          2. COMMITMENTS OF LENDER.

          2.1. COMMITMENTS TO MAKE LOANS. Subject to the terms and conditions
     set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such
     loan, a "Loan") to the Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day
     during the Revolving Credit Period; provided, however, that (a) prior to
     the occurrence of the Syndication Event, after giving effect to all amounts
     requested, the Aggregate Note Principal Balance shall not exceed the lesser
     of (i) the Pre-Syndication Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Asset Base,
     calculated after giving effect to the Eligible Containers and Eligible
     Chassis, if any, to be acquired with the proceeds of such Loan and (b) from
     and after the occurrence of the Syndication Event, after giving effect to
     all amounts requested, the Aggregate Note Principal Balance shall not
     exceed the lesser of (i) Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Asset Base,
     calculated after giving effect to the Eligible Containers and Eligible
     Chassis, if any, to be acquired with the proceeds of such Loan. Loans shall
     be LIBOR Rate Loans or, under the circumstances set forth in Section 5.4 or
     Section 5.5 hereof, a Base Rate Loan.

          2.2. REQUESTS FOR LOAN. The Borrowers shall give to the Administrative
     Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or telephonic notice
     confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit E hereto) of each Loan
     requested hereunder (a "Loan Request") no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York
     time) three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to any proposed Funding Date.
     Each such Loan Request shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Loan
     requested, (ii) the proposed Funding Date of such Loan and (iii) the
     Interest Period for such Loan. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and
     binding on the Borrowers and shall obligate the Borrowers to accept the
     Loan, as the case may be, requested from the Lenders on the proposed
     Funding Date. Each Loan Request shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of
     $1,000,000. No Loan Request shall be permitted to request any Loan on or
     after the Availability Termination Date, on which date any unfunded portion
     of the Commitments shall terminate, automatically and without notice or
     action of any kind.

          2.3. THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES. The Loans shall be evidenced by
     separate promissory notes of the Borrowers in substantially the form of
     Exhibit F hereto (each a "Revolving Credit Note"), dated as of the
     Restatement Effective



                                      -44-


     Date (or such other date on which a Lender may become a party hereto in
     accordance with Section 15 hereof) and completed with appropriate
     insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each
     Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender's Commitment to make
     Loans or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Lender,
     plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrowers
     irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about
     the time of the Funding Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any
     payment of principal on such Lender's Revolving Credit Note, an appropriate
     notation on such Lender's Revolving Credit Note Record reflecting the
     making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.
     The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on such Lender's Revolving
     Credit Note Record shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of
     the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the
     failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such
     Lender's Revolving Credit Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect
     the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Revolving Credit
     Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit
     Note when due.

          2.4. TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. The Borrowers may, upon
     notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or
     from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided
     that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not
     later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the
     date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be
     in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
     excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the
     Aggregate Commitments prior to the Availability Termination Date if, after
     giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
     Aggregate Note Principal Balance would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.
     The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such
     notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any
     reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment
     of each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage. All fees accrued
     until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Aggregate
     Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or
     reduction.

          2.5. REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF LOANS. (a) Subject to the provisions of
     Section 13.1 hereof relating to the acceleration of the Revolving Credit
     Notes and the other Obligations hereunder, the Borrowers shall pay to each
     Lender on each Payment Date, as a principal payment on its Revolving Credit
     Note in an amount equal to its pro rata share of (i) the Asset Base
     Deficiency (if any) for such Payment Date and (ii) any amount required to
     be repaid in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2.1 hereof. The
     unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest and other amounts
     owing on, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Notes shall be payable
     in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the Availability Termination Date
     and (y) the date on which the Revolving Credit Notes and the



                                      -45-


     other Obligations have been declared due and payable in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 13.1 hereof.

          2.6. FUNDING BY LENDERS; PRESUMPTION BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Unless
     the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
     the proposed Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to the
     Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such requested Loan, the
     Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
     available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1, and may, in reliance
     upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding
     amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
     applicable requested Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the
     applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
     demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with
     interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
     made available to the Borrowers to, but excluding, the date of payment to
     the Administrative Agent, at, in the case of a payment to be made by such
     Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
     Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
     compensation. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the
     Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such
     Lender's portion of the requested Loan.

          2.7. FAILURE TO SATISFY CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. If any Lender makes
     available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such
     Lender as provided in the provisions of this Credit Agreement, and such
     funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent
     because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Sections 11 and
     12 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
     Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received
     from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

          2.8. OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS SEVERAL. The obligations of the Lenders
     hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to this Credit
     Agreement are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any
     Loan or to make any payment under this Credit Agreement on any date
     required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
     obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for
     the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment
     under this Credit Agreement.

          2.9. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY. The credit facility evidenced by this
     Credit Agreement is a revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the Borrowers
     will, subject to compliance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, have
     the right during the Revolving Credit Period to reborrow any amounts repaid
     to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.



                                      -46-


          3. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATION.

          3.1. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATION. Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees
     that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations,
     regardless of the actual allocation of the proceeds of the Loans among the
     Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers accepts joint and several liability for
     all Obligations hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation
     to be provided by the Lenders to each of the Borrowers under this Credit
     Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each
     Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings by each other Borrower to
     accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

          Each Borrower jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
     unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor,
     joint and several liability with each Borrower with respect to the payment
     and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the
     parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several
     obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction
     among them.

          If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment
     with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of
     the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such
     event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or
     perform, such Obligations.

          The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section
     3.1 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable
     against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of
     the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any
     other Loan Document against any other Borrower or any other circumstances
     whatsoever that under applicable law might constitute a defense to the
     joint and several Obligations of such other Borrower.

          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby
     waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of
     any and all Obligations incurred hereunder or under any other Loan
     Document, notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or
     of any demand for any payment hereunder or any other Loan Document, notice
     of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or
     any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement
     of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of
     every kind in connection with the Obligations, this Credit Agreement or any
     other Loan Document. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of,
     any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the
     Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver,
     consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any



                                      -47-


     Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in
     the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or
     provision hereunder or under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
     Document, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative
     Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking,
     addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or
     times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition,
     substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any
     other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the
     Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any
     failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy
     or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which
     might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.1, afford grounds for
     terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part,
     from any of its obligations under this Section 3.1, it being the intention
     of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations remain
     unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower shall not be discharged
     except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
     Obligations of each Borrower shall not be diminished or rendered
     unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation,
     reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or
     the other Lender. The joint and several liability of each Borrower
     hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
     absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the
     name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any other Borrower.

          The provisions of this Section 3.1 are made for the benefit of the
     Administrative Agent and each Lender and their successors and assigns, and
     may be enforced by such party from time to time against any Borrower as
     often as occasion therefore may arise and without requirement on the part
     of the Administrative Agent or any Lender first to marshal any of its
     claims or to exercise any of its rights against any other Borrower or to
     exhaust any remedies available to it against any other Borrower or to
     resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the
     Obligations or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section
     3.1 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid
     in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any
     part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or
     must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any
     Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower,
     or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 3.1 will forthwith be
     reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.



                                      -48-

          at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate and (ii)
          the Applicable Margin.

     The Borrowers promise to pay interest on the Loans or any portion thereof
     outstanding during each Interest Period in arrears on each Payment Date.

          (b) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Loan
     exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If at any time the
     interest rate charged with respect to a Loan exceeds the maximum rate
     permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to
     such Loan shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

          4.1.2. AMOUNTS. Any portion of the Loans bearing interest based on the
     LIBOR Rate relating to any Interest Period shall be in the amount of
     $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof. No Interest Period relating to a
     Loan or any portion thereof bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate shall extend
     beyond August 1, 2008.

          4.2. MANDATORY REPAYMENTS OF THE LOANS.

          4.2.1. REPAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSET BASE DEFICIENCY. On
     each Payment Date, the Borrowers shall, repay the Loans to the extent of
     the then existing Asset Base Deficiency, if any. Any such repayment
     pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2.1 shall not be subject to
     the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof.

          4.2.2. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments made pursuant to Section
     4.2.1 or Section 4.3, shall be applied pro rata among the Loans.

