         WHEREAS, the Rights Agreement was amended on July 31, 1997 to reduce

         Restated Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

                                                                     Page 1 of 2

3.       This Amendment, the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, each Right
         and each Right Certificate issued under the Amended and Restated Rights
         Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the

         contracts to be made and performed entirely within such Republic,
         except that the rights and obligations of the Rights Agent shall be
         governed by the law of the State of New York.

4.       All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
         shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended and Restated

         THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of August 16, 2000 (this
"Agreement"), is entered into among GAYLORD RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, called
"GRC"), the FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that are parties hereto, BANKERS TRUST
COMPANY, as facility agent for the Lenders hereunder (hereinafter, together with
its successors and assigns in such capacity, the "Facility Agent"), and LASALLE
BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the collateral agent for the Lenders hereunder
(hereinafter together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the
"Collateral Agent").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, GRC, Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as the facility agent and
as the collateral agent, and various financial institutions, as the lenders have
entered into that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of September 24,
1993, as subsequently amended (collectively, the "Existing Credit Agreement");

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the parties to the Existing
Credit Agreement and otherwise amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement
on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                   DEFINITIONS

         SECTION 1.01 Certain Definitions. The following terms when used in this
Agreement shall have the following meanings:

         "Actionable Event" is defined in Article IX.

         "Adjusted LIBO Rate" means, with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan or any
Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to
the next higher 1/100 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate in effect for the
Interest Period applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan, divided by (b) one minus the
LIBO Reserves (as defined hereinafter).

         The term "LIBO Rate" means (a) the Telerate Screen Rate for such
Interest Period or (b) if Page 3750 of the Dow Jones Telerate Service is
unavailable at the time any LIBO Rate is to be determined, a rate determined on
the basis of the offered rates for deposits in Dollars for a period
approximately equal to such Interest Period which appear on the Reuters Screen
LIBO Page, as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking
Days preceding the beginning of

                                                      Revolving Credit Agreement

such Interest Period. If at least two rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO
Page, the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean of
such rates. If no such rates appear, the LIBO Rate shall be determined on the
basis of the rates at which deposits in Dollars are offered by four major banks
in the London interbank market selected by the Facility Agent at approximately
11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking Days preceding
the beginning of such Interest Period to prime banks in the London interbank
market for a period approximately equal to such Interest Period and an amount
approximately equal to the principal amount of such LIBO Rate Loan. The Facility
Agent will request the principal London office of each such bank to provide a
quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the LIBO
Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two
quotations are provided as requested, the LIBO Rate with respect to such
Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major
banks in New York City, New York selected by the Facility Agent at approximately
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day for loans in Dollars to leading
European banks for a term approximately equal to such Interest Period and an
amount approximately equal to the principal amount of such LIBO Rate Loan.

         The term "LIBO Reserves" means, relative to each Interest Period, a
percentage (expressed as a decimal) equal to the maximum aggregate reserve
requirements (including all basic, emergency, supplemental, marginal and other
reserves and taking into account any transitional adjustments or other scheduled
changes in reserve requirements) specified under regulations issued from time to

the contrary, a Conduit shall have the option, but shall not be required, to
fund any Revolving Loan requested of its related Committed Lender, and, to the
extent such Conduit funds such Revolving Loan, such Committed Lender shall be
relieved from any obligation to fund such Revolving Loan and shall be deemed to

determining its available or unused Revolving Commitment at any time. Such
Conduit shall (i) be a "Lender" hereunder with respect to any Revolving Loans
made by it, (ii) have all of the rights of any other Lender with respect to any
Obligations owed to it, (iii) have a Revolving Note issued to it in the stated
principal amount equal to the Revolving Percentage of its related Committed

Revolving Percentage for all purposes (other than for purposes of determining
the amount of Revolving Loans such Committed Lender is obligated to fund
hereunder or such Committed Lender's Revolving Percentage of the Revolving
Commitment) which is equal to the lesser of:

                           (i)     the Revolving Percentage of such Committed
                  Lender (prior to giving effect to this Section 2.01(c)) and

                           (ii)    the ratio (expressed as a percentage) where
                  the numerator is the principal amount of all Revolving Loans
                  made by such Conduit and the denominator is the principal
                  amount of all Revolving Commitments at such time

(and such Committed Lender's Revolving Percentage for such purposes shall equal
the positive difference, if any, between (i) minus (ii) above); provided, that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit
shall have no monetary obligation of any kind hereunder to GRC, any Lender or
any other Person.

         SECTION 2.02 Notices of Borrowing. Whenever GRC desires to make a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans, it shall give the Facility Agent at the Notice
Office written notice or telephonic notice (confirmed in writing on the next
Business Day thereafter) that it is requesting such Revolving Loan (each, a
"Notice of Borrowing") no later than noon (New York time) on the third Business
Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, or on
the Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of an
Alternate Base Rate Loan. The Facility

                                       11            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   17

Agent shall promptly give the Collateral Agent and each Lender written notice or
telephonic notice (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of such Notice of
Borrowing. The Facility Agent shall advise GRC and each Lender of the
determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to any LIBO Rate Loan on the
next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A hereto and shall specify (i) the principal amount GRC desires to
borrow hereunder, (ii) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) and
(iii) whether the requested Revolving Loan is to be initially maintained as an
Alternate Base Rate Loan or a LIBO Rate Loan and, if such Revolving Loan is to
be maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto. Each Borrowing shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or, if
greater than $1,000,000, an integral multiple of $100,000 thereof. Each Notice
of Borrowing shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 2.07(b).

         SECTION 2.03 Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each
Lender will make available to the Facility Agent in immediately available funds
its Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Loans required to be made on such date
at the Payment Office; and the Facility Agent will, promptly but no later than
2:00 p.m. (New York time), make available to GRC at the Payment Office the
aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Contemporaneously
with the disbursement of such Revolving Loans, the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have funded the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate in the amount of such
Revolving Loans.

                  (b) Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from
a Lender prior to the date on which any Revolving Loan is to be made that such
Lender shall not make available to the Facility Agent such Lender's ratable
portion of such Revolving Loan, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such portion available to the Facility Agent on the date of such
Revolving Loan in accordance with this Section 2.03 and the Facility Agent
shall, in reliance upon such assumption, make such Revolving Loan available to
GRC as provided for in this Section 2.03. If and to the extent such Lender shall
not have made such ratable portion of such Revolving Loan available to the
Facility Agent, the other Lenders shall, upon notice from the Facility Agent,
provide such amount to the Facility Agent (up to the amount of each such
Lender's unfunded portion of its Revolving Percentage of the Revolving
Commitment) on a pro rata basis and such non-funding Lender agrees to pay to the
Facility Agent (for the account of the other Lenders) forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available by the Facility Agent to GRC until the date such
non-funding Lender pays such amount to the Facility Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If such amount is not in fact made available to
the Facility Agent by such non-funding Lender within three Business Days after
the applicable Borrowing Date (i) GRC shall immediately cause the Ratable
Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate to be reduced by such
amount, and shall cause such amount, together with interest thereon at the
interest rate per annum then applicable to the Revolving Loans comprising such
Borrowing, to be paid to the Collateral Agent and (ii) upon the Collateral
Agent's receipt of such Distribution, the Collateral Agent shall remit the
amount of such Distribution to the Facility Agent (for the account of the
Lenders). Nothing contained in this

                                       12            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   18

Section 2.03 shall be construed to relieve any Lender from its obligation
hereunder to make available its Revolving Percentage of each Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.04 The Revolving Notes. (a) GRC's obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on all the Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall
be evidenced by a non-recourse promissory note of GRC payable to each such
Lender (each, a "Revolving Note" and, collectively, the "Revolving Notes") which
shall: (i) be dated the Closing Date; (ii) be in the stated principal amount
equal to such Lender's Revolving Percentage of the original Revolving
Commitment; (iii) have a stated due date of the Stated Maturity Date; (iv) bear
interest as provided in Section 2.06; (v) be payable to the order of such
Lender; (vi) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement; and (vii) be in the
form of Exhibit B to this Agreement with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith. Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, make a
notation on the schedule attached to its Revolving Note of the date and the
amount of its Revolving Percentage of each Revolving Loan and the date and
amount of the payment of principal thereon, which notation shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error, and prior to any transfer of its Revolving
Note, such Lender shall endorse the outstanding principal amount of such
Revolving Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided, however, that failure
to make any such notation or any error in any such notation shall not adversely
affect such Lender's rights with respect to its Revolving Percentage of the
Revolving Loans.

