70&nbsp;percent controlling interest in the Shop At Home
television retailing network from Shop At Home, Inc. for $49.5
million in cash and we purchased $3.0&nbsp;million aggregate
amount of Shop At Home Inc. Series&nbsp;D Senior Redeemable
Preferred Stock. Related to the transaction, we will loan
$47.5&nbsp;million to Shop At Home Inc., to be repaid in three

retire existing debt and will be secured by Shop At Home,
Inc.&#146;s television stations in San Francisco, Boston and
Cleveland. The transaction is expected to be completed in the

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Debt Securities will be obligations of
Scripps. Because our operations are conducted primarily through
subsidiaries, our cash flow and consequently our ability to
service debt, including the Debt Securities, is dependent, in
large part, upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the
payment of funds by those subsidiaries to us in the form of
loans, dividends or otherwise, which payment is subject to
various business considerations. Our subsidiaries are separate
and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent
or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Debt
Securities or to make any funds available therefor.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Any right of Scripps to receive assets of any of
our subsidiaries upon their liquidation or reorganization (and
the consequent right of the holders of Debt Securities to
participate in those assets) will be effectively subordinated to
the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors (including trade
creditors), except to the extent that Scripps is itself
recognized as a creditor of such subsidiary. In such case our
claims may still be subordinate to the claims of creditors
secured by the assets of such subsidiary and any claims of
creditors of such subsidiary senior to those held by us.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">At June&nbsp;30, 2002, our subsidiaries had less
than $15,000,000 of indebtedness to parties other than Scripps
or our subsidiaries (such $15,000,000 does not include program
rights obligations and amounts owed to trade creditors and
employees). There are no restrictions in the Indenture on the
creation of additional indebtedness, including indebtedness of
our subsidiaries, and the incurrence of significant amounts of
additional indebtedness could have an adverse impact on our
ability to service our indebtedness, including the Debt
Securities.

arrangements relating to global Securities.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Upon the issuance of a global Security, the
Depositary for such global Security or its nominee will credit
the accounts of persons holding a beneficial interest in such
global Security with the respective principal amount of the Debt
Securities represented by such global Security. Such accounts
shall be designated by the underwriters or agents with respect
to such Debt Securities or by us if such Debt Securities are
offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial
interests in a global Security will be limited to persons that
have accounts with the Depositary for such global Security or
its nominee (&#147;participants&#148;) or persons that may hold
interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial
interests in such global Security will be shown on, and the
transfer of that ownership will be effected only through,
records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee (with
respect to interests of persons other than participants). The
laws of some states require that certain purchasers of
securities take physical delivery of such securities in
definitive form. Such limitations and laws may impair the
ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global Security.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">So long as the Depositary for a global Security,
or its nominee, is the registered owner or bearer of such global
Security, such Depositary or nominee will be considered the sole
owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by such
global Security for all purposes under the Indenture.
(Section&nbsp;308). Except as provided below, owners of
beneficial interests in a global Security will not be entitled
to have Debt Securities represented by such global Security

representing such series of Debt Securities. Additionally, we
may at any time, and in its sole discretion, determine not to
have the Registered Securities of a series represented by a
global Security and, in such event, we will issue Registered

global Security representing such series of Registered

Securities of a series, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
global Security representing Debt Securities of such series may,
on terms acceptable to us and the Depositary, receive Debt

will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Debt

         in exchange for or in lieu of which other Securities have been

         bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Securities are valid

         Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor
         shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in
         determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any
         such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or

         Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Any
         request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
         other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders
         of such series may, alternatively, be embodied



                                       9
<PAGE>

         in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series
         voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed
         in writing, at any meeting of holders of Securities of such series duly
         called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Thirteen,
         or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as
         herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective

         Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action
         embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
         to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments
         and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such
         instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding
         by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of
         this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the
         Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if
         made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting
         of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
         Section 1306.

         Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise
established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or one or more indentures
supplemental hereto pursuant to Section 301, a Holder, including a U.S.
Depositary that is a Holder of a permanent global Security, may make, give or
take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in
this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a U.S. Depositary that
is a Holder of a permanent global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to
the beneficial owners of interests in any such permanent global Security through
such U.S. Depositary's standing instructions and customary practices.

         The Trustee shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any permanent global Security
held by a U.S. Depositary entitled under the procedures of such U.S. Depositary
to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such
a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed
proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days
after such record date.

                  (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
         such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the
         Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (c) The principal amount and serial numbers of Registered
         Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall
         be proved by the Security Register.

                  (d) The principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer
         Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be
         proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate
         executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank,




                                       10
<PAGE>

         banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate
         shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the
         date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary,
         or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such
         facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person
         holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is
         deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company
         may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until
         (i) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in
         respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, (ii) such Bearer
         Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, (iii) such
         Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security or
         (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The principal
         amounts and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and
         the date of holding the same, may also be proved in any other manner
         which the Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
         consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind
         every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
         Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in
         exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done,
         omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
         reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon
         such Security.

SECTION 105.      NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY.

         Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to
be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

                  (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
         Attention: Institutional Trust Services, or

                  (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in Section
         501(d)) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the
         Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office
         specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, to the attention
         of its Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in
         writing to the Trustee by the Company.

SECTION 106.      NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF SECURITIES; WAIVER.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as contemplated by
Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities
of any event,

                  (a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
         Registered Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such
         event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
         than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
         prescribed for the giving of such notice; and



                                       11
<PAGE>

                  (b) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
         Bearer Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City
         of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in
         such Securities on a Business Day at least twice, the first such
         publication to be not earlier than the earliest date, and the second
         such publication to be not later than the latest date, prescribed for
         the giving of such notice, provided that both notices shall not be
         published on the same Business Day.

         In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to
holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be
made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered
Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of
Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed in the manner
prescribed by this Indenture shall be deemed to have been given whether or not
received by any particular Holder.

         In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized
Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided
above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given
with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such
Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by
publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in
any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice to Holders
of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

         Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 107.      LANGUAGE OF NOTICES, ETC.

         Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English
language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the
country of publication.

SECTION 108.      CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

         If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is automatically deemed to be
included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act,
such provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of
this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
which may be so modified or excluded, the former provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded.

bind the Company's successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

impaired thereby.

SECTION 112.      BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.

         Nothing in this Indenture or the Securities or coupons, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Company, the Trustee, their
successors hereunder, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar and their
successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities or coupons, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 113.      EXEMPTION FROM INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY.

         No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this
Indenture, or of any Security or coupon, or for any claim based herein or
thereon or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, shall be had against any
incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation thereof, whether
by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of
any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this
Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely the corporate
obligations of the Company and that no personal liability whatever shall attach
to, or is or shall be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, employee,
agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or
any successor corporation thereof, either directly or indirectly through the
Company or any successor corporation thereof because of the creation of the
indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
or coupons or implied herefrom or therefrom; and that any and all such personal
liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of,

waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution

         The Indenture, the Securities and the coupons shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to conflicts of laws
provisions) of the State of Ohio, provided, however, that the immunities and
standard of care of the Trustee in connection with the administration of its
trust hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York.

SECTION 115.      LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

         In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity Date of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities or coupons other than a provision in the Securities of any series
which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this
Section) payment of any interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be
made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect
as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated
Maturity Date, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable
for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or
Stated Maturity Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 203.      SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM.

         If Securities of a series are issuable in global form as contemplated
by Section 301, then, notwithstanding Section 301(k) and the provisions of
Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding
Securities of such series having the same terms as shall be specified therein
and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to
reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the
amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon
instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in
the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304.
Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the
Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the
manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or
in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or
304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company
with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global
form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

         Global Securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and
in either temporary or permanent form.



                                       15
<PAGE>

         The provisions of the next to last sentence of Section 303 shall apply
to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the next to last
sentence of Section 303.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 201 and 307, unless
specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any
premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to
the Person or Persons specified therein.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security as shall be
specified in a written statement of the Holder of such permanent global Security
or, in the case of a permanent global Security in bearer form, of Euro-clear or
Clearstream and produced to the Trustee by such Person.

SECTION 301.      AMOUNT UNLIMITED; ISSUABLE IN SERIES.

         The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated
and delivered and Outstanding under this Indenture is unlimited.

         The Securities may be issued hereunder from time to time in one or more
series each of which shall be issued pursuant to a Board Resolution or one or
more indentures supplemental hereto. With respect to any particular series of
Securities, the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto relating
thereto shall specify:

                  (a) the title of the Securities of the series which shall
         distinguish the Securities of the series from all other series of

         Securities of the series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107
         and except for any Securities which, pursuant to Section 303, are
         deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder);

         Registered Securities, Bearer Securities or both, whether any
         Securities of the series are to be issuable initially in temporary
         global form and whether any Securities of the series are to be issuable
         in permanent global form, with or without coupons and, if so, (i)
         whether beneficial owners of interests in any such permanent global
         Security or temporary global Securities may exchange such interest for

         manner in which, or the Person to whom, any interest on any Bearer
         Security of the series shall be payable, if otherwise than upon
         presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto as they
         severally mature, and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any
         interest payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment
         Date will be paid if other than in the manner provided in Section 304;

         on which the principal of the Securities of the series is payable
         (which, if so provided in such Board Resolution or indenture
         supplemental hereto, may be determined by the Company from time to time
         and set forth in the Security of the series issued from time to time)
         and whether such date or dates may be extended at the option of the
         Company;

                  (f) the rate or rates (or formula for determining such rate or
         rates) at which the Securities of the series shall bear interest, if
         any, whether and under what circumstances additional amounts with
         respect to such Securities as set forth in Section 1004 shall be
         payable, the date or dates from which any such interest shall accrue
         (which, in either case or both, if so provided in such Board Resolution
         or indenture supplemental hereto, may be determined by the Company from
         time to time and set forth in the Securities of the series issued from
         time to time), the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest
         shall be payable (or the manner of determining the same), and the
         Regular Record Date for any interest payable on any Registered
         Securities on any Interest Payment Date and the extent to which, or the
         manner in which, any interest payable on a temporary global security on
         an Interest Payment Date will be paid if other than in the manner
         provided in Section 304;

                  (g) whether the interest rate or interest rate formula, as the

         or interest rate formula, as the case may be, may be used;

                  (h) the place or places where, subject to the provisions of
         Section 1002, the principal of and any premium and interest on and any

         forth in Section 1004 shall be payable, any Registered Securities of
         the series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, any
         Securities of the series may be surrendered for exchange and notices
         and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of the
         series and this Indenture may be served;

         purchase Securities of the series pursuant to any sinking fund or
         analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof (in which
         case the Company will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) and
         Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in
         connection therewith, if then applicable) and the period or periods
         within which, the price or prices at which, the currency or currency

                  (k) the denominations in which any Registered Securities of
         the series shall be issuable, if other than denominations of $1,000 and

                  (m) if the amount of payments of principal of and any premium

<PAGE>

                  (s) if so provided, the inapplicability of Section 1008 or
         1009 to the Securities of the series;

                  (t) the date as of which any Bearer Securities of that series
         and any global Security representing Outstanding Securities of that

         the first Security of the series to be issued;

                  (u) if so provided, the inapplicability, of Section 1011 to
         the Securities of the series; and

                  (v) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
         inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture).

         All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any
Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except, in the
case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be
provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto. The terms of such Securities, as set forth above,
may be determined by the Company from time to time if so provided in or
established pursuant to the authority granted in a Board Resolution or in any
such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be
issued at the same time, and unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened
for issuance of additional Securities of such series.

         If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken
pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action
shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the deliveries contemplated by Section
201.

SECTION 302.      DENOMINATIONS.

         Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, any Registered Securities of a series shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and any
Bearer Securities of a series shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000,
and Registered and Bearer Securities shall be payable in Dollars.

SECTION 303.      EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

         The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any of its
Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer
or one of its Assistant Treasurers, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon
and attested to by its Secretary or any one of its Assistant or Deputy
Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be
manual or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of any such
officer of the Company.

         Securities and coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind
the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.



                                       19
<PAGE>

         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with
any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that,
in connection with its sale, during the "restricted period" (as defined in
Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7) of the United States Treasury Regulations), no
Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the
United States; and provided, further, that such Bearer Security (other than a
temporary global Security in bearer form) may be delivered outside the United
States in connection with its sale only if the Person entitled to receive such
Bearer Security shall have furnished to Euro-clear or Clearstream a certificate
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C.1 to this Indenture. If any
Security shall be represented by a permanent global Bearer Security, then, for
purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's
interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a
portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to constitute, for the
purposes of the preceding sentence, delivery of a Bearer Security. Each Bearer
Security and any coupons appertaining thereto will bear a legend substantially
to the following effect: "Any United States person who holds this obligation
will be subject to limitations under the United States income tax laws,
including the limitations provided in Sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code." Except as permitted by Section 304 or 306, the Trustee
shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant
coupons for interest then matured have been detached and canceled. If all the
Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one time and if a Board
Resolution relating to such Securities shall so permit, such Company Order may
set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such
Securities, including, without limitation, procedures with respect to
establishing the interest rate, Stated Maturity Date, date of issuance and date
from which interest, if any, shall accrue.

         If the forms or terms of the Securities of the series and any related
coupons have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating:

                  (a) if the forms of such Securities and any coupons have been
         established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by
         Section 201, that such forms have been established in conformity with
         the provision of this Indenture;

                  (b) if the terms of such Securities and any coupons (or the
         manner of determining such terms) have been established by or pursuant
         to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms (or
         the manner of determining such terms) have been established in
         conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

                  (c) that Securities, together with any coupons appertaining
         thereto, when (x) completed by appropriate insertions and executed and
         delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in
         accordance with this Indenture, (y) authenticated and delivered by the
         Trustee in accordance with this Indenture within the authorization as
         to aggregate principal amount established from time to time by the
         Board of Directors and



                                       20
<PAGE>

         (z) sold by the Company in the manner specified in such Opinion of
         Counsel, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
         the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to
         enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
         moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
         generally, to general equitable principles, to an implied covenant of
         good faith and fair dealing and to such other qualifications as such
         counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights and Holders
         of such Securities, or, such Opinion of Counsel, at the option of the
         opinion giver, may state that it is governed by, and shall be
         interpreted in accordance with, the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA
         Section of Business Law then in effect; and

                  (d) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

         If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not
be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraphs, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution otherwise
required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order, the Officers' Certificate
and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs
or Sections 102 and 201 at or prior to the authentication of each Security of
such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication
upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

         Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication,
and, unless otherwise contemplated by Section 301, each Bearer Security and any
temporary or permanent Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the
date of original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

         No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and
such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply
with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating
that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

         Each U.S. Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301 for a global
Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all
times while it serves as U.S.



                                       21

Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation.

SECTION 304.      TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

         Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the manner specified in Section 303, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities
in lieu of which they are issued in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer
form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities and coupons may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities. In the case of any series issuable as Bearer
Securities, such temporary Securities may be in global form.

         Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall
be exchanged only in accordance with the provisions of the following
paragraphs), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section
1002 in a Place of Payment for such series for the purpose of exchanges of
Securities of such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied
by any unmatured coupons and matured coupons in default, if any, appertaining
thereto) the Company shall execute and (in accordance with a Company Order
delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first definitive Security of
such series) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and
of like tenor of authorized denominations; provided, however, that no definitive
Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for temporary Registered
Securities; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with
the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until exchanged as hereinabove
provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of
the same series and with like terms and conditions, except as to payment of
interest, if any, authenticated and delivered hereunder.

         If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any
such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be
delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common
Depositary"), for the benefit of Euro-clear and Clearstream, for credit to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such
other accounts as they may direct).

         Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global
Security which (subject to any applicable laws and regulations) shall be after
the conclusion of the restricted period, as defined in Section 303, or within a
reasonable period of time thereafter (the "Exchange Date"), the



                                       22
<PAGE>

Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global
Security, or, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301, a permanent global
Security, in either case, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date
such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to
the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such
temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as
the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive
Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security
shall be in definitive bearer form, definitive registered form, permanent global
bearer form, permanent global registered form or any combination thereof, as
specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so
specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however,
that, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global
Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent
date and signed by Euro-clear as to the portion of such temporary global
Security held for its account then to be exchanged for a Bearer Security and a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by
Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its
account then to be exchanged for a Bearer Security, each substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit C.2 to this Indenture; provided, further, that
definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a
temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section
303; and provided, further, that no definitive Bearer Securities shall be
delivered in exchange for temporary Registered Securities.

         Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global
Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of
like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs
Euro-clear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his
behalf and delivers to Euro-clear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a
certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C.1 to this
Indenture, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of
which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euro-clear and
Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of
Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary
global Security, exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owner
of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive
Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like
in the event that such Person does not take delivery of such definitive
Securities in person at the offices of Euro-clear or Clearstream. Definitive
Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a
temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.

         Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring
prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euro-clear and
Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euro-clear and
Clearstream to the Trustee of a certificate or



                                       23
<PAGE>

certificates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C.2 to this
Indenture, for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment
Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of
such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each
delivered to Euro-clear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C.1 to this Indenture. Any
interest so received by Euro-clear and Clearstream and not paid as herein
provided shall be returned to the Trustee immediately prior to the expiration of
two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company
in accordance with Section 1003.

SECTION 305.      REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

         With respect to the Securities of each series, the Company shall cause
to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance
with Section 1002 a register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Registered Securities and the registration of transfers of
Registered Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for
the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered
Securities as herein provided.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security
of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to
Section 1002 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for such series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities
of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 304,
unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Registered Securities
in definitive form, a global Security representing all or a portion of the
Registered Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by
the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee
of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or
by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series
or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

         At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be
exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender
of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Bearer Securities may not be issued in
exchange for Registered Securities.

         At the option of the Holder upon request confirmed in writing, Bearer
Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same
series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount
and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such
office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all



                                       24
<PAGE>

matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer
Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured
coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer
Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company (or to
the Trustee in case of matured coupons in default) in an amount equal to the
face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which
such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive
the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at any such office or agency
located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, in case a Bearer Security of
any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (a) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (b) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be (or, if
such coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such coupon shall be
returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or
Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be
payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

         Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities
which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable
only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a
permanent global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Securities
of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form
and denomination, as contemplated by Section 301, then without unnecessary delay
but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be
so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of
that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
permanent global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest
date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global
Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the Common Depositary or
the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, to be exchanged, in whole or in part,
for definitive Securities of the same series. Such surrender shall be in
accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Common Depositary or
the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing
but need not comply with Section 102 or be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the
Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose. The Trustee shall



                                       25
<PAGE>

authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of
such surrendered permanent global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like
tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged which
(unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities
and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged
for the permanent global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which
the Securities are issuable, as contemplated by Section 301) shall be in the
form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof,
as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that
no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and
ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that no Bearer
Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security
shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States.
Promptly following any such exchange in part, such permanent global Security
shall be returned by the Trustee to the Common Depositary or the U.S.
Depositary, as the case may be, or such other depositary or Common Depositary or
U.S. Depositary referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the
Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for
any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the
office or agency where such exchange occurs on (a) any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest
Payment Date, or (b) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business
at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or
Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, such interest or Defaulted Interest will
not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be,
only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent
global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

         If at any time the Depositary for Securities in registered form
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Securities shall
no longer be eligible under Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor
Depositary with respect to such Securities. If a successor Depositary for such
Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's
election pursuant to Section 301 shall no longer be effective with respect to
the Securities for such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities
of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the global Security or Securities representing such series
in exchange for such global Security or Securities.

         The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more global
Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities.
In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Registered
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Registered Securities
of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the global Security or Securities representing such
series in exchange for such global Security or Securities.



                                       26
<PAGE>

         If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a
series of Securities in registered form, the Depositary for such series of
Securities may surrender a global Security for such series of Securities in
exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series of like tenor and
terms and in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and
such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to each Person specified
by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like
tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Depositary in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
Person's beneficial interest in the global Security; and (ii) to such Depositary
a new global Security of like tenor and terms and in a denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered global
Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders
thereof.

         Upon the exchange of a global Security for Securities in definitive
form, such global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Registered
Securities issued in exchange for a global Security pursuant to this Section
shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The
Trustee shall deliver such Registered Security to the persons in whose names
such Securities are so requested.

         All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same
debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

         Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or
any transfer agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written and duly
executed instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar or any transfer agent, by the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing.

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

         The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be
redeemed and ending at the close of business on (i) if Securities of the series
are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the
relevant notice of redemption and (ii) if Securities of the series are issuable
as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of
redemption or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered
Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered
Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (c) to exchange any Bearer
Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be
exchanged for a Registered Security of that same series of a



                                       27
<PAGE>

like principal amount and tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption.

SECTION 306.      MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITY AND COUPONS.

         If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such mutilated
Security or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains,
a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding
to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the
Security to which such mutilated coupon appertains.

         If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or
coupon and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen
coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen),
a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding
to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security
or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

         In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or
coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or coupon
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or coupon)
if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and
any agent of any of them harmless, and in the case of destruction, loss or
theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of
them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership
thereof; provided, however, that the principal of (and premium, if any) and any
interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section
1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States.

         Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

         Every new Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in
exchange for any mutilated Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed,



                                       28
<PAGE>

lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such
new Security and coupons, if any, shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that
series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons.

SECTION 307.      PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

         Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, interest on any Registered Security which is
payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, provided, however that, except as otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable at Maturity will be
payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable.

         Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series,
payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company (i) in the case of
Registered Securities, by check mailed or delivered to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by
wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located inside
the United States as specified in the Security Register, (ii) in the case of
Bearer Securities, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, upon
presentation and surrender of the appropriate coupon appertaining thereto at an
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment located outside the United
States or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States.

         Unless otherwise provided or contemplated by Section 301, every
permanent global Security held by a Common Depositary will provide that
interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of
Euro-clear and Clearstream with respect to that portion of such permanent global
Security held for its account by the Common Depositary. Each of Euro-clear and
Clearstream will in such circumstances credit the interest received by it in
respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial
owners thereof.

         Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable,
but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
(herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder,
and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election, as
provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

                  (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
         Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of
         such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered
         at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
         such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner:
         The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
         Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of
         such series and the date of the



                                       29
<PAGE>

         proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with
         the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed
         to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
         arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the
         date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
         trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
         Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
         Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which
         shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
         date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
         receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
         Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date
         and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice
         of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
         Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
         Holder of Registered Securities of such series at the address of such
         Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days
         prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of
         such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having
         been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
         whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their
         respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
         business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
         pursuant to the following clause (b).

                  (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on
         the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not
         inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which
         such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
         by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company, to the Trustee
         of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment
         shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

         Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305,
each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security.

SECTION 308.      PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 203, prior to due presentment
of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
(subject to Sections 305 and 307) any interest on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

         Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery. Except as otherwise provided in Section 203, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any
Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such
Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment



                                       30
<PAGE>

thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor
any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

SECTION 309.      CANCELLATION.

         All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee. All Securities and coupons so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. All Securities and coupons held by the Trustee pending
such cancellation shall be deemed to be delivered for cancellation for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Securities. The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled
Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee
in accordance with its standard procedures and the Trustee shall furnish a
certificate of such disposition to the Company.

SECTION 310.      COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

         Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any
series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 311.      APPOINTMENT AND RESIGNATION OF SUCCESSOR CURRENCY
                  DETERMINATION AGENT.

         may be payable in a currency unit or a currency other than Dollars, or
         so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture,
         then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of

         Company will cause the Currency Determination Agent to make the
         necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner
         specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of determining the

         or currency unit for the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and
         interest, if any.

         Agent and no appointment of a successor Currency Determination Agent
         pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of

         removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in
         the office of the Currency Determination Agent for any cause, with
         respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a

of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

                           Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit,
                           defeasance and discharge will not cause such
                           Securities to be delisted; and

                  (vi)     the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

                           entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of
                           any such series have been complied with and an
                           Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either (A) as a
                           result of such deposit and the related exercise of
                           the Company's option under this Section 401,
                           registration is not required under the Investment
                           Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, the

                           or (B) all necessary registrations under said Act
                           have been effected.

         Any deposits with the Trustee referred to in Section 401(i)(B) above
shall be irrevocable and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust
agreement in form satisfactory to the Trustee. If any Outstanding Securities of

pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any
mandatory sinking fund requirement, the applicable escrow trust agreement shall
provide therefor and the Company shall make such irrevocable arrangements as are
satisfactory to the

with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series, the terms and
conditions of such series, including the terms and conditions with respect
thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or
applicable to, the Company and the Holders of the Securities of such series and
any related coupons shall look for payment only to the funds or obligations
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 401; provided, however, that
in no event shall the Company be discharged from (i) any payment obligations in
respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding
under clause (c) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be
valid obligations of the Company under applicable law, (ii) any obligations to
the Trustee under Sections 402(b), 607, 610, 611, 1004, 1011 and the last
paragraph of Section 1003 and (iii) from any obligations under Sections 304, 305
and 306 (except such Securities issued upon registration of transfer or exchange
or in lieu of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and any related
coupons shall not be obligations of the Company) and Sections 516, 701, 1002,
1003 and 1004.

SECTION 402.      APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

                  (a) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
         1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 or
         1011 shall be held irrevocably in trust and shall be made under the
         terms of an escrow trust agreement in form satisfactory to the Trustee
         and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities,
         the coupons and this Indenture and such escrow trust agreement, to the
         payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
         Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
         to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any)
         and any interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with
         the Trustee.

                  (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee for
         any series of Securities against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
         on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant
         to Section 401 or Section 1011 or the interest and principal received
         in respect of such U.S. Government Obligations other than any such tax,
         fee or other charge which by law is payable by or on behalf of Holders.
         The obligation of the Company under this Section 402(b) shall be deemed
         to be an obligation of the Company under Section 607(b).

SECTION 403.      SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

         Upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Section 401 or
Section 405 as to the satisfaction and discharge of each series of Securities
issued hereunder, and if the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other
sums payable under this Indenture and if the Company shall have determined not
to issue any additional series of Securities hereunder and shall have given
notice of such determination to the Trustees for all series of Securities, this
Indenture shall cease to be of any further effect (except as otherwise provided
herein). Upon Company Request and receipt of an Opinion of Counsel and an
Officers' Certificate complying



                                       35

with the provisions of Section 102, the Trustees for all series of Securities
(at the expense of the Company) shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 404.      REINSTATEMENT.

         If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 401 by reason of any order or judgment of
any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under this Indenture,
the Securities and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 until
such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 401; provided, however, that if the
Company has made any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any
Securities or coupons because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities or
coupons to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by the Trustee.

SECTION 405.      SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF SECURITIES OF A
                  SERIES AT THE STATED MATURITY DATE OR UPON
                  REDEMPTION.

         If at any time (a) the Company shall have delivered or caused to be
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of a series theretofore
authenticated (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided
in Section 306), and not theretofore cancelled, or (b) all Securities of such
series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have
become due and payable (either upon the Stated Maturity Date or upon
redemption), and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee as trust funds the
entire amount sufficient to pay at the Stated Maturity Date or upon redemption
all Securities of such series (other than any Securities of such series which
shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 306) not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any and interest,
if any, due to such Stated Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be,
such funds to be immediately due and payable to the Holders of the Securities of
such series, and if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be
paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, and shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the
satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding
Securities of such series have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to
the same effect, then this Indenture with respect to such series shall cease to
be of further effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall,
upon Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of
and discharge of such indebtedness.

         or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer
         or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable
         bankruptcy law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or
         to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver,
         liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the
         Company or of any substantial part of its property or the making by it
         of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it
         in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
         due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of
         any such action; or

                  (g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the
         Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 301.

SECTION 502.      ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing then in every such case either the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series may declare the entire principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of
that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of
all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a
notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders),
and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount),
together with any accrued interest and all other amounts owing thereunder or
hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

         At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than
non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due
solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 513 and all amounts owing under Section 607 have been paid.

         No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereof.

SECTION 503.      COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR
                  ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

         The Company covenants that if

                  (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any
         Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
         continues for a period of 30 days, or



                                       38
<PAGE>

                  (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
         premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and any interest
and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue
interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities and, in
addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607.

         Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities to
the Persons entitled thereto, whether or not the principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on the Securities are overdue.

         If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceedings to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever
situated.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series
and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy.

SECTION 504.      TRUSTEE 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 the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities, or to the property of the Company or such other obligor, or to their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

                  (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
         principal (and premium, if any) and any interest owing and unpaid in
         respect of the Securities and to file such other papers as may be
         necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
         (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
         disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and
         all other amounts due to the Trustee



                                       39
<PAGE>

         under Section 607) and of the Holders of Securities and coupons allowed
         in such judicial proceedings;

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

                  (c) unless prohibited by law or applicable regulation, to vote
         on behalf of the Holders of the Securities in any election of a trustee
         in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee and,
in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders of Securities and coupons, to pay to the Trustee any
amounts due to it for reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the
Trustee under Section 607.

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee for
the Securities to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of
any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding, except, as
aforesaid, for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person
performing similar functions.

SECTION 505.      TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES
                  OR COUPONS.

         All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities
or the coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which
such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 506.      APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

         Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and,
in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium,
if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as
the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid
and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

         FIRST: to the payment of the amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;

         SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal
of (and premium, if any) and any interest on the Securities and coupons in
respect of which or for the



                                       40
<PAGE>

benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and any interest,
respectively; and

         THIRD:  the balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

SECTION 507.      LIMITATIONS ON SUITS.

         No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupons shall
have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect
to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless:

                  (a) an Event of Default with respect to such series shall have
         occurred and be continuing and such Holder shall have previously given
         written notice to the Trustee of such continuing Event of Default with
         respect to the Securities of that series;

                  (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written
         request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
         Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

                  (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee
         reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
         incurred in compliance with such request;

                  (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
         request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
         proceeding; and

                  (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
         majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
         series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of
such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such
Holders.

SECTION 508.      UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM
                  AND INTEREST.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Security or coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
(subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security or payment of such coupon
on the Stated Maturity Date or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.



                                       41
<PAGE>

SECTION 509.      RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

         If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding has been instituted.

SECTION 510.      RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

         Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last
paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 511.      DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

         No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or
coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article
or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.

SECTION 512.      CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.

         The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series, provided that

                  (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
         law or with this Indenture or expose the Trustee to personal liability
         or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein, and

                  (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
         Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 513.      WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

         The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Securities of such series and any related



                                       42
<PAGE>

coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to the Securities of such
series and its consequences, except a default

                  (a) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
         any interest on any Security of such series or any related coupon, or

                  (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
         Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
         Holder of each Outstanding Securities of such series affected.

         Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
         of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
         every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
         subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 514.      UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

         All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or
coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such suit (other than the Trustee) of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall (subject to
applicable laws) not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of
any Security or coupon for the enforcement of the payment of the principal (or
premium, if any) or any interest on any Security or the payment of any coupon on
or after the Stated Maturity Date or Maturities expressed in such Security or
coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 515.      WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

         The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

SECTION 516.      JUDGMENT CURRENCY.

         If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect
to any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Security or any related
coupon, it shall become necessary



                                       43
<PAGE>

to convert into any other currency or currency unit any amount in the currency
or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security or coupon, then such
conversion shall be made by the Currency Determination Agent at the Market
Exchange Rate as in effect on the date of entry of the judgment (the "Judgment
Date"). If pursuant to any such judgment, conversion shall be made on a date
(the "Substitute Date") other than the Judgment Date and there shall occur a
change between the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date and
the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Substitute Date, the Company agrees
to pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the
amount paid is equal to the amount in such other currency or currency unit
which, when converted at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment
Date, is the amount due hereunder or under such Security or coupon. Any amount
due from the Company under this Section 516 shall be due as a separate debt and
is not to be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any
other sums due hereunder or in respect of any Security or coupon. In no event,
however, shall the Company be required to pay more in the currency or currency
unit due hereunder or under such Security or coupon at the Market Exchange Rate
as in effect on the Judgment Date than the amount of currency or currency unit
stated to be due hereunder or under such Security or coupon so that in any event
the Company's obligations hereunder or under such Security or coupon will be
effectively maintained as obligations in such currency or currency unit, and the
Company shall be entitled to withhold (or be reimbursed for, as the case may be)
any excess of the amount actually realized upon any such conversion on the
Substitute Date over the amount due and payable on the Judgment Date.

                                  ARTICLE SIX
                                  THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 601.      CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

                  (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with
         respect to a series of Securities;

                           (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
                  only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
                  Indenture with respect to such series, and no implied
                  covenants or obligations with respect to such series shall be
                  read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

                           (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
                  Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
                  statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
                  therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
                  Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
                  but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
                  any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
                  to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
                  the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
                  requirements of this Indenture.

                  (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to a series of
         Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
         such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with
         respect to such series, and use the same degree of care and skill in
         their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
         circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.



                                       44
<PAGE>

                  (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
         relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
         own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except
         that

                  (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
         of Subsection (a) of this Section;

                  (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
         made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved
         that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                  (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
         taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
         accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal
         amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as
         provided in Section 512, relating to the time, method and place of
         conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
         exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
         Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

                  (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
         to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
         liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
         exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
         grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
         indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
         it.

                  (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
         provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the
         liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to
         the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 602.      NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

         Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit to the
Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 703(c), notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund
installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in
the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series and related coupons;
and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character
specified in Section 501(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such
notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence
thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term `default' means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of such series.

SECTION 603.      CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

                  (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
         refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
         instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
         order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or
         other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
         signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

                  (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein
         shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order
         or as otherwise expressly provided herein and any resolution of the
         Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

                  (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
         Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
         prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
         Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may,
         in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers'
         Certificate;

                  (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written
         advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
         complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
         suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
         thereon;

                  (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
         or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any
         related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall
         have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against
         the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
         compliance with such request or direction;

                  (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
         consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of
         indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
         discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
         facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine
         to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
         examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or
         by agent or attorney;

                  (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible
         for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney
         appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

<PAGE>

                  (h)      the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
         a default or an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
         Trustee has received notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.



SECTION 604.      SECTION 604. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF
                  SECURITIES.

         The recitals contained herein (except the description of the Trustee)
and in the Securities (except the Trustee's certificates of authentication) and
in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or coupons. Neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 605.      MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

         The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject
to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 606.      MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

         Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be

otherwise agreed with the Company.

SECTION 607.      COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

         The Company agrees

                  (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
         compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
         compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
         the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

                  (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
         reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
         disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
         accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
         reasonable compensation and the expense and disbursements of its agents
         and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
         be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

                  (c) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents, including any
         Authenticating Agent, for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
         liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their
         part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
         administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or the performance of
         their




                                       47
<PAGE>

         duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of
         defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with
         the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

         As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
particular Securities.

SECTION 608.      DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

         The Trustee for the Securities shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time required
thereby. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the
Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section
310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. In determining whether the Trustee has a
conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act
with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded Securities
of any particular series of Securities other than that series, the Indenture
dated as of November 15, 1991, among Scripps Howard, Inc, as Issuer, The E.W.
Scripps Company, as Guarantor, and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as
Chemical Bank), as Trustee, and the Indenture dated as of September 29, 1997,
between The E.W. Scripps Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The
Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee.

SECTION 609.      CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

         There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and, if there be such a corporation qualified and willing to act upon
customary and reasonable terms, having its Corporate Trust Office in Cincinnati,
Ohio or The City of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall serve as Trustee for
the Securities. A different Trustee may be appointed by the Company for any
series of Securities prior to the issuance of such Securities. If at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 610.      RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

                  (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
         appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
         become effective until the acceptance of



                                       48
<PAGE>

         appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
         requirements of Section 611.

                  (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
         Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to
         the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
         required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
         within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
         resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
         of such series.

                  (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
         Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered
         to the Trustee and the Company.

                  (d) If at any time:

                           (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section
                  310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 608
                  hereof after written request therefor by the Company or any
                  Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
                  Security for at least six months, unless the Trustee's duty to
                  resign is stayed in accordance with the provisions of Section
                  310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, or

                           (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
                  Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request
                  therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or

                           (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or
                  shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the
                  Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
                  officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
                  property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
                  conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any
Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

                  (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
         incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
         Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
         series, the Company, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
         successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or
         those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may
         be appointed with respect to the Securities of one of more or all of
         such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
         respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply
         with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within sixty (60)
         days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence
         of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
         any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered
         to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
         appointed shall, forthwith



                                       49
<PAGE>

         upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
         applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee
         with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent
         supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no
         successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall
         have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and
         accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, and if the
         Trustee is still incapable of acting, the Trustee or any Holder of a
         Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series
         for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
         similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
         of such series.

                  (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
         removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and
         each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
         of any series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall
         include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust
         Office.

SECTION 611.      ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

                  (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
         Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so
         appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the
         retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and
         thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
         become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
         deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
         trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the
         Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
         payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
         to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
         retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
         successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
         hereunder, subject, nevertheless, to its lien, if any, provided for in
         Section 607.

                  (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of one of more (but not all)
         series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
         with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and
         deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee
         shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
         provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm
         to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
         trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
         successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring
         with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall
         be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
         powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is
         not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
         (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
         shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of
         the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
         nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall



                                       50
<PAGE>

         constitute such Trustees as co-trustees of the same trust and that each
         such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
         and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other
         such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
         indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
         become effective to the extent provided therein and each successor
         Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
         vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which
         the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
         the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly
         assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
         money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
         successor Trustee relates, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any,
         provided for in Section 607.

                  (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company
         shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
         vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
         powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section,
         as the case may be.

                  (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless
         at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
         qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 612.      MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.

         Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee thereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent then in office,
any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating
Trustee, or successor Authenticating Agent, (if eligible under Section 614), as
the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor
Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 613.      PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

                  (a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee
         shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or
         unsecured, of the Company within three months prior to a default, as
         defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a
         default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the
         Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit
         of the Trustee individually, the Holders



                                       51
<PAGE>

                  of the Securities and coupons and the holders of other
                  indenture securities, as defined in Subsection (c) of this
                  Section:

                           (iv) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the
                  amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in
                  respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning
                  of such three months' period and valid as against the Company
                  and other creditors of the Company, except any such reduction
                  resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property
                  described in paragraph (ii) of this Subsection, or from the
                  exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have
                  exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or
                  against the Company upon the date of such default; and

                           (v) all property received by the Trustee in respect
                  of any claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or
                  in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after
                  the beginning of such three months' period, or an amount equal
                  to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject,
                  however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and other
                  creditors of the Company in such property or such proceeds.

         Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the
Trustee:

                  (A)      to retain for its own account (1) payments made on
                           account of any such claim by any Person (other than
                           the Company) who is liable thereon, and (2) the
                           proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by
                           the Trustee to a third Person, and (3) distributions
                           made in cash, securities or other property in respect
                           of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or
                           receivership or in proceedings for reorganization
                           pursuant to any applicable bankruptcy law;

                  (B)      to realize, for its own account, upon any property
                           held by it as security for any such claim, if such
                           property was so held prior to the beginning of such
                           three months' period;

                  (C)      to realize, for its own account, but only to the
                           extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any
                           property held by it as security for any such claim,
                           if such claim was created after the beginning of such
                           three months' period and such property was received
                           as security therefor simultaneously with the creation
                           thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden
                           of proving that at the time such property was so
                           received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to
                           believe that a default, as defined in Subsection (c)
                           of this Section, would occur within three months; or

                  (D)      to receive payment on any claim referred to in
                           paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any
                           property held as security for such claim as provided
                           in paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the
                           extent of the fair value of such property.



                                       52
<PAGE>

         For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted
after the beginning of such three months' period for property held as security
at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the
property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the
extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding
any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have
the same status as such pre-existing claim.

         If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property
held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among
the Trustee, the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture
securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Holders of Securities and the
holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such
special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in
bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to any
applicable bankruptcy law, the same percentage of their respective claims,
figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the
receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account
and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee and the Holders of
Securities and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims
filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
reorganization pursuant to any applicable bankruptcy law, but after crediting
thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective
claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and
property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with
respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with
respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or proceedings for
reorganization pursuant to any applicable bankruptcy law, whether such
distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not
include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of
such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceedings for
reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (x) to apportion among the
trustee, the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture
securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and
property held in such special account and proceeds thereof, or (y) in lieu of
such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this
paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to
be made to the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and the holders of other
indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it
shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities
or other property held in such special account or as security for any such
claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the
secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the
provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.

         Any Trustee which has resigned or been removed after the beginning of
such three months' period shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection
as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has
resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three months' period, it
shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection if and only if the
following conditions exist:

                           (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim,
                  which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if
                  such Trustee had continued as Trustee, occurred after the
                  beginning of such three months' period; and

                                       53
<PAGE>

                           (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim
                  occurred within three months after such resignation or
                  removal.

                  (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection
         (a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from:

                           (iii) the ownership or acquisition of securities
                  issued under any indenture, or any security or securities
                  having a maturity of one year or more at the time of
                  acquisition by the Trustee;

                           (iv) advances authorized by a receivership or
                  bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by this
                  Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which
                  shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture or
                  of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances
                  thereon, if notice of such advances and of the circumstances
                  surrounding the making thereof is given to the Holders of
                  Securities at the time and in the manner provided in this
                  Indenture;

                           (v) disbursements made in the ordinary course of
                  business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture,
                  transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal
                  agent or depositary, or other similar capacity;

                           (vi) an indebtedness created as a result of services
                  rendered or premises rented, or an indebtedness created as a
                  result of goods or securities sold in cash transaction, as
                  defined in Subsection (c) of this Section;

                           (vii) the ownership of stock or of other securities
                  of a corporation organized under the provisions of Section
                  25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is
                  directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company; and

                           (viii) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or
                  negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or
                  obligations which fall within the classification of
                  self-liquidating paper, as defined in Subsection (c) of this
                  Section.