          4.3. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT OF LOANS. The Borrowers shall have the right
     at any time to prepay one or more of the Loans on or before the
     Availability



                                      -49-


     Termination Date, as a whole, or in part, upon delivery of written notice
     to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
     on the Business Day prior to such prepayment, without premium or penalty,
     provided that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount
     of $1,000,000 or multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) in the
     event that any LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid at any time other than the end of
     an Interest Period applicable thereto (a "Breakage Prepayment"), the
     Borrowers shall pay, upon demand, to each Lender an amount equal to such
     Lender's Breakage Cost. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
     Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
     Lender's Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. Any prepayment of
     principal of a Loan shall include all interest accrued to the date of
     prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the
     Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.

          4.4. PAYMENTS BY BORROWER; PRESUMPTIONS BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
     Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
     Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the
     Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
     that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance
     herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
     Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact
     made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to
     the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to
     such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each
     day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
     excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater
     of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
     in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A
     notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with
     respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.4 shall be conclusive,
     absent manifest error.

          4.5. SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS. If any Lender shall, by
     exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
     in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it
     resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the
     aggregate amount of such Loans or and accrued interest thereon greater than
     its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving
     such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such
     fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
     of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable,
     so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders
     ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
     interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided
     that:



                                      -50-


          (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
     the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
     rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
     without interest; and

          (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
     (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with
     the express terms of this Credit Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a
     Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in
     any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the
     Borrowers or any of their Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this
     Section shall apply).

          The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they
     may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
     participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against
     the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
     participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the
     Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

          4.6. FUNDING SOURCE. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any
     Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
     or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or
     will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

          5. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

          5.1. FEES.

          5.1.1. COMMITMENT FEE. The Borrowers agree to pay on each Payment Date
     during the Revolving Credit Period to the Administrative Agent for the
     accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment
     Percentages a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") calculated at the rate
     of three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum on the average daily
     amount during the related Collection Period by which (a) prior to the
     occurrence of the Syndication Event, the Pre-Syndication Aggregate
     Commitment in respect of the Loan exceeds the Aggregate Note Principal
     Balance, and (b) from and after the occurrence of the Syndication Event,
     the Aggregate Commitment in respect of the Loan exceeds the Aggregate Note
     Principal Balance. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on each
     Payment Date for the immediately preceding Collection Period commencing on
     the first such date following the date hereof, with a final payment on the
     expiration or termination of the Revolving Credit Period.

          5.1.2. OTHER FEES. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
     for its own account fees in the amount and at the times specified in the
     Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
     refundable for any reason whatsoever. The Borrowers shall also pay to the
     Lenders such fees as shall



                                      -51-


     have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times
     so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
     refundable for any reason whatsoever.

          5.2. FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS.

          5.2.1. PAYMENTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. All payments of principal,
     interest, Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the
     other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the
     Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders and the
     Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office or at such other
     place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate, in
     each case at or about 11:00 a.m. (New York time or other local time at the
     place of payment) and in immediately available funds.

          5.2.2. NO OFFSET, ETC.

          (a) Subject to Section 5.2.3, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder
     and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without recoupment,
     setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any
     taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to tax), levies,
     imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans,
     restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied
     by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other
     authority therein unless the Borrowers are compelled by law to make such
     deduction or withholding. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed upon the
     Borrowers with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any
     of the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative
     Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the
     Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable
     hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in
     Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative
     Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the
     Administrative Agent would have received on such due date had no such
     Non-Excluded Taxes been imposed upon the Borrowers. The Borrowers will
     deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid
     vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect
     to payments made by the Borrowers under such other Loan Document.

          (b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay to the relevant
     Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or
     future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
     charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage
     recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United
     States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any
     payment made hereunder ("Other Taxes").



                                      -52-


          (c) Subject to Section 5.2.3, the Borrowers agree to indemnify the
     Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded
     Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes,
     and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
     therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that the Lenders or the
     Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have provided the Borrowers
     with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, of payment of
     Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

          (d) Any Lender or the Administrative Agent that becomes entitled to
     the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a) or
     indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2.2(c) shall use reasonable efforts
     (consistent with applicable law) to file any document reasonably requested
     by the relevant Borrower or, if a Lender, to change the jurisdiction of its
     applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change of
     office, as the case may be, would avoid the need for or reduce the amount
     of any payment of such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and
     would not, in the good faith determination of such Lender or the
     Administrative Agent, as applicable, be disadvantageous to it.

          (e) If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives any refund with
     respect to taxes for which the Borrowers have paid any additional amounts
     pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a)U, then such Lender or the Administrative
     Agent, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the Borrowers the portion of
     the sum of such refund and any interest received with respect thereto as it
     determines, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, will leave it, after
     such payment, in no better or worse financial position than it would have
     been absent the imposition of such taxes and the payment of such additional
     amounts pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a)U; provided, however, that (i) the
     Borrowers agree to promptly return any amount paid to the Borrowers
     pursuant to this Section 5.2.2(d)U upon notice from such Lender or the
     Administrative Agent, as applicable, that such refund or any portion
     thereof is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority, (ii)
     nothing in this Section 5.2.2(e) shall require a Lender to disclose any
     confidential information to the Borrowers (including, without limitation,
     its tax returns), and (iii) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts
     pursuant to this Section 5.2.2(e) at any time which a Default or Event of
     Default exists (provided, that, upon the waiver or cure of any such Default
     or Event of Default, all such amounts that would otherwise be required to
     be paid pursuant to this Section 5.2.2(e) but for the effect of this clause
     (iii) shall be promptly so paid).

          (f) If the Borrowers determine in good faith that a reasonable basis
     exists for contesting any Non-Excluded Taxes for which additional amounts
     have been paid pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a), the relevant Lender or
     Administrative Agent (to the extent such Person reasonably determines in
     good faith that it will not suffer any adverse effect as a result thereof)
     shall cooperate with the Borrowers in challenging such Non-Excluded Taxes,
     at the Borrowers' expense, if so requested by the Borrowers in writing.



                                      -53-


          5.2.3. NON-U.S. LENDERS. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that
     is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for U.S.
     federal income tax purposes (a "Non-U.S. Lender") hereby agrees that it
     shall, prior to the date of the first payment by the Borrowers hereunder to
     be made to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or for such Lender's or
     the Administrative Agent's account (and thereafter when required to the
     extent it is legally entitled to do so), deliver to the Borrowers and the
     Administrative Agent, as applicable, such certificates, documents or other
     evidence, as and when required by the Code, including (a) two (2) duly
     completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and
     any other certificate or statement of exemption required by the Code, or
     any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed
     and duly executed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent establishing
     that with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees hereunder it
     is (i) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code
     because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such
     Lender or Administrative Agent of a trade or business in the United States
     or (ii) totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax under a
     provision of an applicable tax treaty or (b) in the case of a Non-U.S.
     Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver the forms specified in
     clause (a) and that is not a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
     the Code, a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
     the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and to the effect that (i) such
     Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
     Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in
     any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any
     tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental
     authority, any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any
     exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (ii) is
     not a ten (10) percent shareholder for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of
     the Code and (iii) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving
     interest from a related person for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
     Code, together with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form
     W-8BEN; provided, that an Administrative Agent that delivers the forms and
     certificate provided in clause (b) above must also deliver to the Borrowers
     two accurate, complete and signed copies of either Internal Revenue Service
     Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or, in each case, an applicable successor form,
     establishing a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. federal income
     tax imposed on the payment of any fees to such Administrative Agent. Each
     Lender agrees that it shall, promptly upon a change of its lending office
     or the selection of any additional lending office, to the extent the forms
     previously delivered by it pursuant to this section are no longer
     effective, and promptly upon the Borrower's or the Administrative Agent's
     reasonable request after the occurrence of any other event (including the
     passage of time) requiring the delivery of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI in
     addition to or in replacement of the forms previously delivered, deliver to
     the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the
     extent it is properly entitled to do so, a properly completed and executed
     Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor forms thereto).
     For any



                                      -54-


     period with respect to which such Lender or Administrative Agent has failed
     to provide the Borrowers with the appropriate, complete and accurate form
     or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5.2.3 establishing a
     complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax (unless such failure
     is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to
     the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such
     Lender or Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to any "gross-up" of
     Taxes or indemnification under Section 5.2.2 with respect to Non-Excluded
     Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that
     should such a Lender or Administrative Agent, which is otherwise exempt
     from a withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes
     because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers
     shall take such steps as such Lender or Administrative Agent shall
     reasonably request, at such Lender's or Administrative Agent's expense, to
     assist such Lender or Administrative Agent to recover such Non-Excluded
     Taxes or Other Taxes.

