Company
shall have the right, upon at least five days' irrevocable notice
to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce
ratably in part the unused portion of the Revolving A Commitments
or Revolving B Commitments; provided that each partial reduction
of Revolving A Commitments or Revolving B Commitments shall be in
the minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 and in integral
multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or such lesser
amount as may then be outstanding); and provided further that the
aggregate amount of the Revolving A Commitments or Revolving B
Commitments may not be reduced below the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Revolving A Advances or Revolving B
Advances.  Any reduction or termination of the Revolving A
Commitments or Revolving B Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.04 shall be permanent, with no obligation of the
Lenders to reinstate such Revolving A Commitments or Revolving B
Commitments and the commitment fees provided for in
Section 2.03(a) shall thereafter be computed on the basis of the
Revolving A Commitments or Revolving B Commitments as so reduced.
The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of
any commitment reduction or termination.

        Section 2.05 Repayment.

        (a) Revolving A Advances.  Each Borrower shall repay the
outstanding principal amount of each Revolving A Advance made to
it on the Revolving A Maturity Date.

        (b) Revolving B Advances. Each Borrower shall repay the
outstanding principal amount of each Revolving B Advance made to
it on the Revolving B Maturity Date.

        Section 2.06 Interest.  The Borrowers shall pay interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each
Lender to it from the date of such Advance until such principal
amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

        (a) Base Rate Advances.  If such Advance is a Base Rate
Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of
(i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time-to-time plus the
Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears
on the last Business Day of each calendar month and on the date
such Base Rate Advance shall be paid in full; provided that,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, such Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the Alternate Base Rate
in effect from time-to-time plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%
and (ii) the Maximum Rate.

        (b) Eurodollar Advances.  If such Advance is a Eurodollar
Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest
Period for such Advance to the lesser of (i) the Eurodollar
Reference Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable on the last day of such
Interest Period, and, in the case of Interest Periods of greater
than three months, on the Business Day which occurs during such
Interest Period 90 days from the first day of such Interest
Period; provided that, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, such Advance shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of
(i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Default plus 2% and (ii) the
Maximum Rate.

        (c) Additional Interest on Eurodollar Advances.  The
Company shall pay to each Lender, so long as any such Lender
shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board
to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar
Advance, from the effective date of such Advance until such
principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum
equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting
(A) the Eurodollar Reference Rate for the Interest Period for
such Advance from (B) the rate obtained by dividing such
Eurodollar Reference Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the
Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such
Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Advance.  Such additional interest payable to any
Lender shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the
Company through the Administrative Agent (such notice to include
the calculation of such additional interest, which calculation
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and be
accompanied by any evidence indicating the need for such
additional interest as the Company may reasonably request).

        (d) Usury Recapture.  In the event the rate of interest
chargeable under this Agreement or the Notes at any time
(calculated after giving effect to all items charged which
constitute "interest" under applicable laws, including fees and
margin amounts, if applicable) is greater than the Maximum Rate,
the unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at
the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or
accrued on the Notes equals the amount of interest which would
have been paid or accrued on the Notes if the stated rates of
interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in
effect.

        In the event, upon payment in full of the Notes, the total
amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this
Agreement and the Notes is less than the total amount of interest
which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest
set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect,
then each Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of
(A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on its
Notes if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and
(B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on its Notes
if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all
times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually
paid under this Agreement on its Notes.

In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as
interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess
amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of the Notes, and if no such
principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof
remaining shall be paid to the Borrowers.

        Section 2.07 Prepayments.

        (a) Right to Prepay.  The Borrowers shall have no right to
prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as provided in
this Section 2.07.

        (b) Optional.  A Borrower may elect to prepay any of the
Advances owing by it to the Lenders, after giving prior written
notice of such election by (i) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois
time) five days before such prepayment date in the case of
Borrowings which are comprised of Eurodollar Advances, and (ii)
10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the Business Day of such
prepayment, in case of Borrowings which are comprised of Base
Rate Advances, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating
the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such
prepayment and the Type of Advances to be prepaid.  If any such
notice is given, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to each Lender and such Borrower shall prepay
Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or
ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
amount specified in such notice, together with accrued interest
to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid
and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08
as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided,
however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate
principal amount not less than $5,000,000.00 and in integral
multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or such lesser
amount as may then be outstanding).

        (c) Mandatory.

                (i) On any date on which the outstanding principal
        amount of the Revolving A Advances plus the Letter of Credit
        Exposure plus the outstanding principal amount of the
        Swingline Advances exceeds the aggregate Revolving A
        Commitments, the Company agrees to make a mandatory
        prepayment of the Revolving A Advances in the amount of such
        excess.

                (ii) On any date on which the outstanding principal
        amount of the Revolving B Advances exceeds the aggregate
        Revolving B Commitments, the Company agrees to make a
        mandatory prepayment of the Revolving B Advances in the
        amount of such excess.

                (iii) Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.07(c)
        shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount
        prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any,
        required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of
        such prepayment being made on such date.

        (d) Illegality.  If any Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Company that the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation
makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental
Authority asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances then
outstanding hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall, no later
than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) (A) if not prohibited by
law or regulation to maintain such Eurodollar Advances for the
duration of the Interest Period, on the last day of the Interest
Period for each outstanding Eurodollar Advance or (B) if
prohibited by law or regulation to maintain such Eurodollar
Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the second
Business Day following its receipt of such notice, prepay all
Eurodollar Advances of all of the Lenders then outstanding,
together with accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to
the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be
paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment
being made on such date, (ii) each Lender shall simultaneously
make a Base Rate Advance or, if not otherwise prohibited, make an
Eurodollar Advance in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the affected Eurodollar Advances, and (iii) the right
of the Borrowers to select Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended
until such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.  Each
Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policies and subject to legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office
if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this
paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  If the
condition requiring the prepayment under this paragraph shall
continue for such Lender for 90 days, such Lender may be replaced
in accordance with the procedures in Section 2.13.

        (e) Ratable Payments; Effect of Notice.  Each payment of
any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07 or any other provision
of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all
Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole
or ratably in part.  All notices given pursuant to this Section
2.07 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrowers.

        Section 2.08 Funding Losses.  If (a) any payment of
principal of any Eurodollar Advance is made other than on the
last day of the Interest Period for such Advance as a result of
any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the acceleration of the
maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article VII or (b) if any
Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with
respect to any Eurodollar Advance on the date such payment is due
and payable, such Borrower shall, within 10 days of any written
demand sent by any Lender to the Company through the
Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent for the account
of such Lender any amounts (without duplication of any other
amounts payable in respect of breakage costs) required to
compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket
costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of
such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any
loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

        Section 2.09 Increased Costs.

        (a) Eurodollar Advances.  If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the
Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation
of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall
be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding, or maintaining Eurodollar Advances or
participating in the Letter of Credit Exposure or to any Issuing
Bank for issuing a Letter of Credit, then the Company shall from
time-to-time, upon demand by such Lender or such Issuing Bank
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent),
immediately pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender or such Issuing Bank additional amounts (without
duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased
costs) sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased
cost; provided, however, that, before making any such demand,
each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and
subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a
designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, be otherwise economically
disadvantageous to such Lender or such Issuing Bank.  A
certificate indicating the amount of such increased cost and
detailing the calculation of such cost shall be submitted by such
Lender or such Issuing Bank to the Company and the Administrative
Agent and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

        (b) Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or Issuing Bank
determines in good faith that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law) implemented or effective after the Original Closing Date
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or
any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Bank and
that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the
existence of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's commitment to
lend, commitment to issue a Letter of Credit, or other
commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender or
such Issuing Bank (with a copy of any such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Company shall immediately pay to
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such
Issuing Bank as the case may be, from time-to-time as specified
by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, additional amounts (without
duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased
costs) sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
in light of such circumstances, with respect to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, to the extent that such Lender or such Issuing
Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be
allocable to the existence of such Lender's or such Issuing
Bank's commitment to lend or issue a Letter of Credit under this
Agreement.  A certificate as to such amount and detailing the
calculation of such costs shall be submitted to the Company by
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, such certificate to be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

        Section 2.10 Payments and Computations.

        (a) Payments Generally.  Except as provided in Section
2.15(a) and (e), all payments of principal, interest, fees, and
other amounts to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents shall be made to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars at its office in New York or such
other office as it designates to the Company in immediately
available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim.

        (b) Payment Procedures.  The Borrowers shall make each
payment under this Agreement and under their respective Notes not
later than 12:00 p.m. (local time) on the day when due to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's address
specified in Section 10.02 (or such other location as the
Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower).
The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter, and in any
event prior to the close of business on the day any timely
payment is made, cause to be distributed like funds relating to
the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than
amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, or a specific
Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.08, 2.09, or 2.11,
but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to
Section 10.04) (i) before the acceleration of the Advances
pursuant to Section 7.02 or 7.03, (A) in the case of payments in
respect of Revolving A Advances in accordance with each Lender's
Revolving A Share, and (B) in the case of payments in respect of
Revolving B Advances, in accordance with each Lender's Revolving
B Share and (ii) after the acceleration of the Advances pursuant
to Section 7.02 or 7.03, in accordance with each Lender's Pro
Rata Share to the Lenders for the account of their respective
Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the
payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender
for the account of its Applicable Lending Offices, in each case
to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
All payments owing in respect of Advances made or Letters of
Credit issued in one currency (including, without limitation,
interest, principal, commitment fees and letter of credit fees)
shall be paid or repaid, as the case may be, in the same currency
as such Advance or Letter of Credit, as applicable.

        (c) Computations.  All computations of interest based on
the Corporate Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
and all computations of interest based on the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, the Eurodollar Reference Rate and of fees shall
be made by the Administrative Agent, on the basis of a year of
360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including
the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest or fees are payable.  Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

        (d) Non-Business Day Payments.  Whenever any payment shall
be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be.

        (e) Agent Reliance.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received written notice from a Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Lenders 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 Lender on such date an amount equal to the amount then due
to such Lender.  If and to the extent a Borrower shall not have
so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, each Lender
shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest, for
each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for
such day.

        Section 2.11 Taxes.

        (a) No Deduction for Certain Taxes.  Any and all payments
by the Borrowers shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10,
free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding
(i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent,
taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by
the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any
political subdivision of the jurisdiction and (ii) any taxes
imposed by the United States of America by means of withholding
at the source if and to the extent that such taxes shall be in
effect and shall be applicable, on the Original Closing Date (or,
in the case of a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement
after the Original Closing Date, on the date such Lender becomes
a party to this Agreement), to payments to be made to such Lender
or the Administrative Agent (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes") and, in the case of each
Lender, Taxes by the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction.
If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions,
such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made; provided, however, that if a
Borrower's obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused
solely by such Lender's or Administrative Agent's failure to
provide the forms described in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.11
and such Lender or Administrative Agent could have provided such
forms, no such increase shall be required; (ii) such Borrower
shall make such deductions; and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

        (c) Indemnification.  Each Borrower indemnifies each Lender
and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or
Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 2.11) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) and any liability (including interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto (whether or
not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted), in either case, attributable to such Borrower.  Each
payment required to be made by a Borrower in respect of this
indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of any party claiming such indemnification within 30 days
from the date such Borrower receives written demand detailing the
calculation of such amounts therefor from Administrative Agent on
behalf of itself as Administrative Agent or any such Lender.  If
any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in
respect of any taxes paid by a Borrower under this paragraph (c),
such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall
promptly pay to such Borrower its share of such refund.

        (d) Evidence of Tax Payments.  Each Borrower will pay prior
to delinquency all Taxes payable in respect of any payment.
Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, such
Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment of such Taxes.

        (e) Foreign Lender Withholding Exemption.  Each Lender that
is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent on the Original Closing Date
or upon, the effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance
(i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the
case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to
it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes, (ii) if applicable, an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding
tax, and (iii) any other governmental forms which are necessary
or required under an applicable tax treaty or otherwise by law to
reduce or eliminate any withholding tax, which have been
reasonably requested by a Borrower.  Each Lender which delivers
to the Company and the Administrative Agent a Form 1001 or 4224
and Form W-8 or W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further
undertakes to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent
two further copies of Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or
successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as
the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires
or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered
by it to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by
the Company and the Administrative Agent certifying in the case
of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes.  If an event (including
without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has
occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the
preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Lender from
duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it
and such Lender advises the Company and the Administrative Agent
that it is not capable of receiving payments without any
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and
in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an exemption from
United States backup withholding tax, such Lender shall not be
required to deliver such forms.  Each Borrower shall withhold tax
at the rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United
States with respect to payments made to a Lender failing to
timely provide the requisite Internal Revenue Service forms and
shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to
paragraph (a) or indemnify a Lender pursuant to paragraph (c)
with respect to such withheld tax.

        (f) Repayment under Certain Circumstances.  If a Borrower
is required by any law or regulation to make any deduction or
withholding from any sum payable by it under this Agreement and
is prevented by law from fulfilling the related gross-up
obligation, upon written notice to such Borrower from the
Administrative Agent (which shall give such notice if, and only
if, so requested by any Lender) the relevant Advances shall be
repaid within 30 days of the date such notice is received by such
Borrower together with accrued interest and any amounts owing
under Section 2.08.

        (g) Mitigation.  Each Lender shall use its best efforts
(consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to select a jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending
Office or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid the imposition of any
Taxes or Other Taxes or to eliminate the amount of any such
additional amounts which may thereafter accrue; provided that no
such selection or change of the jurisdiction for its Applicable
Lending Office shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of
such Lender, such selection or change would be disadvantageous to
such Lender.

        Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender
shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of
the Advances made by it in excess of its Pro Rata Share,
Revolving Share, or Term Share, as applicable, of payments on
account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations obtained
by all the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent and forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Advances made by them or Letter of Credit
Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement with each of
them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and
such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price to the extent of such Lender's ratable share (according to
the proportion of (a) the amount of the participation sold by
such Lender to the purchasing Lender as a result of such excess
payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such
recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable
share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such
Lender's required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (b) the
total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing
Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless and until
rescinded as provided above, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor
of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

        Section 2.13 Lender Replacement.  If any Lender has
notified the Company and the Administrative Agent of its
incurring additional costs under Section 2.09 or has required the
Borrower to make payment for taxes under Section 2.11(a) (other
than payments in respect of Mexican Taxes), then the Company may,
unless such Lender has notified the Company and the
Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer apply or a Default exists, terminate, in whole
but not in part, the Revolving A Commitment or Revolving B
Commitment of any such Lender (other than the Administrative
Agent) (the "Terminated Lender") and repay the Advances of such
Lender at any time upon five Business Days prior written notice
to the Terminated Lender and the Administrative Agent (such
notice referred to herein as a "Notice of Termination").  In
order to effect the termination of the Revolving A Commitment and
Revolving B Commitment of the Terminated Lender and the repayment
of such Terminated Lender's Advances, the Company shall (i)
obtain an agreement with one or more other Lenders to increase
their Revolving A Commitments and Revolving B Commitments and
accept an assignment of the Terminated Lender's Advances or (ii)
request any one or more other Persons otherwise meeting the
requirements of Section 9.03(a) ("Eligible Assignees") to become
parties to this Agreement in place of such Terminated Lender and
agree to accept a Revolving A Commitment and Revolving B
Commitment in an aggregate amount or amounts equal to the
Revolving A Commitment and Revolving B Commitment held by the
Terminated Lender and accept an assignment of the Terminated
Lender's Advances and (iii) pay all amounts due to the Terminated
Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.09 and 2.11(a);
provided, however, that such one or more Eligible Assignees
selected by the Company must become parties by accepting an
Assignment and Acceptance (the Lenders or other Eligible
Assignees that agree to accept in whole or in part the Revolving
A Commitment and Revolving B Commitment of the Terminated Lender
and accept an assignment of the Terminated Lender's Advances
being referred to herein as the "Replacement Lenders"), such that
the aggregate increased or accepted Revolving A Commitments and
Revolving B Commitments of the Replacement Lenders and Advances
assigned to the Replacement Lenders under clauses (i) and (ii)
above equal to the Revolving A Commitment and Advances and
Revolving B Commitment and Advances of the Terminated Lender.
The Notice of Termination shall include the name of the
Terminated Lender, the date the termination will occur (the
"Termination Date"), and the Replacement Lender or Replacement
Lenders to which the Terminated Lender will assign its Revolving
A Commitment and Advances and Revolving B Commitment and Advances
and, if there will be more than one Replacement Lender, the
portion of the Terminated Lender's Revolving A Commitment and
Advances and Revolving B Commitment and Advances to be assigned
to each Replacement Lender.  On the Termination Date, (i) the
Terminated Lender shall by execution and delivery of an
Assignment and Acceptance assign its Revolving A Commitment and
Advances and Revolving B Commitment and Advances to the
Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (pro rata, if there is
more than one Replacement Lender, in proportion to the portion of
the Terminated Lender's Revolving A Commitment and Advances and
Revolving B Commitment and Advances to be assigned to each
Replacement Lender) indicated in the Notice of Termination and
shall assign to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders all
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, each of its Advances then outstanding and
participation interest in Letters of Credit (if any) then
outstanding pro rata at a price equal to the unpaid principal
amount thereon plus interest and fees accrued and unpaid to the
Termination Date, and (ii) the Replacement Lender or Replacement
Lenders will thereupon succeed to and be substitute in all
respects for the Terminated Lender with like effect as if
becoming a Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 9.03.  For
each assignment made under this Section 2.13 the Replacement
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
provided for in Section 9.03(b).  The Company shall be
responsible for payment of all breakage fees associated with
termination and Replacement Lenders, as set forth in Section
2.08.

        Section 2.14 Applicable Lending Offices.  Subject to
subsection 2.01, each Lender may book its Advances at any
Applicable Lending Office selected by such Lender and may change
its Applicable Lending Office from time to time.  All terms of
this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Office
and the Advances and Notes issues hereunder shall be deemed held
by each Lender for the benefit of such Applicable Lending Office.
Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent
and the Company designate replacement or additional Applicable
Lending Offices through which Advances will be made by it and for
whose account repayments are to be made.

        Section 2.15 Letters of Credit.

        (a) Issuance.  From time-to-time from the Original Closing
Date until 30 days before the Revolving A Maturity Date, at the
request of a Borrower, any Issuing Bank shall, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase, or extend the
expiration date of Letters of Credit for the account of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries on any Business Day.  No
Letter of Credit will be issued, increased, or extended:

                (i) if such issuance, increase, or extension would
        cause (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed (B) the
        lesser of (1) $75,000,000.00 and (2)(I) the aggregate
        Revolving A Commitments minus (II) the sum of the aggregate
        outstanding principal Amount of all Revolving A Advances and
        the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swingline
        Advances;

                (ii) unless such Letter of Credit, other than a
        Performance Letter of Credit, has an expiration date not
        later than the earlier of (A) one year after the date of
        issuance thereof and (B) five Business Days prior to the
        Revolving A Maturity Date; provided that, any such Letter of
        Credit with a one-year tenor may expressly provide that it
        is renewable at the option of such Issuing Bank for
        additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend
        beyond the Revolving A Maturity Date); provided that any
        Performance Letter of Credit may have an expiration date not
        later than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Revolving
        A Maturity Date;

                (iii) unless such Letter of Credit is (A) issued in a
        currency that is an Agreed Currency and (B) is otherwise in
        form and substance acceptable to such Issuing Bank;

                (iv) unless such Borrower has delivered to such Issuing
        Bank a completed and executed request for issuance of letter
        of credit in the form of the attached Exhibit L;

                (v) unless such Borrower or Issuing Bank has delivered
        notice of such request for and issuance of such Letter of
        Credit to the Administrative Agent; and

                (vi) unless such Letter of Credit is governed by the
        Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993
        Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No.
        500, the International Standby Practices (ISP98),
        International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, or
        any successor to such publication.  If the terms of any
        letter of credit application referred to in the foregoing
        clause (iv) conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the
        terms of this Agreement shall control.

        (b) Participations.  (i) On the Original Closing Date, the
Issuing Bank at such time shall be deemed to have sold to each
Lender having a Revolving A Commitment and each other Lender
having a Revolving A Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased
from such Issuing Bank a participation equal to such Lender's
Revolving A Share on such date in the Letter of Credit
Obligations with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit and
(ii) upon the date of the issuance or increase of a Letter of
Credit occurring on or after the Original Closing Date, such
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Lender
and each other Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased
from such Issuing Bank a participation in the related Letter of
Credit Obligations equal to such Lender's Revolving A Share at
such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Issuing Bank
shall promptly notify each such participant Lender by telex,
telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit issued or
increased and the actual dollar amount of such Lender's
participation in such Letter of Credit.

        (c) Reimbursement.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay on
demand to any Issuing Bank for the benefit of the Lenders in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued for its account an amount
equal to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under or in respect
of such Letter of Credit in the currency of such Letter of
Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, after the
issuance of a Letter of Credit in any Agreed Currency other than
Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in
the country which issues such currency with the result that the
type of currency in which the Letter of Credit was issued (the
"Original Currency") no longer exists or the Borrowers are not
able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be
made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency shall instead be
made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount
(as of the date of repayment) of such payment, it being the
intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks
of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange
regulations.  In the event any Issuing Bank makes a payment
pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit
and such payment is not promptly reimbursed by the relevant
Borrower upon demand, such Issuing Bank shall give notice of such
failure to pay to the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Lenders, and each Lender having a Revolving A Commitment shall
promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for such Lender's Revolving
A Share of the Dollar Amount of such payment, and such
reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement
to constitute a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances to such
Borrower from such Lender.  If such reimbursement is not made by
any Lender to such Issuing Bank on the same day on which such
Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draw, such
Lender shall pay interest thereon to such Issuing Bank at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Each
Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes,
empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
record and otherwise treat such payment under a Letter of Credit
not immediately reimbursed by the Borrowers as a Borrowing
comprised of Base Rate Advances.

        (d) Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of each
Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit
shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances:

                (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
        Letter of Credit Documents;

                (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
        departure from any Letter of Credit Documents;

                (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or
        other right which such Borrower may have at any time against
        any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or
        any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such
        transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, any Lender or
        any other person or entity, whether in connection with this
        Agreement, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement
        or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated
        transaction;

                (iv) any statement or any other document presented
        under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
        fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
        statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
        to the extent any Issuing Bank would not be liable therefor
        pursuant to the following paragraph (f);

                (v) payment by any Issuing Bank under such Letter of
        Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which
        does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

                (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
        whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
        provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph (d)
        shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any remedies of a
        Borrower in connection with the Letters of Credit.

        (e) Prepayments of Letters of Credit.  In the event that
any Letters of Credit shall be outstanding or shall be drawn and
not reimbursed after the applicable Revolving A Maturity Date,
the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal
to the Letter of Credit Exposure allocable to such Letters of
Credit and in the currency of such Letter of Credit to be held in
the Cash Collateral Account and applied in accordance with
paragraph (g) below.  If currency control or exchange regulations
are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the
result that the Original Currency no longer exists or the
Borrowers are not able to make payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency,
then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such
currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount
equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such
payment, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the
Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency
control or exchange regulations.

        (f) Liability of Issuing Bank.  Each Borrower assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of
Credit.  Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or
directors shall be liable or responsible for:

                (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit
        or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in
        connection therewith;

                (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of
        documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such
        documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
        insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

                (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank against presentation
        of documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter
        of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
        reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of
        Credit; or

                (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or
        failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit
        (including any Issuing Bank's own negligence),
        except that such Borrower shall have a claim against any Issuing
        Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to, and shall
        promptly pay to, such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as
        opposed to consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower which
        such Borrower proves were caused by (A) such Issuing Bank's
        willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether
        documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
        terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Bank's willful
        failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after
        the presentation to it of a draft and certificate strictly
        complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

                In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
any Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

        (g) Cash Collateral Account.

                (i) If a Borrower is required to deposit funds in the
        Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Sections 2.15(e),
        7.02(b) or 7.03(b), then such Borrower and the
        Administrative Agent shall establish the Cash Collateral
        Account and such Borrower shall execute any documents and
        agreements, including the Administrative Agent's standard
        form assignment of deposit accounts, that the Administrative
        Agent requests in connection therewith to establish the Cash
        Collateral Account and grant the Administrative Agent an
        Acceptable Security Interest in such account and the funds
        therein.  The Company hereby pledges to the Administrative
        Agent and grants the Administrative Agent a security
        interest in the Cash Collateral Account, whenever
        established, all funds held in the Cash Collateral Account
        from time to time, and all proceeds thereof as security for
        the payment of the Obligations.

                (ii) Funds held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
        held as cash collateral for obligations with respect to
        Letters of Credit and promptly applied by the Administrative
        Agent at the request of such Issuing Bank to any
        reimbursement or other obligations under Letters of Credit
        that exist or occur.  To the extent that any surplus funds
        are held in the Cash Collateral Account above the Letter of
        Credit Exposure during the existence of an Event of  Default
        the Administrative Agent may (A) hold such surplus funds in
        the Cash Collateral Account as cash collateral for the
        Obligations or (B) apply such surplus funds to any
        Obligations in any manner directed by the Majority Lenders.
        If no Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent
        shall release to the Company at the Company's written
        request any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account above
        the amounts required by Section 2.15(e) or otherwise.

                (iii) Funds held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
        invested in Liquid Investments maintained with, and under
        the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent
        or in another investment if mutually agreed upon by the
        Borrower and the Administrative Agent, but the
        Administrative Agent shall have no other obligation to make
        any other investment of the funds therein.  The
        Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the
        custody and preservation of any funds held in the Cash
        Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised
        such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially
        equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords
        its own property, it being understood that the
        Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for
        taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
        parties with respect to any such funds.

        (h) Determination of Dollar Amounts.  The Administrative
Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of the face amount of or
any drawing under each Letter of Credit denominated in a currency
other than Dollars on and as of the last Business Day of each
quarter and on any other Business Day elected by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the
Majority Lenders.  Each day upon or as of which the
Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in
the preceding sentence is herein described a "Computation Date"
with respect to each Letter of Credit for which a Dollar Amount
is determined on or as of such day.

the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation or formation and in good standing and

bylaws or (ii) any law or any contractual restriction binding on
or affecting such Loan Party which could reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Change, and (d) will not result in or
require the creation or imposition of any Lien prohibited by this
Agreement.  At the time of each Advance or the issuance,
extension or increase of each Letter of Credit, such Advance and
the use of the proceeds of such Advance or the issuance,
extension or increase of such Letter of Credit will be within the
applicable Borrower's corporate powers, will have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, will not contravene
(i) such Borrower's articles or certificate (as applicable) of
incorporation or other charter document or bylaws or (ii) any law
or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting such
Borrower which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change and will not result in or require the creation or
imposition of any Lien prohibited by this Agreement.

        Section 4.03 Authorization and Approvals.  No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or

the Notes, and the other Credit Documents to which the Company
and the other Loan Parties are a party have been duly executed

obligation of the Company and each such Loan Party and is
enforceable against the Company and each such Loan Party in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally
and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity).

        Section 4.05 Financial Statements.

        (a) The Company has delivered to the Administrative Agent
the Financial Statements, and the Financial Statements are
accurate and complete in all material respects and present fairly
the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of their

were no material Contingent Obligations, liabilities for taxes,
unusual forward or long-term commitments, or unrealized or
anticipated losses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
except as disclosed therein and adequate reserves for such items

        (b) Since December 31, 2001, no Material Adverse Change has

        Section 4.06 True and Complete Disclosure.  All factual
information (whether delivered before or after the Effective
Date) furnished by or on behalf of the Company and its
Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any
other Credit Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date
as of which such information is dated or certified and not
incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to
make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading at such
time.

        Section 4.07 Litigation.  There is no pending or
threatened action or proceeding affecting the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries before any court, Governmental Authority or
arbitrator, which could reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change or which purports to affect the legality,
validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement, any
Note, or any other Credit Document.  Additionally, there is no
pending or threatened action or proceeding instituted against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries which seeks to adjudicate the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries as bankrupt or insolvent, or
seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts
under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an
order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or
other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its
Property.

        Section 4.08 Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the
Advances will be used by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for
the purposes described in Section 5.08.  The Company and its
Subsidiaries are not engaged in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
the meaning of Regulation U).  No proceeds of any Advance will be
used to purchase or carry any margin stock in violation of
Regulation T, U or X.