                  (c) For the purposes of this Section only:

                           (i) the term "default" means any failure to make
                  payment in full of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
                  interest on any of the Securities or upon the other indenture

                  Trustee is also trustee, (B) which contains provisions
                  substantially similar to the provisions of this Section, and
                  (C) under which a default exists at the time of the

SECTION 614.      APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

         The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section
306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a
combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating
Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then, for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

         Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of such Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of
the Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise




                                       55
<PAGE>

eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent.

         An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 105.
Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in
case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and
shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities in the
manner set forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights,
powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

         The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 607.

         If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

         This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein and
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

SECTION 701.      COMPANY TO FURNISH TRUSTEE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF HOLDERS.

         The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of each Series:

                  (a) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each January 15
         and July 15, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
         require, containing all the information in

         other than the Trustee, as to the names and addresses of the Holders of
         Securities as of such dates, and

                  (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,

         list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days
         prior to the time such list is furnished;

provided that no such lists shall be required to be furnished so long as the
Trustee is acting as Security Registrar.

SECTION 702.      PRESERVATION OF INFORMATION; COMMUNICATION TO HOLDERS.

                  (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
         reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of
         Securities of each Series (i) contained in the most recent lists
         furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 701, (ii) received by
         the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar, if so acting, and
         (iii) filed with it within the two preceding years pursuant to Section

         provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so furnished, (ii)
         destroy any information received by it as Paying Agent, if so acting,
         upon delivering to itself as Trustee, not earlier than January 15 or
         July 15, a list containing the names and addresses of the Holders of
         Securities obtained from such information since the delivery of the
         next previous list, if any, (iii) destroy any list delivered to itself
         as Trustee which was compiled from information received by it as Paying
         Agent, if so acting, upon the receipt of a new list so delivered, and
         (iv) destroy not earlier than two years after filing any information
         filed with it pursuant to Section 703(c)(ii).

                  (b) If three or more Holders of Securities of a series (herein
         referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and
         furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has
         owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months
         preceding the date of such application, and such application states
         that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of
         Securities of such series with respect to their rights under this
         Indenture or under the Securities of such series and is accompanied by
         a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such
         applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five
         Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election,
         either

                  (i)      afford such applicants access to the information
                           preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance
                           with Section 702(a), or

                  (ii)     inform such applicants as to the approximate number
                           of Holders of Securities of such series whose names
                           and addresses appear in the information preserved at
                           the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section
                           702(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to
                           such Holders the form of proxy or other
                           communication, if any, specified in such application.



                                       57
<PAGE>

                  If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants
         access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request
         of such applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities of such series
         whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time
         by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a) a copy of the form of
         proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with
         reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to
         be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
         reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after tender
         the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission,
         together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement
         to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would
         be contrary to the best interest of the Holders of Securities of such
         series or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written
         statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission,
         after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the
         written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain
         any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining
         one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice
         and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have
         been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail
         copies of such material to all such Holders of Securities of such
         series with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the
         renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
         obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

                  (c) Every Holder of Securities or coupons, by receiving and
         holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither
         the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be held
         accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
         the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with
         Section 702(b), regardless of the source from which such information
         was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
         reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section
         702(b).

         Trust Indenture Act, transmit by mail to the Holders of Securities, as

                           Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances
                           surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee

                           advances so remaining unpaid that aggregate not more
                           than 1/2 of 1% of the principal amount of the

         transmission to Holders of Securities, be filed by the Trustee with

         material respect; or

                  (k) to add to or change or eliminate any provision of this

Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons under this
Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, without the consent of
the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

                  (a) change the Stated Maturity Date of the principal of, or

         provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their
         consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or reduce the

other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for
the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies
the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance
thereof.

into under Section 901(h)) be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

         Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall
if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall

SECTION 1001.     PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.

         The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium
and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of
the Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities and except as provided in the following sentence, any interest due on
Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are
evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest, if any, due in respect
of a temporary or permanent global Security, together with any additional
amounts payable in respect thereof, as provided in the terms and conditions of
such Security, shall be payable, subject to the conditions set forth in Section
1004, only upon presentation of such Security to the Trustee thereof for
notation thereon of the payment of such interest; provided, however, that, in

only outside the United States unless payment in Dollars of the full amount of
such interest or any additional amounts payable in respect thereof at all
offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for that purpose by the
Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by
exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

SECTION 1002.     MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

         If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities,
the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if Securities of a
series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain (a) in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or Cincinnati, Ohio, an office or
agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and
where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented or
surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following
paragraph (and not otherwise), (b) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the
United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related
coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
additional amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section
1004); provided, however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on
the London Stock Exchange, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock
exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so
require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that
series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the
United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are
listed on such exchange, and (c) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States
an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the
location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that
series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that
series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment
(including payment of any additional amounts payable on Bearer Securities of
that series pursuant to Section 1004) at the offices outside the United States
specified in the Security, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent
to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, no
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on Bearer Securities shall
be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check
mailed to any address in the United States or by wire transfer to an account
maintained with a bank located in the United States, provided, however, that, if
the Securities of a series are denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of
principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer Security (including any
additional amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section
1004) shall be made at the office of the



                                       66

Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or
Cincinnati, Ohio, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such
principal of and any premium, interest or additional amounts, as the case may
be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for that
purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind
such designations or approve a change in location of any such other office or
agency; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in
accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series
for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
and the Holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent and designates
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as its office for the purposes of and
pursuant to this Section 1002.

SECTION 1003.     MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

         If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with
respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of and any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that
series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest so
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

         Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of and
any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent
is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

         The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

                  (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal
         of and any premium or interest on Securities of that series in trust
         for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall
         be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

                  (b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or
         any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of
         any payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the
         Securities of that series; and



                                       67
<PAGE>

                  (c) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
         upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
         all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

         The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

         Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable
shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat
or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust;
and the Holder of such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto shall,
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be given in the manner and to the extent
provided by Section 106 notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after
a date specified therein which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such notification, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will,
unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or
abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 1004.     ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS.

         If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional
amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or
any coupon appertaining thereto additional amounts as provided therein. Whenever
in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of
any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the
sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in this
Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or
would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section
and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any
provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in
those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

         If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional
amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect
to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear
interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of



                                       68
<PAGE>

principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change
with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers'
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers'
Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents
whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the
Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series
or any related coupons who are United States Aliens without withholding for or
on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the
Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to
be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or coupons and the
Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts
required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any
Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in
reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 1005.     STATEMENTS AS TO COMPLIANCE.

         The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year, a written statement signed by the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the
Company stating that:

                  (1)      a review of the activities of the Company during such
                           year and of performance under this Indenture has been
                           made under his supervision; and

                  (2)      to the best of his knowledge, based on such review,
                           the Company is (or is not) in compliance with all
                           conditions and covenants under this Indenture, and if
                           the signer has obtained knowledge of any default by
                           the Company in the performance, observance or
                           fulfillment of any such condition or covenant,
                           specifying each such default and the nature and
                           status thereof.

         For purposes of this Section, such compliance shall be determined
without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under
this Indenture.

SECTION 1006.     CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

         Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence.

SECTION 1007.     PURCHASE OF SECURITIES BY COMPANY OR SUBSIDIARY.

         If and so long as the Securities of a series are listed on the London
Stock Exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will not,
and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, purchase any Securities of that
series by private treaty at a price (exclusive of expenses and accrued interest)
which exceeds 120% of the mean of the nominal quotations of the



                                       69

Securities of that series as shown in The Stock Exchange Daily Official List for
the last trading day preceding the date of purchase.

SECTION 1008.     LIENS ON ASSETS.

         Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 1008, so long as any
Security shall remain Outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, create or suffer to exist any Mortgage, or otherwise subject to
any Mortgage the whole or any part of any property or assets now owned or
hereafter acquired by any of them, without securing, or causing such Subsidiary
to secure, the Outstanding Securities, and any Indebtedness of the Company and
such Subsidiary which may then be outstanding and entitled to the benefit of a
covenant similar in effect to this covenant, equally and ratably with the
Indebtedness secured by such Mortgage, for as long as any such Indebtedness is
so secured. The foregoing covenant does not apply to the creation, extension,
renewal or refunding of the following:

                  (a) any Mortgage on any property of a corporation existing at
         the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with, or at
         the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary of, the Company or any
         Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the
         assets of a corporation or other entity as an entirety or substantially
         as an entirety to the Company or such Subsidiary; provided, however,
         that such Mortgage does not spread (i) to other property at such time
         owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) with respect to
         a merger or consolidation only, to other property thereafter acquired;

                  (b) any Mortgage (i) on any property acquired or constructed
         by the Company or any Subsidiary to secure all or a portion of the
         price of such acquisition or construction or funds borrowed to pay all
         or a portion of the price of such acquisition or construction
         (including any Capitalized Lease Obligation) or (ii) to which any
         property or asset acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary is subject
         as of the date of its acquisition by the Company or such Subsidiary;

                  (c) any Mortgage to secure public or statutory obligations or
         with any governmental agency at any time required by law in order to
         qualify the Company or any Subsidiary to conduct its business or any
         part thereof or in order to entitle it to maintain self-insurance or to
         obtain the benefits of any law relating to workers' compensation,
         unemployment insurance, old age pensions or other social security, or
         with any court, board, commission, or governmental agency as security
         incident to the proper conduct of any proceeding before it, including
         any Mortgage securing a letter of credit issued in the ordinary course
         of business in connection with any of the foregoing;

                  (d) any Mortgage securing the performance of bids, tenders,
         leases, contracts (other than for the repayment of borrowed money),
         statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds and other obligations of
         like nature, incurred as an incident to and in the ordinary course of
         business;

                  (e) any Mortgage imposed by law, such as carriers',
         warehousemen's, mechanics', materialmen's suppliers', repairmen's and
         vendors' liens, incurred in good




                                       70
<PAGE>

         faith in the ordinary course of business with respect to obligations
         not delinquent or which are being contested in good faith by
         appropriate proceedings and as to which the Company or the relevant
         Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books
         adequate reserves;

                  (f) any Mortgage securing the payment of taxes, assessments
         and governmental charges or levies, either (i) not delinquent or (ii)
         being contested in good faith by appropriate legal or administrative
         proceedings and as to which the Company or the relevant Subsidiary, as
         the case may be, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves;

                  (g) any Mortgage created by or resulting from any litigation
         or proceeding which is currently being contested in good faith by
         appropriate proceedings and as to which (i) levy and execution have
         been stayed and continue to be stayed and (ii) the Company or the
         relevant Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its
         books adequate reserves; and

                  (h) any Mortgage securing Indebtedness of a wholly owned
         Subsidiary to the Company or to another wholly owned Subsidiary for so
         long as such Indebtedness is held by the Company or such other wholly
         owned Subsidiary, in each case subject to no Mortgage held by a Person
         other than the Company or such other wholly owned Subsidiary.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions of this Section 1008, the
Company and any Subsidiary may at any time create or suffer to exist any
Mortgage which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if the
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by such Mortgage, together
with (i) the aggregate principal amount of all other Indebtedness secured by
Mortgages of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries then outstanding which
would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restriction (not including
Indebtedness secured by Mortgages permitted to be created or exist under
paragraphs (a) through (h) above) and (ii) the aggregate in value of all Sale
and Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries at such time which would be subject to the restrictions of Section
1009 except for the last sentence of such Section, does not at any time exceed
15% of Shareholders' Ownership.

SECTION 1009.     LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into
any Sale and Leaseback Transaction. This covenant shall not apply to any Sale
and Leaseback Transaction if:

                  (a) the lease in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is a for
         a period not exceeding three years and the Company or the Subsidiary
         which is a party to such lease intends that its use of the property or
         asset which is the subject of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction will
         be discontinued on or before the expiration of such period;

                  (b) the sale or transfer of any property or asset subject to
         such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is made prior to, at the time of,
         or within 180 days after the later




                                       71
<PAGE>

         of the date of the acquisition (including acquisition through merger or
         consolidation) of such property or asset or the completion of
         construction or material improvement thereof;

                  (c) the Company or any Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal
         to the value of the property or asset so leased (as determined in any
         manner approved by the Board of Directors) to the retirement, within
         180 days after the effective date of any such arrangement, of any
         Securities or Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries that is
         not subordinate in right of payment to the Securities; provided,
         however, that the amount to be so applied to the retirement of any
         Securities or such Indebtedness may be reduced by (i) the principal
         amount of any Securities delivered within 180 days before or after the
         effective date of any such arrangement to the Trustee for retirement
         and cancellation, and (ii) the principal amount of any such
         Indebtedness, other than Securities, retired (other than at maturity)
         by the Company or a Subsidiary within 180 days before or after the
         effective date of any such arrangement;

                  (d) the lease in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction secures
         or relates to obligations issued by the United States, any state
         thereof or the District of Columbia, or any department, agency or
         instrumentality or political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or by
         any other country or any department, agency or instrumentality or
         political subdivision thereof, or any agent or trustee acting on behalf
         of any of the foregoing or on behalf of the holders of obligations
         issued by any of the foregoing, to finance the acquisition or
         construction or material improvement of the property or asset so
         leased; or

                  (e) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is between or among the
         Company and one or more Subsidiaries, or between or among Subsidiaries.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1009, the
Company and any Subsidiary may at any time enter into a Sale and Leaseback
Transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if
the aggregate in value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, together with (i)
the aggregate in value of all other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into
by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries at such time which would otherwise be
subject to the foregoing restriction (not including Sale and Leaseback
Transactions permitted to be entered into under paragraphs (a) through (e)
above) and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all other Indebtedness secured
by Mortgages of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries then outstanding which
would be subject to the restrictions of Section 1008 except for the last
sentence of such Section, does not at any time exceed 15% of Shareholders'
Ownership.

SECTION 1010.     WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

         The Company may with respect to the Securities of a series omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in
Sections 801(c) and 1006 to 1009, inclusive, and any other covenant not set
forth herein and specified pursuant to Section 301 to be applicable to the
Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of
at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such
instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition,
but no such waiver shall extend to or affect




                                       72
<PAGE>

such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly so waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

inapplicable to Securities of any series, the Company may omit to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 801(c), 1007, 1008 and
1009, and such omission with respect to Sections 801(c), 1007, 1008 and 1009,
shall not be an Event of Default, in each case with respect to Securities of
that series, provided that the following conditions have been satisfied:

         or caused to be deposited with the Trustee irrevocably (but subject to

         as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and
         dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of
         that series, (i) lawful money of the United States (or, if the
         Securities of such series are payable in a currency other than Dollars,
         lawful money of the payment currency) in an amount, or (ii) U.S.
         Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and
         principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
         provide not later than the opening of business on the due dates of any
         payments referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this subparagraph (a)
         lawful money of the United States in an amount, or (iii) a combination
         thereof, sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
         independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
         thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (A) the

         that series on the Stated Maturity Date of such principal or
         installment of principal or interest and (B) any mandatory sinking fund
         payments or analogous payments applicable to Securities of such series
         on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance
         with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and such funds
         have been deposited for 91 days;

         Trustee with respect to the Securities of that series to have a
         conflicting interest as defined in Section 608 and for purposes of the
         Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series;

                  (d) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
         or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or
         instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

                  (e) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of
         notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with
         respect to the Securities of that series shall have occurred and be
         continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of





                                       73
<PAGE>

         Default under Section 501(e) or Section 501(f) or event which with the
         giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of
         Default under Section 501(e) or Section 501(f) shall have occurred and
         be continuing on the 91st day after such date;

         purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain
         obligations and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
         amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
         the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

                  (g) if the Securities of that series are then listed on any
         foreign or domestic securities exchange, the Company has delivered to
         the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit and
         defeasance will not cause such Securities to be delisted; and

                  (h) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
         precedent herein provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated

accordance with this Article.

SECTION 1102.     ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

         The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution. In the case of any redemption at the election of the
Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at
least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be
redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as
shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to
Section 1103. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the
Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such
Securities, the Company shall





                                       74
<PAGE>

furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with
such restriction or condition.

SECTION 1103.     SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

         If less than all the Securities of any series having the same terms are
to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the
Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide
for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of
the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series of a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.
If so specified in the Securities of a series, partial redemptions must be in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 principal amount of Securities.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected
for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

         For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.

SECTION 1104.     NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
106 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (a) the Redemption Date,

                  (b) the Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable, the
         manner of calculation thereof;

                  (c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series
         having the same terms are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in
         the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the
         particular Securities to be redeemed,

                  (d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will
         become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be
         redeemed and, if applicable, the interest thereon will cease to accrue
         on and after said date,



                                       75
<PAGE>

                  (e) the place or places where such Securities, together in the
         case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if
         any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for
         payment of the Redemption Price,

                  (f) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the
         case,

                  (g) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer
         Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
         accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for
         redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be
         deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity
         satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent is
         furnished, and

                  (h) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and
         any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if
         such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not
         subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305
         or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which
         such exchanges may be made.

         A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need
not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.

         Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of
the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 1105.     DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

         Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301) any accrued interest on, all the Securities which
are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 1106.     SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

         Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such
interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the
extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security or
specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price,
together with any accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity Date is
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002)
and, unless otherwise specified as



                                       76
<PAGE>

contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for
such interest; and provided, further, that, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest on Registered Securities
whose Stated Maturity Date is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Sections 305 and 307.

         If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided,
however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

         If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in
the Security.

SECTION 1107.     SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

         Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee
so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of
the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a
Security in permanent global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depositary or Common
Depositary for such Security in permanent global form, without service charge, a
new Security in permanent global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in permanent global
form so surrendered.

                                  SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201.     APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

         The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

         The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking
fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment" If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.

SECTION 1202.     SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.

         The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other
than any previously called for redemption), together in the case of any Bearer
Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, and
(b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either
at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or
through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to
the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of
any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required
to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms
of such series; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 1203.     REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.

         Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202 and shall state the basis for such credit and that such
Securities have not previously been so credited and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered (if not previously delivered). Not
less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall
select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to
be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly



                                       78
<PAGE>

given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107.

adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any adjourned
meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not

         Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution

SECTION 1305.    DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT AND ADJOURNMENT OF
                 MEETINGS.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture,
         the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem
         advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in
         regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the
         appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of
         inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies,
         certificates and other evidence of the right to vote and such other
         matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem
         appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such
         regulation, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner
         specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be
         proved in the manner specified in Section 104 or by having the
         signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by
         any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify
         to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that
         written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be
         presumed valid and genuine without proof specified in Section 104 or
         other proof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
         temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
         called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in
         Section 1302(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities
         of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like
         manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a
         permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the
         Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

                  (c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or
         proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 (or equivalent
         thereof in a foreign currency or currency unit) principal amount of
         Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him;
         provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting
         in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by
         the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the
         meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security
         of such series or proxy.

                  (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly
         called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a quorum is present may be
         adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
         represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned
         without further notice.

SECTION 1306.     COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS.

         The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of
their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of
the Outstanding Securities of such Series held or represented by them. The
permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all



                                       81
<PAGE>

votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and
file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of
the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be
prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said
record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot
taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the
facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said
notice was given as provided in Section 1302 and, if applicable, Section 1304.
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to
the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the
latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so
signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

         * * *

         This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Maturity Date is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the
Holder of this Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the

Clause [(2)] above as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation
by the application, directly or indirectly, of moneys borrowed having an
interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with generally accepted
financial practice) of less than % per annum.]

         [If applicable, insert The sinking fund for this series provides for

year, of [not less than] [U.S.$][payment currency if not U.S.$] [("mandatory

aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. [Securities of this
series acquired or redeemed by the Company otherwise than through [mandatory]

fund payments otherwise required to be made[in the inverse order in which they
become due.]]

         [If applicable, insert--The Securities of this series are not
redeemable prior to maturity.]

         Notice of redemption will be given by mail to Holders of Securities,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption,
all as provided in the Indenture.

         In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor, for the unredeemed
portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof.

         [If applicable, insert--The Indenture contains provisions for
defeasance of (a) the entire indebtedness of this Security and (b) certain
restrictive covenants upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set
forth therein.]

         [If applicable, insert--If so specified on the face hereof, the
interest rate on this Security may be reset by the Company on the date or dates
specified on the face hereof (each an "Optional Reset Date"). Not later than
days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee will mail to the Holder of
this Security a notice (the "Reset Notice") first-class postage prepaid
indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate, and if so
(a) such new interest rate and (b) the provisions, if any, for redemption during
the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date or if
there is no such Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of this
Security (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"),



                                      A-6
<PAGE>

including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during which and
the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent
Interest Period.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than days prior to the
Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate
provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the
Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to mail notice of such higher
interest rate to the Holder of this Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All Registered Securities with respect to which the interest rate is reset on an
Optional Reset Date will bear such higher interest rate.