                  (b) Although each Revolving Note shall be dated the Closing
Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods during
which Revolving Loans are outstanding thereunder. In addition, although the
stated principal amount of each Revolving Note shall be equal to each Lender's
Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Commitment, GRC's obligation to pay the
principal amount of each Revolving Note shall be enforceable only to the extent
of the unpaid principal amount of such Lender's Revolving Loans outstanding
thereunder at the time such enforcement shall be sought. In addition, the right
to receive payments under the Revolving Note shall be limited as set forth in
Section 4.04.

         SECTION 2.05 Conversions and Continuations. (a) GRC shall have the
option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 and the following provisions
of this Section 2.05, to convert on any Business Day all or any part of the
outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a single
Borrowing from one Type of Revolving Loan into another Type and to continue any
LIBO Rate Loan for subsequent Interest Periods; provided that (A) after giving
effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans made
pursuant to a single Borrowing shall be at least $1,000,000 or, if greater than
$1,000,000, an integral multiple of $100,000 thereof, (B) conversions of LIBO
Rate Loans shall only be permitted on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto and (C) Revolving Loans may not be converted into, or
continued as, LIBO Rate Loans on or after the Commitment Termination Date or
during the existence of an Actionable Event or an Unmatured Actionable Event.

                                       13            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   19

                  (b) Each such conversion or continuation of the Revolving
Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders on the basis of their respective Revolving Percentages and shall be
effected by GRC giving at least three Business Days' prior written notice or
telephonic notice (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) (each a "Notice of
Conversion/Continuation") of each proposed conversion or continuation to the
Facility Agent at its Notice Office. The Facility Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Each Notice of
Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Section
2.07(b), and shall specify (i) the date of such conversion or continuation,
which must be a Business Day, (ii) the amount and type of Revolving Loans to be
converted or continued, and (iii) if such Revolving Loans are to be converted
into or continued as LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable
thereto. The Facility Agent shall advise GRC and each Lender of the
determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to any LIBO Rate Loan on the
next Business Day. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period, GRC has failed
to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan as
provided above, GRC shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBO Rate
Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan effective as of the expiration of such
current Interest Period.

         SECTION 2.06 Interest. (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph
(c) below, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each
Alternate Base Rate Loan from the Borrowing Date or the Conversion Date, as
applicable, until such Alternate Base Rate Loan is converted or repaid, at a
rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time.

                  (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below,
interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Loan from
the Borrowing Date or Conversion Date, as applicable, until such LIBO Rate Loan
is converted or repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted
LIBO Rate applicable to such Revolving Loan plus 0.60%.

                  (c) GRC shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
each Revolving Loan (i) during the existence of an Actionable Event and (ii)
from the first Settlement Date that falls three months after the Commitment
Termination Date, in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii) at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of (A) two percent (2%), plus (B) the rate of
interest otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loan pursuant to paragraph (a)
or (b) above.

                  (d) Subject to Section 4.04, accrued interest with respect to
each Revolving Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date (including, in the case of a Revolving Loan that has been converted from
one Type to another, on the Interest Payment Date following such conversion), on
the Stated Maturity Date and, after the Stated Maturity Date, on demand.

         SECTION 2.07 Market Unavailability; Illegality, Etc. (a) In the event
that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding

                                       14            Revolving Credit Agreement

upon all parties but, with respect to clause (i) below, shall be made only after
consultation with the Facility Agent):

                  (i) on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any
         Interest Period, that by reason of any changes arising after the date
         of this Agreement and affecting the London interbank market for
         Dollars, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
         applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of
         "Adjusted LIBO Rate",

                  (ii) at any time, that by reason of any change since the date
         of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule,
         regulation, guideline or order (or any interpretation thereof and
         including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule,
         regulation, guideline or order) the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not
         adequately or fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding or
         maintaining its affected LIBO Rate Loans or its commitment hereunder,
         or

                  (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBO
         Rate Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender
         in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
         order, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency
         occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and
         adversely affects the London interbank market for Dollars,

then, and in any such event, such Lender shall on such date give notice (by
telephone, promptly confirmed in writing) to GRC and the Facility Agent of such
determination. Thereafter (A) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, each
LIBO Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest
Period therefor, convert into an Alternate Base Rate Loan and the right of GRC
to select LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Facility Agent shall
notify GRC that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and
any LIBO Rate Loans requested to be made during such period shall be made as
Alternate Base Rate Loans, and (B) in the case of clause (iii) above, GRC shall
take one of the actions specified in Section 2.07(b) as promptly as possible
and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

                  (a) At any time that any of the LIBO Rate Loans are affected
by the circumstances described in Section 2.07(a)(iii), GRC shall either if the
affected LIBO Rate Loan is proposed to be made pursuant to a Borrowing or a
conversion, cancel said Borrowing or conversion by giving the Facility Agent
telephonic notice thereof (promptly confirmed in writing) on the same date that
GRC was notified of such circumstances by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a)
or if the affected LIBO Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one
Business Day's written notice to the Facility Agent and such Lender, require the
affected Lender to convert its affected LIBO Rate Loan to an Alternate Base Rate
Loan.

         SECTION 2.08 Capital Adequacy. If, after the date hereof, either the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or compliance by any Lender or any

                                       15            Revolving Credit Agreement

Person controlling a Lender with any guideline or request issued after the date
hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority or official
(whether or not having the force of law) has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such controlling Person's
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or controlling Person could have achieved but for such
introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or
such controlling Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy as in
existence on the date hereof) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim
for such increased costs, including changing the office of such Lender at which
its obligations hereunder are maintained so long as not otherwise
disadvantageous (including without limitation any action which such Lender
determines in good faith is unlawful or results in any unreimbursed cost or
expense which would not have been incurred except for such action) to such
Lender or controlling Person in its sole discretion; provided that if such
efforts do not eliminate such costs, such Lender may, within 30 Business Days of
the date that any such introduction, change, guideline or request becomes
effective, notify the Facility Agent and GRC thereof. Within 10 Business Days
after receipt of notice from a Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, but subject to Section 4.04, GRC shall pay to such Lender or such
controlling Person, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional
amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling
Person on an after-tax basis for such increased costs relative to its Revolving
Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. A statement by such Lender setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the
determination of the amount thereof submitted by such Lender to GRC shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive. In making such determination,
such Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and use averaging and
attribution methods that are reasonable.