          5.3. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest on the Loans and of
     Fees shall be based on a 360-day year (or 365-day year with respect to
     interest calculations on Base Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of
     days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term
     "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment
     hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day
     that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended
     to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such
     extension. The outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit Note as reflected
     on its Record from time to time shall, absent manifest error, be considered
     correct and binding on the Borrowers unless within five (5) Business Days
     after receipt of any notice by the Administrative Agent or any of the
     Lenders of such outstanding amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender
     shall notify the Borrowers to the contrary.

          5.4. INABILITY TO DETERMINE LIBOR RATE. In the event, prior to the
     commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, any
     Lender shall determine that (a) adequate and reasonable methods do not
     exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate that would otherwise determine the
     rate of interest to be applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan during any
     Interest Period or (b) the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for
     such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
     such Lender of making or maintaining their LIBOR Rate Loans during such
     period, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such determination
     (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower and
     the Administrative Agent. In such event (i) any Loan Request with respect
     to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a
     request for Base Rate Loans, (ii) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically,
     on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto,
     become a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) the obligations of the Lenders to make
     LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
     determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
     exist,



                                      -55-


     whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and the
     Lenders and each Base Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Rate
     Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

          5.5. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any
     present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the
     interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender
     to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give
     notice of such circumstances to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and
     the other Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make
     LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as the
     condition giving rise to such illegality no longer exists and (b) such
     Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be
     converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest
     Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as
     may be required by law. The Borrowers hereby agrees promptly to pay the
     Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand by such
     Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any
     costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with
     this Section 5.5, including any interest or fees payable by such Lender to
     lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate
     Loans hereunder. If the Administrative Agent determines that the condition
     giving rise to such illegality no longer exists, the Administrative Agent
     shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lender, and each Base Rate Loan
     shall automatically convert to a Libor Rate Loan on the last day of the
     current Interest Period.

          5.6. ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC. If any present or future applicable law,
     which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations
     thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any
     governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the
     administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives,
     instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made
     upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by any
     central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not
     having the force of law), shall:

          (a) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent
     specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special
     deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar
     requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held
     by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit
     issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

          (b) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other
     conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other
     Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender's Commitment or any class of loans
     or



                                      -56-


     commitments of which any of the Loans form a part, and the result of any of
     the foregoing is

               (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding,
          issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans, or

               (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, or other amount
          payable such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account
          of such Lender's Commitment or any of the Loans, or

               (iii) to require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make
          any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder,
          the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is
          calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or
          deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the
          Borrowers hereunder,

     then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will, upon demand made by such
     Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent at any time and
     from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to
     such Lender or the Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will be
     sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such
     additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum
     (other than taxes which shall be treated exclusively pursuant to Section
     5.2.2).

          The failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
     for any increased costs shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's
     right to demand such compensation; provided, that no Borrower shall be
     under any obligation to compensate any Lender under this Section 5.6 for
     any increased costs with respect to any period prior to the date that is
     120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew of the circumstances
     giving rise to such increased costs and of the fact that such circumstances
     would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such
     increased costs.

          5.7. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If after the date hereof any Lender or the
     Administrative Agent determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any
     law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether
     or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or
     bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application
     thereof by a Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b)
     compliance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any corporation
     controlling such Lender or the Administrative Agent with any law,
     governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or
     not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy,
     has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or the
     Administrative Agent's commitment with respect to any Loans to a level
     below that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent could have
     achieved



                                      -57-


     but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
     Lender's or the Administrative Agent's then existing policies with respect
     to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity's capital)
     by any amount deemed by such Lender or (as the case may be) the
     Administrative Agent to be material, then such Lender or the Administrative
     Agent may notify the Borrowers of such fact. To the extent that the amount
     of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base
     Rate or LIBOR Rate, the Borrowers agree to pay such Lender or (as the case
     may be) the Administrative Agent for the amount of such reduction in the
     return on capital as and when such reduction is determined upon
     presentation by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative
     Agent of a certificate in accordance with Section 5.8 hereof. Such Lender
     or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent shall allocate such cost
     increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.

          The failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
     for any reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return
     on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand
     such compensation; provided, that no Borrower shall be under any obligation
     to compensate any Lender under this Section 5.7 for any reductions with
     respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such
     request if such Lender knew of the circumstances giving rise to such
     reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim
     for increased compensation by reason of such reductions.

          5.8. CERTIFICATE. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts
     payable pursuant to Sections 5.6 or 5.7 and a brief explanation of such
     amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Administrative Agent
     to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such
     amounts are due and owing.

          5.9. INDEMNITY. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender and to
     hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense
     (including loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or
     incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrowers in payment of the
     principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due
     and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or
     fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
     maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, (b) default by the Borrowers in making a
     borrowing after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan
     Request relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.2, or (c) the making
     of any payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan that is not the last day of the
     applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees
     payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
     maintain any such Loans.

          5.10. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Overdue principal and (to the extent
     permitted by applicable law) overdue interest on the Loans and all other
     overdue



                                      -58-


     amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall
     bear interest compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum
     equal to two percent (2%) above the then applicable rate of interest under
     this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents until such amount shall
     be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

          6. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

          6.1. SECURITY OF BORROWERS. Subject to the Security Documents, the
     Obligations are and shall continue to be secured by a perfected first
     priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens entitled to
     priority under applicable law) in the Collateral specified in the Security
     Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms
     of the Security Documents to which the Borrowers are a party.

          7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

          In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and
     to make the Loans as provided for herein, each Borrower makes, on a joint
     and several basis, the following representations, warranties and agreements
     with the Administrative Agent and Lenders, all of which shall survive the
     execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans
     (with the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date and each Funding
     Date on or after the Restatement Effective Date being deemed to constitute
     a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this Section 7
     are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Restatement
     Effective Date and on and as of such Funding Date unless stated to relate
     to a specific earlier date in which case such representations and
     warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such
     earlier date):

          7.1. COMPANY STATUS. Each Borrower and each of their respective
     Restricted Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized and validly existing
     Company in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the
     jurisdiction of its organization except where the failure to be so duly
     organized, validly existing and in good standing, either individually or in
     the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
     Effect, (ii) has the Company power and authority to own its property and
     assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged,
     except where the failure to have such power and authority, either
     individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have
     a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to
     do business and is in good standing (or its equivalent) in all
     jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified (or its equivalent)
     and where the failure to be so qualified, either individually or in the
     aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.



                                      -59-


          7.2. COMPANY POWER AND AUTHORITY. Each Borrower has the Company power
     and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of
     the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
     Company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
     Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each Borrower has duly executed and
     delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party and each such Loan
     Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
     Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
     that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting
     creditors' rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether
     enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

          7.3. NO VIOLATION. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by
     any Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance
     by such Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (i) will
     contravene any material provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or
     regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
     governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or
     result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or
     provisions of, or constitute a default under, or (other than pursuant to
     the Security Documents) result in the creation or imposition of (or the
     obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets
     of such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the
     terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit
     agreement or any other agreement, contract or instrument to which such
     Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or
     any of its material property or assets are bound or to which it may be
     subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of
     incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement,
     certificate of limited liability company, limited liability company
     agreement or equivalent organizational document, as the case may be, of
     such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

          7.4. LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
     investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in
     writing (i) with respect to any Loan Document or (ii) with respect to any
     other matter, as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
     determination and that, if adversely determined, either individually or in
     the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
     Effect.

          7.5. MARGIN REGULATIONS. No part of any Loan (or the proceeds thereof)
     will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for
     the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making
     of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any
     other Loan will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of
     Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.



                                      -60-


          7.6. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. Except as may have been obtained or made
     on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date (and which remain in full
     force and effect on the Restatement Effective Date), no order, consent,
     approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or
     registration with, or exemption by, any domestic or foreign governmental or
     public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to
     authorize, in respect of a Borrower, or is required to be obtained by a
     Borrower in connection with (i) the execution, delivery and performance by
     a Borrower of any Loan Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding
     effect or enforceability of any Loan Document with respect to a Borrower,
     in each case, except for (A) the filing of any Security Documents and (B)
     such the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the
     aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
     Effect.