         The Holder of this Security will have the option to elect repayment by
the Company on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount
hereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain
repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set
forth below for optional repayment except that the period for delivery or
notification to the Trustee shall be at least but not more than days prior to
such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered this
Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written
notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of
business on the day before such Optional Reset Date.]

         [If applicable, insert--If so specified on the face hereof, the
Maturity of this Security may be extended at the option of the Company for the
period or period of whole years specified on the face hereof (each an "Extension
Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the
face hereof. If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee will mail to the
Holder of this Security not later than days prior to the old Stated Maturity
Date a notice (the "Extension Notice") first-class postage prepaid indicating
(a) the election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (b) the new Stated
Maturity Date, (c) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and (d)
the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the
Trustee's mailing of the Extension Notice, the Maturity of this Security shall
be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as
described in the next paragraph, this Security will have the same terms as prior
to the mailing of such Notice.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than days before the old
Stated Maturity Date of this Security the Company may, at its option, revoke the
interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher
interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to mail notice of
such higher interest rate first-class postage prepaid to the Holder of this
Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Registered Securities with
respect to which the Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate.

         If the Company extends the Maturity of this Security, the Holder will
have the option to elect repayment of this Security by the Company on the old
Stated Maturity Date at a price equal to the principal amount hereof, plus
interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the old Stated
Maturity Date once the Company has extended the Maturity hereof, the Holder must
follow the procedures set forth below for optional repayment, except that the
period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least but not
more than days prior to the old Stated Maturity Date and except that, if the
Holder has tendered this Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice,
the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment
until the close of business on the day before the old Stated Maturity Date.]

<PAGE>

         [If applicable, insert--If so specified on the face hereof, this
Security will be repayable prior to Maturity at the option of the Holder on the
Optional Repayment Dates shown on the face hereof at the Optional Repayment
Prices shown on the face hereof together with accrued interest to the date of
repayment. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Trustee must receive at
least but not more than days prior to an Optional Repayment Date (a) this
Security with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed or
(b) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a
national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States of America
setting forth the name of the Holder of this Security, the principal amount of
the Security to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor
and terms of this Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is
being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Security with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed will be received by the
Trustee not later than Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter. If the procedure described in clause (b) of
the preceding sentence is followed, this Security with such form duly completed
must be received by the Trustee by such Business Day. Any tender of this
Security for repayment [(except pursuant to a Reset Notice or an Extension
Notice)] shall be irrevocable. The repayment option may be exercised by the
Holder of this Security for less than the entire principal amount of the
Security provided that the principal amount of the Security remaining
Outstanding after repayment is an authorized denomination. Upon such partial
repayment this Security shall be canceled and a new Security or Securities for
the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
of this Security.]

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Securities at the
time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer herefor or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this security.

         As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no
Holder of any Security of this series will have any right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless an
Event of Default with respect to this series shall have occurred and be
continuing and such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written
notice of such continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of this series shall have made written request, and



                                      A-8
<PAGE>

offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as
trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a direction
inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such
proceeding within 60 days after such notice, request and offer of indemnity;
provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by
the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of [(and
premium, if any)] or interest on this Security on or after the respective due
dates expressed herein.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of [(and premium, if any)]
and interest on this Security at the times, place[s] and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company in [any place where the principal of [(and
premium, if any)] and interest on this Security are payable] [the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, [Cincinnati, Ohio] or, subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto and to the right of the Company (limited as
provided in the Indenture) to rescind the designation of any such transfer
agent, at the [main] offices of in and in or at such other offices or agencies
as the Company may designate], duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form,
without coupons in denominations of [U.S.$][payment currency if not U.S.$] and
any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series
and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         [If applicable, insert--If this Security is a global Security (as
specified on the face hereof), this Security is exchangeable only if (x) the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for this global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to
be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Security
shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form provided that
the definitive Securities so issued in exchange for this permanent global
Security shall be in denominations of [U.S.$][payment currency if not U.S.$] and
any integral multiple of [$1,000] in excess thereof and be of like aggregate
principal amount and tenor as the portion of this permanent global Security to
be exchanged, and provided further that, unless the Company agrees otherwise,
Securities of this series in definitive registered form will be issued in
exchange for this permanent global Security, or any portion hereof, only if such
Securities in definitive registered form were requested by written notice to the
Trustee or the Security Registrar by or on behalf of a Person who is beneficial
owner of an interest hereof given through the Holder hereof. Except



                                      A-9
<PAGE>

as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this permanent global
Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in
definitive registered form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for
any purpose under the Indenture.]

         No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

financial practice) of less than %, per annum.]

         [If applicable, insert--The sinking fund for this series provides for

, of [not less than] [U.S.$] [payment currency if not U.S.$][("mandatory sinking

payments otherwise required to be made [in the inverse order in which they
become due.]]

         [If applicable, insert--The Securities of this series are not
redeemable prior to maturity.]

         Notice of redemption will be given by mail to Holders of Securities,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption,
all as provided in the Indenture.

         In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed
portion hereof, will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof.

         [If applicable, insert--The Indenture contains provisions for
defeasance of (a) the entire indebtedness of this Security and (b) certain
restrictive covenants upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set
forth therein.]

         [If applicable, insert--If so specified on the face hereof, the
interest rate on this Security may be reset by the Company on the date or dates
specified on the face hereof (each an "Optional Reset Date"). Not later than
days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee will mail to the Holder of
this Security a notice (the "Reset Notice") first-class postage prepaid
indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate, and if so
(a) such new



                                      B-6
<PAGE>

interest rate and (b) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the period
from such Optional Reset Date to the Optional Reset Date or if there is no such
Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of this Security (each such
period a "Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date or dates on which or
the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such
redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than days prior to the
Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate
provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the
Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to mail notice of such higher
interest rate to the Holder of this Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All registered Securities with respect to which the interest rate is reset on an
Optional Reset Date will bear such higher interest rate.

         The Holder of this Security will have the option to elect repayment by
the Company on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount
hereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain
repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set
forth below for optional repayment except that the period for delivery or
notification to the Trustee shall be at least but not more than days prior to
such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered this
Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written
notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of
business on the day before such Optional Reset Date.]

         [If applicable, insert--If so specified on the face hereof, the
Maturity of this Security may be extended at the option of the Company for the
period or period of whole years specified on the face hereof (each an "Extension
Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the
face hereof. If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee will mail to the
Holder of this Security not later than days prior to the old Stated Maturity
Date a notice (the "Extension Notice") first-class postage prepaid indicating
(a) the election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (b) the new Stated
Maturity Date, (c) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and (d)
the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the
Trustee's mailing of the Extension Notice, the Maturity of this Security shall
be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as
described in the next paragraph, this Security will have the same terms as prior
to the mailing of such Notice.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than days before the old
Stated Maturity Date of this Security the Company may, at its option, revoke the
interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher
interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to mail notice of
such higher interest rate first-class postage prepaid to the Holder of this
Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Registered Securities with
respect to which the Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate.

         If the Company extends the Maturity of this Security, the Holder will
have the option to elect repayment of this Security by the Company on the old
Stated Maturity Date at a price equal to the principal amount hereof, plus
interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the old Stated
Maturity Date once the Company has extended the Maturity hereof, the Holder must
follow the procedures set forth below for optional repayment except that the
period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least but not
more than days prior to the old



                                      B-7
<PAGE>

Stated Maturity Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered this Note for
repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to
the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the
day before the old Stated Maturity Date.]

         [If applicable, insert--If so specified on the face hereof, this
Security will be repayable prior to Maturity at the option of the Holder on the
Optional Repayment Dates shown on the face hereof at the Optional Repayment
Prices shown on the face hereof together with accrued interest to the date of
repayment. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Trustee must receive at
least but not more than days prior to an Optional Payment Date (a) this Security
with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed or (b) a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national
securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States of America setting forth
the name of the Holder of this Security, the principal amount of the Security to
be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of
this Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised
thereby and a guarantee that this Security with the form entitled "Option to
Elect Repayment" duly completed will be received by the Trustee not later than
Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
letter. If the procedure described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence is
followed, this Security with such form duly completed must be received by the
Trustee by such Business Day. Any tender of this Security for repayment [(except
pursuant to a Reset Notice or an Extension Notice)] shall be irrevocable. The
repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security for less than
the entire principal amount of the Security provided that the principal amount
of the Security remaining Outstanding after repayment is an authorized
denomination. Upon such partial repayment this Security shall be canceled and a
new Security or Securities for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be
issued in the name of the Holder of this Security.]

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in
the Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to [ insert formula for determining
the amount.] Upon payment (a) of the amount of principal so declared due and
payable and (b) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in
each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable), all of the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall
terminate. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of each series to be affected.

         The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange here for
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

         As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no
Holder of any Security of this series will have any right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless an

continuing and such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written
notice of such continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of this series shall have made written request, and offered reasonable
indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the
Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a direction inconsistent
with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60
days after such notice, request and offer of indemnity; provided, however, that
such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the
enforcement of payment of the principal of [(and premium, if any)] or [any]
interest on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security

coin or currency, herein described.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein

as the Company may designate], duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and

authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series
and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, with duly executed Guarantees endorsed thereon, will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

         The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form,
without coupons, in denominations of [U.S.$] [payment currency if not U.S.$]and
any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series
and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         [Insert, if applicable--If this Security is a global Security (as
specified on the face hereof), this Security is exchangeable only if (x) the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for this global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to
be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended or, (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Security
shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form, provided
that the definitive Securities so issued in exchange for this permanent global

and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of this
permanent global Security to be exchanged, and provided further that, unless the
Company agrees otherwise, Securities of this series in definitive registered
form will be issued in exchange for this permanent global Security, or any
portion hereof, only if such Securities in definitive registered form were
requested by written notice to the Trustee or the Security Registrar by or on
behalf of a Person who is beneficial owner of an interest hereof given through
the Holder hereof. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in
this permanent global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery
of Securities in definitive registered form and will not be considered the
Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture.]

         No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

         This Security shall be governed by the internal laws (as opposed to
conflicts of laws provisions) of the State of Ohio.

         All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The E.W. Scripps Company
312 Walnut Street, Suite 2800
Cincinnati, Ohio  45202

Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-3 with respect to $500,000,000
         aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of The E.W. Scripps
         Company

Dear Sirs:

         We have acted as counsel to The E.W. Scripps Company, an Ohio
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), filed under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act"), relating to the proposed public offering of up to $500,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company's Debt Securities (the "Debt
Securities") to be issued from time to time under an Indenture between the
Company and the Trustee named on the Form T-1 included as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement (the "Indenture").

         We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction, of such documents as we have deemed necessary for the
purposes of this opinion including, without limitation, the Articles of
Incorporation and Code of Regulations of the Company and the forms of Debt
Securities and Indenture filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         When (a) the Indenture shall have been duly executed and delivered in
substantially the form filed with the Registration Statement, (b) the Debt
Securities shall have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, (c) the Registration Statement shall have become
effective under the Act, (d) the Indenture shall have been qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and (e) the Debt Securities shall have been issued
and sold as described in the Registration Statement and in a related prospectus
supplement, the Debt Securities will be duly authorized and valid and binding
obligations of the Company, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally or by general principles of equity.

         We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under "Legal Matters" in
the prospectus comprising a part of the Registration Statement.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                  364-DAY COMPETITIVE ADVANCE AND REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
AGREEMENT dated as of August 8, 2002, among THE E.W. SCRIPPS COMPANY, an Ohio
corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks listed in Schedule 2.01 (the "Banks"),
JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation, as agent for the Banks (in
such capacity, the "Agent").

                  The Borrower has requested the Banks to extend credit to the
Borrower in order to enable it to borrow on a standby revolving credit basis on
and after the date hereof and at any time and from time to time prior to the
Availability Termination Date (as herein defined) a principal amount not in
excess of $400,000,000 at any time outstanding. The Borrower has also requested
the Banks to provide a procedure pursuant to which the Borrower may invite the
Banks to bid on an uncommitted basis on short-term borrowings by the Borrower.
The proceeds of such borrowings are to be used for general corporate purposes.
The Banks are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower on the terms and
subject to the conditions herein set forth.

                  Accordingly, the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent agree as
follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

                  SECTION 1.01. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement, the
following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

                  "ABR Borrowing" shall mean a Borrowing comprised of ABR Loans.

                  "ABR Loan" shall mean any Standby Loan bearing interest at a
rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the
provisions of Article II.

                  "Administrative Fees" shall have the meaning assigned to such
term in Section 2.06(b).

                  "Administrative Questionnaire" shall mean an Administrative
Questionnaire in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

                  "Affiliate" shall mean, when used with respect to a specified
person, another person that directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the
person specified.

                  "Aggregate Commitments": at any time, the sum of the aggregate
amount of the Commitments then in effect and the aggregate amount of the
Commitments (as defined in the Other Agreement) then in effect.

                  "Alternate Base Rate" shall mean, for any day, a rate per
annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the
greatest of (a)the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Base CD Rate in
effect on such day plus 1% and (c)the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on
such day plus 1/2 of 1%. For purposes hereof, "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate
of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Agent as its



<PAGE>

prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City; each change in
the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change is publicly announced
as effective. "Base CD Rate" shall mean the sum of (a)the product of (i)the
Three-Month Secondary CD Rate and (ii)Statutory Reserves and (b)the Assessment
Rate. "Three-Month Secondary CD Rate" shall mean, for any day, the secondary
market rate for three-month certificates of deposit reported as being in effect
on such day (or, if such day shall not be a Business Day, the next preceding
Business Day) by the Board through the public information telephone line of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York (which rate will, under the current practices
of the Board, be published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519)
during the week following such day), or, if such rate shall not be so reported
on such day or such next preceding Business Day, the average of the secondary
market quotations for three-month certificates of deposit of major money center
banks in New York City received at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
on such day (or, if such day shall not be a Business Day, on the next preceding
Business Day) by the Agent from three New York City negotiable certificate of
deposit dealers of recognized standing selected by it. "Federal Funds Effective
Rate" shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight
Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged
by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by
the Federal Reserve Bank of new York, or, if such rate is not so published for
any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of
such transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds brokers of
recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
it is unable to ascertain the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate
or both for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Agent to
obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate
Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause(b) or (c), or both, of
the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances
giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base
Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the
Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such
change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, respectively.

                  "Applicable Percentage" shall mean on any date, with respect
to the Facility Fee or the Loans comprising any Eurodollar Standby Borrowing,
the applicable percentage set forth below based upon the ratings applicable on
such date to the Borrower's implied or actual senior, unsecured,
non-credit-enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money (the "Index
Debt"):

                       Ratings                Facility A       Facility A LIBOR
                    (S&P/Moody's)            Facility Fee           Spread
                  -----------------          ------------      -----------------

Category 1        A+/A1 or higher               0.0600%             0.1650%
Category 2        A/A2                          0.0600%             0.1900%
Category 3        A-/A3                         0.0600%             0.2400%
Category 4        BBB+/Baa1                     0.0600%             0.4400%

<PAGE>

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that after the Availability Termination Date the LIBOR Spread
shall be increased by 0.15 of 1% (15 basis points).

                  For purposes of the foregoing, (a)if no rating for the Index
Debt shall be available from either Moody's or S&P (other than by reason of the
circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), each such
rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 4; (b)if
only one of Moody's and S&P shall have in effect a rating for the Index Debt,
the Applicable Percentage shall be determined by reference to the available
rating; (c)if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by
Moody's and S&P shall fall within different categories, the Applicable
Percentage shall be based upon the superior (or numerically lower) category
unless the ratings differ by more than one category, in which case the governing
rating shall be the rating next below the higher of the two; and (d)if any
rating established or deemed to have been established by Moody's or S&P shall be
changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of either
Moody's or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which such
change is first announced publicly by the rating agency making such change. Any
change in the LIBOR spread due to a change in the applicable category shall be
effective on the effective date of such change in the applicable category and
shall apply to all Eurodollar Standby Loans that are outstanding at any time
during the period commencing on the effective date of such change in the
applicable category and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective
date of the next such change in the applicable category. If the rating system of
either Moody's or S&P shall change, the Borrower and the Banks shall negotiate
in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to
reflect such changed rating system. If either Moody's or S&P shall cease to be
in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Banks
shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency and to
amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect the
ratings used by such substitute rating agency and, pending such agreement, the
Applicable Percentage shall be determined on the basis of the ratings provided
by the other rating agency.

                  "Assessment Rate" shall mean for any date the annual rate
(rounded upwards if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) most recently estimated
by the Agent as the then current net annual assessment rate that will be
employed in determining amounts payable by the Agent to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (or such successor) of time deposits made in dollars at
the Agent's domestic offices.

                  "Assignment and Acceptance" shall mean an assignment and
acceptance entered into by a Bank and an assignee, and accepted by the Agent, in
the form of Exhibit C.

                  "Availability Termination Date" shall mean August 7, 2003.

                  "Board" shall mean the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System of the United States.

by the Banks (or, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing, by the Bank or Banks
whose Competitive Bids have been accepted pursuant to Section 2.03) on a single
date and as to which a single Interest Period is in effect.

this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall
be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant set
forth in Article VI, such terms shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in
effect on the date of this Agreement applied on a basis consistent with the
application used in preparing the Borrower's audited financial statements
referred to in Section 3.05.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                   THE CREDITS

                  SECTION 2.01. COMMITMENTS. Subject to the terms and conditions
and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Bank
agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Standby Loans to the Borrower, at any
time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and until the earlier of
the Availability Termination Date and the termination of the Commitment of such
Bank as provided in this Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed such Bank's Commitment minus the amount by which the
Competitive Loans outstanding at such time shall be deemed to have used such
Commitment pursuant to Section 2.16, subject, however, to the conditions that
(a)at no time shall (i)the sum of (x)the outstanding aggregate principal amount
of all Standby Loans made by all Banks plus (y)the outstanding aggregate
principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Banks exceed (ii)the Total
Commitment and (b)at all times the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all
Standby Loans made by each Bank shall equal the product of (i)the percentage
which its Commitment represents of the Total Commitment times (ii)the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Standby Loans made pursuant to
Section 2.04. Each Bank's Commitment is set



                                       11
<PAGE>

forth opposite its respective name in Schedule 2.01. Such Commitments may be
terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.11.

                  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or
repay and reborrow hereunder, on and after the Closing Date and prior to the
Availability Termination Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
set forth herein.

                  SECTION 2.02. LOANS. (a) Each Standby Loan shall be made as
part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Banks ratably in accordance
with their Commitments; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Bank to make
any Standby Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Bank of its obligation to
lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Bank shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Bank to make any Loan required to be made by such
other Bank). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The Standby Loans or Competitive Loans
comprising any Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of Competitive Loans, in an
aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $5,000,000 and (ii)in the case of Standby Loans, in an aggregate
principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$10,000,000 in the case of Eurodollar Standby Loans and $5,000,000 in the case
of ABR Loans (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of
the available Commitments).

                  (b) Each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of
Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and each Standby Borrowing
shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Standby Loans or ABR Loans, as the
Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable. Each Bank
may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; PROVIDED that any exercise
of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one
Type may be outstanding at the same time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower
shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in
an aggregate of more than five separate Standby Loans of any Bank being
outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans
having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the
same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

                  (c) Subject to Section 2.05, each Bank shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Agent in New York, New York, not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, and the Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, wire transfer the amounts so received to the general deposit account of
the Borrower at Mellon Bank (or other general deposit account designated by the
Borrower in writing) or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any
condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts
so received to the respective Banks. Competitive Loans shall be made by the Bank
or Banks whose Competitive Bids therefor are accepted pursuant to Section 2.03
in the amounts so accepted and Standby Loans shall be made by the Banks pro rata
in accordance with Section 2.16. Unless the Agent shall have received notice
from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make
available to the Agent such Bank's portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may
assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Agent on the date
of such Borrowing in


                                       12
<PAGE>

accordance with this paragraph(c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have made such portion available
to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree (without duplication)
to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i)in the
case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
comprising such Borrowing and (ii)in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds
Effective Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount,
such amount shall constitute such Bank's Loan as part of such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement.

                  (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested with respect thereto would end after the Availability Termination
Date.

                  SECTION 2.03. COMPETITIVE BID PROCEDURE. (a) In order to
request Competitive Bids, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the
Agent a duly completed Competitive Bid Request in the form of Exhibit A-1

Agent's sole discretion, and the Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower of such rejection by telecopier. Such request shall in each case refer
to this Agreement and specify (x) whether the Borrowing then being requested is
to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing, (y)the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate principal amount
thereof which shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in an
integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (z)the Interest Period with respect thereto
(which may not end after the Availability Termination Date). As soon as
practicable after its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request that is not rejected
as aforesaid, the Agent shall invite by telecopier (in the form set forth in
Exhibit A-2 hereto) the Banks to bid, on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request.