         SECTION 2.09 Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, either (a) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (b) compliance by any Lender with any guideline or request from
any central bank or other governmental authority or official (whether or not
having the force of law) has or would have the effect of increasing the cost to
any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBO Rate Loans
or reducing the amount receivable by any Lender with respect thereto (other than
any increased cost or reduction resulting from (x) the increase of reserve
requirements included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or (y)
Excluded Taxes) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for such
increased costs or for compensation for such reduction, including changing the
office of such Lender at which its obligations hereunder are maintained so long
as not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender in its sole discretion; provided
that if such reasonable efforts do not eliminate such costs, such Lender may,
within 30 Business Days of the date that any such introduction, change,
guideline or request becomes effective, notify the Facility Agent and GRC
thereof. Within 10 Business Days after receipt of notice from a Lender pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, but subject to Section 4.04, GRC shall
pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional
amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender on an after-tax
basis for such increased costs or reduction. A statement by such Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the

                                       16            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   22

basis for requesting such compensation and the determination of the amount
thereof submitted by such Lender to GRC shall, absent manifest error, be final
and conclusive. In making such determination, such Lender shall act reasonably
and in good faith and use averaging and attribution methods that are reasonable.

         SECTION 2.10 Compensation. Subject to Section 4.04, GRC shall
compensate each Lender upon its written request (provided such request is given
within 90 Business Days of the incurrence of the loss, expense or liability) for
all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or
carry its LIBO Rate Loans and any loss sustained by such Lender in connection
with the re-employment of such funds), which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for
any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing of any LIBO Rate
Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) if for any
reason any payment, prepayment or conversion of principal of any of its LIBO
Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) as a consequence of any failure by GRC to repay its LIBO
Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any prepayment,
cancellation or conversion made by GRC pursuant to Section 2.07(b), or (d) by
reason of an adjustment in the Revolving Percentages of any Lenders pursuant to
Section 3.04(b). A statement by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for requesting such compensation and the determination of the amount
thereof submitted by such Lender to GRC shall, absent manifest error, be final
and conclusive. In making such determination, such Lender shall act reasonably
and in good faith.

         SECTION 2.11 Pro Rata Borrowing. All Revolving Loans under this
Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in such amounts as
necessary so that after giving effect thereto, to the extent possible, the
outstanding Revolving Loans of each Lender as a percentage of all outstanding
Revolving Loans of all Lenders is equal to such Lender's Revolving Percentage.
No Lender shall be responsible for any failure of any other Lender to make
Revolving Loans hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the
Revolving Loans to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any
other Lender to fulfill its commitment hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               OTHER CREDIT TERMS

         SECTION 3.01  Fees.  Subject to Section 4.04:

                  (a) GRC agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent for distribution
to each Lender a commitment fee computed at the rate of 0.50 % per annum from
the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date on the average daily
amount of the excess of such Lender's Revolving Percentage of the Revolving
Commitment over the average daily aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Revolving Loans of such Lender during such Calculation Period (in the

                                       17            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   23
aggregate, the "Commitment Fees"). The Commitment Fees shall be paid in arrears
on each Settlement Date with respect to the Calculation Period immediately
preceding such Settlement Date.

                  (b) GRC agrees to pay to the Facility Agent such other fees
("Facility Agent Fees") as are specified in that certain fee letter dated August
16, 2000, between the Facility Agent and GRC (the "Facility Agent Fee Letter").

                  (c) GRC agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent such other fees
as are specified in that certain letter agreement (the "Collateral Agent Fees")
dated August 16, 2000 between the Collateral Agent and GRC (the "Collateral
Agent Fee Letter").

         SECTION 3.02 Reduction and Termination of Commitment. GRC shall have
the right at any time and from time to time upon three Business Days' prior
notice to the Facility Agent and S&P to (a) terminate the Revolving Commitment
in whole or (b) permanently reduce in part the unused portion of the Revolving
Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000.

         SECTION 3.03 Extensions of Commitment. (a) Subject to paragraphs (b)
and (c) of this Section 3.03 and other provisions of this Agreement permitting
earlier termination, the Revolving Commitment shall terminate on May 1, 2005 (as
such date may be extended from time to time pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of
this Section 3.03, the "Scheduled Commitment Termination Date").

                  (b) During the third month prior to the third anniversary of
the Closing Date and during the third month prior to each anniversary of the
Closing Date that occurs thereafter prior to the occurrence of the Commitment
Termination Date, GRC may notify the Facility Agent and S&P that GRC wishes to
extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date by one year, whereupon the
Facility Agent shall notify each Lender of such extension request. The Facility
Agent shall notify GRC and S&P of the decisions of the Lenders not later than 45
days after the Facility Agent's receipt of such extension request. If the
Required Lenders desire to extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date by
one year, the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall be so extended, except
as provided in Section 3.03(c).

                  (c) If the Required Lenders approve the extension of the
Scheduled Commitment Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and any Lender
does not affirmatively consent to the extension of the Scheduled Commitment
Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b) (failure to act being deemed as a
refusal to consent), GRC may, upon such failure to extend, with the consent of
the Facility Agent and the Seller (which consent may not unreasonably be
withheld or delayed), obtain a successor Lender or Lenders to purchase the
outstanding Revolving Loans of such non-extending Lender and to assume such
non-extending Lender's Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. If such
a successor Lender or Lenders is or are obtained, at the time the Scheduled
Commitment Termination Date is to be extended, GRC, the Lenders who have
approved

                                       18            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   24

the extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date pursuant to Section
3.03(b), the non-extending Lender(s), the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent
and such successor Lender or Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents
and instruments as shall be appropriate to evidence the extension of the
Scheduled Commitment Termination Date and such successor Lender's or Lenders'
purchase of the non-extending Lender's Revolving Loans and assumption of such
non-extending Lender's or Lenders' Revolving Percentage(s) of the Revolving
Commitment. Upon the execution and delivery of such documents and instruments,
the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall be extended for one additional
year. If GRC does not obtain successor Lenders but the Required Lenders have
approved the extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date pursuant to
Section 3.03(b), the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date may be extended
without the non-extending Lender(s) if GRC and the other extending Lenders
agree; provided that the Revolving Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of
the non-extending Lender's or Lenders' Revolving Percentage(s) and such
Lender(s) shall be paid all amounts owed to it or them (as applicable) prior to
the effective date of any such extension. If GRC and the other Lenders are
willing to extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date without obtaining
successor Lender(s), GRC, the Lenders willing to extend the Scheduled Commitment
Termination Date, the Facility Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall execute and
deliver such documents and instruments as shall be appropriate to evidence the
extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date and the reduction of the
Revolving Commitment. Upon the execution and delivery of such documents and
instruments, the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall be extended for an
additional one-year period.

         SECTION 3.04 Increase in Revolving Commitment. The Revolving Commitment
may be increased from time to time with the agreement of all Lenders; provided
that (i) GRC shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, dated as
of the effective date of such proposed increase, to the effect that such
increase will not adversely affect the conclusions set forth in any prior
Opinion of Counsel as to the treatment of Investor Certificates for tax
purposes; (ii) both before and after giving effect to such increase, no
Actionable Event or Unmatured Actionable Event shall have occurred and be
continuing; and (iii) the amount of Revolving Loans any Lender is obligated to
make hereunder shall not be increased without the consent of such Lender. GRC
shall give S&P notice of any such increase promptly after it shall become
effective.