        Section 4.09 Investment Company Act.  Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

        Section 4.10 Public Utility Holding Company Act.  Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a "holding company",
or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company"
of a "holding company", or a "public utility", as such terms are
used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended.

        Section 4.11 Taxes.  All federal, state, local and
foreign tax returns, reports and statements required to be filed
(after giving effect to any extension granted in the time for
filing) by the Company or any member of the Controlled Group
(hereafter collectively called the "Tax Group") have been filed
with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions
in which such returns, reports and statements are required to be
filed (except where any obligation to so file is being contested
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and after adequate
reserves have been provided therefor), and all taxes (which are
material in amount) and other impositions due and payable have
been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty,
interest, late charge or loss may be added thereto for non-
payment thereof except where contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings and after providing adequate reserves
therefor.  None of the Company nor any member of the Tax Group
has given, or been requested to give, a waiver of the statute of
limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local
or foreign taxes or other impositions which are material in
amount.  None of the Property owned by the Company or any other
member of the Tax Group is Property which the Company or any
member of the Tax Group is required to treat as being owned by
any other Person pursuant to the provisions of Section 168(f)(8)
of the Code.  Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by
the Company and all other members of the Tax Group from their
employees for all periods to comply in all material respects with
the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions
of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law.  Timely
payment of all material sales and use taxes required by
applicable law have been made by the Company and all other
members of the Tax Group.

        Section 4.12 Pension Plans.  No Termination Event has
occurred with respect to any Plan, and, except for any failure
that could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change, each Plan has complied with and been administered in all
material respects in accordance with applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code.  No "accumulated funding deficiency" (as
defined in Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any
Plan and there has been no excise tax imposed with respect to any
Plan under Section 4971 of the Code.  The present value of all
benefits vested under each Plan (based on the assumptions used to
fund such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date
applicable thereto, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan
allocable to such vested benefits in any amount that would
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  None
of the Company nor any member of the Controlled Group has had a
complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan for
which there is any unpaid withdrawal liability that could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  As of
the most recent valuation date applicable thereto, none of the
Company nor any member of the Controlled Group has received
notice that any Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in
reorganization.  Based upon GAAP existing as of the Effective
Date and current factual circumstances, the Company has no reason
to believe that the annual cost during the term of this Agreement
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for post-retirement
benefits to be provided to the current and former employees of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under welfare benefit
plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) could, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.

        Section 4.13 Condition of Property; Casualties.  The
material Properties used or to be used in the continuing
operations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are (a) in
substantially the same or better repair, working order, and
condition as such Properties were as of December 31, 2001, normal
wear and tear excepted and (b) in such repair, working order and
condition to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries to operate
such Properties in substantially the same or better manner as
operated as of December 31, 2001.  Since the Effective Date,
neither the business nor the material Properties of the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has been affected as a result of any
fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought, windstorm, accident,
strike or other labor disturbance, embargo, requisition or taking
of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions
by a Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces or
acts of God or of any public enemy, which effect would reasonably
be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        Section 4.14 Insurance.  The Company and its Subsidiaries
are insured by reputable insurers in respect of such of their
respective Properties, in such amounts and against such risks as
is customarily maintained by other Persons of similar size
engaged in similar businesses or, self-insure to the extent that
is customary for Persons of similar size engaged in similar
businesses.

        Section 4.15 No Burdensome Restrictions; No Defaults.

        (a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or
other agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or
corporate restriction or provision of applicable law or
governmental regulation which would reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change.  Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any
contract, agreement, lease or other instrument to which the
Company or such Subsidiary is a party and which would reasonably
be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of
default under any contract, agreement, lease or other instrument
to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party which is
continuing or which, if not cured, would reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        (b) No Default has occurred and is continuing.

        Section 4.16 Environmental Condition.  Except as
disclosed on the attached Schedule 4.16:

        (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have obtained all
material Environmental Permits necessary for the ownership and
operation of their respective material Properties and the conduct
of their respective businesses; (ii) have been and are in

notified of the designation, listing or identification of any
Property of the Company or any of its present or former
Subsidiaries as a potential site for removal, remediation,
cleanup, closure, restoration, reclamation, corrective action, or
other response activity under any Environmental Laws (except as
such activities may be required by permit conditions); (B) is
subject to a Lien, arising under or in connection with any
Environmental Laws, that attaches to any revenues or to any
Property owned or operated by the Company or any of its present
or former Subsidiaries, wherever located; or (C) has been the
site of any Release of Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Wastes
from present or past operations which has caused at the site or
at any third-party site any condition that has resulted in or
would reasonably be expected to result in the need for Response
that would cause a Material Adverse Change and (ii) none of the
Company or any of their present or former Subsidiaries has
generated or transported or has caused to be generated or
transported Hazardous Substances to any third party site which
would reasonably be expected to result in the need for Response
that would cause a Material Adverse Change.

        Section 4.17 Title to Property, Etc.

        (a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title in all its Property, except where the failure to
have such good and marketable title would not reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, and none of such
Property is subject to any Lien, except Permitted Liens.

        (b) Schedule 4.17 sets forth (i) all the Material Vessels
of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the Effective Date and
identifies the registered owner, flag, official or patent number

taken in all relevant jurisdictions.  Upon the filing of the
Security Documents referred to in this Section 4.18, on the
Effective Date each of the Security Documents creates, as
security for the Obligations purported to be secured thereby, a
valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and Lien on
all of the Collateral subject thereto, to the extent perfection
of a security interest or Lien is governed by Article 9 of the
UCC (as defined in the applicable Security Documents) and subject
to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No filings or recordings
are required in order to perfect the security interests created
under any Security Document except for filings or recordings
required in connection with any such Security Document which
shall have been made upon or prior to (or are the subject of
arrangements, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, for
filing on or promptly after the date of) the execution and
delivery thereof.

Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

Administrative Agent or successor Issuing Bank shall be a
commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least
$100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder by
a successor Administrative Agent or successor Issuing Bank, such
successor Administrative Agent or successor Issuing Bank shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the resigning.  Upon the
effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent or
Issuing Bank, the resigning Administrative Agent or resigning
Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the Credit Documents.  After the
effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent or
Issuing Bank, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue
in effect for the benefit of Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

        Section 8.13 Other Titles.  Neither the Syndication Agent
as listed on the cover page to this Agreement nor the
Documentation Agent as listed on the cover page to this Agreement
shall have any rights, obligations, or duties in such capacities
under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                                ARTICLE IX

             BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

        Section 9.01 Successors and Assigns.  The terms and
provisions of the Credit Documents shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns, except that (a) a Borrower
shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations
under the Credit Documents and (b) any assignment by any Lender
must be made in compliance with Section 9.03.  Notwithstanding
clause (b) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without
the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, assign
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its
Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such
assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release the transferor
Lender from its obligations hereunder.  The Administrative Agent
may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section
9.03 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any
other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with
the Administrative Agent.  Any assignee or transferee of a Note
agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of the Credit Documents.  Any request, authority, or
consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall
be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee,
or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in
exchange therefor.

        Section 9.02 Participations.

        (a) Permitted Participants; Effect.  Any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable
law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities
excluding entities classified by SIC code 1389 ("Participants")
participating interests in any Advances owing to such Lender, any
Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any
other interest of such Lender under the Credit Documents.  In the
event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to
a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Credit
Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such
Note for all purposes under the Credit Documents, all amounts
payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined
as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under the Credit Documents.

        (b) Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right
to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any
amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of the Credit
Documents other than any amendment, modification, or waiver which
effects any of the amendments, modifications or waivers
referenced in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 10.01.

        (c) Benefit of Setoff.  Each Borrower agree that each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided
in Section 7.05 in respect of its participating interest in
amounts owing under the Credit Documents to the same extent as if
the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to
it as a Lender under the Credit Documents; provided, that each
Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 7.05
with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to
each Participant; and provided further that such right of setoff
shall not be exercisable until five Business Days after the date
upon which the Company receives written notice of the fact that
such Participant is a Participant (it being understood that
neither the Administrative Agent, the Lender granting such
participation nor the Participant shall be obligated to give such
notice).  The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and
each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in
Section 7.05, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount
received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such
amounts to be shared as if each Participant were a Lender.

        Section 9.03 Assignments.

        (a) Permitted Assignments.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary
course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at
any time assign to one or more banks or other entities
("Purchasers") all or any part of its rights and obligations
under the Credit Documents; provided, however, that in the case
of an assignment to an entity which is not a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender, such assignment shall be in a minimum
amount of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000.00 and (ii) all of such
Lender's Commitments and Advances of the Class being assigned.
Subject to the minimum amount set forth in the preceding
sentence, any Lender making such an assignment may assign any
percentage of a Class of Advances and its Commitments related
thereto without respect to the percentage assigned, if any, of
any other Class of Advances and related Commitments.  A Lender
making an assignment shall also assign or cause such Lender's
affiliate, if any, who is a Swingline Bank to assign a portion of
such Swingline Bank's Swingline Advances to the assignee or an
appropriate affiliate of the assignee equal to the same portion
of the Revolving A Commitments and Revolving A Advances sold to
such Assignee.  No Swingline Bank may assign any portion of its
Swingline Advances unless it or its affiliate which has a
Revolving A Commitment assigns the same portion of such Lender's
Revolving A Commitments and Revolving A Advances to the Person or
an affiliate of the Person purchasing the assignment from such
Swingline Bank.  Such assignment shall be made pursuant to an
Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit A
or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto
("Assignment and Acceptance").  The consent of the Administrative
Agent and, so long as no Default is continuing, the Company shall
be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with
respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate
thereof.  Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        (b) Effect; Effective Date.  Upon (a) delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in
the form attached as Exhibit I to the Assignment and Acceptance
(a "Notice of Assignment"), together with any consents required
by Section 9.03(a) and (b) payment of a $3,500.00 fee to the
Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such
assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified
in such Notice of Assignment.  On and after the effective date of
such assignment, (i) such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a
Lender party to this Agreement and any other Credit Document
executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Lender under the Credit Documents, to the same
extent as if it were an original party hereto, and (ii) the
transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the
percentage of the Commitments and Advances assigned to such
Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrowers,
the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent.  Upon the consummation
of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section
9.03(b), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, and the
Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement
Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as
appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in
each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitments, as
adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

        Section 9.04 Dissemination of Information.  Each Borrower
authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or
Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Credit
Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's
possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

        Section 9.05 Tax Treatment.  If any interest in any
Credit Document is transferred to any Transferee which is
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall
cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of
such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 2.11.

                                ARTICLE X

                             MISCELLANEOUS

        Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Credit
Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrowers
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders and the
Borrowers, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders
and the Borrowers, do any of the following:  (a) increase the
Commitments of the Lenders, (b) reduce the principal of, or
interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (c) postpone any
date fixed for any scheduled payment or prepayment of principal
of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts
payable hereunder, (d) change the number of Lenders which shall
be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action
hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (e) amend Section
2.12 or this Section 10.01, (f) release any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guaranty, (g) release all or any
substantial portion of the Collateral, or (h) amend the
definition of "Majority Lenders"; and provided, further, that (i)
no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as
applicable, in addition to the Lenders required above to take
such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, under this Agreement or
any other Credit Document and (iii) no waiver of any of the
conditions specified in Article III shall be effective against
any Lender not executing such waiver.

        Section 10.01 Notices, Etc.  All notices and other
communications shall be in writing (including telecopy or telex)
and mailed, telecopied, telexed, hand delivered or delivered by a
nationally recognized overnight courier, if to the Company or any
other Borrower, at its address as set forth on Schedule 1; if to
any Lender, at its specified Applicable Lending Office specified
opposite its name on Schedule 1; if to the Administrative Agent
or the Issuing Banks, at their respective addresses for notices
set forth in Schedule 1; and if a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice
of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the
specified Applicable Lending Office of Administrative Agent and,
if different, the specified Applicable Lending Office for
Administrative Agent specified opposite its name on Schedule 1
or, as to each party, at such other address or teletransmission
number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to the other parties.  All such notices and communications shall,
when mailed, telecopied, telexed or hand delivered or delivered
by overnight courier be effective:  upon receipt, if mailed, when
telecopy transmission is completed, when confirmed by telex
answer-back or when delivered, respectively, except that notices
and communications to the Administrative Agent and any Issuing
Bank pursuant to Article II or VIII shall not be effective until
received by the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, as
applicable.

        Section 10.02 No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies
provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.

        Section 10.03 Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers agree to
pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank and reasonable
fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel for the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Credit Documents, (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank
and reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel
for the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in connection
with advising the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank with
respect to their respective rights and responsibilities under
this Agreement, and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
Lender and reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside
counsel for the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
Lender in connection with the enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement,
the Notes and the other Credit Documents.

        Section 10.04 Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, and when the
Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Lender, either
received a counterpart hereof executed by such Lender or been
notified by such Lender that such Lender has executed it and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their
respective successors and assigns, except that a Borrower shall
not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its duties
under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement without
the prior written consent of each Lender.

        Section 10.05 Indemnification.  EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS, THE ARRANGER, THE LENDERS AND
EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES
AND AGENTS FROM, AND DISCHARGE, RELEASE, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS
AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES TO WHICH ANY
OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT, INSOFAR AS SUCH LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR
DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF OR RESULT FROM (i) ANY ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE BY THE
COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY OF THE PROCEEDS OF ANY ADVANCE,
(ii) ANY BREACH BY A BORROWER OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, (iii) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER
PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING) RELATING
TO THE FOREGOING, OR (iv) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM OR REQUIREMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS CONCERNING OR RELATING TO THE PRESENT OR PREVIOUSLY
OWNED OR OPERATED PROPERTIES, OR THE OPERATIONS OR BUSINESS, OF THE COMPANY
OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND EACH BORROWER SHALL REIMBURSE THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS, THE ARRANGER, AND EACH
LENDER, AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, UPON DEMAND FOR ANY REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES
(INCLUDING LEGAL FEES) INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH INVESTIGATION,
LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING; AND EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH LOSSES,
LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, OR EXPENSE INCURRED BY REASON OF THE PERSON BEING
INDEMNIFIED'S OWN NEGLIGENCE, BUT EXCLUDING ANY SUCH LOSSES, LIABILITIES,
CLAIMS, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES INCURRED BY REASON OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD
FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED, OR IN THE CASE
OF CLAUSE (iv) ABOVE, CAUSED BY THE AFFIRMATIVE ACT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS, THE ARRANGER OR SUCH LENDER.