                  (b) Each Bank may, in its sole discretion, make one or more
Competitive Bids to the Borrower responsive to a Competitive Bid Request. Each
Competitive Bid by a Bank must be received by the Agent via telecopier, in the
form of Exhibit A-3 hereto, (i)in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive
Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before a proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii)in the case of a Fixed Rate
Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a
proposed Competitive Borrowing. Multiple bids will be accepted by the Agent.
Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A-3
may be rejected by the Agent after conferring with, and upon the instruction of,
the Borrower, such conference between the Agent and the Borrower to occur as
soon as practicable following the receipt by the Agent of such Competitive Bid,
and the Agent shall notify the Bank making such nonconforming bid of such
rejection as soon as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall refer to this
Agreement and specify (x) the principal amount (which



                                       13
<PAGE>

shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive
Borrowing requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the
Bank is willing to make to the Borrower, (y)the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at
which the Bank is prepared to make the Competitive Loan or Loans and (z)the
Interest Period and the last day thereof. If any Bank shall elect not to make a
Competitive Bid, such Bank shall so notify the Agent via telecopier (I)in the
case of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (II)in
the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on
the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure by
any Bank to give such notice shall not cause such Bank to be obligated to make
any Competitive Loan as part of such Competitive Borrowing. A Competitive Bid
submitted by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be irrevocable.

                  (c) The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower
by telecopier (i) in the case of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed
Competitive Borrowing, and (ii)in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing,

amount of each Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid was made
and the identity of the Bank that made each bid. The Agent shall send a copy of
all Competitive Bids to the Borrower for its records as soon as practicable
after completion of the bidding process set forth in this Section 2.03.

                  (d) The Borrower may in its sole and absolute discretion,
subject only to the provisions of this paragraph (d), accept or reject any
Competitive Bid referred to in paragraph(c) above. The Borrower shall notify the
Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopier in the form of a Competitive Bid
Accept/Reject Letter in the form of Exhibit A-4, whether and to what extent it
has decided to accept or reject any of or all the bids referred to in
paragraph(c) above, (x)in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed
Competitive Borrowing, and (y)in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Competitive
Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i)the failure by the Borrower to give such
notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of all the bids referred to in
paragraph(c) above, (ii)the Borrower shall not accept a bid made at a particular
Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower has decided to reject an unrestricted bid
made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii)the aggregate amount of the
Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the principal amount
specified in the Competitive Bid Request, (iv)if the Borrower shall accept a bid
or bids made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate but the amount of such bid or
bids shall cause the total amount of bids to be accepted by the Borrower to
exceed the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, then the Borrower
shall accept a portion of such bid or bids in an amount equal to the amount
specified in the Competitive Bid Request less the amount of all other
Competitive Bids accepted with respect to such Competitive Bid Request, which
acceptance, in the case of multiple bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be
made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such bid at such Competitive
Bid Rate, and (v)except pursuant to clause(iv) above, no bid shall be accepted
for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal
amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; PROVIDED, FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000
because



                                       14
<PAGE>

of the provisions of clause(iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a
minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the
pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple bids at a particular
Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause(iv) the amounts shall be rounded to
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner which shall be in the discretion of
the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d)
shall be irrevocable.

                  (e) The Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Bank (i) in
the case of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (ii)
in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing, whether or not its Competitive
Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid
Rate) by telecopy sent by the Agent, and each successful bidder will thereupon
become bound, subject to the other applicable conditions hereof, to make the
Competitive Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted.

                  (f) A Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five
Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request.

                  (g) If the Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in
its capacity as a Bank, it shall submit such bid directly to the Borrower one
quarter of an hour earlier than the latest time at which the other Banks are
required to submit their bids to the Agent pursuant to paragraph(b) above.

                  (h) All Notices required by this Section 2.03 shall be given
in accordance with Section 9.01.

                  SECTION 2.04. STANDBY BORROWING PROCEDURE. In order to request
a Standby Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Agent in
the form of Exhibit A-5 (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Standby Borrowing, not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed
borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the day of a proposed borrowing. No Fixed Rate Loan shall
be requested or made pursuant to a Standby Borrowing Request. Such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then
being requested is to be a Eurodollar Standby Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Standby Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the
amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Standby
Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the
Type of Standby Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested
Standby Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect
to any Eurodollar Standby Borrowing is specified in such notice, then the
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's
duration. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this
Section 2.04 of its election to refinance a Standby Borrowing prior to the end
of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the Borrower shall
(unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest Period) be deemed
to have given notice of an election to refinance such Borrowing with an ABR
Borrowing. The Agent shall promptly advise the Banks of any notice given
pursuant to this Section 2.04 and of each Bank's portion of the requested
Borrowing.



                                       15
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 2.05. REFINANCINGS. The Borrower may refinance all or
any part of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Type made
pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement, including
refinancings of Competitive Borrowings with Standby Borrowings and Standby
Borrowings with Competitive Borrowings. Any Borrowing or part thereof so
refinanced shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 with the proceeds of
a new Borrowing hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing shall be paid by
the Banks to the Agent or by the Agent to the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.02(c); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) if the principal amount extended by a Bank
in a refinancing is greater than the principal amount extended by such Bank in
the Borrowing being refinanced, then such Bank shall pay such difference to the
Agent for distribution to the Banks described in (ii) below, (ii)if the
principal amount extended by a Bank in the Borrowing being refinanced is greater
than the principal amount being extended by such Bank in the refinancing, the
Agent shall return the difference to such Bank out of amounts received pursuant
to (i) above, and (iii)to the extent any Bank fails to pay the Agent amounts due
from it pursuant to (i) above, any Loan or portion thereof being refinanced with
such amounts shall not be deemed repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 and
shall be payable by the Borrower.

                  SECTION 2.06. FEES. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each
Bank, through the Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31
and on the date on which the Commitment of such Bank shall be terminated as
provided herein, a facility fee (a "Facility Fee") at a rate per annum equal to
the Applicable Percentage from time to time in effect, on the amount of the
Commitment of such Bank, whether used or unused, during the preceding quarter
(or shorter period commencing with the date hereof) (or, if such Commitment has
been terminated, the Standby Loans of such Bank). All Facility Fees shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360
days. The Facility Fee due to each Bank shall commence to accrue on the date
hereof and shall cease to accrue on the termination of the Commitment of such
Bank as provided herein and the payment in full of all Standby Loans.

                  (b) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, for its own account,
the fees (the "Administrative Fees") at the times and in the amounts agreed upon
in the Fee Letter.

                  (c) The Borrower agrees to pay, in immediately available
funds, to the Agent for the account of each Bank a fee (the "UTILIZATION FEE")
based upon the average daily amount of the outstanding Loans of such Bank at a
rate per annum equal to 0.10%, when and for as long as the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the sum of (a) the Standby Loans hereunder plus (b) the
aggregate principal amount of the Standby Loans (as defined therein) under the
Other Agreement exceeds 25% of (i) until the Availability Termination Date, the
Aggregate Commitments and (ii) from the Availability Termination Date through
the Maturity Date and the payment in full of all Standby Loans, the aggregate
amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Availability
Termination Date plus the aggregate amount of the Commitments (as defined
therein) of the Other Agreement. The Utilization Fee shall be payable quarterly
in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof, and on the
Maturity Date (or such later date of payment in full of all Standby Loans).



                                       16
<PAGE>

                  (d) All Fees shall be paid on the date due, in immediately
available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the
Banks.

                  SECTION 2.07. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Agent for the account
of each Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Standby Loan on the
Maturity Date and (ii) to the Agent for the account of each applicable Bank the
then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

                  (b) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to
such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time
hereunder.

                  (c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is a Standby Loan
or a Competitive Loan, and the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks
and each Bank's share thereof.

                  (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraphs (b) and(c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Bank or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (e) Any Bank may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by
a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and
deliver to such Bank a promissory note payable to the order of such Bank (or, if
requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns) and in a usual
and customary form for such Type approved by the Agent in its reasonable
discretion.

                  (f) The Borrower may elect to extend the Maturity Date to the
first anniversary of the Availability Termination Date by giving notice thereof
to the Agent by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days prior to the
Availability Termination Date. The Agent shall promptly give notice to the Banks
of any such extension.

                  SECTION 2.08. INTEREST ON LOANS. (a) Subject to the provisions
of Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year
of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to (i)in the case of each Eurodollar
Standby Loan, the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Percentage, and (ii)in the case of each Eurodollar
Competitive Loan, the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Margin offered by the Bank making such Loan and accepted by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.



                                       17
<PAGE>

                  (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days
at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

                  (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, each Fixed Rate
Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the fixed rate
of interest offered by the Bank making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.03.

                  (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest
Payment Date applicable to such Loan. The LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate
for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period shall be determined by
the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 2.09. DEFAULT INTEREST. If the Borrower shall default
in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount
becoming due hereunder, whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment,
acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from
the Agent pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount
up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before
judgment) at a rate per annum (computed as provided in Section 2.08(b)) equal to
the Alternate Base Rate plus 1%.

                  SECTION 2.10. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. In the event, and on
each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Agent shall have determined
that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising
such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or
that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Bank of making or maintaining its
Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the
Borrower and the Banks. In the event of any such determination, until the Agent
shall have advised the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice no longer exist, (i)any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar
Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be of no force and effect
and shall be denied by the Agent and (ii)any request by the Borrower for a
Eurodollar Standby Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a
request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 2.11. TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. (a)
The Commitments shall be automatically terminated on the Availability
Termination Date.

                  (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable
written or telecopy notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole
permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the
Total Commitment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i)each partial reduction of the Total
Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum
principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii)no such termination or reduction shall be
made



                                       18
<PAGE>

which would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

                  (c) Each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be
made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments.
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks, on the date of
each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of the
Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or
reduction.

                  SECTION 2.12. PREPAYMENT. (a) The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Standby Borrowing, in
whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Agent: (i) before 10:00
a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case
of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business
Day prior to prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each
partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. The Borrower shall not have the right
to prepay any Competitive Borrowing.

                  (b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the
Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much
of the Standby Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate
principal amount of the Competitive Loans and Standby Loans outstanding will not
exceed the Total Commitment after giving effect to such termination or
reduction.

                  (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment
date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be
prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such
Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated
therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section
2.15 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this
Section 2.12 shall be accomplished by accrued interest on the principal amount
being prepaid to the date of payment.

                  SECTION 2.13. RESERVE REQUIREMENTS; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this
Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of
law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal
of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Bank or
any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of
taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank by the jurisdiction in
which such Bank has its principal office or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of or credit extended by such Bank, or shall impose on such
Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement
or any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Bank, and the result of
any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest



                                       19
<PAGE>

or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then the Borrower
will pay to such Bank within 30 days of demand such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank shall be entitled to
request compensation under this paragraph with respect to any Competitive Loan
if it shall have been aware of the change giving rise to such request at the
time of submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Competitive
Loan shall have been made.

                  (b) If any Bank shall have determined that the applicability
of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of
the July1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and
Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement
and Capital Standards", or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any
of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the
foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Bank (or any lending office of such Bank) or any Bank's holding company with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the focus
of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank's capital or on the
capital of such Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans made by such Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that
which such Bank or such Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such
applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Bank's policies and the policies of such Bank's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from
time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Bank's holding company for any such
reduction suffered. It is acknowledged that the Facility Fee provided for in
this Agreement has been determined on the understanding that the Banks will not
be required to maintain capital against their Commitments under currently
applicable law, rules, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the
Banks shall be advised by bank regulatory authorities responsible for
interpreting or administering such applicable laws, rules, regulations and
guidelines or shall otherwise determine, on the basis of applicable laws, rules,
regulations, guidelines or other requests or statements (whether or not having
the force of law) of such bank regulatory authorities, that such understanding
is incorrect, it is agreed that the Banks will be entitled to make claims under
this paragraph based upon prevailing market requirements for commitments under
comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.13,
no Bank shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred
to in paragraph (a) or (b) above if it shall not at the time be the general
policy or practice of such Bank to demand such compensation in similar
circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

                  (d) A certificate of a Bank setting forth such amount or
amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Bank as specified in paragraph
(a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Bank the
amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it



                                       20
<PAGE>

within 30 days after the receipt of the same. If any Bank subsequently receives
a refund of any such amount paid by the Borrower it shall remit such refund to
the Borrower.

                  (e) Failure on the part of any Bank to demand compensation for
any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction
in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of
such Bank's right to demand compensation with respect to any other period;
PROVIDED that if any Bank fails to make such demand within 90 days after it
obtains knowledge of the event giving rise to the demand such Bank shall, with
respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 resulting from such
event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.13 for such costs
incurred or reduction in amounts or return on capital from and after the date 90
days prior to the date that such Bank does make such demand. The protection of
this Section shall be available to each Bank regardless of any possible
contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation,
guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been
imposed.

                  SECTION 2.14. CHANGE IN LEGALITY. (a) Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to
make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written or
telecopy notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Bank may:

                           (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter
                  be made by such Bank hereunder, whereupon such Bank shall not
                  submit a Competitive Bid in response to a request for
                  Eurodollar Competitive Loans and any request by the Borrower
                  for a Eurodollar Standby Borrowing shall, as to such Bank
                  only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such
                  declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

                           (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans
                  made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such
                  Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans
                  as of the effective date of such notice as provided in
                  paragraph(b) below.

In the event any Bank shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii)above, all
payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to
repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Bank or the
converted Eurodollar Loans of such Bank shall instead be applied to repay the
ABR Loans made by such Bank in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of,
such Eurodollar Loans.

                  (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the
Borrower by any Bank shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful,
on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar
Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt
by the Borrower.

                  (c) Each Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.14 with respect
to such Bank, it shall have a duty to



                                       21
<PAGE>

endeavor in good faith to mitigate the adverse effects that may arise as a
consequence of such event to the extent that such mitigation will not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Bank, entail any cost or disadvantage to such Bank
that such Bank is not reimbursed or compensated for by the Borrower.

                  SECTION 2.15. INDEMNITY. The Borrower shall indemnify each
Bank against any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a
consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any
borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any
failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance or continue any Loan hereunder
after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, refinancing or continuation has been
given pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, (c) any payment, prepayment or
conversion of a Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan required by any other
provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other
than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) any default in
payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or
interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof,
whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or
otherwise) or (e)the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such
case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or
incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to
effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan or Fixed
Rate Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the
excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Bank, of (i) its cost of
obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed
(assumed to be the LIBO Rate or, in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, the fixed
rate of interest applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such
payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for
such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii)the
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) that would be
realized by such Bank in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed
for the remainder of such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A
certificate of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts which such Bank is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  Each Bank shall have a duty to mitigate the damages to such
Bank that may arise as a consequence of clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above
to the extent that such mitigation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Bank, entail any cost or disadvantage to such Bank that such Bank is not
reimbursed or compensated for by the Borrower.

                  SECTION 2.16. PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except as required under
Section 2.14, each Standby Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of
any Standby Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Standby Loans, each
payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each
refinancing of any Borrowing with a Standby Borrowing of any Type, shall be
allocated pro rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective
Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Standby
Loans). Each payment of principal of any Competitive borrowing shall be
allocated pro rata among the Banks participating in such Borrowing in accordance
with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive Loans
comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any



                                       22
<PAGE>

Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks participating
in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and
unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such
Borrowing. For purposes of determining the available Commitments of the Banks at
any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have
utilized the Commitments of the Banks (including those Banks which shall not
have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance
with such respective Commitments. Each Bank agrees that in computing such Bank's
portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion,
round each Bank's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole
dollar amount.

                  SECTION 2.17. SHARING OF SETOFFS. Each Bank agrees that if it
shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim
against the Borrower, or pursuant to, a secured claim under Section 506 of title
11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in
lieu of, such secured claim received by such Bank under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means,
obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Standby Loan or
Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Standby Loans
shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Standby
Loans of any other Bank, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased
from such other Bank at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Bank
the purchase price for, a participation in the Standby Loans of such other Bank,
so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Standby Loans and
participations in the Standby Loans held by each Bank shall be in the same
proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Standby Loans then
outstanding as the principal amount of its Standby Loans prior to such exercise
of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal
amount of all Standby Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien,
setoff or counterclaim or other event; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if any such
purchase or purchases or adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17
and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase
or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery
and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. The
Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any
Bank holding a participation in a Standby Loan deemed to have been so purchased
may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with
respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Bank by reason
thereof as fully as if such Bank had made a Standby Loan directly to the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

                  SECTION 2.18. PAYMENTS. (a) The Borrower shall initiate each
payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or
other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00
(noon), New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Agent at its
offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, in immediately available funds.

                  SECTION 2.19. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.18, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the Agent or any Bank
(or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any
such entity a "Transferee")) and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income
of the Agent or



                                       23
<PAGE>

any Bank (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of
which the Agent or such Bank (or Transferee) is organized or has its principal
place of business or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities,
collectively or individually, "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank (or
any Transferee) or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the
amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.19) such Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent (as the case may be)
shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deduction been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees 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 that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document ("Other Taxes").

                  (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Bank (or Transferee) and
the Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Bank (or
Transferee) or the Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared
by a Bank, or the Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made
within 30 days after the date the Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent, as the case
may be, makes written demand therefor.

                  (d) If a Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent shall become aware
that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect
of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or
with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts, pursuant to this
Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the borrower of the availability of such
refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the
Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the
Borrower's expense. If a Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent receives a refund
(including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding
sentence) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall within 30 days from
the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower
under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Bank (or Transferee) or
the Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the
Borrower, upon the request of such Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other
charges) to such Bank (or Transferee) or the



                                       24
<PAGE>

Agent in the event such Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority.

                  (e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the
Borrower will deliver to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing payment thereof.

                  (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.19
shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans
made hereunder.

                  (g) Each Bank (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Bank") shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent two copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S.
Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect
to payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions
thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Bank delivers a Form
W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Bank is not a bank for
purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within
the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a
controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal
withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before
the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee
that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder
becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S.
Bank changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending
office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver
such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.19(g), a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form
pursuant to this Section 2.19(g) that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to
deliver.

                  (h) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any
Non-U.S. Bank, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Bank, in respect
of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above
to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United
States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Bank became a
party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation
holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or,
with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Bank
designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that this clause (i) of this subsection 2.19(h) shall not apply to any
Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office
as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the
request of the Borrower; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that this clause (i) of
this subsection 2.19(h) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or
additional



                                       25
<PAGE>

amounts any Transferee, or Bank (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office,
would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i) of this
subsection 2.19(h)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts
that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such
Transferee, or Bank (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending
Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment,
participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such
additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Bank
to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g) above.

                  (i) Any Bank (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts
payable under this Section 2.19 shall (A) to the extent legally able to do so,
upon written request from the Borrower, file any certificate or document if such
filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional
amounts which may thereafter accrue, and the Borrower shall not be obligated to
pay such additional amounts if, after the Borrower's request, any Bank (or
Transferee) could have filed such certificate or document and failed to do so;
or (B) consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts
to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of
such change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any additional
amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of
such Bank (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank (or
Transferee).

                  (j) Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any
Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or
any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

                  SECTION 2.20. MANDATORY ASSIGNMENT; COMMITMENT TERMINATION. In
the event any Bank delivers to the Agent or the Borrower, as appropriate, a
certificate in accordance with Section 2.13(c) or a notice in accordance with
Section 2.10 or 2.14, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts
or other payments in accordance with Section 2.19, the Borrower may, at its own
expense, and in its sole discretion (a) require such Bank to transfer and assign
in whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance with Section 9.04), all or
part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than
outstanding Competitive Loans) to an assignee which shall assume such assigned
obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such
assignment); PROVIDED that (i)such assignment shall not conflict with any law,
rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority and
(ii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the assigning Bank in
immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of
such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts owed to it
hereunder or (b) terminate the Commitment of such Bank and prepay all
outstanding Loans (other than Competitive Loans) of such Bank; PROVIDED that (x)
such termination of the Commitment of such Bank and prepayment of Loans does not
conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or Governmental
Authority and (y) the Borrower shall have paid to such Bank in immediately
available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such
payment on the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) made by it hereunder and all
other amounts owed to it hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  The Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Banks
that:

                  SECTION 3.01. ORGANIZATION; POWERS. The Borrower and each
Subsidiary of the Borrower (a)is a corporation or other entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has all requisite corporate or other entity power and
authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now
conducted, (c) is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) in the case of the
Borrower, has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and each
other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby to which it is or will be a
party and to borrow hereunder.

                  SECTION 3.02. AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the execution, delivery and
performance of each of the other Loan Documents and the borrowings hereunder
(collectively, the "Transactions") (a) have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action and (b) will not (i)
violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or
by-laws (or code of regulations) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (B) any
order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party
or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound, (ii) be in
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other
instrument and (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or
with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, except for any such violation, conflict, creation or
imposition which does not impair the Borrower's ability to enter into and
perform the Transactions or would not be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect or materially impair the position of the Banks with respect to
any other creditors of the Borrower.