          7.7. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. None of the Borrower nor any of their
     respective Restricted Subsidiaries is an "investment company" or a company
     "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          7.8. PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT. None of the Borrower nor any
     of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries is a "holding company" or a
     "subsidiary company" of a "holding company," or an "affiliate" of a
     "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company,"
     within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
     amended.

          7.9. TRUE AND COMPLETE DISCLOSURE. All factual information (taken as a
     whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their
     respective Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent
     or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in
     the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Credit
     Agreement is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole)
     hereafter furnished by, or on behalf of, the Borrowers or any of their
     respective Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent
     or any Lender in connection with this Credit Agreement will be, true and
     accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information
     is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material
     fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading
     in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under
     which such information was provided; provided, however, that to the extent
     that any such information was based upon or constitutes a forecast or
     projection, each Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and
     utilized assumptions believed by the management of such Borrower to be
     reasonable at the time made in the preparation of such information (it
     being understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any
     financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as
     fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby
     may differ from the projected results set forth therein).



                                      -61-


          7.10. FINANCIAL CONDITION; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. (a) On and as of the
     Restatement Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to all
     Indebtedness (including the Loans) incurred, and to be incurred, and Liens
     created, and to be created, by each Borrower in connection therewith, with
     respect the Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (on a
     consolidated basis) (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the
     Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated
     basis) will exceed its or their debts, (y) they have not incurred nor
     intended to, nor believe that they will, incur debts beyond their ability
     to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) they will not have
     unreasonably small capital with which to conduct their business in the
     manner such business is now conducted. For purposes of this Section
     7.10(a), "debt" means any liability on a claim, and "claim" means (i) right
     to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated,
     unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed,
     legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy
     for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether
     or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed,
     contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.
     The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the
     amount that, in the light of all facts and circumstances existing at such
     time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an
     actual or matured liability.

          (b) The consolidated balance sheets of TAL Group and its Consolidated
     Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and their fiscal quarter ended March
     31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows
     and changes in shareholders' equity of TAL Group for the two months and
     fiscal quarter ended on such dates, in each case furnished to the
     Administrative Agent and Lenders prior to the Restatement Effective Date,
     present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position
     of TAL Group and their Restricted Subsidiaries at the date of said balance
     sheets and the consolidated results of their operations for the respective
     periods covered thereby. All of the foregoing financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except, in the
     case of the aforementioned quarterly financial statements, for normal
     year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes).

          (c) Since March 31, 2005, there has been no change in the business,
     financial condition or operations of the Borrowers taken as a whole (other
     than the incurrence of Indebtedness under the Loan Documents and the Master
     Indenture Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
     hereby and thereby) that would reasonably be expected to have, either
     individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          7.11. SECURITY INTERESTS. On and after the Restatement Effective Date,
     each of the Security Documents creates as security in the United States for
     the Obligations covered thereby, a valid and enforceable security interest
     in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto, without prejudice to
     any statutory priority



                                      -62-


     rights, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and
     subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens. The Borrowers have filed
     or caused to be filed all UCC financing statements in the appropriate
     offices therefor (or has authenticated and delivered to the Administrative
     Agent UCC financing statements suitable for filing in such offices) and has
     taken all of the actions necessary in the United States to create perfected
     security interests in the Collateral which the Security Documents require
     the Borrowers to create perfected security interests.

          7.12. COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. Each of the Borrowers and each of their
     respective ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with
     the applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published
     interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
     expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA
     Events, could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of any
     Borrower or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates in excess of
     $20,000,000. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan
     (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date
     applicable thereto, exceed by more than $15,000,000 the fair market value
     of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit
     liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for
     purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as
     of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than
     $20,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded
     Plans.

          7.13. SUBSIDIARIES. On and as of the Restatement Effective Date, the
     Borrowers have no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on
     Schedule 7.13. Schedule 7.13 sets forth, as of the Restatement Effective
     Date, (i) the percentage ownership (direct and indirect) of each Borrower
     in each class of Capital Stock of each of its Subsidiaries and also
     identifies the direct owner thereof and (ii) the jurisdiction of
     organization of each such Subsidiary. All outstanding shares of Capital
     Stock of each Subsidiary of each Borrower have been duly and validly
     issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent applicable in the
     jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary). As of the Restatement
     Effective Date, no Subsidiary of any Borrower has outstanding any
     securities convertible into or exchangeable for its Capital Stock or
     outstanding any right to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options or
     warrants for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for the issuance
     (contingent or otherwise) of or any calls, commitments or claims of any
     character relating to, its Capital Stock or any stock appreciation or
     similar rights. Except for the existing investments described on Schedule
     7.13, as of the Restatement Effective Date, none of the Borrowers nor any
     of their Subsidiaries owns or holds, directly or indirectly, any Capital
     Stock of any Person other than its Subsidiaries indicated on Schedule 7.13.



                                      -63-


          7.14. COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTES; AGREEMENTS, ETC. Each Borrower and
     each of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i)
     all applicable statutes, regulations, rules and orders of, and all
     applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or
     foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business (including the
     origination of Leases) and the ownership of its property (excluding
     applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to
     environmental standards and controls, which matters are covered under
     Section 7.15) and (ii) all contracts and agreements to which it is a party,
     except, in each case, such non-compliances as would not reasonably be
     expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material
     Adverse Effect.

          7.15. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Except as would not reasonably be
     expected to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material
     Adverse Effect: (i) each of the Borrower and their respective Restricted
     Subsidiaries has complied with all applicable Environmental Laws and the
     requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws and none
     of the Borrowers nor any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries is
     liable for any penalties, fines or forfeitures for failure to comply with
     any of the foregoing; (ii) there are no pending Environmental Claims or, to
     the knowledge of any Senior Designated Officer of the Borrower,
     Environmental Claims threatened in writing against any Borrower or any of
     their Restricted Subsidiaries or any property (real or personal) owned,
     leased or operated by any Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries
     (including, to the knowledge of any Senior Designated Officer of any
     Borrower, any such claim arising out of the ownership, lease or operation
     by any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any property (real
     or personal) formerly owned, leased or operated by any Borrower or any of
     their Restricted Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by
     such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); and (iii) to the
     knowledge of any Senior Designated Officer of the Borrower, there are no
     facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on or arising from any
     property (real or personal) owned, leased or operated by any Borrower or
     any of their Restricted Subsidiaries (including any property (real or
     personal) formerly owned, leased or operated by any Borrower or any of
     their Restricted Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by
     such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or relating to the
     past or present operations of any Borrower or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an
     Environmental Claim against such Borrower or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries or any such property (real or personal).

          7.16. LABOR RELATIONS. As of the Restatement Effective Date, there are
     no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Borrower or any of their
     respective Restricted Subsidiaries pending, or to the knowledge of the
     Borrowers, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees
     of the Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries have not been
     in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or and other applicable
     federal, state or local law dealing with such matters, except for such
     violations that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
     aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.



                                      -64-


          7.17. TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. Each of the Borrowers and each of
     their respective Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed (including
     applicable extensions) with the appropriate taxing authority, all federal
     and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the
     "Returns") required to be filed by or with respect to the income,
     properties or operations of the Borrower and each of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all
     liability for taxes of the Borrowers and each of their Restricted
     Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby. The Borrowers and
     each of their Restricted Subsidiaries have paid all material taxes payable
     by them other than those contested in good faith and for which adequate
     reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

          7.18. SCHEDULED EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Schedule 7.18 sets forth all
     material Indebtedness of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries as
     of the Restatement Effective Date and the incurrence of Loans on such date
     (exclusive of Indebtedness pursuant to this Credit Agreement, the other
     Loan Documents and the Master Indenture Documents), in each case showing
     the aggregate principal amount thereof (and the aggregate amount of any
     undrawn commitments with respect thereto) and the name of the respective
     borrower and any other entity which directly or indirectly guarantees such
     debt.

          7.19. INSURANCE. Schedule 7.19 sets forth a summary of all insurance
     maintained by the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries on and as of
     the Restatement Effective Date, with the amounts insured (and any
     deductibles) set forth therein.