                  (a) In the event the Revolving Commitment is increased and one
or more Lenders does not agree to an increase in the amount such Lender is
obligated to loan hereunder by an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of
the amount by which the Revolving Commitment is to be increased, then, on the
effective date of the increase in the Revolving Commitment, (i) the Revolving
Percentage of each such Lender shall be decreased so that the amount such Lender
is obligated to loan hereunder after the increase of the Revolving Commitment
shall be equal to the amount such Lender was obligated to loan hereunder before
the increase of the Revolving Commitment plus the additional amount such Lender
has agreed to be obligated to loan hereunder (if any); (ii) the Revolving
Percentage of each other Lender shall be increased so that it is obligated to
loan the increased amount that it has agreed to be obligated to loan; and (iii)
each Lender whose Revolving Percentage is reduced shall sell, and each Lender
whose Revolving Percentage is increased shall

                                       19            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   25

purchase, outstanding Revolving Loans in an amount so that, after giving effect
to such sales and purchases, each Lender owns its Revolving Percentage (as
adjusted pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above) of each Revolving Loan. With
respect to the Revolving Loans purchased and sold pursuant to this Section 3.04,
each selling Lender will retain the right to payment of interest accrued up to
the effective date of the increase in the Revolving Commitment. Furthermore,
each Lender whose Revolving Percentage is reduced pursuant to this Section 3.04
shall retain the right to receive unpaid accrued Commitment Fees up to the
effective date of the increase in the Revolving Commitment calculated on the
basis of such Lender's Revolving Percentage prior to such effective date.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                    PAYMENTS

         SECTION 4.01 Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder or under a Revolving Note shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and (to the extent that such payment is of principal on
the Revolving Loans) interest shall continue to accrue at the applicable rate in
effect during such extension; provided that if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of any LIBO Rate Loan to be made in the next
following month, such payment shall instead be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day; and provided further that interest accrued during such extension
with respect to a principal payment shall be paid concurrently with the payment
of such principal (in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan) or on the Interest Payment
Date occurring in the month during which such extension ends (in the case of an
Alternate Base Rate Loan).

         SECTION 4.02 Prepayments; Repayments During the Repayment Period. (a)
On any Business Day prior to the Commitment Termination Date on which the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds the
Ratable Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate, GRC shall be
obligated, subject to Section 4.04, to prepay the Revolving Loans by an amount
equal to the amount of such excess; provided that if any LIBO Rate Loan is
required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) on any day other than
the Interest Payment Date for such LIBO Rate Loan, then the amount of such
prepayment (or, if less, the portion thereof which equals the excess of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans over the Ratable
Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate on any subsequent date of
determination plus accrued interest on the principal amount represented by such
excess) shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a trust account in its
corporate trust department, for the benefit of the Lenders, for so long as the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans continues to
exceed the Ratable Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate, and,
to the extent, if any, still so held on the applicable Interest Payment Date,
such amount shall be used on such date to prepay such LIBO Rate Loan. Payments
made pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) to the Collateral Agent with respect to
LIBO Rate Loans shall include an additional amount to be held in trust pending
payment of such LIBO Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period that is
applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan, which amount shall be equal to the amount of
interest that will accrue on the

                                       20            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   26

principal amount of such prepayment through the last day of such applicable
Interest Period. On any Business Day, the amount (if any) by which (i) all
amounts which are held pursuant to the preceding sentence by the Collateral
Agent pending the end of an Interest Period, exceeds (ii) the excess of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans over the Ratable
Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate plus accrued interest on
the principal amount represented by such excess, shall be paid to GRC.

                  (b) Prepayments shall be applied first to any Revolving Loans
that constitute Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to any LIBO Rate Loans. All
prepayments of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall be
applied pro rata among the Lenders based upon their respective Revolving
Percentages, other than payments made with respect to non-extending Lenders
pursuant to Section 3.03(c).

                  (c) Subject to Section 4.04, after the commencement of the
Repayment Period, all Obligations will be due and payable on the Settlement Date
that occurs in the month following the Commitment Termination Date and on each
succeeding Settlement Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Distributions
the Collateral Agent received on such Settlement Date until all Obligations are
paid in full.

         SECTION 4.03 Application of Distributions. Except for Distributions
made with respect to prepayments being made pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and with
respect to accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid, the Facility
Agent will apply all Distributions to the Obligations then due promptly after
receipt thereof from the Collateral Agent in the following order:

              first,       to any outstanding costs and expenses of the Facility
                           Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
                           (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
                           incurred in enforcing this Agreement or any other
                           Transaction Document during the continuance of an
                           Actionable Event; provided that the amount applied
                           pursuant to this clause first with respect to any
                           Carrying Costs (other than interest on the Loans)
                           shall not exceed the amounts distributed in respect
                           of such Carrying Costs pursuant to Sections 4.02(c),
                           4.03(f) and 4.03(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
                           Agreement;

              second,      to unpaid accrued interest on the Revolving Loans;

              third,       to the unpaid principal of Alternate Base Rate Loans;

              fourth,      to the unpaid principal of LIBO Rate Loans;

              fifth,       to unpaid accrued Facility Agent Fees and Collateral
                           Agent Fees;

              sixth,       to unpaid accrued Commitment Fees; and

                                       21            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   27

              seventh,     to all other Obligations.

         If, on any day, Distributions are insufficient to satisfy all
Obligations included in a priority category described above, each such
Obligation in such priority category shall be allocated its pro rata share of
the funds available to satisfy Obligations in such priority category. Such pro
rata allocation shall be based upon the relationship that the amount owed in a
priority category to a Lender or an Agent (as applicable) bears to the aggregate
amount of all Obligations in such priority category that are owed to all Lenders
or Agents. All Obligations in any priority category shall remain unsatisfied
until the Obligations in the preceding category have been satisfied.

         SECTION 4.04 Exclusive Source of Repayment. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree to the following:

                  (i) The exclusive source of repayment for the Obligations
         shall be (A) the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate and the payments,
         rights, benefits, remedies and other interests (collectively, the
         "Collateral Agent Interests") conferred upon, or otherwise attributable
         to, the Collateral Agent as holder of the Series 2000-1 A-RI
         Certificate and (B) the claims against GRC described in clause (iii)
         below.

                  (ii) The Collateral Agent Interests include, without
         limitation, claims, exercisable through the Trustee in accordance with
         (and subject to the limitations in) the Transaction Documents, against
         GRC for breach of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and
         nothing in this Section 4.04 shall limit the Collateral Agent's ability
         to pursue such claims or to otherwise take action with respect to the
         Collateral Agent Interests.

                  (iii) GRC shall be personally liable at law and in equity for
         damages arising out of an action (or failure to act) by GRC that
         results in the occurrence of an Actionable Event described in clause
         (d) of Article IX.

Prior to the commencement of the Repayment Period, if on any day a payment of an
Obligation would, in the absence of the preceding sentence, be due, such
Obligation shall be paid on each day thereafter on which amounts in respect of
the Collateral Agent Interests ("Distributions") are received by the Collateral
Agent (to the extent of the available Distributions) until such Obligation is
paid in full. Obligations in a priority category described in Section 4.03 that
are not paid on any day because of this Section 4.04 shall be paid out of
subsequent Distributions prior to the payment of any other Obligations in the
same priority category that are owed to the same Person (other than Obligations
that previously were also not paid because of this Section 4.04).

Each Lender and Agent hereby acknowledges that the Lenders and the Agents shall
not have any personal recourse to GRC if Distributions are insufficient to
satisfy all Obligations, and GRC shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay
any amount pursuant to this Agreement except as provided in this Section 4.04.
Any amount that GRC does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding

                                       22            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   28

sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in ss.101 of the Bankruptcy
Code) against or corporate obligation of GRC for any such insufficiency.

         SECTION 4.05 Method and Place of Payment, Etc. It is contemplated that
substantially all payments made under this Agreement, the Revolving Notes, and
the other Transaction Documents will be effected by the Collateral Agent
transferring Distributions to the Facility Agent for application against the
Obligations. When any payment is required to be made with respect to any
Obligation, the Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer Distributions (to the
extent available), in an amount sufficient to make such payment, to the Facility
Agent, or, if the Facility Agent so specifies, directly to each Lender and/or
Agent to which such amount is owed. If any payments are made directly by GRC
under this Agreement or the Revolving Notes, such payments shall be made to the
Facility Agent without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 2:00
p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in
immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Any payments received by the
Facility Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next
Business Day.