        Section 10.06 Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

        Section 10.07 Survival of Representations, Etc.  All
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or
made in writing by or on behalf of a Borrower in connection
herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Credit Documents, the making of the Advances
and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none
of which investigations shall diminish any Lender's right to rely
on such representations and warranties.  All obligations of the
Borrowers provided for in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11(c), and 10.06
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in
full of the Obligations.

        Section 10.08 Severability.  In case one or more
provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents  shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be
affected or impaired thereby.

        Section 10.09 Usury Not Intended.  It is the intent of the
Borrowers and each Lender in the execution and performance of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in
strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts
of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender including
such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United
States of America from time-to-time in effect.  In furtherance
thereof, the Lenders and the Borrowers stipulate and agree that
none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a
contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or
detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum
Rate and that for purposes hereof "interest" shall include the
aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such
laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this
Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved,
charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which
by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the
Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake
and each Lender receiving same shall credit the same on the
principal of its Notes (or if such Notes shall have been paid in
full, refund said excess to the Borrower).  In the event that the
maturity of the Notes are accelerated by reason of any election
of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under
this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or
permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes
interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess
interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such
acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited on the applicable Notes (or, if the applicable Notes
shall have been paid in full, refunded to the applicable Borrower
of such interest).  In determining whether or not the interest
paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the Borrowers and the Lenders shall to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate
and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated
term of the Notes all amounts considered to be interest under
applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or
reserved in connection with the Obligations.  The provisions of
this Section shall control over all other provisions of this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent
conflict herewith.

        Section 10.10 Judgment Currency.  If for the purposes of
obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum
due from a Borrower hereunder 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 main Chicago
office on the Business Day preceding that on which final,
non-appealable judgment is given.  The obligations of a Borrower
in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender
or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum
adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with
normal, reasonable 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 Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the
fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
such Lender 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 Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified
currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a
result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate
payment to such Lender under Section 2.12, such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such
excess to the Borrowers.

        Section 10.11 Forbearance Agreements.  The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that it is customary practice
in certain areas where the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct
business for customers of offshore construction companies such as
the Company and its Subsidiaries to require forbearance
agreements from such contractor's secured creditors.  The Lenders
authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to execute and
deliver such forbearance agreements in cases deemed appropriate
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion containing
such terms as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent.

        Section 10.12 Governing Law.  This Agreement and each of
the other Credit Documents (except as otherwise expressly set
forth therein) shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance
with the law of the state of New York.

        Section 10.13 Consent to Jurisdiction; Process Agent.

        (a) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN
CHICAGO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT
DOCUMENTS AND SUCH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH
COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO
THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR THAT
SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY A BORROWER
AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS OR ANY LENDER OR ANY
AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS OR ANY LENDER OR BY
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS OR ANY LENDER AGAINST A BORROWER
INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF,
RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A
COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

        (b) The Mexican Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints CT
Corporation System (the "Process Agent"), with an office on the
date hereof at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019, as its
agent to receive on behalf of it and its Properties service of
copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which
may be served in any such action or proceeding.  Such service may
be made by mailing by certified mail a copy of such process to
the Mexican Borrower in care of the Process Agent at the Process
Agent's above address, with a copy to the Mexican Borrower at its
address specified herein, and the Mexican Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept
such service on its behalf.  As an alternative method of service,
the Mexican Borrower also irrevocably consents to the service of
any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the
mailing by certified mail of copies of such process to it at its
address specified herein.  The Mexican Borrower agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on
the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

        Section 10.14 Waiver of Jury.  The Borrowers, each Issuing
Bank, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably
waive any and all right to trial by jury in respect of any legal
proceeding, directly or indirectly,  (Whether sounding in tort,
contract or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, any other Credit Document, any of the transactions
contemplated hereby, or the relationship established hereunder.

                             EXHIBIT A

                   FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

This Assignment Agreement (this "Assignment Agreement")
between ________________ (the "Assignor") and
_____________________ (the "Assignee") is dated as of _________.
The parties hereto agree as follows:

        1.  PRELIMINARY STATEMENT.  The Assignor is a party to a
Credit Agreement (which, as it may be amended, supplemented,
modified, renewed, or extended from time to time, is herein
called the "Credit Agreement") described in Item 1 of Schedule 1
attached hereto.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Credit Agreement.

        2.  ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION.  The Assignor hereby sells
and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases
and assumes from the Assignor, an interest in and to the
Assignor's rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement such
that after giving effect to such assignment the Assignee shall
have purchased pursuant to this Assignment Agreement the
percentage interests specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all
outstanding rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement
relating to the Advances, the Letters of Credit, and the other
Credit Documents.  The amounts of the Advances purchased by the
Assignee hereunder are set forth in Item 3 of Schedule 1.

        3.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The effective date of this Assignment
Agreement (the "Effective Date") shall be the later of the date
specified in Item 4 of Schedule 1 or two Business Days (or such
shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after a
Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit I
attached hereto has been delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Such Notice of Assignment must include any consents required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement.  In no event will this
Assignment Agreement become effective if the payments required to
be made by the Assignee to the Assignor on the Effective Date
under Section 4 hereof are not made on the proposed Effective
Date.  The Assignor will notify the Assignee of the proposed
Effective Date no later than the Business Day prior to the
proposed Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, (a) the
Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
the Credit Documents with respect to the rights and obligations
assigned to the Assignee hereunder, and (b) the Assignor shall
relinquish its rights and be released from its corresponding
obligations under the Credit Documents with respect to the rights
and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder.

        4.  PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS.  On and after the Effective Date,
the Assignee shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative
Agent all payments of principal, interest, and fees with respect
to the interest assigned hereby.  The Assignee shall advance
funds directly to the Administrative Agent with respect to all
Advances purchased by the Assignee hereunder and reimbursement
payments made on or after the Effective Date with respect to the
interests assigned hereby.  In consideration for the sale and
assignment of Advances hereunder, (i) on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, (ii) on such earlier date agreed to by
the Assignor and the Assignee, or (iii) on the date on which any
such outstanding Advance either becomes due (by acceleration or
otherwise) or is prepaid (the date as described in the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) being hereinafter referred to as the
"Payment Date"), the Assignee shall pay the Assignor an amount
equal to the principal amount of the portion of such Advances
assigned to the Assignee which is outstanding on the Payment
Date.  If the Assignor and the Assignee agree that the Payment
Date for such Advances shall be the Effective Date, they shall
agree to the interest rate applicable to the portion of such
Advances assigned hereunder for the period from the Effective
Date to the end of the existing Interest Period applicable to
such Advances (the "Agreed Interest Rate") and any interest
received by the Assignee in excess of the Agreed Interest Rate
shall be remitted to the Assignor.  In the event interest for the
period from the Effective Date to but not including the Payment
Date is not paid by the appropriate Borrower with respect to any
Advance sold by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder, the
Assignee shall pay to the Assignor interest for such period on
the portion of such Advance sold by the Assignor to the Assignee
hereunder at the applicable rate provided by the Credit
Agreement.  In the event a prepayment of any Advance which is
existing on the Payment Date and assigned by the Assignor to the
Assignee hereunder occurs after the Payment Date but before the
end of the Interest Period applicable to such Advance, the
Assignee shall remit to the Assignor the excess of the amount
paid under Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement with respect to
the portion of such Advance assigned to the Assignee hereunder
over the amount which would have been paid if such amount paid
under Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement was calculated based
on the Agreed Interest Rate.  The Assignee will also promptly
remit to the Assignor (x) any principal payments received from
the Administrative Agent with respect to any Advance prior to the
Payment Date and (y) any amounts of interest on Advances and fees
received from the Administrative Agent which relate to the
portion of the Advances assigned to the Assignee hereunder for
periods prior to the Payment Date and not previously paid by the
Assignee to the Assignor.  In the event that either party hereto
receives any payment to which the other party hereto is entitled
under this Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such
amount shall promptly remit it to the other party hereto.

        5.  REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ASSIGNOR; LIMITATIONS ON THE
ASSIGNOR'S LIABILITY.  The Assignor represents and warrants that
it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interests being
assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear
of any adverse claim created by the Assignor.  It is understood
and agreed that the assignment and assumption hereunder are made
without recourse to the Assignor and that the Assignor makes no
other representation or warranty of any kind to the Assignee.
Neither the Assignor nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents or attorneys shall be responsible for (a) the
due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or collectibility of any Credit Document, (b) any
representation, warranty, or statement made in or in connection
with any of the Credit Documents, (c) the financial condition or
creditworthiness of any Borrower or any Guarantor, (d) the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms or provisions
of any of the Credit Documents, (e) inspecting any of the
Property, books, or records of any Borrower or any Guarantor, (f)
the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority, condition,
value, or sufficiency of any collateral securing or purporting to
secure the Advances or the Letters of Credit, or (g) any mistake,
error of judgment, or action taken or omitted to be taken in
connection with the Advances, the Letters of Credit, or the
Credit Documents.

        6.  REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ASSIGNEE.  The Assignee (a)
confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements requested by the
Assignee and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Assignment Agreement, (b) agrees that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Assignor, or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under the Credit Documents, (c) appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto,
(d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms
all of the obligations which the terms of the Credit Documents
require it to perform as a Lender, (e) agrees that its payment
instructions and notice instructions are as set forth in the
attachment to Schedule 1, and (f) confirms that none of the
funds, monies, assets, or other consideration being used to make
the purchase and assumption hereunder are "plan assets" as
defined under ERISA and that its rights, benefits, and interests
in and under the Credit Documents will not be "plan assets" under
ERISA.

        7.  INDEMNITY.  The Assignee agrees to indemnify and hold
the Assignor harmless against any and all losses, costs, and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees) and liabilities incurred by the Assignor in connection with
or arising in any manner from the Assignee's non-performance of
the obligations assumed under this Assignment Agreement.  The
obligations of the Assignee under this Section 7 shall survive
the payment of all amounts hereunder and the termination of this
Agreement.

        8.  SUBSEQUENT ASSIGNMENTS.  After the Effective Date, the
Assignee shall have the right pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement to assign the rights which
are assigned to the Assignee hereunder to any entity or person;
provided, that (a) any such subsequent assignment does not
violate any of the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents
or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction,
or decree and that any consent required under the terms of the
Credit Documents has been obtained, and (b) unless the prior
written consent of the Assignor is obtained, the Assignee is not
thereby released from its obligations to the Assignor hereunder,
if any remain unsatisfied, including, without limitation, its
obligations under Sections 4, 6, and 7 hereof.

        9.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Assignment Agreement and the
attached Notice of Assignment embody the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties hereto and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating
to the subject matter hereof.

        10.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
PROVISIONS, OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO
FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

        11.  NOTICES.  Notices shall be given under this Assignment
Agreement in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.  For
the purpose hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until
notice of a change is delivered) shall be the address set forth

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Assignment Agreement by their duly authorized officers as of the

From:  	______________________ (the "Assignor")
        ______________________ (the "Assignee")

        1.  We refer to the Credit Agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") described in Item 1 of Schedule 1 attached hereto.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein or
in such consent shall have the meanings attributed to them in the
Credit Agreement.

        2.  This Notice of Assignment (this "Notice") is given
and delivered to the Borrower and the Agent pursuant to Section
9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement.

        3.  The Assignor and the Assignee have entered into an
Assignment Agreement, dated as of __________ (the "Assignment"),
pursuant to which, among other things, the Assignor has sold,
assigned, delegated, and transferred to the Assignee, and the
Assignee has purchased, accepted, and assumed from the Assignor
the percentage interests specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all
outstandings, rights, and obligations under the Credit Agreement
relating to the facilities listed in Item 3 of Schedule 1.  The
effective date of the Assignment (the "Effective Date") shall be
the later of the date specified in Item 4 of Schedule 1 or two
Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the
Administrative Agent) after this Notice and any consents and fees
required by Sections 9.03(a) and 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement
have been delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that
the Effective Date shall not occur if any condition precedent
agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee has not been
satisfied.

        4. The Assignor and the Assignee hereby give to the
Borrower(s) and the Administrative Agent notice of the assignment
and delegation referred to herein.  The Assignor will confer with
the Administrative Agent before the date specified in Item 4 of
Schedule 1 to determine if the Assignment Agreement will become
effective on such date pursuant to Section 3 hereof and will
confer with the Administrative Agent to determine the Effective
Date pursuant to Section 3 hereof if it occurs thereafter.  The

does not become effective on any proposed Effective Date as a
result of the failure to satisfy the conditions precedent agreed
to by the Assignor and the Assignee.  At the request of the
Administrative Agent, the Assignor will give the Administrative
Agent written confirmation of the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent.

        5. The Assignor and the Assignee request and direct

                             EXHIBIT C

                          FORM OF GUARANTY

        This Guaranty dated as of [____________, _____] ("Guaranty")
is among the entities named on the signature pages hereto  (each
a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors"), in favor of
Bank One, NA, as administrative agent ("Secured Party") for the
Credit Parties (as defined below).

                            INTRODUCTION

        A. Global Industries, Ltd., a Louisiana corporation (the
"Parent Borrower"), and Global Offshore Mexico, S. de R.L. de
C.V., a Mexican sociedad de responsabilidad limitada de capital
variable (the "Mexican Borrower" and, together with the Parent
Borrower, the "Borrowers"), have entered into a Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April ___, 2002 (as
amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time,
the "Credit Agreement, " the defined terms of which are used in
this Guaranty unless otherwise defined herein) together with the
lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), and Bank One, NA, as
administrative agent ("Administrative Agent") for the Lenders,
providing for the making of Advances by the Lenders and the
Swingline Bank, and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the
Issuing Bank.

        B. The Parent Borrower may from time to time enter into
one or more Rate Hedging Agreements with a Lender or an affiliate
of a Lender (any such Lender or affiliate party to a Rate Hedging
Agreement being referred to herein as a "Swap Counterparty," and
together with the Secured Party, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Swingline Bank, collectively
referred to herein as the "Credit Parties").

        C. [The Parent Borrower is the principal financing entity
for all capital requirements of its Subsidiaries, and from time
to time the Parent Borrower has made capital contributions and
advances to its Subsidiaries, including the Guarantors.  Each of
the Guarantors is a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of
the Parent Borrower and will derive substantial direct or
indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit
Agreement.]