                  SECTION 3.03. ENFORCEABILITY. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan
document when executed and delivered by the Borrower will constitute, a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower
in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general principles of equity.

                  SECTION 3.04. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. No action, consent or
approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental
Authority is or will be required by the Borrower in connection with the
Transactions, except such as have been made or obtained and are in full force
and effect.



                                       27
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 3.05. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower has
heretofore furnished to the Banks the consolidated balance sheet and
consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries (a) as of and for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte &
Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (b) as of and for the fiscal
quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, certified by
the chief financial officer of the Borrower. Such financial statements (subject,
in the case of such interim statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments)
present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of
operations of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates
and for such periods. Such balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose, in
accordance with GAAP, all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. Such
financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis, except that such interim financial statements do not contain
footnotes.

                  SECTION 3.06. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. There has been no
change in the business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise,
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries since December 31, 2001 that would
constitute a Material Adverse Effect which is not reflected in the financial
statements referred to in Section 3.05(b).

                  SECTION 3.07. TITLE TO PROPERTIES; POSSESSION UNDER LEASES.
(a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to,
or valid leasehold interests in, all its properties and assets, except for
defects in title that would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect. All material properties and assets are free and clear
of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

                  (b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied
with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party, all such leases
are in full force and effect and each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, except for any
noncompliance, ineffectiveness or other conditions that would not, in the
aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.08. STOCK OF BORROWER. More than 51% of the
outstanding Common Voting Shares, par value $.01, of the Borrower are owned
legally, beneficially and of record by the Trust or the beneficiaries thereof.

                  SECTION 3.09. LITIGATION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (a) Except as
set forth in Schedule 3.09 or otherwise disclosed to the Banks in writing, there
are not any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before
any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any business,
property or rights of any such person (i) which involve any Loan Document or the
Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination and which, if adversely determined, would, individually or in the
aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b) None of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any



                                       28
<PAGE>

Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.10. AGREEMENTS. (a) None of the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any
corporate restriction that has resulted or would be reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b) None of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
default in any manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or
assets are or may be bound, where such default would be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.11. FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS. (a) None of the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

                  (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether
directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately,
(i)to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness
originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii)for any purpose which entails a
violation of, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations
of the Board, including Regulation U or X.

                  SECTION 3.12. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT; PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING
COMPANY ACT. None of the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is (a)an "investment
company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940 or (b)a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

                  SECTION 3.13. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower will use the
proceeds of the Loans only for the purposes specified in the preamble to this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.14. TAX RETURNS. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and local tax
returns required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all
taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received
by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Borrower shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves.

                  SECTION 3.15. NO MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS. No material
information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by the
Borrower in writing to the Agent or any Bank in connection with the negotiation
of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto
contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or
omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are
or will be made, not misleading.

                  SECTION 3.16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The Borrower and each of
its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA
and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder,
except for violations which, in the



                                       29
<PAGE>

aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Reportable Event has occurred in respect of any plan of the Borrower or any
ERISA Affiliate that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on
those assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of the last annual
valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the value of
the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all
underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) did
not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed
$40,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any
Withdrawal Liability that materially adversely affects the financial condition
of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole. Neither the Borrower
nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any Multiemployer
Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated, within the meaning of Title IV
of ERISA, and no Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in
reorganization or to be terminated, where such reorganization or termination has
resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in the contributions required
to be made to such Plan that would materially and adversely affect the financial
condition of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole.

                  SECTION 3.17. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MATTERS. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously disclosed to the Banks in
writing, each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has complied with all
Federal, state, local and other statutes, ordinances, orders, judgments, rulings
and regulations relating to environmental pollution or to environmental
regulation or control or to employee health or safety, except for violations
which, in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously
disclosed to the Banks in writing, none of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries has received notice of any failure so to comply. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously disclosed to the Banks in
writing, the Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' plants do not manage any hazardous
wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances, toxic
pollutants, or substances similarly denominated, as those terms or similar terms
are used in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the
Clean Water Act or any other applicable law relating to environmental pollution
or employee health and safety, in violation in any material respect of any law
or any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, except for violations which, in
the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously disclosed to the
Banks in writing, none of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of
any events, conditions or circumstances involving environmental pollution or
contamination or employee health or safety that is reasonably expected to result
in liability which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              CONDITIONS OF LENDING

                  The obligations of the Banks to make Loans hereunder are
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:



                                       30
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 4.01. ALL BORROWINGS. On the date of each Borrowing,
including each Borrowing in which Loans are refinanced with new Loans as
contemplated by Section 2.05, and on the date of the election of the term out

together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Banks, without hereby limiting any

principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Banks
hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Bank its proper share of each
payment so received; (b)to give notice on behalf of each of the Banks to the
Borrower of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Agent

                  Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or
be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the
Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in
any Loan Document. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for the due
execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. The
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from
acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Banks
and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any
action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Banks. The Agent
shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any
instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any
responsibility to the Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in
performance or breach by any Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any
Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other
Bank or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. The Agent may
execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall
be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect
to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

                  The Banks hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no
duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do
so by the Required Banks.

                  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent
as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Banks and
the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right
to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
Agent.

                  With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Agent in
its individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers
as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent.

whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its
capacity as the Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it
or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent
the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that no Bank

reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank 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

document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and
the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

                  (iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans
owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
"REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower,
the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignee's
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a
Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)
of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and
record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.

                  (c) (i) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower or
the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
"PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of such Bank's rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing
to it); PROVIDED that (A) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation
shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; PROVIDED that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver



                                       46

described in the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 to
the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it
were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as
though it were a Bank.

                  (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.19 than the applicable Bank 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 Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
Non-U.S. Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.19 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to
comply with Section 2.19(g) as though it were a Bank.

                  (d) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; PROVIDED that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank
as a party hereto.

                  SECTION 9.05. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY. (a) The Borrower agrees to
pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or
incurred by the Agent or any Bank in connection with the enforcement or
protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett,
counsel for the Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or
protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel
for the Agent or any Bank. The Borrower further agrees that it shall indemnify
the Banks from and hold them harmless against any documentary taxes, assessments
or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

                  (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Bank and
each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each such
person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with,
or as a result of (i)the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii)the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii)any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be



                                       47
<PAGE>

available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) in the case of the Agent or
any Bank, any unexcused breach by the Agent or such Bank of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or (b) the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.

                  (c) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Agent or any Bank. All amounts due under this
Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

                  (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such
assignment shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.

                  SECTION 9.06. RIGHTS OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations
of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan
Documents held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Bank under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of Setoff)
which such Bank may have.

                  SECTION 9.07. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  SECTION 9.08. WAIVERS; AMENDMENT. (a) No failure or delay of
the Agent or any Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right
or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

                  (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower,



                                       48
<PAGE>

and the Required Banks; PROVIDED, however, that no such agreement shall (i)
decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled
principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or
waive or excuse any such payment of or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of
interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Bank affected
thereby, (ii)change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Facility Fees of
any Bank without the prior written consent of such Bank, or (iii)amend or modify
the provisions of Section 2.16, the provisions of this Section, or the
definition of "Required Banks", without the prior written consent of each Bank;
PROVIDED FURTHER that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Agent.

                  SECTION 9.09. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate,
together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under
applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any
other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for,
charged, received, taken or reserved by any Bank, shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by such Bank in accordance with applicable law, the rate of
interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Bank,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

                  SECTION 9.10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to
the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

                  SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereto hereby
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have
to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising
out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such
other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing
waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been
induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in
this Section 9.11.

                  SECTION 9.12. SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of
the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should
be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor
in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible so that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.




                                       49
<PAGE>
                  SECTION 9.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.03.

                  SECTION 9.14. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings and the
Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not
part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken
into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

                  SECTION 9.15. JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a)
The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Bank
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction.

                  (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.

                  (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

                  SECTION 9.16. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Bank agrees to keep
confidential (and to cause its respective officers, directors, employees, agents
and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below),
except that any Bank shall be permitted to disclose Information (i)to such of
its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including
outside counsel) as need to know such Information; (ii)to the extent required by
applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or
requested by any bank regulatory authority (provided that such Bank shall,
except (A) as prohibited by law and (B) for Information requested by any such
bank regulatory authority, promptly notify Borrower of the circumstances and
content of each such disclosure and shall request confidential treatment of any
information so disclosed); (iii)to the extent such Information (A) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement,
(B)becomes available to such Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower or its Affiliates or (C)was available to such Bank on a
non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Bank by the



                                       50
<PAGE>
Borrower or its Affiliates; or (iv)to the extent the Borrower shall have
consented to such disclosure in writing. As used in this Section 9.16, as to any
Bank, "Information" shall mean any financial statements, materials, documents
and other information that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may have
furnished or made available or may hereafter furnish or make available to the
Agent or any Bank in connection with this Agreement or any other materials
prepared by any such person from any of the foregoing.

          5-YEAR COMPETITIVE ADVANCE AND REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
dated as of August 8, 2002, among THE E.W. SCRIPPS COMPANY, an Ohio corporation
(the "Borrower"), the banks listed in Schedule 2.01 (the "Banks"), JPMORGAN
CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation, as agent for the Banks (in such
capacity, the "Agent").

          The Borrower has requested the Banks to extend credit to the Borrower
in order to enable it to borrow on a standby revolving credit basis on and after
the date hereof and at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date
(as herein defined) a principal amount not in excess of $200,000,000 at any time
outstanding. The Borrower has also requested the Banks to provide a procedure
pursuant to which the Borrower may invite the Banks to bid on an uncommitted
basis on short-term borrowings by the Borrower. The proceeds of such borrowings
are to be used for general corporate purposes. The Banks are willing to extend
such credit to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions herein
set forth.

          Accordingly, the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

          Section 1.01. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement, the following
terms shall have the meanings specified below:

          "ABR Borrowing" shall mean a Borrowing comprised of ABR Loans.

          "ABR Loan" shall mean any Standby Loan bearing interest at a rate
determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the
provisions of Article II.

          "Administrative Fees" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in
Section 2.06(b).

          "Administrative Questionnaire" shall mean an Administrative
Questionnaire in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

          "Affiliate" shall mean, when used with respect to a specified person,
another person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the person
specified.

          "Aggregate Commitments": at any time, the sum of the aggregate amount
of the Commitments then in effect and the aggregate amount of the Commitments
(as defined in the Other Agreement) then in effect.

          "Alternate Base Rate" shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of
(a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Base CD Rate in effect on such
day plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus
1/2 of 1%. For purposes hereof, "Prime Rate" shall




<PAGE>

mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the
Agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City; each
change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change is publicly
announced as effective. "Base CD Rate" shall mean the sum of (a) the product of
(i) the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate and (ii) Statutory Reserves and (b) the
Assessment Rate. "Three-Month Secondary CD Rate" shall mean, for any day, the
secondary market rate for three-month certificates of deposit reported as being
in effect on such day (or, if such day shall not be a Business Day, the next
preceding Business Day) by the Board through the public information telephone
line of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (which rate will, under the current
practices of the Board, be published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15(519) during the week following such day), or, if such rate shall not be so
reported on such day or such next preceding Business Day, the average of the
secondary market quotations for three-month certificates of deposit of major
money center banks in New York City received at approximately 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on such day (or, if such day shall not be a Business Day, on the
next preceding Business Day) by the Agent from three New York City negotiable
certificate of deposit dealers of recognized standing selected by it. "Federal
Funds Effective Rate" shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates
on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve
System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding
Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of new York, or, if such rate is not so
published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for
the day of such transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds
brokers of recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Agent shall
have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that it is unable to ascertain the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective
Rate or both for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Agent to
obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate
Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), or both, of
the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances
giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base
Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the
Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such
change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, respectively.

          "Applicable Percentage" shall mean on any date, with respect to the
Facility Fee or the Loans comprising any Eurodollar Standby Borrowing, the
applicable percentage set forth below based upon the ratings applicable on such
date to the Borrower's implied or actual senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced
long-term indebtedness for borrowed money (the "Index Debt"):

          For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if no rating for the Index Debt
shall be available from either Moody's or S&P (other than by reason of the
circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), each such
rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 4; (b) if
only one of Moody's and S&P shall have in effect a rating for the Index Debt,
the Applicable Percentage shall be determined by reference to the available
rating; (c) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by
Moody's and S&P shall fall within different categories, the Applicable
Percentage shall be based upon the superior (or numerically lower) category
unless the ratings differ by more than one category, in which case the governing
rating shall be the rating next below the higher of the two; and (d) if any
rating established or deemed to have been established by Moody's or S&P shall be
changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of either
Moody's or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which such
change is first announced publicly by the rating agency making such change. Any
change in the LIBOR spread due to a change in the applicable category shall be
effective on the effective date of such change in the applicable category and
shall apply to all Eurodollar Standby Loans that are outstanding at any time
during the period commencing on the effective date of such change in the
applicable category and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective
date of the next such change in the applicable category. If the rating system of
either Moody's or S&P shall change, the Borrower and the Banks shall negotiate
in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to
reflect such changed rating system. If either Moody's or S&P shall cease to be
in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Banks
shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency and to
amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect the
ratings used by such substitute rating agency and, pending such agreement, the
Applicable Percentage shall be determined on the basis of the ratings provided
by the other rating agency.

          "Assessment Rate" shall mean for any date the annual rate (rounded
upwards if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) most recently estimated by the
Agent as the then current net annual assessment rate that will be employed in
determining amounts payable by the Agent to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (or such successor) of time deposits made in dollars at the Agent's
domestic offices.

          "Assignment and Acceptance" shall mean an assignment and acceptance
entered into by a Bank and an assignee, and accepted by the Agent, in the form
of Exhibit C.

          "Board" shall mean the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System of the United States.

          "Borrowing" shall mean a group of Loans of a single Type made by the
Banks (or, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing, by the Bank or Banks whose
Competitive Bids have been accepted pursuant to Section 2.03) on a single date
and as to which a single Interest Period is in effect.

          "Business Day" shall mean any day (other than a day which is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of New York) on which banks are
open for business in New York City; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, when used in
connection with a Eurodollar Loan, the




                                       3
<PAGE>

term "Business Day" shall also exclude any day on which banks are not open for
dealings in dollar deposits in the London interbank market.

          "Capital Lease Obligations" of any person shall mean the obligations
of such person to pay rent or other amounts under any lease of (or other
arrangement conveying the right to use) real or personal property, or a
combination thereof, which obligations are required to be classified and
accounted for as capital leases on a balance sheet of such person under GAAP
and, for the purposes of this Agreement, the amount of such obligations at any
time shall be the capitalized amount thereof at such time determined in
accordance with GAAP.

          A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if the Trust or
the beneficiaries thereof shall not be the direct or indirect owner,
beneficially and of record, of at least 51% of the issued and outstanding Common
Voting Shares, $.01 par value per share, of the Borrower and any other common
stock at any time issued by the Borrower, other than the Borrower's Class A
Common Shares, $.01 per share.

          "Closing Date" shall mean August 8, 2002.

          "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as the same may
be amended from time to time.

          "Commitment" shall mean, with respect to each Bank, the commitment of
such Bank hereunder as set forth in Schedule 2.01 hereto, as such Bank's
Commitment may be permanently terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant
to Section 2.11. The Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate
on the Maturity Date.

          "Competitive Bid" shall mean an offer by a Bank to make a Competitive
Loan pursuant to Section 2.03.

          "Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter" shall mean a notification made
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03(d) in the form of Exhibit A-4.

the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Bank as provided
in this Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not

          Section 2.02. LOANS. (a) Each Standby Loan shall be made as part of a
Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Banks ratably in accordance with their
Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make any Standby
Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Bank of its obligation to lend
hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Bank shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Bank to make any Loan required to be made by such other
Bank). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.03. The Standby Loans or Competitive Loans comprising any
Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of Competitive Loans, in an aggregate
principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000 and (ii) in the case of Standby Loans, in an aggregate principal
amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000
in the case of Eurodollar Standby Loans and $5,000,000 in the case of ABR Loans
(or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the

          (b) Each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of
Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and each Standby Borrowing
shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Standby Loans or ABR Loans, as the
Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable. Each Bank
may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; PROVIDED that any exercise
of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one
Type may be outstanding at the same time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower
shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in
an aggregate of more than five separate Standby Loans of any Bank being
outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans
having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the
same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

          (c) Subject to Section 2.05, each Bank shall make each Loan to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Agent in New York, New York, not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, and the Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, wire
transfer the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower
at Mellon Bank (or other general deposit account designated by the Borrower in
writing) or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition
precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so
received to the respective Banks. Competitive Loans shall be made by the Bank or
Banks whose Competitive Bids therefor are accepted pursuant to Section 2.03 in
the amounts so accepted and Standby Loans shall be made by the Banks pro rata in
accordance with Section 2.16. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available
to the Agent such Bank's portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that
such Bank has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have made
such portion available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree
(without duplication) to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing




                                       12
<PAGE>



and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such
Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall
constitute such Bank's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

          Section 2.03. COMPETITIVE BID PROCEDURE. (a) In order to request

Agreement and specify (x) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a

Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A-3
may be rejected by the Agent after conferring with, and upon the instruction of,
the Borrower, such conference between the Agent and the Borrower to occur as
soon as practicable following the receipt by the Agent of such Competitive Bid,
and the Agent shall notify the Bank making such nonconforming bid of such
rejection as soon as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall refer to this
Agreement and specify (x) the principal amount (which shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing
requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Bank is
willing to make to the Borrower, (y) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which
the Bank is prepared to make the Competitive Loan or Loans and (z) the Interest
Period and the last day thereof. If any Bank shall elect not to make a
Competitive Bid, such Bank shall so notify the Agent via telecopier (I) in the
case of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City
time, three Business




                                       13

Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (II) in the case of Fixed Rate
Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed
Competitive Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure by any Bank to give such
notice shall not cause such Bank to be obligated to make any Competitive Loan as
part of such Competitive Borrowing. A Competitive Bid submitted by a Bank
pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be irrevocable.

          (c) The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower by
telecopier (i) in the case of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than 10:00
a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive
Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 10:00 a.m.,

of the Bank that made each bid. The Agent shall send a copy of all Competitive
Bids to the Borrower for its records as soon as practicable after completion of
the bidding process set forth in this Section 2.03.

          (d) The Borrower may in its sole and absolute discretion, subject only
to the provisions of this paragraph (d), accept or reject any Competitive Bid
referred to in paragraph (c) above. The Borrower shall notify the Agent by
telephone, confirmed by telecopier in the form of a Competitive Bid
Accept/Reject Letter in the form of Exhibit A-4, whether and to what extent it
has decided to accept or reject any of or all the bids referred to in paragraph
(c) above, (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed
Competitive Borrowing, and (y) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Competitive
Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the failure by the Borrower to give such
notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of all the bids referred to in
paragraph (c) above, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a bid made at a
particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower has decided to reject an
unrestricted bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate
amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the
principal amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, (iv) if the Borrower
shall accept a bid or bids made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate but the
amount of such bid or bids shall cause the total amount of bids to be accepted
by the Borrower to exceed the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request,
then the Borrower shall accept a portion of such bid or bids in an amount equal
to the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request less the amount of all
other Competitive Bids accepted with respect to such Competitive Bid Request,
which acceptance, in the case of multiple bids at such Competitive Bid Rate,
shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such bid at such
Competitive Bid Rate, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no bid shall
be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum
principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, HOWEVER, that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than
$5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan
may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in
calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple bids
at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall
be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner which shall be in the
discretion of the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.




                                       14

          (e) The Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Bank (i) in the case
of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (ii) in the
case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing, whether or not its Competitive Bid has
been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate) by
telecopy sent by the Agent, and each successful bidder will thereupon become
bound, subject to the other applicable conditions hereof, to make the
Competitive Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted.

          (f) A Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five Business
Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request.

          (g) If the Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its
capacity as a Bank, it shall submit such bid directly to the Borrower one
quarter of an hour earlier than the latest time at which the other Banks are
required to submit their bids to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

          (h) All Notices required by this Section 2.03 shall be given in
accordance with Section 9.01.

          Section 2.04. STANDBY BORROWING PROCEDURE. In order to request a
Standby Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Agent in
the form of Exhibit A-5 (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Standby Borrowing, not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed
borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the day of a proposed borrowing. No Fixed Rate Loan shall
be requested or made pursuant to a Standby Borrowing Request. Such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then
being requested is to be a Eurodollar Standby Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Standby Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the
amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Standby
Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the
Type of Standby Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested
Standby Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect
to any Eurodollar Standby Borrowing is specified in such notice, then the
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's
duration. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this
Section 2.04 of its election to refinance a Standby Borrowing prior to the end
of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the Borrower shall
(unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest Period) be deemed
to have given notice of an election to refinance such Borrowing with an ABR
Borrowing. The Agent shall promptly advise the Banks of any notice given
pursuant to this Section 2.04 and of each Bank's portion of the requested
Borrowing.