                  (a) Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from
GRC or the Collateral Agent prior to the time of any scheduled payment of
interest, fees or other amounts scheduled to be paid hereunder that such amounts
will not be allocated to the Ratable Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI
Certificate, the Facility Agent may assume that such amounts have been made
available to the Facility Agent on the date of payment in accordance with this
Agreement and the Facility Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
such amounts available to the Lenders and/or the Collateral Agent (as
applicable). If and to the extent that such amounts are not allocated to the
Ratable Principal Amount of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate, each Lender and
the Collateral Agent agrees to repay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amounts, together with interest thereon, for each day from
the date such amounts are made available by the Facility Agent to the Lenders or
the Collateral Agent until the date on which the Lenders or the Collateral Agent
repay such amounts to the Facility Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate.

         SECTION 4.06 Net Payments. If any payment required to be paid by GRC,
either directly or through the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or
any Revolving Note is or will be subject to any present or future withholding or
similar tax or governmental levy (not including Excluded Taxes), the payment
shall be increased (subject to Section 4.04) so that the after-tax amount
actually received by a Lender or an Agent is equal to the payment specified
herein (or in any Revolving Note) to be paid in the absence of any such tax or
levy. GRC shall promptly furnish to each Lender all receipts or other evidence
of payment of such tax or levy.

                  (a) Each Lender which is a Non-United States Person agrees (to
the extent it is permitted to do so under the laws and any applicable double
taxation treaties of the United States, the jurisdiction of its incorporation
and the jurisdictions in which its Domestic Office and its LIBO Office are
located) to execute and deliver to the Facility Agent for delivery to the
Collateral Agent

                                       23            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   29

and GRC, before the first scheduled payment date in each year, either (i) a
United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or (ii) a United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 together with a United States Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor forms, as appropriate, properly
completed and claiming complete or partial, as the case may be, exemption from
withholding and deduction of United States Federal taxes. Each Lender which is a
Non-United States Person represents and warrants to GRC and to each Agent that,
at the date of this Agreement (or the date of the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement by which such Person became a Lender, as the case may be), (i) its
Domestic Office and its LIBO Office are entitled to receive payments of
principal, interest, and fees hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes
imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) it is
permitted to take the actions described in the preceding sentence under the laws
and any applicable double taxation treaties of the jurisdictions specified in
the preceding sentence. Each Lender which is a Non-United States Person further
agrees that, to the extent any form claiming complete or partial exemption from
withholding and deduction of United States Federal taxes delivered under this
paragraph (b) is found to be incomplete or incorrect in any material respect,
such Lender shall (to the extent it is permitted to do so under the laws and any
double taxation treaties of the United States, the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and the jurisdictions in which its Domestic Office and its LIBO
Office are located) execute and deliver to the Facility Agent a complete and
correct replacement form.

                                       26            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   32

constituting a representation and warranty by GRC that the conditions specified
below are then satisfied):

                  (a) Representations and Warranties. On the date of such
Revolving Loan and after giving effect thereto, all representations and
warranties of GRC, the Seller and the Servicer contained in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents or in any document, certificate or financial or
other statement delivered in connection herewith or therewith (except for any
such representations and warranties which (i) speak as of a specific date only
or (ii) are set forth in Section 5.1(b)(vi) of the Purchase Agreement) shall be
true and correct with the same force and effect as though such representations
and warranties had been made on such date.

                  (b) Actionable Event. On the date of such Revolving Loan and
after giving effect thereto, there shall exist no (i) Actionable Event or (ii)

prepared the Daily Report on any day in the manner described in the proviso to
the first sentence of Section 3.05(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
a result of any event described therein, the condition in this clause (d) shall
not be deemed to be satisfied unless such day is the first day on which the
Servicer's ability to prepare the Daily Report is impaired by such event.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         SECTION 6.01 GRC. In order to induce the Lenders and the Agents to
enter into this Agreement and to make Revolving Loans subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, GRC makes the following representations and
warranties to the Lenders and the Agents:

                  (a) Incorporation of Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties of GRC contained in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are true and correct on this date with the same effect as if made on
this date (except to the extent they expressly relate to an earlier date).

                                       27            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   33

                  (b) Security Interest. The execution and delivery of the
Security Agreement and the delivery of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement will vest the Collateral
Agent (for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders) with a valid and perfected
first-priority security interest in the Collateral, free and clear of all other
Liens.

         SECTION 6.02 Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to GRC that:

                  (a) Such Lender is (i) an "accredited investor" (as the term
is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act),
and (ii) by reason of its business and financial experience such Lender has such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of making Revolving Loans to
GRC. Such Lender further represents that it is able to bear the economic risk of
making such Revolving Loans and is currently able to afford the complete loss of
such investment and that such Lender has been afforded access to information
about (A) GRC and the Seller, and (B) the financial condition, results of
operations, business, property, management and prospects of GRC and the Seller
sufficient to enable it to evaluate its making of the Revolving Loans to GRC.
Such Lender acknowledges that it has received from GRC and the Seller the
information requested by it with respect to the Transaction Documents, the
Collateral and the Trust Assets.

                  (b) Such Lender acknowledges receipt of the Information
Memorandum dated July, 2000, as supplemented by the Summary of Terms dated as of
August 16, 2000 and further acknowledges that it has been afforded the
opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive
answers from, representatives of GRC and the Seller concerning the Transaction
Documents, the Collateral and the Trust Assets and the merits and risks of
entering into this Agreement and making Revolving Loans. Such Lender further
represents that it is not making the Revolving Loans in reliance upon any
investigation by any other Lender or the Agent.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                    COVENANTS

         Until all the Revolving Notes and all other Obligations shall have been
paid in full and the Lenders no longer have any Revolving Commitment hereunder,
GRC agrees that:

         SECTION 7.01 Affirmative Covenants. GRC will deliver (a) to the
Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent copies of all Settlement Statements and
all other notices, financial statements, certificates, reports and other similar
writings which GRC receives or delivers to the holder of the Series 2000-1 A-RI

of all Settlement Statements delivered pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

unaudited balance sheet of GRC as of the end of such quarter and related
unaudited statements of income and cash flows, in each case for the fiscal

footnotes), and (ii) concurrently with GRC's receipt thereof, the financial
statements of the Seller that the Seller delivers to GRC pursuant to Section
6.2(a) of the Purchase Agreement; and

                  (b) GRC will furnish to each Agent and Lender, (i) as soon as
available and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
GRC, an unaudited balance sheet of GRC as of the end of such year and statements

in comparative form the corresponding figures for the preceding fiscal year
(except for the first fiscal year of GRC) and prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, and (ii) concurrently with GRC's receipt thereof, the
financial statements of the Seller that the Seller delivers to GRC pursuant to
Section 6.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement.

                  (c) Concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements
referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7.02, GRC will furnish to
each Lender a certificate of an Authorized Officer of GRC to the effect that no
Actionable Event or Unmatured Actionable Event has occurred and is continuing,
or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, describing the nature of
such event and the steps being taken to cure it.

         SECTION 7.03 Collateral. GRC will not sell, assign, pledge or transfer
the Collateral or contract for, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien of any nature upon the Collateral whether now owned or hereafter acquired
except as permitted under the Security Agreement.

         SECTION 7.04 Incorporation of Covenants. GRC will observe and perform
all of the covenants and agreements in all of the Transaction Documents to which

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

         SECTION 8.01 Distributions. The Collateral Agent shall direct that all
Distributions be paid to a trust account maintained in the Collateral Agent's

be held in trust for the Lenders and the Agents until transferred (i) to

                                       29            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   35
the Facility Agent for application to the Obligations, or (ii) directly to the
Lenders and/or the Agents as payment for the Obligations at the direction of the
Facility Agent. All such payments to the Lenders shall be made without set-off
or counterclaim.