        D. [The Mexican Borrower is the principal financing entity
for all capital requirements of the Guarantors, and from time to
time the Mexican Borrower has made advances to the Guarantors.
Each of the Guarantors will derive substantial direct or indirect
benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit
Agreement.]

        E. Under the Credit Agreement, it is a condition to the
making of the Advances by the Lenders, the issuance of the
Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, and the entering into of
Rate Hedging Agreements by the Swap Counterparties, that each of
the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

        Therefore, in order to induce the Lenders to make the
Advances, the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, and the
Swap Counterparties to enter into Rate Hedging Agreements, each
of the Guarantors hereby agrees with Secured Party for its
benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Credit Parties as
follows:

Section 1.  Guaranty.  Each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual
payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all Obligations of [the [Parent] [Mexican]
Borrower] [any guarantors of the foregoing Obligations]  now or
hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and any
other Credit Document, whether for principal, Reimbursement
Obligations, Rate Hedging Obligations owing to any Swap
Counterparty, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or
otherwise (all such obligations being the "Guaranteed
Obligations"), and any and all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other
Credit Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts which
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations even if such
Guaranteed Obligations are declared unenforceable or not
allowable in a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding
involving [the [Parent] [Mexican] Borrower] [such guarantor of
such forgoing Obligations].  This Guaranty is a guarantee of
payment, not of collection, and the Guarantors are primarily
liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 2.  [Limit of Liability.  Each of the Guarantors shall be
liable under this Guaranty only to the extent of the greater of
(i) the "reasonably equivalent value" or "fair consideration" (or
equivalent concept) received by each such Guarantor in exchange
for the obligation incurred hereunder, within the meaning of any
applicable state or federal fraudulent conveyance or transfer
laws, (ii) the lesser of (A) the maximum amount that will not
render such Guarantor insolvent and (B) the maximum amount that
will not leave such Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital
(with clauses (A) and (B) being determined pursuant to and as of
the appropriate date mandated by such applicable state or federal
fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws, and (iii) the largest
amount that would not render such Guarantor's obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state
law.]

Section 3.  Guaranty Absolute.  Each of the Guarantors guarantees
that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other
Credit Documents, regardless of any law, regulation, or order now
or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Credit Party
with respect thereto.  The obligations of each Guarantor under
this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and
are joint and several with any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations in each and every particular, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower,
any Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any other Person regardless of whether any other Borrower, any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any other Person is joined in any such action or
actions.  The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

        (a) The unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any Credit Document (other than this Guaranty against such
Guarantor) for any reason whatsoever, including that the act of
creating the Guaranteed Obligations is ultra vires, that the
officers or representatives executing the documents creating the
Guaranteed Obligations exceeded their authority, that the
Guaranteed Obligations violate usury or other laws, or that the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower has defenses to the payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations, including breach of warranty, statute of
frauds, bankruptcy, statute of limitations, lender liability, or
accord and satisfaction;

        (b) Any change in the time, manner, or place of
payment of, or in any term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
any increase, reduction, extension, or rearrangement of the
Guaranteed Obligations, any amendment, supplement, or other
modification of the Credit Documents, or any waiver or consent
granted under the Credit Documents, including waivers of the
payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

        (c) Any release, exchange, subordination, waste, or
other impairment (including negligent, willful, unreasonable, or
unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral securing payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations; the failure of the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, any other
Credit Party or any other person to exercise diligence or
reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement,
sale, or other handling of such collateral; the fact that any
security interest, lien, or assignment related to any collateral
for the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected,
or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other
security interest, lien, or assignment;

        (d) Any full or partial release of the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other person
liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
the full or partial release of such Guarantor);

        (e) The failure to apply or the manner of applying
payments of the proceeds of collateral against the Guaranteed
Obligations;

        (f) Any change in the organization or structure of the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other person
liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; any change
in the shareholders, directors, or officers of the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower or any other person liable for the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; or the insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation, or dissolution of the [Parent][Mexican]
Borrower or any other person liable for the payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations;

        (g) The failure to give notice of any extension of
credit made by the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Credit Party to the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower, notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty, notice of any amendment, supplement, or other
modification of any Credit Document, notice of the execution of
any document or agreement creating new Guaranteed Obligations,
notice of any default or event of default, however denominated,
under the Credit Documents, notice of intent to demand, notice of
demand, notice of presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment,
notice of intent to protest, notice of protest, notice of grace,
notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, notice of bringing of suit, notice of the Secured
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any other Credit Party's transfer of the Guaranteed Obligations,
notice of the financial condition of or other circumstances
regarding the [Parent][Mexican] Borrower or any other Obligor, or
any other notice of any kind relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations;

        (h) Any payment or grant of collateral by any Obligor
to the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank,
any Lender or any other Credit Party being held to constitute a
preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason the Secured
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any other Credit Party is required to refund such payment or
release such collateral;

        (i) Any other action taken or omitted which affects
the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not such action or
omission prejudices any Guarantor or increases the likelihood
that any Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed
Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof;

        (j) The fact that all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations cease to exist by operation of law, including,
without limitation, by way of discharge, limitation or tolling
thereof under applicable bankruptcy laws; and

        (k) Any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower or any Guarantor (other than the
discharge of such Guarantor).

Section 4.  Certain Waivers.

        4.01 Notice and Other Remedies.  Each of the Guarantors
hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice
of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this
Guaranty and any requirement that the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other
Credit Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security
interest or other Lien or any Property subject thereto or exhaust
any right to take any action against the [Parent][Mexican]
Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.

        4.02 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution.

        (a)  Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations are
irrevocably paid in full, each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably
waives any claim or other rights which it may acquire against the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower or any other guarantor of the
Guaranteed Obligations that arise from such Guarantor's
Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty or any other Credit
Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation
(including, without limitation, any statutory rights of
subrogation under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
' 509), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, or any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Credit Party against the
[Parent][Mexican] Borrower or any collateral which the Secured
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any other Credit Party now has or acquires.  If any amount shall
be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence
and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders
and any other Credit Parties, and shall promptly be paid to the
Secured Party for the benefit of the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and any other
Credit Parties to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, as the Secured Party may elect.
Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that it will receive direct
and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 4.02(a) is knowingly made in contemplation
of such benefits.

        (b) Each of the Guarantors agrees that, to the extent
that the [Parent][Mexican] Borrower makes payments to the Secured
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any other Credit Party, or the Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Credit Party
receives any proceeds of collateral, and such payments or
proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or
otherwise required to be repaid, then to the extent of such
repayment the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and
continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial
payment or collection of proceeds occurred.  EACH OF THE
GUARANTORS SHALL INDEMNIFY THE SECURED PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, THE LENDERS, AND ANY OTHER CREDIT
PARTIES AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM, AND DISCHARGE,
RELEASE, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL

        (a) Business Existence.  Each of the Guarantors is
duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and in good standing
and qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where its
ownership or lease of Property or conduct of its business
requires such qualification and where a failure to be qualified

        (b) Corporate Power.  The execution, delivery, and
performance by each of the Guarantors of this Guaranty and the
other Credit Documents to which it is a party and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby

        (d) Enforceable Obligations.  This Guaranty and the
other Credit Documents to which the Guarantor is a party have

Document to which the Guarantors are a party is the legal, valid,
and binding obligation of each of the Guarantors and is
enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or
similar law affecting creditors' rights generally.

Section 6.  Covenants.

        (a) Each of the Guarantors will comply with all
provisions of Articles V and VI of the Credit Agreement to the
extent such Sections are applicable to such Guarantor.

        (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent wishes
to enforce the guarantee contained in Section 1 hereof against a
Guarantor, it shall make written demand for payment from such
Guarantor, provided that no such demand shall be required if such
Guarantor is in bankruptcy, liquidation, or other insolvency
proceedings, and provided that failure by the Administrative
Agent to make such demand shall not affect any Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty.

        (c) All indebtedness of any Guarantor (hereinafter in
this section, "such Guarantor") to another Guarantor or the
Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subordinated
to all indebtedness of such Guarantor to the Agent and the
Lenders under the Credit Agreement (the "Senior Indebtedness"),
as follows:

                (i) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings, or any receivership liquidation, reorganization, or
other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to
such Guarantor, or to its property, or in the event of any
proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution, or other
winding up of such Guarantor, whether or not involving insolvency
or bankruptcy, then the holders of the Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
before any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall receive any payment on account of principal or
interest due such Person from such Guarantor;

                (ii) After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, such Guarantor shall not
exercise or attempt to exercise any right of offset or
counterclaim in respect of any of its obligations to any other
Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries if
the effect thereof shall be to reduce the amount of any payment
to which the holders of Senior Indebtedness would be entitled in
the absence of such offset or counterclaim; and if and to the
extent that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Guarantor is
required by any mandatory provisions of law to exercise any such
right of offset or counterclaim, each reduction of the amount
owing on the account of the principal of or premium (if any) or
interest owed to any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries by reason of such offset or counterclaim
shall be deemed to be a payment by such Guarantor in a like
amount in respect of such amounts which clause (iv) below shall
apply;

                (iii) Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, (A) payment of the principal
or interest upon any indebtedness owed to any other Guarantor or
the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be made
thereunder until payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness has
been made and (B) the holders of the Senior Indebtedness shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
prior to the entitlement of any other Guarantor or the Parent
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to receive any payment of the
principal or interest (except for payments which have been made
prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default);

                (iv) If, notwithstanding the provisions of the
foregoing subparagraphs (i) through (iii), any payment or
distribution on any indebtedness shall be received by any other
Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries while
an Event of Default exists and before the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness shall have received payment in full on all Senior
Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be (and shall be
deemed to be) held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid
over or delivered or transferred to, the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness held by such holder to the extent necessary to
satisfy such Senior Indebtedness; and

                (v) No present or future holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce
subordination of any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries by any act or failure to act on the part
of such Guarantor whether or not such act or failure shall give
rise to any right of rescission or other claim or cause of action
on the part of any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries.  The provisions of the foregoing paragraphs
with respect to subordination are solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness on the one hand, and any other Guarantor or the
Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on the other hand, and
none of such provisions shall impair, as between such Guarantor
and any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, the obligation of such Guarantor, which is
unconditional and absolute, to pay to any other Guarantor or the
Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries the principal and
interest of any indebtedness in accordance with its terms, nor
shall anything in such provisions prevent any other Guarantor or
the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries  from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder
upon default hereunder, subject to the rights of holders of
Senior Indebtedness under such provisions.

Section 7.  Miscellaneous.

in writing and signed by the Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Majority Lenders and the [Parent][Mexican] Borrower;
provided that any amendment or waiver releasing any Guarantor

Parties and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only

given.

        7.02 Addresses for Notices.  All notices and other

Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any
Lender or any other Credit Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

        7.04 Right of Set-Off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Default and (b) the making of the request
or the granting of the consent, if any, specified by Section 7.02
of the Credit Agreement to authorize the Administrative Agent to
declare the Notes and any other amounts payable under the Credit
Agreement due and payable pursuant to the provisions of such
Section 7.02 or the automatic acceleration of the Notes and all
amounts payable under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section
7.03 thereunder, the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, each Lender and each other Credit Party is hereby
authorized at any time, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
to set off and apply any deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) and other indebtedness owing by the
Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, such
Lender, or such other Credit Party to the accounts of the
Guarantors against any and all of the obligations of the
Guarantors under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not
the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank,
such Lender or such other Credit Party shall have made any demand
under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be
contingent and unmatured.  The Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each other Credit Party
agrees promptly to notify the Guarantors after any such set-off
and application made by the Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender or such other Credit Party
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the
Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the
Lenders and the other Credit Parties under this Section 7.04 are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the other
Credit Parties may have.

        7.05 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under Credit
Agreement.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall
(a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) be binding upon the
Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, (c) inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each of the Lenders and
each of the other Credit Parties and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns, and (d) not be terminated by any
Guarantor or any other Person.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing clause (c), the Issuing Bank, any Lender and any
other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of its rights and Guaranteed Obligations under the Credit
Documents in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the
assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to the Issuing Bank, such Lender or such
other Credit Party herein or otherwise.  Upon the indefeasible
payment in full and termination of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the guaranty granted hereby shall terminate and all rights
hereunder shall revert to the Guarantor to the extent such rights
have not been applied pursuant to the terms hereof.  Upon any
such termination, the Secured Party will, at each Guarantor's
expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as
such Guarantor shall reasonably request and take any other
actions reasonably requested to evidence or effect such
termination. This Guaranty is not assignable by any Guarantor
without the written consent of all of the Credit Parties.

        7.06 Judgment Currency.  If for the purposes of obtaining
judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a
Guarantor hereunder 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 Secured
Party could purchase the specified currency with such other
currency at the Secured Party's main Chicago office on the
Business Day preceding the day on which final, non-appealable
judgment is given.  The obligations of a Guarantor in respect of
any sum due to the Secured Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Secured Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in
such other currency the Secured Party may in accordance with
normal, reasonable 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 the Secured Party in the specified currency, such
Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively
do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Secured Party against such loss, and
if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a)
the sum originally due to the Secured Party in the specified
currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a
result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate
payment to such Lender under Section 2.12 of the Credit
Agreement, the Secured Party agrees to remit such excess to such
Guarantor.

        7.07 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

                (a) This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York, except to the extent provided in Section 7.07(b) hereof and
to the extent that the federal laws of the United States of
America may otherwise apply.

                (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.07(a) hereof
to the contrary, nothing in this Guaranty shall be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any rights which the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any of the Lenders or any
of the other Credit Parties may have under the National Bank Act
or other federal law, including without limitation the right to
charge interest at the rate permitted by the laws of the state
where the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, the applicable Lender or any other applicable Credit Party
is located.

                (c) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS

AGENT TO ACCEPT SUCH SERVICE ON ITS BEHALF.  AS AN ALTERNATIVE
METHOD OF SERVICE, EACH GUARANTOR ALSO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED MAIL OF COPIES OF SUCH
PROCESS TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 7.02
HEREOF.  EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN
OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

                (e) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES

by assignment or are released by the holders thereof upon
payment.

occupying or present on the Collateral, in connection with the
handling, use, generation, manufacture, treatment, removal,

thereof, other than Permitted Liens.