          7.20. FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL REGULATIONS, ETC. None of the requesting
     or borrowing of any Loan or the use of the proceeds of such will violate
     the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., as amended)
     (the "Trading With the Enemy Act") or any of the foreign assets control
     regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B,
     Chapter V, as amended) (the "Foreign Assets Control Regulations") or any
     enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the
     avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive
     Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting
     Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support
     Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the "Executive Order") and (b) the
     Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required
     to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)).
     Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will
     become a "blocked person" as described in the Executive Order, the Trading
     With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages
     or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated,
     with any such "blocked person".

          7.21. CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY. The credit and collection policy
     used by the Borrowers as in effect on the Restatement Effective Date (which



                                      -65-


     policy also addressed the criteria under which a lessee is allowed to
     self-insure for property and liability risks) is attached as Exhibit G
     hereto (the "Credit and Collection Policy").

          7.22. FORM OF LEASE AGREEMENT. The standard form(s) of Lease Agreement
     used by the Borrowers in the ordinary course of their business as in effect
     on the Restatement Effective Date is attached as Exhibit H hereto.

          8.2. BOOKS, RECORDS AND INSPECTIONS. Each Borrower will, and will
     cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record

     expected to become a lien or charge upon any properties of such Borrower or
     any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted under Section
     9.3; provided that none of the Borrowers nor any of their Restricted
     Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge,
     levy or claim which is immaterial or is being contested in good faith and

     any jurisdiction where such withdrawal would not, either individually or in
     the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
     (y) require the preservation of any such right, franchise, authorities to
     do business, license, certification, accreditation or patent to the extent
     that the lapse thereof, either individually or in the aggregate, would not

     each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable
     statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions

     deeds of trust, indentures, loan agreements, credit agreements or other
     material agreements, contracts or instruments entered into in connection
     with, a Permitted Securitization), except such non-performances as, either
     individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to cause
     a Material Adverse Effect.

     will cause their Restricted Subsidiaries and the Trust to:

               (i) keep, or cause to be kept, its Eligible Containers and

          procedures and operating instructions prescribed by the manufacturer
          which, with respect to Eligible Containers include but are not limited
          to the latest applicable regulations and recommendations of the
          International Organization of Standardization as well as any
          applicable local regulations;

               (iii) not knowingly use (or knowingly permit the Lessees to use)
          the Eligible Containers or Eligible Chassis for storage of
          transportation of contraband in violation of applicable United States
          law;

               (iv) with respect to Eligible Containers, comply with the
          International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) in all respects
          including, without limitation, plating, maintenance, examination,

          8.11. INSURANCE. The Borrowers will, in a manner consistent with the
     practices of the Borrowers as of the Restatement Effective Date, (i) effect
     and maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies reasonably
     satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent
     acknowledges to be true on the Restatement Effective Date) a general
     liability insurance, insuring the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and
     each Lender against liability for personal injury and property damage
     liability, caused by, or relating to, the Eligible Containers and Eligible
     Chassis then off-lease, with such levels of coverage and deductibles that
     are, with respect to the Eligible Containers, consistent with the levels in
     effect as of the Restatement Effective Date, and (ii) have a standard form
     of lease agreement that requires each Lessee to maintain (1) physical
     damage insurance in an amount equal to the value of the Eligible Containers
     and Eligible Chassis on lease to it and to name TAL as a loss payee,



                                      -71-


     and (2) comprehensive general liability insurance, including contractual
     liability, against claims for bodily injury or death and property damage
     and to name TAL as an additional insured. The Administrative Agent and the
     Lenders reserve the right (but shall not have the obligation) to obtain (i)
     at Borrowers' expense, insurance with respect to any or all of the
     foregoing risks if the Borrowers shall fail to obtain such coverage in the
     specified amounts, and (ii) at the Lender's expense, additional insurance
     on its own behalf with respect to any or all of the foregoing risks (or any
     other risk). However, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will notify
     the Borrowers prior to obtaining and such insurance. All insurance
     maintained by the Borrowers for loss or damage of the Eligible Containers
     and Eligible Chassis shall provide that losses, if any, shall be payable to
     the Administrative Agent or its designee as sole loss payee and the
     Borrower shall utilize its reasonable efforts to have all checks relating
     to any such losses delivered promptly to Administrative Agent or such other
     person designated by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and
     each Lender shall be named as an additional insured with respect to all
     such liability insurance maintained by, or on behalf of, the Borrowers. The
     Borrowers shall pay the premiums with respect to all such insurance and
     deliver to Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to
     Administrative Agent of such insurance coverage. The Borrowers shall cause
     to be provided to Administrative Agent, not less than fifteen (15) days
     prior to the scheduled expiration or lapse of such insurance coverage,
     evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent of renewal or
     replacement coverage. The Borrowers shall use their commercially reasonable
     efforts to have each insurer agree, by endorsement upon the policy or
     policies issued by it or by independent instrument furnished to
     Administrative Agent, that (i) it will give each additional insured and the
     loss payee thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the effective date of
     any material alteration, cancellation or non-renewal of such policy and
     (ii) in the event that the cancellation of such coverage would result in a
     breach of this Section 8.11 by the Borrowers, it will permit the
     Administrative Agent and/or the Lender(s) to make payments to effect the
     continuation of coverage upon notice of cancellation due to nonpayment of
     premium.

          8.12. INTEREST RATE HEDGING AGREEMENTS. Within sixty (60) days after
     the Restatement Effective Date and thereafter within thirty (30) days after
     the end of each calendar quarter thereafter, the Borrowers will enter into,
     and maintain for so long as any Obligations remain unpaid, one or more
     Hedging Agreements with respect to a minimum of seventy percent (70%) of
     that portion of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance over Twenty Million
     Dollars ($20,000,000) attributable to (i) those Eligible Containers and
     Eligible Chassis that are then subject to a Lease that has a then remaining
     term of more than three years and (ii) without duplication of the Leases
     referred to in clause (i), those Eligible Containers and Eligible Chassis
     that are then subject to a Finance Lease, all of which Hedging Agreements
     shall have an aggregate notional principal amount required by the formula
     set forth in Exhibit J hereto and have a projected amortization schedule as
     set forth in such Exhibit.



                                      -72-


          8.13. UNIDROIT CONVENTION. The Borrowers will comply with the terms
     and provisions of the UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in
     Mobile Goods or any other internationally recognized system for recording
     interests in or liens against shipping containers at the time that such
     convention is adopted.

          8.14. COMPLIANCE WITH CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY. The Borrowers will
     comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in
     regard to the origination of, and amendments and modifications to, Leases.

          8.15. STATIC STORAGE CONTAINERS. The Borrowers will cause all of the
     static storage containers owned by ICS Terminals (UK) Limited and included
     in the calculation of the Asset Base to be free from Liens (other than
     Permitted Liens) in favor of any Person (other than the Administrative
     Agent).

          9. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

          Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that as of the Restatement
     Effective Date and thereafter for so long as this Credit Agreement is in
     effect and until all Commitments have been terminated, and the Loans and

     Obligations incurred hereunder, are paid in full:

     permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business
     other than a Permitted Business; provided that in the event that a Borrower
     shall engage in any consolidation, merger or sale transaction permitted
     pursuant to Section 9.2(b), from and after the consummation of such
     transaction, a Borrower or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall not
     be deemed to violate this Section 9.1 if at least seventy percent (70%) of
     the consolidated assets of the Borrowers or Surviving Entity, as
     applicable, and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries are held in
     connection with a Permitted Business.

          9.2. CONSOLIDATION; MERGER; SALE OF ASSETS; ETC. Except in connection
     with a Permitted Transaction, each Borrower will not, in a single
     transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or
     into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of
     (or cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to sell, assign,
     transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the
     assets of the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries (determined on a
     consolidated basis for the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries)
     whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person
     unless:

          (a) either:

               (i) such Borrower shall be the surviving or continuing
          corporation; or



                                      -73-


               (ii) the Person (if other than such Borrower) formed by such
          consolidation or into which such Borrower is merged, or the Person
          which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
          disposition the properties and assets of the Borrowers and their
          Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the "Surviving
          Entity"):

                    (A) shall be an entity organized and validly existing under
               the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the
               District of Columbia; and

                    (B) shall expressly assume, by supplemental agreement (in
               form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
               Agent), executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the
               due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the
               Loans and the performance of every covenant set forth in this
               Credit Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or
               observed; and

          (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the
     assumption contemplated by clause (a)(ii)(B) above, (i) no Default or Event
     of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, (ii) at least seventy
     percent (70%) of the consolidated assets of the Borrower or the Surviving
     Entity, as the case may be, and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries
     shall be held in connection with a Permitted Business.

     Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the Borrowers' assets in accordance with the foregoing, in
which a Borrower is not the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Entity shall succeed
to, and by substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the
applicable Borrower or Borrowers under this Credit Agreement with the same
effect as if the Surviving Entity had been named as such.

     To the extent the Majority Lenders waive the provisions of this Section 9.2
with respect to the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, or any
Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of as permitted by this Section 9.2,
such Collateral (unless transferred to another Borrower) shall be sold or

     (other than a Special Purpose Vehicle) or the Guarantor for the purpose of
     effecting any of the foregoing;

          (i) a Change of Control occurs without the prior consent of the
     Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders;

          (j) the Security Agreement or the Lien purported to be created thereby
     shall become or be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
     invalid or enforceable against any Borrower for any reason other than any
     action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the failure of
     the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take any action within its
     control;

          (k) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against a
     Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Special
     Purpose Vehicle) involving a liability (to the extent not paid when due or
     covered by a reputable and solvent insurance company (with any portion of
     any judgment or decree not so covered to be included in any determination
     hereunder)) equal to or in excess of $20 Million Dollars for all such
     judgments and decrees and all such judgments or decrees shall either be
     final and non-appealable or shall not have



                                      -91-

     or covenant with respect to the Indebtedness that, individually or in the
     aggregate for all such Persons, exceeds Twenty Million Dollars
     ($20,000,000) and the holder(s) of such Indebtedness have accelerated such
     Indebtedness;

          (m) any law, rule or regulation shall render invalid, or preclude
     enforcement of, any material provision of this Credit Agreement, the
     Guaranty or any other Loan Document or impair performance of the
     obligations of any Borrower or TAL Group under this Credit Agreement or
     under any other Loan Document, in each case, for any reason other than any
     action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the failure of
     the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take any action within its
     control; and

     then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the
     Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Majority Lenders
     shall, by notice in writing to the Borrowers declare all amounts owing with
     respect to this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes and the other
     Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become,
     immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other
     notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
     Borrowers; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in
     Sections 13.1(h), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable
     automatically and without any requirement of notice from the Administrative
     Agent.

          13.2. TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS. If an Event of Default specified in
     Sections 13.1(h) shall occur, any unused portion of the credit hereunder
     shall forthwith terminate and each of the Lenders shall be relieved of all
     further obligations to make Loans to the Borrower. If any other Event of
     Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may
     and upon the request of the Majority Lenders shall, by notice to the
     Borrower, terminate the unused portion of the Commitments hereunder, and
     upon such notice being given such unused portion of the Commitments
     hereunder shall terminate immediately and each of the Lenders shall be
     relieved of all further obligations to make Loans. No termination of the
     Commitments hereunder shall relieve the Borrowers of any of the
     Obligations.

          13.3. REMEDIES. In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall
     have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Administrative
     Agent shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section
     13.1, each



                                      -92-


     Lender, if owed any amount with respect to the Loans may, with the consent
     of the Majority Lenders but not otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce
     its rights by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate
     proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
     agreement contained in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
     or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to such Lender are
     evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex
     parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due,
     by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any
     other legal or equitable right of such Lender. No remedy herein conferred
     upon any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the holder of any Note is
     intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy
     shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
     hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
     any other provision of law.

          13.4. DISTRIBUTION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS. In the event that,
     following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event
     of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be,
     receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any of the
     Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any
     of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as
     follows:

          (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
     reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for, or in respect of, all
     reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been
     incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
     collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise,
     protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the
     rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under
     this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of
     the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the
     Administrative Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or
     may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative Agent to such
     monies;

          (b) Second, to the payment in full of all of the Obligations;

          (c) Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other provisions
     for payment in full satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative
     Agent of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required
     to be paid pursuant to Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform
     Commercial Code of the State of New York; and

          (d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers or
     to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.



                                      -93-


          14. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT.

          14.1. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY. Each of the Lenders hereby
     irrevocably appoints Fortis to act on its behalf as the Administrative
     Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
     Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
     such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
     hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
     incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section are solely for the
     benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, and none of the
     Borrowers shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
     provisions.

          14.2. RIGHTS AS A LENDER. The Person serving as the Administrative
     Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
     Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
     the Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless
     otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
     include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
     individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
     from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory
     capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the
     Borrowers or any of their Affiliates as if such Person were not the
     Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to
     the Lenders.

          14.3. EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. The Administrative Agent shall not have
     any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
     the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
     the Administrative Agent:

          (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
     regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
     continuing;

          (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
     exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
     expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
     Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
     Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
     shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
     provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
     action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
     Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
     or applicable law; and

          (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
     Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
     failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of
     their Affiliates that



                                      -94-


     is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative
     Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

          The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
     not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority
     Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
     necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall
     be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 16.12 and
     13.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
     misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
     of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such
     Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by any
     Borrower or a Lender.

          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty
     to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
     made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
     Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
     delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
     (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
     other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of
     any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
     effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan
     Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
     satisfaction of any condition set forth in Sections 11 or 12 or elsewhere
     herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
     delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          14.4. RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent shall
     be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
     upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
     document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
     intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be
     genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
     proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
     made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by
     the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
     In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a
     Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender,
     the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to
     such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to
     the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The
     Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
     the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it,
     and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
     accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

          14.5. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may perform any
     and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
     any



                                      -95-


     other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
     the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
     may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by
     or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of
     this Section 14 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
     Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply
     to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
     credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
     Administrative Agent.

          14.6. RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent
     may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the
     Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority
     Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers, to appoint
     a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
     Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
     after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
     then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders,
     appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set
     forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the
     Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
     appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
     accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall
     be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other
     Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by
     the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan
     Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such
     collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
     appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided
     to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made
     by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders
     appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
     Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative
     Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all
     of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
     Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
     discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the
     other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above
     in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor
     Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
     unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the
     retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other
     Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 16.3 shall
     continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
     its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any
     actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
     Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.



                                      -96-


          In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent, whether in its
     capacity as the Administrative Agent or a Lender, does not consent (or
     fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver to any
     provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by
     any Borrower and (ii) such proposed amendment, modification or waiver has
     been approved by the Majority Lenders, any Borrower may, upon (x) delivery
     of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, and (y) receipt by
     the Administrative Agent of the amount calculated in accordance with
     Section 16.13 hereof in connection with a transfer of the Loans by the
     Administrative Agent, require that the Administrative Agent promptly resign
     from such position, such resignation, and the appointment of a successor
     Administrative Agent to be consummated in accordance with the first
     paragraph of this Section 14.6.

          14.7. NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each
     Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
     the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
     Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
     appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
     Credit Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
     and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or
     any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as
     it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
     decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit
     Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
     furnished hereunder or thereunder.

          14.8. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the
     pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
     reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
     proceeding relative to a Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
     of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as
     herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
     the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall
     be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
     and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
     Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as
     may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders
     and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
     compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the
     Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other
     amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1 and
     16.3 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

          (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;



                                      -97-


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1 and 16.3.

          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the
     Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
     behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
     composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
     authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any
     Lender in any such proceeding.

          14.9. COLLATERAL MATTERS. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the
     Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

          (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
     Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
     Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
     contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as
     part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any
     other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 16.12, if approved,
     authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders;

          (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
     Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on
     such property that is permitted by Section 9.3(viii); and

          (c) to take the actions with respect to the Collateral and the
     Guaranty as are set forth in the Security Documents and the Guaranty,
     respectively.

          The Lenders hereby agree that the Security Documents may be enforced
     only by the action of the Administrative Agent, in each case, acting upon
     the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and that no Lender shall have any
     right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Security Documents
     to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and
     agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative
     Agent for the benefit of the Lender upon the terms of this Credit Agreement
     and the Security Documents.

          Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority
     Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to
     release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of
     property.



                                      -98-


          14.10. COLLATERAL AGENT. All of the provisions of this Article 14
     applicable to the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to the
     Collateral Agent.