         SECTION 8.02 Eligible Investments. If the Collateral Agent receives any
Distribution on a day on which the Collateral Agent is not required to transfer
Distributions to the Facility Agent for application in payment of the
Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall invest such Distribution in Eligible
Investments from the day on which the Collateral Agent receives any such
Distribution to the day on which, or (in the discretion of the Collateral
Agent), the day immediately prior to the day on which, the Collateral Agent is
required to transfer such Distribution to, or at the direction of, the Facility
Agent. Provided no Obligations are due and payable hereunder, any earnings on
such investments will be paid to GRC promptly after the Collateral Agent's
receipt of such earnings unless the Repayment Period shall have commenced, in
which event such earnings shall be transferred to the Facility Agent for
application against the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or, at the direction of the Facility Agent, directly to the Lenders
and/or the Agents in payment of the Obligations.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                ACTIONABLE EVENTS

         SECTION 9.01 Actionable Events. The occurrence of each of the following
events shall constitute an actionable event (each, an "Actionable Events") under
this Agreement:

                  (a)  A Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be
continuing;

                  (b)  Failure by GRC to observe or perform any covenant or
agreement contained in Section 7.03;

                  (c) Failure by GRC to observe or perform any other covenant or
agreement contained herein or in any other Transaction Document and not
constituting an Actionable Event under any other clause of this Article IX and
such failure shall continue for 30 Business Days after GRC shall have been given
written notice of such failure by the Facility Agent; or

                  (d) The Collateral Agent shall for any reason cease to have,
or shall not have received, a valid and perfected first-priority security
interest in the Collateral or proceedings shall have commenced and be continuing
to foreclose upon any Lien on any of the Collateral.

         SECTION 9.02 Remedies under the Loan Agreement. If any Actionable Event
shall continue unremedied, the Facility Agent shall, at the written request of
the Required Lenders, by written notice to GRC, declare the Commitment
Termination Date to have occurred without further notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by GRC, anything contained herein or in any
Revolving Note to the contrary notwithstanding; provided that, in the case of an
Actionable

                                       30            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   36

Event described in Section 9.01(a), the Required Lenders may only declare the
Commitment Termination Date to have occurred if, contemporaneously with any such
declaration, a vote of the Required Lenders is being taken pursuant to Section
9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement concerning the declaration of the
Liquidation Commencement Date; and provided further that, in the case of an
Actionable Event described in Section 9.01(a), the Commitment Termination Date
shall be deemed to have occurred automatically without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind if such Actionable Event arises because of
the automatic commencement of the Liquidation Period under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 9.03 Remedies Under Security Agreement. Without limiting
anything provided in Section 9.02, if any Actionable Event shall continue
unremedied, the Collateral Agent may, at the direction of the Majority Lenders,
exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in the Security Agreement,
provided, however, that:

                  (a) in connection with any waiver or other action relating to
any Transaction Document which requires the affirmative vote of 100% of the
holders of Investor Certificates, the Collateral Agent may only exercise such
rights and remedies upon the direction of 100% of the Lenders;

                  (b) in connection with any waiver or other action relating to
any Transaction Document which requires the affirmative vote of the Required
Investors or the Required Series Holders, the Collateral Agent may only exercise
such rights and remedies upon the direction of the Required Lenders;

                  (c) the Collateral Agent shall not vote to waive a Liquidation
Event of the type described in Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement without the consent of all Lenders;

                  (d) the Collateral Agent shall not vote to amend, modify or
waive any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which requires the
approval or consent of a specified percentage of the holders of Investor
Certificates without the consent of the same percentage of Lenders; provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent shall not vote in favor of any amendment,
modification or waiver described in Section 13.01(b)(vii) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement without the consent of all Lenders; and

                  (e) the Collateral Agent may only agree to extend the
then-scheduled maturity of the Series 2000-1 A-RI Certificate in accordance with
Section 3.03 hereof.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                   THE AGENTS

         SECTION 10.01 Appointment of the Facility Agent; No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Each Lender hereby appoints Bankers Trust Company, as the
Facility Agent hereunder, and hereby

                                       31            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   37

authorizes the Facility Agent to take such action on its behalf and to give
consents, approvals and directions, and to exercise such other rights, remedies,
powers and privileges hereunder as are specifically authorized to be exercised
by, or expressly delegated to, the Facility Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Facility Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or
through agents, affiliates or employees. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
constitute the Facility Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or impose on
the Facility Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision
is made herein. The Facility Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities
except as expressly set forth herein and no implied covenants, functions or
responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement as to the Facility Agent.

                  (a) Except as required by the specific terms of this
Agreement, the Facility Agent shall not have any duty to exercise any right,
power, remedy or privilege granted to it hereby, or to take any affirmative
action or exercise any discretion hereunder unless directed to do so by the
Required Lenders (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from
acting pursuant to such directions, the Lenders hereby agreeing that such
directions shall be binding upon all of the Lenders); provided that the Facility
Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Facility Agent
to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or applicable law.

                  (b) The provisions of this Article X are solely for the
benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and GRC and none of the Seller, the Servicer,
the Trustee or any Investor shall have any rights under this Article X as a
third party beneficiary. Except to the extent set forth herein and in
the other Transaction Documents, the Agents assume no obligations with respect
to the Trust, the Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective
Affiliates (other than GRC).

         SECTION 10.02 Appointment of Collateral Agent. The Facility Agent and
each Lender hereby appoints LaSalle Bank National Association as the Collateral
Agent hereunder, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action
on its behalf and to give consents, approvals and directions, and to exercise
such other rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and under the
Security Agreement as are specifically authorized to be exercised by, or
expressly delegated to, the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder
by or through agents, affiliates or employees. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
constitute the Collateral Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or impose
on the Collateral Agent any obligations other than those for which express
provision is made herein. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except as expressly set forth herein and in the Security
Agreement and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities shall be read
into this Agreement or the Security Agreement as to the Collateral Agent.

                  (a) Except as required by the specific terms of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the duty to transfer Distributions to the
Facility Agent pursuant to the terms of this

                                       32            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   38

Agreement), the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to exercise any right,
power, remedy or privilege granted to it hereby, or to take any affirmative
action or exercise any discretion hereunder unless directed to do so by all the
Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders (as required by this
Agreement or the Security Agreement, as the case may be) (and shall be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting pursuant to such directions, the
Lenders hereby agreeing that such directions shall be binding upon all of the
Lenders); provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any
action which the Collateral Agent determines in its reasonable discretion would
expose the Collateral Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The Collateral
Agent agrees (i) to provide each Lender with each Daily Report it receives
promptly upon receipt, and (ii) at the request and cost of any Lender, to
request from the Trustee all reports, statements or other documents which the
Collateral Agent is entitled to receive under the Series 2000-1 A-RI
Supplemental Issuance Agreement and provide such reports, statements or other
documents to the requesting Lenders promptly upon receipt.

         SECTION 10.03 Exculpation. None of the Facility Agent, the Collateral
Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall
be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any
of them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; nor shall either Agent be
responsible to any Lender for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or
enforceability against the Obligors, the Seller, the Servicer or GRC of the
Receivables, this Agreement, the Revolving Notes or any other Transaction
Document or any other document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith. Without limitation of the generality of the
foregoing, each Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for
the Seller, the Servicer or GRC), independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender
and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or any other document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto
or in connection herewith or therewith; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement, the Revolving Notes or any other Transaction
Document on the part of any party hereto or thereto (including, without
limitation, the existence or possible existence of any Actionable Event,
Liquidation Event or comparable event) or to inspect the property (including the
books and records) of GRC, the Servicer or the Seller; (d) shall not be
responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the
Revolving Notes or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by: (i)
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument, communication,
conversation or writing (which may be by telegram, facsimile or telex) or
telephonic instruction or notices to the extent authorized herein or therein
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons,
or (ii) acting in accordance with the direction of the

                                       33            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   39

Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders (as applicable).
Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Actionable Event,
Liquidation Event or any comparable event unless it has received actual notice
thereof. Neither Agent shall be liable to any Lender for the acts or omissions
of its agents that such Agent has selected with reasonable care.