        (a) The Mortgagee may notify any and all Tenants to pay
all Rentals due thereafter directly to the Mortgagee at the
address set forth in the Mortgagee's notice to such Tenants.
The Mortgagor irrevocably agrees that all such Tenants shall
be authorized to pay the Rentals directly to the Mortgagee
without liability of such Tenants for the determination of
the actual existence of any default by the Mortgagor claimed
by the Mortgagee. Tenants shall be expressly relieved of any
and all duty, liability and obligation to the Mortgagor in
connection with any and all Rentals so paid.

        (b) The Mortgagee may enter upon and take possession
of the Mortgaged Property, to manage and operate the Mortgaged
Property and the Mortgagor's business on the Mortgaged
Property, and take possession of and use all books of
account and financial records of the Mortgagor and its
property managers or representatives, if any, relating to
the Mortgaged Property.

        (c) The Mortgagee may alter, modify, amend, terminate
or permit the surrender of any or all Leases, and the Mortgagee
may execute new Leases of any part of the Mortgaged
Property, including Leases that extend beyond the maturity
date of the Notes.

The enforcement of any and all such rights available to the
Mortgagee hereunder shall continue for so long as the Mortgagee
shall elect, notwithstanding that the collection and application
of the Rentals may have cured the original default. Following the
exercise of any of the foregoing rights, the Mortgagee may, at
its sole option, through written notice to the Mortgagor, permit
the Mortgagor to re-enter and take possession of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof and to perform all acts necessary
for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property,
including the right to collect the Rentals, but the Mortgagee
shall nevertheless have the right, effective upon written notice,
to demand, sue for possession of and collect the Rentals under
the Leases and otherwise exercise its rights under this Mortgage
again.

        Section 5.4. Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Mortgagee may exercise all rights of a secured party under
the UCC and other applicable law (including the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in another applicable jurisdiction)
and, in addition, the Mortgagee may, without being required to
give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required
by mandatory provisions of law, sell the Collateral and the
Proceeds or any part thereof at public or private sale, for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices
as the Mortgagee may deem satisfactory. The Mortgagee may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Collateral and Proceeds so sold at
any public sale (or, if the Collateral and Proceeds is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is
the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at
any private sale). The Mortgagor will execute and deliver such
documents and take such other action as the Mortgagee deems
necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in
compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Mortgagee shall have
the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser
thereof the Collateral and Proceeds so sold. Each purchaser at
any such sale shall hold the Collateral and Proceeds so sold to
it absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever
kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the
Mortgagor which may be waived, and the Mortgagor, to the extent
permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay of appraisal which it has or may have under any
law now existing or hereafter adopted. The Mortgagor agrees that
ten (10) days' prior written notice of the time and place of any
sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral and
Proceeds constitutes " reasonable notification" within the
meaning of Section 9-504(3) of the UCC, except that shorter or no
notice shall be reasonable as to any Collateral and Proceeds
which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or
is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. The notice
(if any) of such sale shall (a) in case of a public sale, state
the time and place fixed for such sale, and (b) in the case of a
private sale, state the day after which such sale may be
consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or
times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places
as the Mortgagee may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such
sale the Collateral and Proceeds may be sold in one lot as an
entirety or in separate parcels or portions, as the Mortgagee may
determine. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to make any such
sale pursuant to any such notice. The Mortgagee may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or
cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be
made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned.
In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral and
Proceeds on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral or
Proceeds so sold may be retained by the Mortgagee until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Mortgagee
shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such
purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral and Proceeds so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral and
Proceeds may again be sold upon like notice.

        Section 5.5. Assemble Collateral. For the purpose of
enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this Agreement the
Mortgagee may (a) require the Mortgagor to, and the Mortgagor
agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the
Mortgagee, forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral
and Proceeds as directed by the Mortgagee and make it available
at a place designated by the Mortgagee which is, in its opinion,
reasonably convenient to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor, whether
at the Premises of the Mortgagor or otherwise, and Mortgagee
shall be entitled to specific performance of this obligation, (b)
to the extent permitted by applicable law of this or any other
state, enter, with or without process of law and without breach
of the peace, any premise where any of the Collateral or Proceeds
is or may be located, and without charge or liability to it seize
and remove such Collateral or Proceeds from such premises, (c)
have access to and use the Mortgagor's books and records relating
to the Collateral and Proceeds and (d) prior to the disposition
of the Collateral and Proceeds, store or transfer it without
charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility
owned or leased by the Mortgagor, process, repair or recondition
it or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to
the extent the Mortgagee deems appropriate and, in connection
with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any
trademark, trade name, copyright, patent or technical process
used by the Mortgagor.

        Section 5.6. Limitation on Duty of Mortgagee. Beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Mortgagee
shall have no duty as to any Collateral or Proceeds in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any
agent or bailee or any income thereon. The Mortgagee shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the
Collateral and Proceeds in its possession if the Collateral and
Proceeds is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
it accords its own property, and shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral or
Proceeds, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason
of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding
agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the
Mortgagee in good faith. The Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgagee
shall not be obligated to preserve rights against prior parties
obligated on any instruments.

        Section 5.7. Appointment of Agent. At any time or times,
in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction,
the Mortgagee may appoint a bank or trust company or one or more
other Persons with such power and authority as may be necessary
for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be
specified in the instrument of appointment.

        Section 5.8. Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Mortgagee and each Credit Party shall have the right
to set-off any funds of the Mortgagor in the possession of the
Mortgagee or a Credit Party against any amounts then due by the
Mortgagor or any Borrower pursuant to this Mortgage or any other
Credit Document.

        Section 5.9. Confession of Judgment. For purposes of
foreclosure under Louisiana executory process procedures,
Mortgagor hereby acknowledges the Indebtedness and confesses
judgment in favor of Mortgagee for the full amount of the
Indebtedness.

        Section 5.10. Attorney Fees and Expenses. In case the Notes
are placed in the hands of an attorney at law for the filing of
foreclosure proceedings, to protect the rights of Mortgagee or to
enforce any of the agreements contained in this Mortgage,
Mortgagor will pay all costs of collection, including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection
with the protection of or realization of collateral or in
connection with any of Mortgagee's collection efforts, whether or
not suit on the Note or any foreclosure proceedings is filed. All
insurance expenses and all expenses of protecting, storing,
warehousing, appraising, preparing for sale, handling,
maintaining and shipping the Collateral, all expenses in respect
of periodic appraisals and inspections of the Collateral to the
extent the same may be requested from time to time, and all
expenses in respect of the sale or other disposition thereof
shall be borne and paid by the Mortgagor; and if the Mortgagor
fails to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, the Mortgagee
may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same
and charge the Mortgagor's account therefor, and the Mortgagor
agrees to reimburse the Mortgagee therefor on demand. The
Mortgagor further agrees that the Indebtedness shall be increased
by the amount of said costs and fees.

        Section 5.11. Renewal and Extension.  The Mortgagee, without
notice, may release any part of the Collateral, or any person
liable on the Indebtedness, without in any way affecting the Lien
hereof upon any portion of the Collateral not expressly released,
and may agree with any party obligated on the Indebtedness, or
having any interest in the Collateral, to renew and extend the
time or manner of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness.
Such agreement shall not in any way release or impair the Lien
hereof, but shall renew and extend the Lien hereof against the
Collateral without altering or affecting the priority of the Lien
created by this Mortgage in favor of any junior encumbrancer,
mortgagee, or purchaser, or any person acquiring an interest in
the Collateral, and this Mortgage shall remain first and superior
to any Liens that may be placed thereon, or that may be fixed,
given or imposed by law thereon after the execution of this
instrument notwithstanding any such extension of the time of
payment, or the release of a portion of said property from this
Lien.

        Section 5.12. Advances by Mortgagee. The Mortgagor authorizes
the Mortgagee in the Mortgagee's discretion to advance any sums
necessary for the purpose of paying (a) insurance premiums, (b)
any and all excise, property, sales, use and other taxes, forced
contributions, service charges, local assessments and
governmental charges on any of the Collateral, (c) any Liens
affecting the Collateral (whether superior or subordinate to the
lien of this Mortgage) not permitted by this Mortgage, (d)
necessary repairs and maintenance expenses, or (e) any other
amounts which the Mortgagee deems necessary and appropriate to
preserve the validity and ranking of this Mortgage, to cure any
Defaults or to prevent the occurrence of any Default
(collectively, the "Advances") of whatever kind; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as
making such Advances obligatory upon Mortgagee, or as making
Mortgagee liable for any loss, damage, or injury resulting from
the nonpayment thereof. The Mortgagor covenants and agrees that
within five (5) days after demand therefor by the Mortgagee, the
Mortgagor will repay the Advances to Mortgagee, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, and in addition will repay
any other reasonable costs, attorneys' fees and expenses, charges
and expenses of any and every kind for the full protection and
preservation of the Collateral or this Mortgage, including
payments required in respect to any Lien affecting the
Collateral, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.
All such Advances and amounts (including interest) shall be
included in the Indebtedness secured hereby (subject to the
maximum amount of the Indebtedness set forth above in this
Mortgage).

        Section 5.13. Keeper. In the event the Collateral, or
any part thereof, is seized as an incident to an action for the
recognition or enforcement of this Mortgage by executory process,
ordinary process, sequestration, writ of fieri facias or
otherwise, the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee agree that the court
issuing any such order shall, if petitioned for by Mortgagee,
direct the applicable sheriff to appoint as a keeper of the
Collateral, the Mortgagee or any agent designated by Mortgagee or
any person named by Mortgagee at the time such seizure is
effected. This designation is pursuant to Louisiana Revised
Statutes 9:5136 through 5140.2, inclusive, as the same may be
amended, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all the rights
and benefits afforded thereunder. It is hereby agreed that the
keeper shall be entitled to receive as compensation, in excess of
its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the administration
or preservation of the Collateral, an amount equal to $250.00 per
day, which shall be included as Indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage. The designation of keeper made herein shall not be
deemed to require the Mortgagee to provoke the appointment of
such a keeper.

        Section 5.14. Waivers. The Mortgagor waives in favor of the
Mortgagee any and all homestead exemptions and other exemptions
of seizure or otherwise to which Mortgagor is or may be entitled
under the constitution and statutes of the State of Louisiana
insofar as the Collateral is concerned. Mortgagor further waives:
(a) the benefit of appraisement as provided in Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, and all other
laws conferring the same; (b) the demand and three days' delay
accorded by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2639 and
2721; (c) the notice of seizure required by Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure Articles 2293 and 2721; (d) the three days' delay
provided by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2331 and
2722; and (e) the benefit of the other provisions of Louisiana
Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, not
specifically mentioned above.

        Section 5.15. Authentic Evidence. Any and all declarations
of facts made by authentic act before a notary public in the
presence of two witnesses by a person declaring that such facts
lie within his knowledge, shall constitute authentic evidence of
such facts for the purpose of executory process. The Mortgagor
specifically agrees that such an affidavit by a representative of
the Mortgagee as to the existence, amount, terms and maturity of
the Indebtedness and of a default thereunder shall constitute
authentic evidence of such facts for the purpose of executory
process.

                             ARTICLE VI

                            MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 6.3. Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of

invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision of this Mortgage.

        Section 6.4. Survival of Agreements. All representations and
warranties of the Mortgagor herein, and all covenants and
agreements herein not fully performed before the effective date
of this Mortgage, shall survive such date.

        Section 6.5. Waivers. No course of dealing on the part of the
Mortgagee, its officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor
any failure or delay by the Mortgagee with respect to exercising

such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other

essence with respect to the performance of all of the terms,
provisions and conditions on the part of the Mortgagor and the

        of the Mortgagor in this Mortgage shall bind its successors
        and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee
        and its successors and assigns.

        (b) This Mortgage is for the benefit of the Mortgagee, the
        Credit Parties and  such other Person or Persons as may from
        time to time become or be the holders of any of the
        Indebtedness, and this Mortgage shall be transferable and
        negotiable, with the same force and effect and to the same
        extent as the Indebtedness may be transferrable, it being
        understood that, upon the transfer or assignment by the
        Credit Parties of any of the Indebtedness, the legal holder
        of such Indebtedness shall have all of the rights granted to
        the Mortgagee, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, under
        this Mortgage. The Mortgagor specifically agrees that upon
        any transfer of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, this
        Mortgage shall secure with retroactive rank the existing
        Indebtedness of the Mortgagor to the transferee and any and
        all Indebtedness to such transferee thereafter arising.

        (c) Mortgagor hereby recognizes and agrees that the
        Mortgagee and the Credit Parties may, from time to time, one

        may include, but are not limited to, sales of participation

        of and right to consent to any such transfers and
        assignments as may be provided under applicable law; (ii)

        percentage interest of such Indebtedness and that such a
        purchaser will have all of the rights granted to the
        purchaser under any participation agreement governing the
        sale of such a participation interest; (iii) agrees that any
        purchaser of a participation interest in the Indebtedness
        may exercise any and all rights of counter-claim, set-off,
        banker's lien and other liens with respect to any and all
        monies owing to the Mortgagor; and (iv) agrees that, upon
        any transfer of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, the
        Mortgagee and/or the subject Credit Party may transfer and
        deliver any and all collateral securing repayment of that
        Indebtedness to the transferee of such Indebtedness and such
        collateral shall secure any and all of the Indebtedness in
        favor of such a transferee, and after any such transfer has
        taken place, the Mortgagee and/or subject Credit Party shall
        be fully discharged from any and all future liability and
        responsibility to Mortgagor with respect to such collateral,
        and the transferee thereafter shall be vested with all the
        powers, rights and duties with respect to such collateral.

        Section 6.9. Reinstatement.  In the event the Mortgagee shall
elect to invoke any of the rights or remedies provided for
herein, but shall thereafter determine to withdraw or discontinue
same for any reason, it shall have the unqualified right to do
so, whereupon all parties shall be automatically restored and
returned to their respective positions regarding the Indebtedness
and this document as shall have existed prior to the invocation
of the Mortgagee's rights hereunder and the rights, powers and
remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder shall be and remain in full
force and effect.

        Section 6.10. Further Documents.  Mortgagor agrees that it shall
execute and deliver such other and further documents and do and
perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary and proper

hereby to cover and apply to any property placed in, on or about
the Premises in addition to, or replacement or substitution of,
any of the Collateral.