          15. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

          15.1. GENERAL CONDITIONS. The provisions of this Credit Agreement
     shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
     their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none
     of the Borrowers may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
     Obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and
     no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
     hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 15.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with
     the provisions of Section 15.4 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a
     security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.6 (and any
     other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
     and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
     construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
     respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
     extent provided in Section 15.4, and, to the extent expressly contemplated
     hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the
     Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
     of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

          15.2. ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDERS. Any Lender may at any time assign to one
     or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
     under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
     and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that

               (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
          amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time
          owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
          Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which
          for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the
          Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of
          the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment,
          determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
          to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a
          "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the
          Trade Date, shall not be less than $15,000,000 unless each of the
          Administrative Agent and, so long as no Designated Event of Default
          has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each
          such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

               (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
          proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and
          obligations



                                      -99-


          under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the
          Commitment assigned, it being understood that non-pro rata assignments
          of or among any of the Commitments and Loans are not permitted;

               (iii) any assignment of a Commitment or Loan must be approved by
          the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Designated Event of
          Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (each such
          consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person
          that is the proposed assignee is an Eligible Assignee);

               (iv) so long as Fortis is the Administrative Agent, any
          assignment by Fortis or any of its Affiliates of all or a portion of
          its Commitments or Loans that would result in Fortis and its
          Affiliates holding in aggregate less than twenty percent (20%) of the
          Aggregate Commitments, or, if the Commitments are not then in effect,
          the aggregate Loan outstanding, shall require, so long as no
          Designated Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
          consent of the Borrowers (each such consent not to be unreasonably
          withheld or delayed); and

               (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
          the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
          processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee,
          if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
          an Administrative Questionnaire.

          Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative
     Agent pursuant to Section 15.3, from and after the effective date specified
     in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall
     be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
     assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
     of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender
     thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
     and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit
     Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
     the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement,
     such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
     entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.2.2, 5.6 and 16.3 with respect to
     facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
     assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute
     and deliver a Revolving Credit Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment
     or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit
     Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for
     purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
     participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section
     15.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
     Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay to the Eligible Assignee any amount
     under Section 5.2.2(a) that is greater than the amount that the Borrowers
     would have been obligated to pay such Eligible



                                     -100-


     Assignee's assignor if such assigning Lender had not assigned to such
     Eligible Assignee any of its rights under this Credit Agreement, unless (1)
     the circumstances giving rise to such greater payments did not exist at the
     time of such assignment, or (2) the Borrowers consented to the assignment
     to such Eligible Assignee.

          15.3. REGISTER. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
     purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
     Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and
     a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
     and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each
     Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The
     entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
     Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
     whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
     Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding
     notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
     any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
     upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a
     consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is
     pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection
     therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of
     the Register.

          15.4. PARTICIPATIONS. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent
     of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell
     participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower
     or any of their Affiliates) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of
     such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement
     (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to
     it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Credit
     Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
     responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
     obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
     Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
     connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit
     Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
     such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
     right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment,
     modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided
     that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
     without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
     modification or waiver that would reduce the principal of or the interest
     rate on any Loan, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment
     of such Lender as it relates to such Participant, reduce the amount of any
     Commitment Fee to which such Participant is entitled or extend any
     regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest. Subject to
     Section 15.5, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled
     to the benefits of Sections 5.2.2, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.9 to the same extent as
     if it were a Lender and had acquired



                                     -101-


     its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.2. To the extent
     permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
     of Section 16.1 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
     agrees to be subject to Section 15.1 as though it were a Lender. Each
     Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 15.4 to a
     Participant shall, as agent of the Borrowers solely for the purpose of this
     Section 15.4, record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and
     the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to
     receive payments in respect of such participation.

          15.5. LIMITATIONS UPON PARTICIPANT RIGHTS. A Participant shall not be
     entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.2.2, 5.6 or 5.7
     than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
     to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
     participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers' prior written
     consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender
     shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.2.2 unless the Borrower
     is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
     Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
     Section 5.2.3 as though it were a Lender.

          15.6. CERTAIN PLEDGES. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
     security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit
     Agreement (including under its Revolving Credit Note) to secure obligations
     of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to
     a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall
     release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
     such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          15.7. ELECTRONIC EXECUTION OF ASSIGNMENTS. The words "execution,"
     "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and
     Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping
     of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
     effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the
     use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the
     extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
     Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York
     State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state
     laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

          16. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS.

          16.1. SETOFF. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent
     and each of the Lenders a continuing lien, security interest and right of
     setoff as security for all liabilities and Obligations to the
     Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter
     arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property,
     now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the
     Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender



                                     -102-


     Affiliate and their successors and assigns or in transit to any of them.
     Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any of the Obligations are
     due and payable and have not been paid or any Event of Default shall have
     occurred, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the
     Lenders to any Borrower and any securities or other property of any
     Borrower in the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set off by
     the Administrative Agent against the payment of Obligations and any and all
     other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to
     become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrowers to such
     Lender. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR
     REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE
     OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
     DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
     VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agree with each
     other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to
     Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender, other than Indebtedness
     evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes held by such Lender, such amount
     shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness
     evidenced by all such Notes held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender
     shall receive from the Borrowers, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of
     the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim
     evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes held by such Lender by proceedings
     against the Borrowers at law or in equity or by proof thereof in
     bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar
     proceedings, or otherwise, any amount in excess of its ratable portion of
     the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving
     Credit Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make arrangements
     with the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders with respect to such
     excess in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6.

          16.2. EXPENSES. The Borrowers agree to pay, on a joint and several
     basis, (a) the reasonable and documented costs of producing and reproducing
     this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements
     and instruments mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable and documented fees,
     expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent's Special Counsel
     and any local counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred in connection
     with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the
     Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing
     hereunder, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers
     hereto or hereunder, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon payment
     in full in cash of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of such
     Loan Document providing for such cancellation, (c) the reasonable and
     documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent or
     any of its Affiliates incurred by the Administrative Agent or such
     Affiliate in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration
     or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned
     herein, (d) any reasonable and documented fees, costs, expenses and



                                     -103-


     bank charges, including bank charges for returned checks, incurred the
     Administrative Agent in establishing, maintaining or handling agency
     accounts, lock box accounts and other accounts for the collection of any of
     the Collateral, (e) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
     (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, and
     reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking and
     similar professional fees and charges) incurred by the Administrative Agent
     in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under
     any of the Loan Documents against the Borrowers or the administration
     thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) any
     litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise,
     in any way related to the Administrative Agent's relationship with the
     Borrowers and (f) all reasonable and documented fees, expenses and
     disbursements of any Lender or the Administrative Agent incurred in
     connection with UCC searches, UCC filings, or mortgage recordings. The
     covenants contained in this Section 16.2 shall survive payment or
     satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

          16.3. INDEMNIFICATION. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
     harmless, on a joint and several basis, the Administrative Agent, each of
     the Lenders and each of their Affiliates ("Indemnitees") from and against
     any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and
     from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of
     every nature and character arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of
     the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby (the
     "Indemnified Liabilities") including, without limitation, (a) any actual or
     proposed use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the
     reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the
     Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the transfer of funds from lock
     box, bank agency, concentration accounts or otherwise under any cash
     management arrangements with the Borrowers or in connection with the
     provisional honoring of funds transfers, checks or other items, (c) the
     Borrowers entering into or performing this Credit Agreement or any of the
     other Loan Documents, (d) any such liability, loss, damage or expense in
     any way relating to, or arising out of, the manufacture, ownership, leasing
     or operation of the Collateral incurred prior to any foreclosure on the
     Collateral, or (e) with respect to the Borrowers and their respective
     properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the
     presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge,
     emission, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substances or any
     action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with
     respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims
     with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in
     each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
     disbursements of one counsel incurred in connection with any such
     investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that the
     Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect
     to Indemnified Liabilities and related costs and expenses (i) to the extent
     that such Indemnified Liabilities constitute special, indirect,
     consequential or punitive damages or damages or liabilities based upon any



                                     -104-


     theory of lost profits, or (ii) to the extent that such Indemnified
     Liabilities are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the
     gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or recklessness of such
     Indemnitee (and, upon any such determination, any indemnification payments
     with respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or related costs and expenses
     previously received by such Indemnitee shall be promptly reimbursed by such
     Indemnitee). In litigation, or the preparation therefor, each Indemnitee
     shall be entitled to select its own counsel and, in addition to the
     foregoing indemnity; provided, that the Borrowers shall only be obligated
     under this Section 16.3 to pay the reasonable and documented fees and
     expenses of one counsel on behalf of all Indemnitees. If, and to the extent
     that the Obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 16.3 are
     unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the
     maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such Obligations
     which is permissible under applicable law. The covenants contained in this
     Section 16.3 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other
     Obligations.