         SECTION 10.04 Indemnification. Each Lender hereby agrees, in the ratio
that such Lender's Revolving Percentage bears to 100%, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses,
liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments,
demands, damages, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and experts)
incurred by or assessed against such Agent in its capacity as Agent hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document as a result of any action taken or omitted
to be taken by such Agent in such capacity or otherwise incurred by, made upon,
or assessed against such Agent in its capacity as Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees, in the ratio aforesaid,
to reimburse each of the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly
following such Agent's demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by such Agent hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document and not promptly reimbursed to such Agent
by GRC. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04, no
Lender shall be liable or have an obligation to reimburse an Agent for any
portion of any such losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties),
actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs, expenses or fees resulting
from or attributable to gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the
part of such Agent or its directors, officers, employees and agents. No payment
by a Lender under this Section 10.04 shall reduce the amount of the Revolving
Loans such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make hereunder or shall create
an obligation of the Collateral Agent to advance Distributions to such Lender.
Each Lender's obligations under this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the discharge of GRC's obligations hereunder. Neither
Agent need take any action which in such Agent's sole judgment would result in
or present a material risk of incurring liability unless it receives concurrence
of the Required Lenders and indemnification hereunder to the satisfaction of
such Agent therefor. If any indemnity furnished is insufficient or becomes
impaired, either of the Agents (as applicable) may call for an additional
indemnity.

         SECTION 10.05 Agents as Lenders. The Lenders agree that with respect to
their obligation to lend under this Agreement, the Revolving Loans made by them
and the Revolving Notes issued to them, to the extent any Agent is also a Lender
hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any
other Lender or holder of a Revolving Note and may exercise the same as though
it were not performing the duties of the Facility Agent or Collateral Agent that
are specified herein; and the terms "Lenders," "Majority Lenders", "Required
Lenders," "holders of Notes," or any similar term shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include the Facility Agent and/or the Collateral
Agent in their capacities as a Lender hereunder. Each Agent may accept deposits
from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other
business with GRC, the Servicer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates as if it
were not performing the duties

                                       34            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   40

specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from GRC, the
Servicer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates for services in connection with
this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to any
Lender.

         SECTION 10.06 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
based on such financial information and other documents, information and
investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, based on
such other documents, information, and investigations as it shall deem
appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to
exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges
available to it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

         SECTION 10.07 Resignation by an Agent. Either Agent acting hereunder at
any time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed and delivered to each
Lender, the other Agent, GRC, the Servicer and the Seller upon 30 days' notice
and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an instrument in
writing duly executed by or on behalf of the Majority Lenders. Subject to the
provisions of Section 10.11, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor to such Agent upon any such resignation or removal by an
instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of applicable law,
or, in the absence of any such requirements, without formality other than
appointment and designation in writing; provided, however, unless an Actionable
Event or Unmatured Actionable Event has occurred and is continuing, GRC must
consent to such appointment; and provided, further that such consent of GRC may
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such resignation or removal shall not
be effective until the appointment of and acceptance by the successor Agent,
which acceptance shall not occur until such successor Agent is able to perform
the duties of such Agent hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be discharged
from its duties or obligations hereunder until the Collateral and the documents
and instruments then held by the Collateral Agent shall have been transferred or
delivered to the successor Collateral Agent, and such retiring Collateral Agent
and GRC shall have executed and delivered appropriate instruments substituting
such successor Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact of GRC for purposes of this
Agreement and the Security Agreement and assigning the retiring Collateral
Agent's security interests and all other interests (if any) in the Collateral to
the successor Collateral Agent. The Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Facility Agent or
Collateral Agent. Each Agent agrees to cooperate to provide a smooth and orderly
transition of the duties of Facility Agent or Collateral Agent (as applicable)
hereunder to the successor Agent.

                  (a) Upon the making and acceptance of such appointment, the
execution and delivery by such successor Agent of a ratifying instrument
pursuant to which such successor Agent agrees to assume the duties and
obligations imposed on the Facility Agent or Collateral Agent (as applicable) by
the terms of this Agreement, and, if applicable, the delivery to any successor
Collateral Agent of the Collateral and documents and instruments then held by
the retiring Collateral Agent and the payment of all fees and amounts due and
owing to the retiring Agent, such successor

                                       35            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   41

Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights,
powers, remedies, privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations
hereby granted to or conferred or imposed upon the relevant Agent named herein;
provided that any such appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right
to appoint and designate further successor Agents hereunder.

                  (b) Subject to Section 10.07(a), if no successor Facility
Agent or Collateral Agent shall be appointed as aforesaid or, if appointed,
shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days after the notice of
resignation or removal of the Facility Agent or Collateral Agent, then, subject
to the provisions of Section 10.11, the Majority Lenders (or, if the applicable
Agent is resigning, such resigning Agent) may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Facility Agent or Collateral
Agent (as applicable).

                  (c) Each successor Agent shall provide GRC, the Servicer, the
Seller and each Lender with its address and telephone, telecopy and telex
numbers, to be used for purposes of Section 11.06, in a notice complying with
the terms of such Section. Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of any
Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article X shall continue to inure to the
benefit of such Agent in its capacity as such while it was an Agent under this
Agreement.

         SECTION 10.08 Qualifications of Collateral Agent. Any Collateral Agent
at any time acting hereunder must at all times be a bank or trust company having
its principal office in the District of Columbia or one of the States of the
United States of America, be authorized to accept deposits and offer checking
account facilities and have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 11.01 Exercise of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of
the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between GRC and
the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement or any abandonment or discontinuation of steps to
enforce such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which either of the Agents or any of the Lenders would
otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any
case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other
party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand.

         SECTION 11.02 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may
be amended, waived, supplemented, restated, discharged or terminated with the
written consent of GRC

                                       36            Revolving Credit Agreement
<PAGE>   42

and the Lenders herein required for such action; provided that, if the requisite
number of Lenders for any such action is not specified elsewhere in this
Agreement, the written consent of the Required Lenders must be obtained for any
such action, provided, further, that the written consent of all the Lenders is
required in order to (a) release or subordinate the Collateral Agent's interest
in any of the Collateral, (b) decrease the fees or interest rates payable on the
Revolving Loans, (c) waive the payment of any principal of, or interest or fees
on, any Revolving Loans, or (d) change the definition of "Majority Lenders" or
"Required Lenders" or amend this Section 11.02; and provided, further, that (i)
the provisions of Article X and any other provisions of this Agreement that
confer rights or benefits, or impose obligations, on an Agent may not be amended
with respect to such Agent without the consent of such Agent, and (ii) no
Lender's commitment to make Revolving Loans hereunder may be increased or
extended without such Lender's consent. GRC shall promptly deliver to each Agent
a copy of each amendment or waiver effected without such Agent's consent.

         SECTION 11.03  Expenses and Indemnification.  Subject to Section 4.04:

                  (a) GRC shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of the Facility
Agent and the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, amendment, modification or waiver of, and
of the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender in connection with
the enforcement of, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the
making and repayment of the Revolving Loans.