          Section 2.05. REFINANCINGS. The Borrower may refinance all or any part
of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Type made pursuant
to Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, subject to the conditions and limitations set
forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement, including refinancings of
Competitive Borrowings with Standby Borrowings and Standby Borrowings with
Competitive Borrowings. Any Borrowing or part thereof so refinanced shall be
repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 with the proceeds of a new Borrowing



                                       15
<PAGE>


hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing shall be paid by the Banks to
the Agent or by the Agent to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(c); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that (i) if the principal amount extended by a Bank in a refinancing is
greater than the principal amount extended by such Bank in the Borrowing being
refinanced, then such Bank shall pay such difference to the Agent for
distribution to the Banks described in (ii) below, (ii) if the principal amount
extended by a Bank in the Borrowing being refinanced is greater than the
principal amount being extended by such Bank in the refinancing, the Agent shall
return the difference to such Bank out of amounts received pursuant to (i)
above, and (iii) to the extent any Bank fails to pay the Agent amounts due from
it pursuant to (i) above, any Loan or portion thereof being refinanced with such
amounts shall not be deemed repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 and shall be
payable by the Borrower.

          Section 2.06. FEES. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Bank,
through the Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and
on the date on which the Commitment of such Bank shall be terminated as provided
herein, a facility fee (a "Facility Fee") at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Percentage from time to time in effect, on the amount of the
Commitment of such Bank, whether used or unused, during the preceding quarter
(or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Maturity
Date or any date on which the Commitment of such Bank shall be terminated as
provided in this Agreement). All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Facility Fee due to
each Bank shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall cease to accrue
on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of
such Bank as provided herein.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, for its own account, the
fees (the "Administrative Fees") at the times and in the amounts agreed upon in
the Fee Letter.

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay, in immediately available funds, to the
Agent for the account of each Bank a fee (the "UTILIZATION FEE") based upon the
average daily amount of the outstanding Standby Loans of such Bank at a rate per
annum equal to 0.10%, when and for as long as the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the sum of (a) the Standby Loans hereunder plus (b) the
aggregate principal amount of the Standby Loans (as defined therein) under the
Other Agreement exceeds 25% of (i) until the Availability Termination Date (as
defined therein) of the Other Agreement, the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) from
the Availability Termination Date (as defined therein) of the Other Agreement
through the Maturity Date (as defined therein) of the Other Agreement and the
payment in full of all Standby Loans (as defined therein), the aggregate amount
of the Commitments hereunder plus the aggregate amount of the Commitments (as
defined therein) under the Other Agreement in effect immediately prior to the
Availability Termination Date (as defined therein) of the Other Agreement and
(iii) after the Maturity Date (as defined therein) of the Other Agreement and
the payment in full of all Standby Loans (as defined therein), the aggregate
amount of the Commitments hereunder. The Utilization Fee shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof,
and on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall
terminate and the Loans and all interest, fees and other amounts in respect
thereof shall have been paid in full).



                                       16
<PAGE>

          (d) All Fees shall be paid on the date due, in immediately available
funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Banks.

          Section 2.07. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each
Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Standby Loan on the Maturity Date
and (ii) to the Agent for the account of each applicable Bank the then unpaid
principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Loan.

          (b) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank
resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

          (c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is a Standby Loan or a
Competitive Loan, and the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks
and each Bank's share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
(b) and (c) of this Section shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; PROVIDED that the failure of any
Bank or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Bank may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver
to such Bank a promissory note payable to the order of such Bank (or, if
requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns) and in a usual
and customary form for such Type approved by the Agent in its reasonable
discretion.

          Section 2.08. INTEREST ON LOANS. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of each Eurodollar Standby
Loan, the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Percentage, and (ii) in the case of each Eurodollar Competitive
Loan, the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Margin offered by the Bank making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.03.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Loans comprising
each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when
determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all
other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, each Fixed Rate Loan
shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a



                                       17
<PAGE>



year of 360 days) equal to the fixed rate of interest offered by the Bank making
such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

          (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment
Date applicable to such Loan. The LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate for each
Interest Period or day within an Interest Period shall be determined by the
Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          Section 2.09. DEFAULT INTEREST. If the Borrower shall default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming
due hereunder, whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration
or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Agent pay
interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but
not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at
a rate per annum (computed as provided in Section 2.08(b)) equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus 1%.

          Section 2.10. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. In the event, and on each
occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Agent shall have determined that
dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising such
Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that
the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to any Bank of making or maintaining its Eurodollar
Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,
give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the
Banks. In the event of any such determination, until the Agent shall have
advised the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer exist, (i) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar
Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be of no force and effect
and shall be denied by the Agent and (ii) any request by the Borrower for a
Eurodollar Standby Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a
request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

          Section 2.11. TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. (a) The
Commitments shall be automatically terminated on the Maturity Date.

          (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or
telecopy notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently
terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total
Commitment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) each partial reduction of the Total
Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum
principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall
be made which would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

          (c) Each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made
ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments. The
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks, on the date of
each termination or reduction, the Facility



                                       18
<PAGE>


Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the
date of such termination or reduction.

          Section 2.12. PREPAYMENT. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to prepay any Standby Borrowing, in whole or in part,
upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed
by written or telecopy notice) to the Agent: (i) before 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar
Loans and (ii) before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to
prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each partial
prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
not less than $10,000,000. The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any
Competitive Borrowing.

          (b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.11, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the
Standby Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal
amount of the Competitive Loans and Standby Loans outstanding will not exceed
the Total Commitment after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

          (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and
the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall
be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or
portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All
prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.15 but
otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12
shall be accomplished by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid
to the date of payment.

          Section 2.13. RESERVE REQUIREMENTS; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement
any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of
law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal
of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Bank or
any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of
taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank by the jurisdiction in
which such Bank has its principal office or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of or credit extended by such Bank, or shall impose on such
Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement
or any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Bank, and the result of
any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then the
Borrower will pay to such Bank within 30 days of demand such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank shall be
entitled to request compensation under this paragraph with respect to any
Competitive Loan if it shall have been aware of the change giving rise to such
request at the time of submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such
Competitive Loan shall have been made.



                                       19
<PAGE>
          (b) If any Bank shall have determined that the applicability of any
law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the
July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital
Standards", or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule,
regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the
foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any
lending office of such Bank) or any Bank's holding company with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the focus of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank's capital or on the capital
of such Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such
Bank or such Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such
applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Bank's policies and the policies of such Bank's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from
time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Bank's holding company for any such
reduction suffered. It is acknowledged that the Facility Fee provided for in
this Agreement has been determined on the understanding that the Banks will not
be required to maintain capital against their Commitments under currently
applicable law, rules, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the
Banks shall be advised by bank regulatory authorities responsible for
interpreting or administering such applicable laws, rules, regulations and
guidelines or shall otherwise determine, on the basis of applicable laws, rules,
regulations, guidelines or other requests or statements (whether or not having
the force of law) of such bank regulatory authorities, that such understanding
is incorrect, it is agreed that the Banks will be entitled to make claims under
this paragraph based upon prevailing market requirements for commitments under
comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.13, no Bank
shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to in
paragraph (a) or (b) above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or
practice of such Bank to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under
comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

          (d) A certificate of a Bank setting forth such amount or amounts as
shall be necessary to compensate such Bank as specified in paragraph (a) or (b)
above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Bank the amount
shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after the
receipt of the same. If any Bank subsequently receives a refund of any such
amount paid by the Borrower it shall remit such refund to the Borrower.

          (e) Failure on the part of any Bank to demand compensation for any
increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in
return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of
such Bank's right to demand compensation with respect to any other period;
PROVIDED that if any Bank fails to make such demand within 90 days after it
obtains knowledge of the event giving rise to the demand such Bank shall, with
respect to




                                       20
<PAGE>


amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 resulting from such event, only be
entitled to payment under this Section 2.13 for such costs incurred or reduction
in amounts or return on capital from and after the date 90 days prior to the
date that such Bank does make such demand. The protection of this Section shall
be available to each Bank regardless of any possible contention of the
invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other
change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

          Section 2.14. CHANGE IN LEGALITY. (a) Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to
make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written or
telecopy notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Bank may:

          (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such
     Bank hereunder, whereupon such Bank shall not submit a Competitive Bid in
     response to a request for Eurodollar Competitive Loans and any request by
     the Borrower for a Eurodollar Standby Borrowing shall, as to such Bank
     only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be
     subsequently withdrawn; and

          (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be
     converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be
     automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such
     notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Bank shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all
payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to
repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Bank or the
converted Eurodollar Loans of such Bank shall instead be applied to repay the
ABR Loans made by such Bank in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of,
such Eurodollar Loans.

          (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower by any
Bank shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day
of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all
other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the
Borrower.

          (c) Each Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.14 with respect to such
Bank, it shall have a duty to endeavor in good faith to mitigate the adverse
effects that may arise as a consequence of such event to the extent that such
mitigation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, entail any cost or
disadvantage to such Bank that such Bank is not reimbursed or compensated for by
the Borrower.

          Section 2.15. INDEMNITY. The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank
against any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a
consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any
borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any
failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance or continue any Loan hereunder
after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, refinancing or continuation has been
given




                                       21
<PAGE>


pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a
Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan required by any other provision of this
Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) any default in payment or prepayment
of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued
thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by
scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise)
or (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any
loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred
in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or
maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan.
Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if
any, as reasonably determined by such Bank, of (i) its cost of obtaining the
funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed (assumed to be
the LIBO Rate or, in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, the fixed rate of interest
applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or
failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would
have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Bank) that would be realized by such Bank in
reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed for the remainder of such
period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Bank setting
forth any amount or amounts which such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

          Each Bank shall have a duty to mitigate the damages to such Bank that
may arise as a consequence of clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above to the
extent that such mitigation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank,
entail any cost or disadvantage to such Bank that such Bank is not reimbursed or
compensated for by the Borrower.

          Section 2.16. PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except as required under Section
2.14, each Standby Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any
Standby Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Standby Loans, each payment
of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each refinancing of
any Borrowing with a Standby Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata
among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such
Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the
respective principal amounts of their outstanding Standby Loans). Each payment
of principal of any Competitive borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the
Banks participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective
principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such
Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Competitive Borrowing shall be
allocated pro rata among the Banks participating in such Borrowing in accordance
with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding
Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For purposes of determining the
available Commitments of the Banks at any time, each outstanding Competitive
Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Banks
(including those Banks which shall not have made Loans as part of such
Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments.
Each Bank agrees that in computing such Bank's portion of any Borrowing to be
made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Bank's percentage
of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.



                                       22

          Section 2.17. SHARING OF SETOFFS. Each Bank agrees that if it shall,
through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against
the Borrower, or pursuant to, a secured claim under Section 506 of title 11 of
the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu
of, such secured claim received by such Bank under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain
payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Standby Loan or Loans as a
result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Standby Loans shall be
proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Standby Loans of
any other Bank, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such
other Bank at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Bank the purchase
price for, a participation in the Standby Loans of such other Bank, so that the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Standby Loans and participations in the
Standby Loans held by each Bank shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Standby Loans then outstanding as the principal
amount of its Standby Loans prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or
counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Standby Loans
outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or
other event; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if any such purchase or purchases or
adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the payment giving
rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or
adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase
price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. The Borrower expressly
consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Bank holding a
participation in a Standby Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise
any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any
and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Bank by reason thereof as fully as
if such Bank had made a Standby Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

          Section 2.18 PAYMENTS. (a) The Borrower shall initiate each payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other
amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00
(noon), New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Agent at its
offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, in immediately available funds.

          Section 2.19. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.18, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
EXCLUDING (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the Agent or any Bank
(or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any
such entity a "Transferee")) and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income
of the Agent or any Bank (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which the Agent or such Bank (or Transferee) is organized or has its
principal place of business or any political subdivision thereof (all such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities, collectively or individually, "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be
required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to
any Bank (or any Transferee) or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased by the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.19) such Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent (as the
case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deduction been made, (ii)



                                       23
<PAGE>


the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees 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 that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document ("Other Taxes").

          (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Bank (or Transferee) and the
Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Bank (or
Transferee) or the Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared
by a Bank, or the Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made
within 30 days after the date the Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent, as the case
may be, makes written demand therefor.

          (d) If a Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent shall become aware that it
is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or with
respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts, pursuant to this
Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the borrower of the availability of such
refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the
Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the
Borrower's expense. If a Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent receives a refund
(including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding
sentence) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall within 30 days from
the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower
under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Bank (or Transferee) or
the Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Borrower, upon the request of such Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other
charges) to such Bank (or Transferee) or the Agent in the event such Bank (or
Transferee) or the Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority.

          (e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower
will deliver to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing payment thereof.

          (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained
herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.19 shall
survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made
hereunder.



                                       24
<PAGE>


          (g) Each Bank (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Bank") shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two
copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. Federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions
thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Bank delivers a Form
W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Bank is not a bank for
purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within
the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a
controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal
withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before
the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee
that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder
becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S.
Bank changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending
office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver
such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.19(g), a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form
pursuant to this Section 2.19(g) that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to
deliver.

          (h) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Bank,
or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Bank, in respect of United
States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the
extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States
Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Bank became a party to
this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder,
on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with
respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Bank
designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that this clause (i) of this subsection 2.19(h) shall not apply to any
Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office
as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the
request of the Borrower; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that this clause (i) of
this subsection 2.19(h) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or
additional amounts any Transferee, or Bank (or Transferee) through a New Lending
Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i) of this
subsection 2.19(h)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts
that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such
Transferee, or Bank (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending
Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment,
participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such
additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Bank
to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g) above.

          (i) Any Bank (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable
under this Section 2.19 shall (A) to the extent legally able to do so, upon
written request from the Borrower, file any certificate or document if such
filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of




                                       25
<PAGE>


any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue, and the Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay such additional amounts if, after the Borrower's
request, any Bank (or Transferee) could have filed such certificate or document
and failed to do so; or (B) consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions,
use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending
office if the making of such change would avoid the need for or reduce the
amount of any additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in
the sole determination of such Bank (or Transferee), be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Bank (or Transferee).

          (j) Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any Bank (or
Transferee) or the Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other
information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

          Section 2.20. MANDATORY ASSIGNMENT; COMMITMENT TERMINATION. In the
event any Bank delivers to the Agent or the Borrower, as appropriate, a
certificate in accordance with Section 2.13(c) or a notice in accordance with
Section 2.10 or 2.14, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts
or other payments in accordance with Section 2.19, the Borrower may, at its own
expense, and in its sole discretion (a) require such Bank to transfer and assign
in whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance with Section 9.04), all or
part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than
outstanding Competitive Loans) to an assignee which shall assume such assigned
obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such
assignment); PROVIDED that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law,
rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority and
(ii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the assigning Bank in
immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of
such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts owed to it
hereunder or (b) terminate the Commitment of such Bank and prepay all
outstanding Loans (other than Competitive Loans) of such Bank; PROVIDED that (x)
such termination of the Commitment of such Bank and prepayment of Loans does not
conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or Governmental
Authority and (y) the Borrower shall have paid to such Bank in immediately
available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such
payment on the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) made by it hereunder and all
other amounts owed to it hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          The Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Banks that:

          Section 3.01. ORGANIZATION; POWERS. The Borrower and each Subsidiary
of the Borrower (a) is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has all requisite corporate or other entity power and
authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now
conducted, (c) is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) in the case of the
Borrower, has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a




                                       26
<PAGE>


party and each other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby to which it is
or will be a party and to borrow hereunder.

          Section 3.02. AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Borrower of this Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance of
each of the other Loan Documents and the borrowings hereunder (collectively, the
"Transactions") (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and, if
required, stockholder action and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision of
law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of
incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws (or code of
regulations) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (B) any order of any
Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of
them or any of their property is or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with,
result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument and
(iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to
any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, except for any such violation, conflict, creation or imposition
which does not impair the Borrower's ability to enter into and perform the
Transactions or would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
or materially impair the position of the Banks with respect to any other
creditors of the Borrower.

          Section 3.03. ENFORCEABILITY. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan document when
executed and delivered by the Borrower will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general principles of equity.

          Section 3.04. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. No action, consent or approval
of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental
Authority is or will be required by the Borrower in connection with the
Transactions, except such as have been made or obtained and are in full force
and effect.

          Section 3.05. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower has heretofore
furnished to the Banks the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated
statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Borrower and its
consolidated subsidiaries (a) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP,
independent public accountants, and (b) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the
portion of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, certified by the chief
financial officer of the Borrower. Such financial statements (subject, in the
case of such interim statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments) present
fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of
operations of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates
and for such periods. Such balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose, in
accordance with GAAP, all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. Such
financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis, except that such interim financial statements do not contain
footnotes.

<PAGE>

          Section 3.06. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. There has been no change in
the business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries since December 31, 2001 that would constitute a
Material Adverse Effect which is not reflected in the financial statements
referred to in Section 3.05(b).

          Section 3.07. TITLE TO PROPERTIES; POSSESSION UNDER LEASES. (a) Each
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid
leasehold interests in , all its properties and assets, except for defects in
title that would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. All material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens,
other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

          (b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied with all
obligations under all leases to which it is a party, all such leases are in full
force and effect and each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful
and undisturbed possession under all such leases, except for any noncompliance,
ineffectiveness or other conditions that would not, in the aggregate, be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 3.08. STOCK OF BORROWER. More than 51% of the outstanding
Common Voting Shares, par value $.01, of the Borrower are owned legally,
beneficially and of record by the Trust or the beneficiaries thereof.

          Section 3.09. LITIGATION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (b) Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.09 or otherwise disclosed to the Banks in writing, there are
not any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any
Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any business,
property or rights of any such person (i) which involve any Loan Document or the
Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination and which, if adversely determined, would, individually or in the
aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) None of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation
of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment,
writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation
or default would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 3.10. AGREEMENTS. (a) None of the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any
corporate restriction that has resulted or would be reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) None of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in
any manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument
evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument to which
it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be
bound, where such default would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          Section 3.11. FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS. (a) None of the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying Margin Stock.





                                       28
<PAGE>


          (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly
or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to
purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally
incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose which entails a violation of,
or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board,
including Regulation U or X.

          Section 3.12. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT; PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY
ACT. None of the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is (a) an "investment company" as
defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940
or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

          Section 3.13. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower will use the proceeds of
the Loans only for the purposes specified in the preamble to this Agreement.

          Section 3.14. TAX RETURNS. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and local tax returns
required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes
shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by
it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Borrower shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves.

          Section 3.15. NO MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS. No material information,
report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by the Borrower in
writing to the Agent or any Bank in connection with the negotiation of any Loan
Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto contained, contains
or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not
misleading.

          Section 3.16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The Borrower and each of its
ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except
for violations which, in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred in respect of any plan
of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate that would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each
Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of the last
annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the
value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit
liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund
each such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable
thereto, exceed $40,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has
incurred any Withdrawal Liability that materially adversely affects the
financial condition of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole.
Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that
any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated, within the
meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected
to be in reorganization or to be terminated, where such reorganization or
termination has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in the
contributions required to be made to such Plan that would materially and
adversely affect the financial condition of the Borrower and its ERISA
Affiliates taken as a whole.

<PAGE>


          Section 3.17. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MATTERS. Except as set forth in
Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously disclosed to the Banks in writing, each of
the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has complied with all Federal, state,
local and other statutes, ordinances, orders, judgments, rulings and regulations
relating to environmental pollution or to environmental regulation or control or
to employee health or safety, except for violations which, in the aggregate,
would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously disclosed to the Banks in
writing, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of
any failure so to comply. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise
previously disclosed to the Banks in writing, the Borrower's and its
Subsidiaries' plants do not manage any hazardous wastes, hazardous substances,
hazardous materials, toxic substances, toxic pollutants, or substances similarly
denominated, as those terms or similar terms are used in the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the
Toxic Substance Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act or any other
applicable law relating to environmental pollution or employee health and
safety, in violation in any material respect of any law or any regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto, except for violations which, in the aggregate,
would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.17 or otherwise previously disclosed to the Banks in
writing, none of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any
events, conditions or circumstances involving environmental pollution or
contamination or employee health or safety that is reasonably expected to result
in liability which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              CONDITIONS OF LENDING

          The obligations of the Banks to make Loans hereunder are subject to
the satisfaction of the following conditions:

          Section 4.01. ALL BORROWINGS. On the date of each Borrowing, including
each Borrowing in which Loans are refinanced with new Loans as contemplated by
Section 2.05:

          (a) The Agent shall have received a notice of such Borrowing as
     required by Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, as applicable.

          (b) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof
     (except, subject to Section 4.02(e), the representations set forth in
     Section 3.06) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as
     of the date of such Borrowing with the same effect as though made on and as
     of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties
     expressly relate to an earlier date.