        Section 6.11. Titles of Articles, Sections, and Subsections.
All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or other
divisions of this Mortgage or the exhibits hereto are only for
the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have
any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such
articles, sections, subsections or other divisions, such other
content being controlling as to the agreement between the parties
hereto.

OTHERWISE), THIS MORTGAGE, THE COLLATERAL AND ANY OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENT, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY,
OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER. IT IS AGREED AND
UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS,
INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS
MORTGAGE. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
MADE BY THE MORTGAGOR, AND THE MORTGAGOR HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT
NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY
INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY
WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THE MORTGAGOR FURTHER
REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS
MORTGAGE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL
COUNSEL, SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

        Section 6.15. Certificates. The production of mortgage,
conveyance, tax research or other certificates is waived by
consent, and the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee agree to hold me,
Notary, harmless for failure to procure and attach same.

        Section 6.16. Credit Agreement.  To the extent the specific
terms and provisions of this Mortgage expressly conflict with the
specific terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the
specific terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall
control.  In the event that any provision in this Mortgage
provides for action or the exercise of discretion by the
Mortgagee, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control for
purposes of determining any consent or approval required from any
of the Credit Parties prior to Mortgagee's action or exercise of
discretion.

        THUS DONE AND PASSED on the day and in the month and year
hereinabove first written, in the presence of the undersigned
witnesses who hereunto sign their names with the Mortgagor, and

and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary

purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to

subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be

be immediately delivered to and held by the Secured Party and
shall constitute Pledged Collateral hereunder.

        4.03 Transfer, Other Liens, and Additional Shares.  The
Pledgor agrees that it will not (a) sell, assign, or otherwise
dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the
Pledged Collateral or (b) create or permit to exist any Lien upon

capital stock, partnership or membership interests or other
equity securities in addition to or in substitution for the
Pledged Collateral issued by such issuer, except to the Pledgor,
and (b) pledge to the Secured Party in accordance with this
Pledge Agreement, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or
indirectly) thereof, any additional shares of capital stock or
other equity securities of an issuer of the Pledged Shares.

        5.01 UCC Remedies.  To the extent permitted by law, the
Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral,
in addition to other rights and remedies provided for in this
Pledge Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC
applies to the affected Pledged Collateral).

        5.02 Dividends and Other Rights.

                (a) All rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting
and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled
to exercise pursuant to Section 2.04(a) may be exercised by the
Secured Party if the Secured Party so elects and gives notice of
such election to the Pledgor and all rights of the Pledgor to
receive the dividends and other distributions on or in respect of
the Pledged Shares and the proceeds of sale of the Pledged Shares
and interest and principal payments paid in respect of the
Pledged Debt which it would otherwise be authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to Section 2.04(c) shall cease.

                (b) All dividends and other distributions on or in
respect of the Pledged Shares and the proceeds of sale of the
Pledged Shares and interest and principal payments paid in
respect of the Pledged Debt which are received by the Pledgor
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party,
shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall be
promptly paid over to the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in
the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement);
provided, however, that if such Event of Default is cured, any
such dividend or distribution paid to the Secured Party prior to
that cure shall, upon request of the Pledgor, be returned by the
Secured Party to the Pledgor.

        5.03 Sale of Pledged Collateral.  The Secured Party may upon
ten days prior written notice to the Pledgor sell all or part of
the Pledged Collateral at public or private sale, at any of the
Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for
future delivery, and upon such other terms as are commercially
reasonable.  The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any
sale of the Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given.  The Secured Party may adjourn any public or
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

        5.04 Exempt Sale.  If, in the opinion of the Secured Party,
there is any question that a public or semi-public sale or
distribution of any Pledged Collateral will violate any state or
federal securities law, Secured Party in its discretion (a) may
offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree
to take them for investment purposes only and not with a view to
distribution and who will agree to the imposition of restrictive
legends on the certificates representing the security, or (b) may
sell such securities in an intrastate offering under Section
3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no sale
so made in good faith by Secured Party shall be deemed to be not
"commercially reasonable" solely because so made.  Pledgor shall
cooperate fully with Secured Party in all respects in selling or
realizing upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral.

        5.05 Application of Collateral.  Any cash held by the
Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds
received by the Secured Party from the sale of, collection of, or
other realization of any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in
the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party
as Pledged Collateral or applied by the Secured Party against
part of the Secured Obligations in the following order:

                first, to payment of the reasonable expenses of
such sale or other realization and all reasonable expenses,
liabilities, and advances incurred or made by the Secured Party
in connection therewith, and to the ratable payment of any other
unreimbursed reasonable expenses for which the Secured Party or
any Credit Party is to be reimbursed pursuant to the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document;

                second, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid
interest on the Advances owing under the Credit Agreement and the
Notes;

                third, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid
agent=s fees, commitment fees, letter of credit fees and fronting
fees owing to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders in respect of the Advances and Letters of Credit under
the Credit Agreement and the Notes; and

                fourth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured
Obligations owing to the Credit Parties.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the
Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the
Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Pledgor or
to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Section 6. Secured Party as Agent for Pledgor.

        6.01 Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  The Pledgor
hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party the Pledgor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority, after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, to act for the
Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor, and, in the Secured
Party's discretion, subject to the Pledgor's revocable rights
specified in Section 2.04, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement,
including, without limitation, to receive, indorse, and collect
all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any
dividend, or the proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Shares, or
other distribution in respect of the Pledged Shares and to give
full discharge for the same.

        6.02 Secured Party May Perform.  If the Pledgor fails to
perform any covenant contained herein, the Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant.  Pledgor
shall pay for the reasonable expenses of the Secured Party
incurred in connection therewith in accordance with Section 7.04.

        6.03 Secured Party's Duties.  Except for the safe custody
of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for
monies actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall
have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral, as to ascertaining or
taking action with respect to calls, conversion, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged
Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party or any other Credit
Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged
Collateral.  The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged
Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is
accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured
Party accords its own property.  The Secured Party shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Credit Parties and such instructions shall be
binding upon the holders of all Secured Obligations; provided,
however, that the Secured Party shall not be required to take any
action which exposes the Secured Party to personal liability or
which is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

        7.01 Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Pledge Agreement nor consent to any departure
by the Pledgor herefrom shall be effective unless made in writing
and signed by the Secured Party, the Pledgor, and either, as
required by the Credit Agreement, the Majority Lenders or all the
Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.

        7.02 Addresses for Notices.  All notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in the manner and
to the addresses set forth in the Credit Agreement.

        7.03 Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Interest.
This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest
in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and
effect until the indefeasible payment in full and termination of
the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor, its
successors, and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights
and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of
and be binding upon, the Secured Party and the other Credit
Parties and their respective successors, transferees, and
assigns.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause, when the Secured Party or such other Credit Party assigns
or otherwise transfers any interest held by it under the Credit
Agreement or other Credit Document to any other Person pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Credit Document,
that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits held by the Secured Party or such Credit Party under
this Pledge Agreement.  Upon the payment in full and termination
of the Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby
shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall
revert to the Pledgor to the extent such Pledged Collateral shall
not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms
hereof.  Upon any such termination, the Secured Party will, at
the Pledgor's expense, deliver all Pledged Collateral to the
Pledgor, execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the
Pledgor shall reasonably request and take any other actions
reasonably requested to evidence or effect such termination.

        7.04 Expenses.  The Pledgor will upon demand pay to the
Secured Party for its benefit and the benefit of the other Credit
Parties the amount of any and all expenses, including the
reasonable legal fees and expenses, which the Secured Party and
the other Credit Parties may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Pledge Agreement, (ii) the custody or
preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other
realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party
or the Lenders hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

        7.05 No Waiver; Remedies.  To the fullest extent permitted
under applicable law, no failure on the part of the Secured Party
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided under any other Credit Document or by
applicable law.

        7.06 Judgment Currency.  If for the purposes of obtaining
judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from
the Pledgor hereunder 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 Secured
Party could purchase the specified currency with such other
currency at the Secured Party's main Chicago office on the
Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable
judgment is given.  The obligations of the Pledgor in respect of
any sum due to the Secured Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Secured Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in
such other currency the Secured Party may in accordance with
normal, reasonable 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 the Secured Party in the specified currency, the Pledgor
agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Secured Party against such loss, and if the amount
of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum
originally due to the Secured Party in the specified currency and
(b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of
allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such
Lender under Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, the Secured
Party agrees to remit such excess to the Pledgor.

        7.07 Choice of Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

                (a) This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York, except to the extent that the validity or perfection
of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in
respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of
a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

                (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.07(a) hereof
to the contrary, nothing in this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed
to constitute a waiver of any rights which the Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any of the Lenders or any
of the other Credit Parties may have under the National Bank Act
or other federal law, including without limitation the right to
charge interest at the rate permitted by the laws of the state
where the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, the applicable Lender or any other applicable Credit Party
is located.

                (c) THE PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS
STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND
THE PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT

SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR

PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.

DATE HEREOF AT [1633 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019], AS ITS
AGENT TO RECEIVE ON BEHALF OF IT AND ITS PROPERTIES SERVICE OF

THE PLEDGOR ALSO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND
ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING BY

SPECIFIED HEREIN.  THE PLEDGOR AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE
ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING,

intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and any other
notice of any kind.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in

of the Security Documents.

        Subject to applicable federal law, this Note shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Illinois.

powers, and privileges of the Secured Party under this Security
Agreement.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties.  The Debtor hereby
represents and warrants the following to the Secured Party and
the Credit Parties:

        3.01 Debtor's Name.  The true and correct name of the Debtor
as listed on its articles or certificate of incorporation, as
applicable, is the name of the Debtor as listed on the signature
pages to this Security Agreement.

        3.02 Inventory.  All of the Inventory owned by the Debtor is
located at the facilities specified on the attached
Schedule 3.02.  No Persons other than Debtor have possession of
any of the Collateral.  No negotiable document has been issued to
represent any Inventory.

        3.03 Accounts.  The chief place of business and chief
executive office of the Debtor and the office where the Debtor
keeps the Records are located at the address set forth in the
attached Schedule 3.03.  None of the Accounts are evidenced by a
promissory note or other instrument.  To the best of Debtor's
knowledge each Account constitutes the legally valid and binding
obligation of the customer obligated to pay the same arising from
the sale, lease or rendition by Debtor of goods or services. The
amount represented by Debtor to the Secured Party as owing by
each customer is the correct amount actually and unconditionally
owing.  Each Account arose or shall have arisen in the ordinary
course of Debtor=s business.  To the best of Debtor's knowledge
no customer has any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim
against Debtor that can be asserted against the Debtor, whether
in any proceeding to enforce the Secured Party=s rights in the
Collateral or otherwise.

        3.04 Equipment.  All of the Equipment owned by the Debtor is
located at the facilities specified on the attached Schedule
3.04.  The Equipment is in good working order, ordinary wear and
tear excepted.

        3.05 Ownership; Other Liens.  The Debtor is and will be the
record and beneficial owner of all of the Collateral free and
clear of any Lien, except for the security interests created by
this Security Agreement and other Liens permitted by the Credit
Agreement.  No effective financing statement or other instrument
similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is
or will be  on file in any recording office, except such as may
have been filed in connection with (a) Liens created by this
Security Agreement or (b) other Liens permitted by the Credit
Agreement.

        3.06 Lien Priority and Perfection.  The security interest in
the Collateral created pursuant to this Security Agreement
creates a valid, binding, and perfected first priority security
interest in the Collateral except for any certificated motor
vehicles, securing the payment, performance and observance of the
Secured Obligations, and such security interests will be
perfected first priority security interests upon the filing of
appropriate financing statements naming the Debtor as debtor and
Secured Party as secured party in the jurisdictions set forth on
the attached Schedule 3.06, to the extent such interest may be
perfected under the UCC.

        3.07 Authorizations and Approvals.  No other authorization,
approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
any Governmental Authority is necessary to grant the security
interests contemplated hereby, or to allow the Debtor to perform
its obligations hereunder, or to permit the Secured Party or any
Credit Party to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder.

Section 4. Debtors' Covenants.

        4.01 Further Assurances.  The Debtor agrees that at any
time, at such Debtor's expense, such Debtor shall promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and
take all further action that may be necessary and that the
Secured Party or any Credit Party may reasonably request in order
to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party or any Credit
Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder
with respect to any Collateral.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Debtor will at the Secured Party's request
(a) deliver and pledge to the Secured Party, duly indorsed or
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Secured Party, any instrument, document, or chattel paper
representing any Account or arising as a result of the
disposition of any Collateral, and (b) execute and file such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and
such other instruments or notices as may be reasonably necessary
and as the Secured Party may reasonably request in order to
perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported
to be granted hereby.  The Debtor shall furnish to the Secured
Party from time to time any statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports
in connection with the Collateral as the Secured Party may
reasonably request.

        4.02 Accounts and Inventory.  The Debtor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to collect payments on the
Accounts when due.  The Debtor shall perform its obligations
under each contract related to or giving rise to any Account.
Except for Inventory in transit in the ordinary course of
business, the Debtor shall keep all of the Inventory at the
locations listed on Schedule 3.02.  The Debtor shall not permit
any negotiable document to represent any Inventory.  The Debtor
shall maintain and protect the Inventory and promptly furnish to
the Secured Party a statement regarding any material loss or
damage to the Inventory.

        4.03 Equipment.  The Debtor shall cause the Equipment to be
maintained and preserved in good working order, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and shall make or cause to be made all repairs,
replacements, and other improvements which are necessary or
desirable to maintain the Equipment in good working order.