                  (b) GRC shall pay, and save the Lenders harmless from all
liability for, any future stamp taxes (including interest, penalties and fees)
which may be payable in connection with this Agreement, the Borrowings
hereunder, any other Transaction Document or the issuance of the Revolving Notes
or any modification of any of the foregoing.

                  (c) GRC shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the
Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each director, officer, employee, agent
and Affiliate thereof from and against all liabilities, costs or reasonable
expenses to which such Lender, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or such
director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate may become subject, insofar as
such liabilities, costs or expenses (or actions, suits or proceedings giving
rise thereto, including any inquiry or investigation or claims in respect
thereof) arise out of, in any way relate to, or result from the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (ii)
reimburse each of the Lenders, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each
such director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate upon their demand, for any
reasonable legal or other reasonable expenses (including the allocated costs of
staff counsel) incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, suit or
proceeding; provided, however, that no Lender, the Facility Agent or the
Collateral Agent shall have any right to be so indemnified hereunder for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that the undertaking to

maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law,
to the payment and satisfaction of all liabilities, costs and reasonable
expenses incurred by the Lenders, the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent
for which such Persons would otherwise be entitled to indemnity hereunder.

                  (d) All obligations arising under this Section 11.03 shall
survive for a period of three years after the termination of the Trust pursuant
to Section 12.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 11.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) This Agreement shall bind,
and the benefits hereof shall inure to, GRC, the Facility Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns; provided that
GRC may not transfer or assign any or all of its rights and/or Obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and S&P; provided,
further, that no Lender shall assign any of its rights and/or obligations
hereunder, including its rights under a Revolving Note, to any Person unless (i)
the prior written consent of GRC and the Facility Agent shall have been
obtained, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) the
Facility Agent shall have received prior written notice of such assignment and
an assignment fee of $3,000, (iii) such assignor assigns an amount equal to at
least $5,000,000, (iv) after giving effect to the assignment the assignor
retains an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 or has assigned its entire
interest and (v) prior to the effective date of such assignment, such assignee
executes and delivers to GRC and the Facility Agent a written agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. Notwithstanding anything else
contained in this Section 11.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder; provided, further, that with regard to assignments made
by a Conduit to its related Committed Lender, such assignment shall be effective
upon the fulfillment of subclause (v) only.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (a) above,
each Lender may sell participations in all or any part of any Revolving Loan or
Revolving Loans to another Lender or other Person so long as (i) no such grant
of a participation shall, without the consent of GRC, require GRC to file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to
qualify the Revolving Notes under the "blue sky" laws of any State, (ii) no
holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of such Lender, shall
be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder,
except that such Lender may agree with such participant that such Lender will
not, without such participant's consent, consent to an amendment, modification
or waiver referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of Section 11.02, (iii) such
sale is in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000, (iv) after giving effect to
the sale, the selling Lender retains an amount equal to $5,000,000 and (v) the
provisions of clause (a) of Article VIII shall have been satisfied with respect
to such sale. A participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the
other Transaction Documents (the participant's rights against such Lender in
respect of a participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by
such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto), except that GRC
acknowledges and agrees that the participant shall have rights under Sections
2.08, 2.09

                                       38            Revolving Credit Agreement

and 2.10 as if it were a Lender hereunder; provided that no such participant
shall be entitled to receive any greater payment pursuant to such Sections than
the transferor Lender would have received with respect to the applicable amount
of such participation had no such participation been sold. Each Lender will give
the Facility Agent and GRC notice of each sale of any such participation by such
Lender.

                  (c) A Lender may furnish any information concerning GRC and
the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees
and participants (including to prospective assignees and participants); provided
that all recipients of such information must agree, prior to the disclosure of
any such information to it, to be bound by the terms and provisions of Section
13.16 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement hereof.

                  (d) The parties hereby acknowledge that substantially all of
the proceeds of the Revolving Loans will be used by GRC to purchase Receivables
from the Seller.

Section 2.02 of the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of September 24, 1993,
as amended and restated as of ___________, 2000 (the "Revolving Credit

("GRC"), the financial institutions that are, or may hereafter become, parties
thereto (the "Lenders"), Bankers Trust Company, as the facility agent (in such
capacity, the "Facility Agent") and LaSalle Bank National Association, as the
collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent") for
the Lenders. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

                  GRC hereby requests that the following Revolving Loans be
                  made:

                  Borrowing Date:           [                        ]

                  Amount of the Loan:       [                        ]

                  Type:                     [LIBO Rate Loans or Alternate Base

                  GRC agrees that if, prior to the time of the making of the
Revolving Loans requested hereby, any representation or warranty that Article V
of the Revolving Credit Agreement requires GRC to make in connection with the
requested Revolving Loans will not be true and correct at such date as if then
made, then GRC will immediately so notify the Facility Agent. Except to the
extent that, prior to the time of the making of the Revolving Loans requested
hereby, the Facility Agent shall receive written notice to the contrary from
GRC, each representation and warranty that Article V of the Revolving Credit
Agreement requires GRC to make in connection with the making of Revolving Loans
to it shall be deemed to have been made by GRC at the date of such Revolving
Loans as if then made.

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Gaylord Receivables Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("GRC"), promises to pay to the order of _________ (the "Lender"),
for the account of its applicable lending office, at the office of Bankers Trust
Company (the "Facility Agent") at 31 W. 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019,
the principal sum of _________ Dollars ($_________) or, if less, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to GRC
pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), together
with interest on the principal balance remaining from time to time unpaid at the
rate provided below. The principal indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be due
and payable on the dates and in the amounts specified in the Revolving Credit
Agreement and in no event later than the Stated Maturity Date (as defined in the
Revolving Credit Agreement).

         GRC also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof
from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until the repayment thereof
at the rates per annum specified in Section 2.06 of the Revolving Credit
Agreement, said interest to be payable to the Lender at the aforesaid office of
the Facility Agent on such dates as are specified in the Revolving Credit
Agreement.

         Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money
of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.

         This Revolving Note evidences the indebtedness incurred under, and is
subject to the terms and provisions of and entitled to the benefits of, the
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August __, 2000 (as
so amended, and as further amended, supplemented, amended and restated or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Revolving Credit Agreement"), among
GRC, certain financial institutions (including the Lender), the Facility Agent
and the Collateral Agent. Reference is hereby made to the Revolving Credit
Agreement for a statement of its terms and provisions. All capitalized terms
which are used herein, are not otherwise specifically defined herein and are
defined in Revolving Credit Agreement, shall for purposes of this Revolving Note
have the meanings specified in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

         This Revolving Note is secured by the Collateral defined in and
pursuant to the provisions of that certain Amended and Restated Security
Agreement (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "Security Agreement"), dated as of August __, 2000,
between GRC and the Collateral Agent.

<PAGE>   64

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Lender's right to
receive payments hereunder is limited to the right to receive a proportionate
share of payments and proceeds with respect to the Collateral except as set
forth in Section 4.04 of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

         In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing and the
provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement, but subject to Section 4.04
thereof, GRC further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by
applicable law, to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses, incurred by the holder of this Revolving Note in endeavoring to
collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due.

         The Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on the
Schedule attached to this Revolving Note of the date and the amount of each
Revolving Loan and the date and the amount of the payment of principal thereon,
which notation shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and prior
to any transfer of this Revolving Note, the Lender shall endorse the outstanding
principal amount of this Revolving Note on the Schedule attached hereto;
provided, however, that failure to make such notation or any error in such
notation shall not adversely affect the Lender's rights with respect to the
Revolving Loans.

         All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers or otherwise,
severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor.

         This Revolving Note shall be deemed to be a contract made under the
laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to
the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of New York.