          16.4. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

          16.4.1. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative
     Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, directors,
     officers, employees and representatives, to use reasonable precautions to
     keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for
     handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with
     safe and sound banking practices, any information supplied to it by, or on
     behalf of, the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement, provided that
     nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (a) after
     such information shall have become public other than through a violation of
     this Section 16.4, or becomes available to any of the Lenders or the
     Administrative Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
     the Borrowers, (b) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or
     judicial process, (c) to counsel for any of the Lenders or the
     Administrative Agent, (d) to bank examiners or any other regulatory
     authority having jurisdiction over any Lender or the Administrative Agent,
     or to auditors or accountants, (e) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender
     or any Financial Affiliate, (f) in connection with any litigation to which
     any one or more of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Financial
     Affiliate is a party, or in connection with the enforcement of rights or
     remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (g) to a Lender
     Affiliate or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Administrative Agent, (h) to
     any actual or prospective assignee or participant or any actual or
     prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
     transactions referenced to credit or other risks or events arising under
     this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as such assignee,
     participant or counterparty, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by the
     provisions of this Section 16.4 or (i) with the prior written consent of
     the Borrowers. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
     Financial Affiliates agrees not to use any information supplied to it by,
     or on behalf, of the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement for any
     purpose or in any manner other that evaluating the



                                      -105-


     performance of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries hereunder and enforcing
     the rights, remedies and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
     Documents. Without the prior written consent of the Borrowers, none of the
     Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Financial Affiliate shall be
     permitted to refer to any of the Borrowers in connection with any
     advertising, promotion or marketing undertaken by the Administrative Agent,
     such Lenders or such Financial Affiliate.

          16.4.2. PRIOR NOTIFICATION. Unless specifically prohibited by
     applicable law or court order, each of the Lenders and the Administrative
     Agent shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Borrowers of any
     request for disclosure of any such information by any governmental agency
     or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with
     an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such
     governmental agency) or pursuant to legal process.

          16.4.3. OTHER. In no event shall any Lender or the Administrative
     Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished to it or
     any Financial Affiliate by the Borrowers. The obligations of each Lender
     under this Section 16.4 shall supersede and replace the obligations of such
     Lender under any confidentiality letter in respect of this financing signed
     and delivered by such Lender to the Borrowers prior to the date hereof and
     shall be binding upon any assignee of, or purchaser of any participation
     in, any interest in any of the Loans from any Lender.

          16.5. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements,
     representations and warranties made herein, in the Revolving Credit Notes,
     in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers
     delivered by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be deemed
     to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
     notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of
     them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any Loans as herein
     contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any
     amount due under this Credit Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes or any
     of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Lender has any
     obligation to make any Loans and for such further time as may be otherwise
     expressly specified in this Credit Agreement. All statements contained in
     any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender or the
     Administrative Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant
     hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall
     constitute representations and warranties by the Borrowers hereunder.

     an electronic record), shall be equivalent to a signature under the other

     SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED THEREIN, EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE

     understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
     hereby. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
     waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in Section 16.12.

          16.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES
     ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO



                                      -108-


     ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
     CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
     DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE
     PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE
     OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY
     PARTY, INCLUDING ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR
     ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE
     ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES
     THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION
     IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. Except as
     prohibited by law, each Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to
     claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence
     any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages
     other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Each Borrower (a) certifies
     that no representative, agent or attorney of any Lender or the
     Administrative Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the
     Administrative Agent would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce
     the foregoing waivers and (b) acknowledges that the Administrative Agent
     and the Lenders have been induced to enter into this Credit Agreement and
     the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by, among other things, the
     waivers and certifications contained herein.

          16.12. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. Any consent or approval
     required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by the Lenders
     may be given, and any term of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan
     Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be
     amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrowers of any terms of
     this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other instrument or
     the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either
     generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
     prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrowers
     and the written consent of the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver shall:

          (a) without the written consent of the Borrowers and each Lender
     directly affected thereby:

               (i) reduce, delay or forgive the principal amount of any Loans or
          reduce the rate of interest on the Loans or the priority thereof or
          the amount of any Fees (other than interest on the Revolving Credit
          Notes accruing pursuant to Section 5.10 following the effective date
          of any waiver by the Majority Lenders of the Event of Default relating
          thereto);



                                      -109-


               (ii) increase the amount of such Lender's Commitment or extend
          the expiration date of such Lender's Commitment;

               (iii) postpone or extend the Availability Termination Date or any
          other regularly scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or
          interest on, the Loans or any Fees or other amounts payable to such
          Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of
          the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 5.10, and (B) any
          vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Section 13.1 of
          amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall
          require only the approval of the Majority Lenders); and

               (iv) other than pursuant to a Permitted Securitization or any
          other transaction permitted by the terms of this Credit Agreement,
          release all or substantially all of the Collateral (excluding, if the
          Borrowers or any Subsidiary of a Borrower becomes a debtor under the
          Federal Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency laws, the
          release of "cash collateral", as defined in Section 363(a) of the
          federal Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of any applicable
          insolvency law pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the
          debtor approved by the Majority Lenders);

          (b) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, amend or waive
     this Section 16.12 or the definition of "Majority Lenders";

          (c) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or
     waive Section 14, the amount or time of payment of any Agent Fee payable
     for the Administrative Agent's account or any other provision applicable to
     the Administrative Agent;

          (d) without the consent of the holder of the Seller Loan, amend this
     Credit Agreement if the amendment or the effect of such amendment would
     either (i) violate the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) alter,
     in a manner adverse to the holder of the Seller Loan, clause (xvi) or
     (xvii) of the definition of Permitted Dividends; or

          (e) without the consent of any affected counterparty (other than any
     Borrower or any of its Affiliates) to any Hedging Agreement, reduce, delay,
     forgive or change the relative priority of any amounts owing to such Person
     in accordance with the terms hereof.

          No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly
     waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or
     delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
     exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be
     prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrowers shall
     entitle the Borrowers to other or further notice or demand in similar or
     other circumstances.



                                      -110-


          16.13. REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

          (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting
     compensation pursuant to Section 5.6 or 5.7, (ii) any Lender delivers a
     notice described in Section 5.4 or 5.5, (iii) any Borrower is required to
     pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on
     account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.2.2 or (iv) any Lender does not
     consent (or fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification or
     waiver to any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document
     requested by any Borrower, any Borrower may, at its sole expense and
     effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require
     such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with
     and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 15.2), all of its
     interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement to an
     assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be
     another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

               (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
          assignment fee specified in Section 15.2;

               (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal
          to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
          accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
          the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.9)
          from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
          accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other
          amounts);

               (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim
          for compensation under Section 5.6 or 5.7 or payments required to be
          made pursuant to Section 5.2.2, such assignment will result in a
          reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

               (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

     In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not
     execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment
     and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the
     date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment
     and Assumption to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be
     deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption. A
     Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
     prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
     circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and
     delegation cease to apply.

          (b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 5.6 or
     5.7, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.4 or 5.5, or
     (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
     or any



                                      -111-


     Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.2.2,
     then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such
     Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or
     otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal
     or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by
     it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably
     requested in writing by any Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and
     delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
     branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its
     claims for compensation under Section 5.6 or 5.7, enable it to withdraw its
     notice pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5, or would reduce amounts payable
     pursuant to Section 5.2.2, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrowers
     hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
     Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and
     transfer.

          16.14. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Credit Agreement are
     severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid
     or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such
     invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision,
     or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect
     such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or
     provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction.

          16.15. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that
     pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
     107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Patriot Act"), it is
     required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
     Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers
     and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers
     in accordance with the Patriot Act.

          16.16. EFFECT ON ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding that this Credit
     Agreement is amended and restated as of August 1, 2005, nothing contained
     herein shall be deemed to cause a novation of any transfers, conveyances or
     transactions which were effected under the Original Agreement that was
     executed on November 3, 2004, as amended and supplemented to date,
     including, without limitation, the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes
     issued pursuant thereto and the security interests granted pursuant to the
     Loan Documents.

                  [Remainder of page intentionally left blank]



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed this Credit
Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