        4.04 Insurance.

                (a) Policies and Certificates.  The Debtor shall, at
its own expense, maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance
with respect to the Collateral of the Debtor in such amounts,
against such risks, in such form, and with such insurers, as the
Credit Agreement requires.  Certified copies of all policies of
insurance or certificates thereof, and endorsements and renewals
thereof shall be delivered to and retained by the Administrative
Agent.  All policies of insurance shall either have attached
thereto a Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, as loss payee in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or shall name the
Administrative Agent as an additional insured, as applicable.
All policies or certificates of insurance shall set forth the
coverage, the limits of liability, the name of the carrier, the
policy number, and the period of coverage.  In addition, all
policies of insurance required under the terms hereof shall
contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss
shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy
notwithstanding any act of negligence of the Debtor, any
Borrower, or any party holding under such Borrower which might
otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance and the further
agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of setoff,
counterclaim or deductions against the Debtor.  All such policies
shall contain a provision that notwithstanding any contrary
agreements between the Debtor and the applicable insurance
company, such policies will not be canceled, allowed to lapse
without renewal, surrendered or amended (which provision shall
include any reduction in the scope or limits of coverage) without
at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent.  In the event that, notwithstanding the "lender's loss
payable endorsement" requirement, the proceeds of any insurance
policy described above are paid to the Debtor, the Debtor shall
deliver such proceeds to the Administrative Agent immediately
upon receipt.  In addition, upon request by the Credit Parties,
the Debtor shall deliver certificates evidencing renewal of such
insurance and evidence that the premiums have been paid before
termination of any insurance policies representing such
insurance.  If such insurance is not maintained in full force and
effect, the Secured Party at its option may procure such insur-
ance at the Debtor's expense.

                (b) Notice of Casualty Events, Etc.  Promptly upon
obtaining knowledge thereof, the Debtor shall notify the Secured
Party of any material casualty to the Collateral, including all
casualties to the Collateral where the aggregate damage to the
Collateral could exceed $500,000.  With respect to any potential
claims under any insurance, the Secured Party may, but shall not
be required to, make proof of loss under, settle and adjust any
claims under, and receive the proceeds under any such insurance
or direct the Debtor to take such actions at the direction of the
Secured Party, and the expenses incurred by the Secured Party in
the adjustment and collection of such proceeds shall be paid by
the Debtor.  The Secured Party shall not be liable or responsible
for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of
any proceeds.

                (c) Payments.  With respect to any casualty to the
Collateral, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all proceeds of such casualty, including any
insurance proceeds, proceeds from actions, and any other
proceeds, whether or not above the amounts specified above, are
assigned to the Secured Party and shall be paid directly to the
Secured Party and applied in accordance with paragraph (d) below.
In the event that any such proceeds are paid to the Debtor in
violation of the foregoing, the Debtor shall hold the proceeds in
trust for the Secured Party, segregate the proceeds from the
other funds of the Debtor, and promptly pay the proceeds to the
Secured Party with any necessary endorsement.  Upon the request
of the Secured Party, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Debtor shall execute and
deliver to the Secured Party any additional assignments and other
documents as may be necessary or desirable to enable the Secured
Party to directly collect the proceeds.

                (d) Application of Proceeds.  With respect to the
proceeds of any casualty required to be paid to the Secured Party
hereunder, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Secured Party may, in its sole discretion,
either disburse the proceeds to the Debtor or retain the proceeds
and apply such proceeds as provided for in Section 5.07 or may
disburse the proceeds to the Debtor for the purpose of repairing,
replacing, and restoring the damaged collateral.

        4.05 Transfer of Collateral; Release of Security Interest.
The Debtor shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise), or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except
as permitted by the Credit Agreement.  The Secured Party shall
promptly, at the Debtor's expense, execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action
that the Debtor may reasonably request in order to release its
security interest in any Collateral which is disposed of in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

        4.06 Change of Name, Etc..  The Debtor will notify the
Secured Party in writing 15 days prior to (a) any new location of
any Property comprising a part of the Collateral in which such
Debtor is granting a security interest to the Secured Party under
the terms of this Security Agreement, or (b) any change in the
Debtor=s name, identity or corporate structure, location of its
chief executive office, chief place of business, or office where
the Debtor keeps its Records, or state of incorporation.

Section 5. Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:

        5.01 Bank Accounts.  The Secured Party may offset any bank
accounts included in the Collateral or direct the transfer of the
Collateral as provided in any Bank Letters acknowledged and
agreed to by the Debtor and the bank where funds are deposited,
in substantially the form of Exhibit A to this Security
Agreement.

        5.02 UCC Remedies.  To the extent permitted by law, the
Secured Party may exercise, in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to other rights and remedies provided for in this
Security Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the
UCC applies to the affected Collateral).

        5.03 Assembly of Collateral.  The Secured Party may require
the Debtor to, at the Debtor's expense, promptly assemble all or
part of the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party
at a place to be designated by the Secured Party.  The Secured
Party may occupy any premises owned or leased by the Debtor where
the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder
or under law, without obligation to the Debtor in respect of such
occupation.  The Secured Party shall have no obligation to take
any action to assemble or otherwise take control of the
Collateral, whether for the purposes of sale or otherwise.

        5.04 Sale of Collateral.  Upon at least ten Business Days
prior written notice to the Debtor of the time and place of any
proposed sale or other disposition, the Secured Party may sell
all or part of the Collateral at a public or private sale, at any
of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit,
or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured
Party deems commercially reasonable.  The Secured Party shall not
be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given.  The Secured Party may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

        5.05 Accounts.  The Secured Party may, or may direct any
Debtor to, take any action the Secured Party deems reasonably
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Accounts
including, without limitation, notifying the account debtors or
obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to
the Secured Party and directing such account debtors or obligors
to make payment of all amounts due or to become due directly to
the Secured Party.  Upon such notification and direction, and at
the expense of the Debtor, the Secured Party may enforce
collection of any such Accounts, and adjust, settle, or
compromise the amount or payment thereof in the same manner and
to the same extent as the Debtor might have done.  After receipt
by the Debtor of the notice referred to above, all amounts and
proceeds (including instruments) received by the Debtor in
respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from
other funds of the Debtor, and shall promptly be paid over to the
Secured Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement) to be held as Collateral.  None of the Debtors shall
adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any
receivable, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or
obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.

        5.06 Special Provisions for Collateral Located in Louisiana
The following shall apply if the foreclosure rights and remedies
are governed by the laws of Louisiana.  Upon the existence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party
shall have the right to cause the Collateral to be seized and
sold under Louisiana executory or ordinary process, at the
Secured Party's sole option, without appraisement, appraisement
being hereby expressly waived, as an entirety or in portions as
the Secured Party may determine, to the highest bidder for cash,
and otherwise exercise the rights, powers and remedies afforded
herein and under applicable Louisiana law.  For purposes of
Louisiana executory process, the Debtor acknowledges the Secured
Obligations and does hereby confess judgment in favor of the
Secured Party for the full amount of the Secured Obligations not
paid when due.  Any and all declarations of fact made by
authentic act before a notary public in the presence of two
witnesses by a person declaring that such facts lie within his
knowledge shall constitute authentic evidence of such facts for
the purpose of executory process.  The Debtor hereby waives:
(a) the benefit of appraisement as provided in Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, and all other
laws conferring the same; (b) the demand and three days' delay
accorded by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2639 and
2721; (c) the notice of seizure required by Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure Articles 2293 and 2721; (d) the three days' delay
provided by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2331 and
2722; and (e) the benefit of the other provisions of Louisiana
Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, not
specifically mentioned above.  In the event the Collateral or any
part thereof is seized as an incident to an action for the
recognition or enforcement of this Agreement by executory
process, ordinary process, sequestration, writ of fieri facias,
or otherwise, the Debtor and Secured Party agree that the court
issuing any such order shall, if petitioned for by the Secured
Party, direct the applicable sheriff to appoint as a keeper of
the Collateral, the Secured Party or any agent designated by the
Secured Party or any person named by the Secured Party at the
time such seizure is effected.  This designation of a keeper will
be pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:5136-9:5140.2 and the
Secured Party or its agent shall be entitled to all the rights
and benefits of a keeper afforded thereunder as the same may be
amended.  The Secured Party shall not be obligated to petition
the court for the appointment of a keeper.

        5.07 Application of Collateral.  The proceeds of any sale or
other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied by the Secured Party in the following order:

                first, to payment of the reasonable expenses of such
sale or other realization and all expenses, liabilities, and
advances incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection
therewith, and to the ratable payment of any other unreimbursed
reasonable expenses for which the Secured Party or any Credit
Party is to be reimbursed pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document;

                second, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid
interest on the Advances owing under the Credit Agreement and the
Notes;

                third, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid
agent=s fees, commitment fees, letter of credit fees and fronting
fees owing to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders in respect of the Advances and Letters of Credit under
the Credit Agreement and the Notes; and

                fourth, to the ratable payment of  all other Secured
Obligations owing to the Credit Parties.

        Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the
Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the
Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Debtor or
to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Section 6. Secured Party as Attorney-in-Fact for Debtor.

        6.01 Attorney-In-Fact.  The Debtor hereby irrevocably
appoints the Secured Party as the Debtor's attorney-in-fact, with
full authority, after the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, to act for the Debtor and in the name of
the Debtor, in the Secured Party's discretion upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of Default, to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto,
relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the
signature of the Debtor where permitted by law, to receive,
endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents,
and chattel paper which are part of the Collateral, and to ask,
demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive, and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
or in respect of any of the Collateral and to file any claims or
take any action or institute any proceedings which the Secured
Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the
rights of the Secured Party with respect to any of the
Collateral.

        The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable.

        6.02 Secured Party Performance.  If the Debtor fails to
perform any covenant contained herein, the Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant, and the
Debtor shall pay for the expenses of the Secured Party incurred
in connection therewith in accordance with Section 7.01.

        6.03 Secured Party's Duties.  The powers conferred on the
Secured Party under this Security Agreement are solely to protect
its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
it to exercise any such powers.  Except for the reasonable care
of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies
or other property actually received by it hereunder, the Secured
Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties
or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  The Secured
Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care as to the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if
the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which the Secured Party accords its own property, provided that
the Secured Party shall have no responsibility for taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any Pledged Collateral.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

        7.01 Expenses.  The Debtor shall upon demand pay to the
Secured Party for its benefit and the benefit of the other Credit
Parties the amount without duplication of any expenses, including
the disbursements and reasonable fees of its counsel and of any
experts and agents, which the Secured Party and the other Credit
Parties may incur in connection with (a) the custody,
preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale, collection, or
other realization of, any of the Collateral, (b) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party or any
Credit Party hereunder, and (c) the failure by the Debtor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

        7.02 Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Security Agreement nor consent to any departure
by the Debtor from the terms of this Security Agreement shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Debtor, the Secured Party, and either, as required by the Credit
Agreement, the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

        7.03 Addresses for Notices.  All notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be made as provided
in the Credit Agreement.  All such notices and other
communications shall be effective as provided in the Credit
Agreement.

        7.04 Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Interest.
This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and
effect until indefeasible payment in full and termination of the
Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Debtor, the Secured
Party, the Credit Parties and their respective successors, and
assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the Secured Party, the Credit Parties, and their respective
successors, transferees, and assigns.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause, when any Credit Party assigns
or otherwise transfers any interest held by it under the Credit
Agreement or other Credit Document to any other Person pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Credit Document,
that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits held by such Credit Party under this Security Agreement.
Upon the indefeasible payment in full and termination of the
Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the
Debtor to the extent such Collateral shall not have been sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.  Upon any such
termination, the Secured Party , at the Debtor's expense, will
execute and deliver to the Debtor such UCC statements and other
documentation as the Debtor shall reasonably request and take any
other actions reasonably requested by the Debtor to evidence or
effect such termination.

        7.05 Waiver of Rights of Appraisement.  The Debtor hereby
expressly waives the rights of appraisement, notice, or delay and
expressly agrees to the immediate seizure of the Collateral in
the event of suit thereon.

        7.06 Choice of Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

                (a) This Security Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York, except to the extent that the validity or perfection
of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in
respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of
a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

                (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.06(a) hereof
to the contrary, nothing in this Security Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights which the Secured
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any of the
Lenders or any of the other Credit Parties may have under the
National Bank Act or other federal law, including, without
limitation, the right to charge interest at the rate permitted by
the laws of the state where the Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, the applicable Lender or any other
applicable Credit Party is located.

                (c) THE DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS
STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND
THE DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT
OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY
SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.

                (d) THE DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY,  (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT,
ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER.  ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE DEBTOR INVOLVING,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, OR ANY MATTER IN
ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN ILLINOIS.

        The parties hereto have caused this Security Agreement to be
duly executed as of the date first above written.

        Re:     [Name of Debtor] (the "Company")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We hereby notify you that effective [___________, ____], pursuant
to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as
April ___, 2002 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated,
the "Credit Agreement", the defined terms of which are used in
this letter unless otherwise defined herein) among Global
Industries, Ltd., Global Offshore, S. de R.L. de C.V., the banks
party thereto (the "Lenders"), and Bank One, NA, as
administrative agent ("Administrative Agent") for the Lenders,
the Company has granted to the Administrative Agent a security
interest in its deposit accounts with your institution, such
accounts identified by account number on Annex A thereto (the
"Bank Accounts"), and all proceeds therein.

We hereby irrevocably instruct you to make all payments to be
made by you out of or in connection with each Bank Account (i) at
any time prior to your receipt of notice from the Administrative
Agent that an "Event of Default" has occurred and is continuing
under the Credit Agreement, as directed by the Company, or (ii)
at any other time as you may be instructed by the Administrative
Agent.

We also hereby notify you that the Administrative Agent shall be
irrevocably entitled to exercise any and all rights in respect of
or in connection with the Bank Accounts, including, without
limitation, the right to specify when payment are to be made out
of or in connection with the Bank Accounts after your receipt of
notice from the Administrative Agent of an "Event of Default"
under the Credit Agreement.  Such notice shall be in writing and
mailed to you by registered or certified mail to the address
first set forth above.

By signing below and returning the enclosed copy of this letter,
you hereby:

        (ii)    acknowledge the existence of the grant of a security
interest by the Company in the Bank Accounts;

        (iii)   agree that you have received no notice from any
other person of any security interest in the Bank Accounts; and

        (iv)    agree that none of the funds deposited into the Bank
Accounts will be subject to no deduction, set-off, banker=s lien,
charge, security interest, lien, claim or any other right of any
kind in your favor, except that you may set-off against the Bank
Accounts the face amount of any check deposited in and credited
to such account which is subsequently returned for any reason and
all reasonable charges, fees, commissions and expenses incurred
by you in providing account services to the Company.

Unless you are grossly negligent or do not act in good faith in
performance or non-performance in connection with this letter
agreement, we agree to hold you harmless from any claims,
damages, losses or expenses incurred by you in connection

herein, your liability shall be limited to damages directly
caused by such breach and in no event shall you be liable for any
incidental or indirect or consequential damages hereunder.

Please confirm your acknowledgment of and agreement to the
foregoing instruction by signing in the space provided below.