          (c) At the time of and immediately after such Borrowing no Event of
     Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing.



                                       30
<PAGE>

Each Borrowing shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by
the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as to the matters specified in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4.01.

          Section 4.02. FIRST BORROWING. On the Closing Date:

          (a) The Agent shall have received a favorable written opinion of Baker
     & Hostetler LLP, counsel for the Borrower, dated the Closing Date and
     addressed to the Banks, to the effect set forth in Exhibit D hereto, and
     the Borrower hereby instructs such counsel to deliver such opinion to the
     Agent.

          (b) All legal matters incident to this Agreement and the borrowings
     hereunder shall be satisfactory to the Banks and their counsel and to
     Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, counsel for the Agent.

with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document,
shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to the Borrower
described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued
interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the

automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                    THE AGENT

          In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
JPMorgan Chase Bank is hereby appointed to act as Agent on behalf of the Banks.
Each of the Banks, and each transferee of any Bank, hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Bank or transferee
and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the
terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent is hereby
expressly authorized by the Banks, without hereby limiting any implied
authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Banks all payments of principal of
and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Banks hereunder, and
promptly to distribute to each Bank its proper share of each payment so
received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Banks to the Borrower of
any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Agent has actual
knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to
distribute to each Bank copies of all notices, financial statements and other
materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by
the Agent.

          Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them
except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or be
responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents
of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or
to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower of
any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan
Document. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for the due execution,
genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance
with written instructions signed by the Required Banks and, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Banks. The Agent shall, in the
absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or
document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the




                                       41
<PAGE>



Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any
responsibility to the Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in
performance or breach by any Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any
Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other
Bank or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. The Agent may
execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall
be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect
to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

          The Banks hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to
take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by
the Required Banks.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Banks and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to
appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
Agent.

          With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Agent in its
individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as
any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent.

          Each Bank agrees (i) to reimburse the Agent, on demand, in the amount
of its pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder) of any expenses
incurred for the benefit of the Banks by the Agent, including counsel fees and
compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the
Banks, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower and (ii) to
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and
against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in
its capacity as the Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by
it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent
the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower; PROVIDED that no Bank
shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,




                                       42
<PAGE>


expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

          Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank 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
Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

<PAGE>


Banks or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as

Banks.

          Section 9.04. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i)
the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
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 paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)
below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

               (A) the Borrower, PROVIDED that no consent of the Borrower shall
     be required for an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank, an
     Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clause
     (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any
     other assignee; and

               (B) the Agent, PROVIDED that no consent of the Agent shall be
     required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Bank or an affiliate of
     a Bank immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
     conditions:

               (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate
     of a Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
     Bank's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Bank
     subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
     and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent)
     shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the




                                       44
<PAGE>


     Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, PROVIDED that no such consent of
     the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (b),
     (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing;

               (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under
     this Agreement, PROVIDED that this clause shall not apply to rights in
     respect of outstanding Competitive Loans;

               (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
     the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and
     recordation fee of $3,500;

               (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the
     Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

               (E) in the case of an assignment to a CLO (as defined below), the
     assigning Bank shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment,
     modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, PROVIDED that
     the Assignment and Acceptance between such Bank and such CLO may provide
     that such Bank will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any
     amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section
     9.08(b) that affects such CLO.

          For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms "Approved Fund"
and "CLO" have the following meanings:

          "APPROVED FUND" means (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Bank that
is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any
other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is
managed by the same investment advisor as such Bank or by an Affiliate of such
investment advisor.

          "CLO" means any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or
otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing
in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its
business and is administered or managed by a Bank or an Affiliate of such Bank.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and
the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.




                                       45
<PAGE>


          (iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to,
each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the
Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and
record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
"PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of such Bank's rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing
to it); PROVIDED that (A) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation
shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; PROVIDED that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section
9.08(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Bank
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Bank, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Bank.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.13 or 2.19 than the applicable Bank 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
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Bank if
it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless the
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.19(g) as though it were a Bank.



                                       46
<PAGE>

          (d) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment of a security
interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

          Section 9.05. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or
incurred by the Agent or any Bank in connection with the enforcement or
protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett,
counsel for the Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or
protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel
for the Agent or any Bank. The Borrower further agrees that it shall indemnify
the Banks from and hold them harmless against any documentary taxes, assessments
or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Bank and each of
their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each such person
being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as
a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by
the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; PROVIDED that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
(A) in the case of the Agent or any Bank, any unexcused breach by the Agent or
such Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

          (c) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in
full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Agent or any Bank. All amounts due under this
Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.





                                       47
<PAGE>


          (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank; PROVIDED that no such assignment
shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.

          Section 9.06. RIGHTS OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations
of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan
Documents held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Bank under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of Setoff)
which such Bank may have.

          SECTION 9.07. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Setion 9.08. WAIVERS; AMENDMENT. (a) No failure or delay of the Agent
or any Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower, and the Required Banks; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the
maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of
any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment of or any part
thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written
consent of each Bank affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or
decrease the Facility Fees of any Bank without the prior written consent of such
Bank, or (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.16, the provisions of
this Section, or the definition of "Required Banks", without the prior written
consent of each Bank; PROVIDED FURTHER that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Agent.

          Section 0.09. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together
with all fees and charges which are




                                       48
<PAGE>


treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), as
provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or
otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Bank,
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Bank in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all
Charges payable to such Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

          Section 9.10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the
subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

          Section 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereto hereby waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a
trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out
of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such
other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing
waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been
induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in
this Section 9.11.

          Section 9.12. SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor
in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible so that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          Section 9.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which
when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.03.

          Section 9.14. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          Section 9.15. JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (c) The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and



                                       49
<PAGE>


unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Bank
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction.

          (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.

          Section 9.16 CONFIDENTIALITY. (d) Each Bank agrees to keep
confidential (and to cause its respective officers, directors, employees, agents
and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below),
except that any Bank shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) to such of
its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including
outside counsel) as need to know such Information; (ii) to the extent required
by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
or requested by any bank regulatory authority (provided that such Bank shall,
except (A) as prohibited by law and (B) for Information requested by any such
bank regulatory authority, promptly notify Borrower of the circumstances and
content of each such disclosure and shall request confidential treatment of any
information so disclosed); (iii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (B)
becomes available to such Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Borrower or its Affiliates or (C) was available to such Bank on a
non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Bank by the Borrower or
its Affiliates; or (iv) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such
disclosure in writing. As used in this Section 9.16, as to any Bank,
"Information" shall mean any financial statements, materials, documents and
other information that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may have furnished
or made available or may hereafter furnish or make available to the Agent or any
Bank in connection with this Agreement or any other materials prepared by any
such person from any of the foregoing.

uses to which they are being put, and none of such buildings, plants,
structures, or equipment is in need of maintenance or repairs except for
ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs that are not material in nature or
cost. The building, plants, structures, and equipment constituting the Network
Assets are sufficient for the continued conduct of the Companies&#146; business
after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted by Seller prior
to the Closing and constitute all of the assets necessary to operate the
Network as previously operated by Seller.

accounts receivable of Seller that are reflected on the Network accounting
records of Seller as of the Closing Date (collectively, the &#147;Accounts
Receivable&#148;) represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales
actually made or services actually performed in the Ordinary Course of
Business. Unless paid prior to the Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are
or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible by the Companies, net
of the respective reserves shown on the accounting records of Seller. Subject
to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has been or will be
collected in full, without any set-off, within 90&nbsp;days after the day on which
it first becomes due and payable. There is no contest, claim, or right of
set-off, other than returns in the Ordinary Course of Business, under any
Contract with any obligor of an Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or
validity of such Accounts Receivable. Schedule&nbsp;3.8 contains a complete and
accurate list of all Accounts Receivable as of June&nbsp;30, 2002, which list sets
forth the aging of such Accounts Receivable. The reserves for returns shown on
the Network accounting records of Seller are adequate and calculated consistent
with past practice.

All inventory of Seller relating to the Network consists of a quality and
quantity usable and salable in the Ordinary Course of Business, except for
obsolete items and items of below-standard quality, all of which have been
written off or written down to net realizable value on the Network accounting
records of Seller as of June&nbsp;30, 2002. All inventories not written off have
been priced on an average cost basis. The quantities of each item of inventory
(whether raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods) are not excessive,
but are reasonable in the present circumstances of Seller.

Loans From Members. In the event that the Board of Governors determines in its
reasonable business judgment that it is in the best interest of the Company to
borrow funds from the Members for use in the operation of the business of the
Company, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to the
Members including a requested loan amount. The Members shall have a period of
twenty (20)&nbsp;days from the date of such notice in which to give the Company
written notice that they wish to loan funds to the Company in an amount equal
to the amount of the requested loan, multiplied by their respective Percentage
Interests. In that case, the Company shall execute a promissory note in form
and content reasonably acceptable to all Members making a loan and such Members
shall each loan their share of the requested funds in cash to the Company
within five (5)&nbsp;days after the Member&#146;s written election to participate in such
loan is delivered to the Company. If all Members do not elect to participate
in the making of any such loan within the aforementioned twenty (20)&nbsp;day
period, the Company may borrow the remaining amount from the Members who have
elected to participate in such loan request, in such manner as the Board of
Governors deems reasonably appropriate. All loans made pursuant to this
Section&nbsp;7.5 shall be payable upon demand or upon such other commercially
reasonable terms as the Board of Governors shall determine. Unless otherwise
agreed by the Board of Governors, interest shall accrue and may be payable
monthly on the unpaid principal balance of any such loan at a fluctuating
interest rate not to exceed two percentage points (2%) in excess of the
announced prime rate of The Fifth Third Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio or its
successors, and any change in the interest rate due to a change in such
announced prime rate shall be effective immediately upon and after each such
announced change in the prime rate. Any payments made by the Company on such
loans shall be made to the Members in proportion to the outstanding balance of
the loans owed to each of them. In making any such loan, Members shall be
treated as general creditors of the Company and not as Members.

intention to participate in such sale as soon as practicable but not later than

participate together with the Sale Notice, will be deemed to constitute a
valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the Disposition of all of

sell to the Purchaser all of the Membership Interests in the Company proposed
to be Disposed by them at not less than the price originally offered by the
Purchaser, and upon other terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable to
the Purchaser than those originally offered. Scripps Holding shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain the agreement of the Purchaser to the
participation of SATH and Sub in the contemplated Disposition, and shall not
Dispose of any Membership Interest to such Purchaser if such Disposition would
result in a Change of Control of the Company and such Purchaser declines to
purchase all of SATH&#146;s and Sub&#146;s Membership Interests pursuant to the terms of
this Section. If (a)&nbsp;SATH and Sub elect not to, or otherwise fail to notify
Scripps Holding of their decision to or not to, participate in the sale under

Change of Control of the Company, Scripps Holding will have the right, but not
the obligation, to require SATH and Sub to sell all of their Membership
Interests pursuant to the Sale Notice and the foregoing provisions of this

delivery of the Sale Notice to SATH and Sub. In the event of a sale of SATH&#146;s

Right must be exercised by SATH and Sub concurrently and neither may exercise

Affiliates at the Original Issue Price thereof, plus accrued and unpaid

representative, if applicable (the &#147;Offering Member&#148;), shall notify the Company
and all Members of the Event within five (5)&nbsp;days of its occurrence (the &#147;Event

owned or held beneficially by the Offering Member at the time of such Event at
the price equal to its Fair Market Value as of the date that is the calendar
month-end immediately preceding such Event and on and in accordance with the
Contract Terms (the &#147;Event Option&#148;). Within five (5)&nbsp;days after the
determination of the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section&nbsp;11.8, the
Company shall notify the Offering Member and the other Members of whether it
intends to exercise the Event Option and upon any such exercise, the closing

of it, by any other Member or Members (or their designees) other than the
Offering Member, in any case at the option of the Board of Governors in its
discretion without any approval by the Members. If any Members other
than the Offering Member are purchasers and such other Members are unable to
agree upon the amount of the Membership Interest to be acquired by each of
them, each purchasing Member shall be entitled to purchase a portion of such
Membership Interest in the same proportion that the Percentage Interest of such
Member bears to the total Percentage Interests of all such Members.

Determination of Fair Market Value. If the purchase price for any transaction
involving any Membership Interest purchased and sold on and in accordance with
the Contract Terms or otherwise is to be the Fair Market Value thereof, or if
Additional Capital Contributions are proposed to be made under Section&nbsp;7.2, the
determination of such Fair Market Value as at the applicable valuation date
shall be made as set forth in this Section&nbsp;11.8. Within ten (10)&nbsp;days after it
is determined that the Fair Market Value process must be initiated, each of
Scripps Holding and SATH will choose a nationally recognized reputable
investment bank (which investment bank must commit to deliver its determination
within 60&nbsp;days) to determine the Fair Market Value and the Fair Market Value
will be the average of the two determinations so made. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, however, if the two determinations
differ by more than ten percent (10%), then the aforesaid investment banks
shall select a third nationally recognized reputable investment bank (which
investment bank must commit to deliver its determination within 60&nbsp;days) to
determine the Fair Market Value; and upon receipt of the third determination,
the Fair Market Value will be the average of the two determinations closest in
amount to each other. Scripps Holding, on the one hand, and SATH and Sub, on
the other hand, will share equally in the cost of the investment banks. The
Board of Governors and the purchaser(s) and seller(s) in the transaction shall
cooperate with the investment banks and provide them (on a confidential basis)
with all information regarding the Company and their respective Membership
Interests (directly or indirectly owned) as reasonably requested by them. The
Fair Market Value shall be determined without regard to any minority interest,
lack of marketability or other discounts for any Membership Interest and
without regard to any premiums for control.

agreement dated as of the date hereof between SATH and Scripps relating to
SATH&#146;s right to participate in future acquisitions by Scripps of a home
shopping network, Scripps or any Affiliate thereof may engage in or possess an
interest in any business venture of any nature or description, including,
without limitation, any business venture for the exploitation of home shopping
programming, content, merchandising, licensing and products and services and
all rights in connection therewith in all media and formats now or hereafter
devised, including without limitation, magazines, radio programming,
conventions and trade shows, independently or with others, which business
venture may be the same as, similar to or dissimilar to the business of the

Company or the LLC, nor any Shareholder of the Company or any member of the
LLC, will have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise in and to
such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the
pursuit by Scripps or any such Affiliate of any such venture, even if
competitive with the business of the Company or the LLC, will not be deemed
wrongful or improper. Neither Scripps nor any Affiliate thereof will be
obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company or
the LLC even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the
Company or the LLC, could be taken by the Company or the LLC or which, absent
this provision, would have to be presented to the Company or the LLC, and
Scripps or any such Affiliate will have the right to take for its own account
(individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such
particular investment opportunity.

would be inadequate and that, in addition to any other rights or remedies such
aggrieved party may have at law or in equity, the aggrieved party will be
entitled to specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement or an
injunction against any breach of this Agreement, without the necessity of proof
of actual damage. Accordingly, with respect to any action or proceeding
brought by such aggrieved party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement
against such Shareholder, each such Shareholder hereby waives the claim or
defense that such aggrieved party now has or hereafter has an adequate remedy
at law and such Shareholder hereby agrees not to assert such claim or defense
in any such action or proceeding. This provision will not be construed as
precluding such aggrieved party from exercising any other rights, privileges or
remedies to which such party may be entitled, all of which rights, remedies and
privileges will be deemed cumulative and none of which will be deemed
exclusive. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or
otherwise agreed to in writing executed by such aggrieved party, no course of
dealing on the part of, nor any omission or delay by, such aggrieved party will
operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or privilege, nor will any single

any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, privilege or

present a greater amount of programming other than Network Programming during
the Programming Period or significantly alter the time periods during which
such programming other than Network Programming is presented.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;SATH shall immediately notify the Company in the event that any
Station broadcasts more than 3.5 hours of programming other than Network
Programming in any calendar week and shall provide the Company with a complete
schedule of that week&#146;s programming other than Network Programming within one
week. SATH agrees that the next Network Payment for a month that includes the
last day of a calendar week in which any Station aired more than 3.5 hours of
programming other than Network Programming shall be reduced by an amount equal
to $.0001461 for every hour of programming other than Network Programming
broadcast in excess of the Programming Allowance multiplied by the number of
Network Households reached by the Station. Further, should any Station
broadcast more than 3.5 hours per calendar week of programming other than
Network Programming during any four calendar weeks per calendar year, the
Company, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or
otherwise, may immediately terminate the Agreement with respect to that
Station. The remedies set forth in this Section&nbsp;3 shall not apply if (i)
SATH&#146;s failure to broadcast Network Programming on any Station is a direct
result of an event of force majeure as provided in Section&nbsp;6 of this Agreement;
or (ii)&nbsp;SATH reasonably believes that such Network Programming is
unsatisfactory, unsuitable, or contrary to the public interest as described
below.

reasonably deems to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable, or contrary to the public
interest, SATH shall not fail to broadcast any Network Programming as a result
of commercial motivation; that is, programming shall not be deemed to be
unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the public interest based on
performance, ratings, or the availability of alternative programming which SATH
believes to be more profitable or more attractive.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments. In consideration of SATH entering into this Agreement and
the Stations&#146; performance of their obligations hereunder, the Company shall pay
SATH an amount calculated by dividing the product of $1.25 and the average
number of Network Households (as hereinafter defined) by twelve (the &#147;Network
Payment&#148;). For purposes of this Section&nbsp;4, &#147;Network Households&#148; shall mean the
number of cable households reached by the Network calculated by averaging the
total number of cable households reached by the Network on the first and last
day of each month during the Term. The Network Payment shall be due and
payable to SATH in arrears on a monthly basis on the fifteenth (15<sup>th</sup>) day of
each month during the Term. If any Network Payment is not made within ten (10)
days after the due date thereof, then such Network Payment will bear a penalty
equal to 1% of the amount of such Network Payment per month. The number of
Network Households shall be computed by SATH according to its normal historical
practices based on available information which it believes to be reliable and
according to the agreed upon procedures set forth on Exhibit&nbsp;B. Each Network
Payment shall be accompanied by a certification of SATH&#146;s Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Financial Officer that such amount
has been determined in compliance with this Section&nbsp;4. The Company shall have
the right, exercisable no more often than once per year, to conduct an audit of
SATH&#146;s calculations of the number of Network Households. If, as a result of
the audit, the Company concludes that SATH&#146;s calculations are overstated by a
factor of more than 5% for any Station, the resulting overpayments made during
the period of the audit shall be immediately paid to the Company by SATH.
Notwithstanding this payment obligation, SATH may object to the audit
determination made by the Company, and in that event the parties will mutually
agree upon an independent third party to conduct an audit of such calculations,
and the results of such

result of the audit by the third party, it is determined that SATH overstated
the number of Network Households during the audit period by more than 5% for
any Station, the cost of the audit shall be paid by SATH. Otherwise, the cost
of the audit shall be paid by the Company.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conditions of Station&#146;s Broadcast. As a condition to SATH&#146;s broadcast
of Network Programming on any Station, SATH shall not make any deletions from,
or additions or modifications to, any Network Program or any commercial,
Network identification, program promotional or production credit announcements
or other interstitial material contained therein, nor broadcast any commercial
or other announcements (except emergency bulletins) during any such program,
without the Company&#146;s prior written authorization. SATH shall broadcast each
Network Program on the Stations from the commencement of network origination
until the commencement of the next program.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Force Majeure. Neither SATH nor the Company shall incur any liability
to the other party hereunder because of the Company&#146;s failure to deliver, or
the failure of a Station to broadcast, any or all Network Programs due to
failure of facilities, labor disputes, government regulations, including, but
not limited to, applicable FCC regulations, or causes beyond the reasonable
control of the party so failing to deliver or to broadcast. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company&#146;s failure to deliver a program due
to cancellation of that program for any reason shall be deemed to be for causes
beyond the Company&#146;s reasonable control.

<P><FONT size="2">THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this &#147;Agreement&#148;) is dated as of &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2002, among (formerly known as SHOP AT HOME, INC.), a Tennessee corporation
(&#147;SATH&#148;), KCNS, INC., a Tennessee corporation (&#147;KCNS&#148;), WMFP, INC., a Tennessee
corporation (&#147;WMFP&#148;), WOAC, INC., a Tennessee corporation (&#147;WOAC&#148;), and SAH
LICENSE, INC., a Nevada corporation (&#147;SAH License&#148;), as the borrowers (each of
the foregoing individually, a &#147;Borrower&#148; and, collectively, the &#147;Borrowers&#148;),
and THE E.W. SCRIPPS COMPANY, an Ohio corporation, as the lender (the
&#147;Lender&#148;). Capitalized and certain other terms are defined in Section&nbsp;8 of
this Agreement.

LOAN, PREPAYMENT AND USE OF PROCEEDS
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1 Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Borrowers agree to borrow from the Lender, and the Lender agrees to loan to the
Borrowers, the principal sum of $47,500,000.00 (the &#147;Loan&#148;). The obligation to
repay the Loan pursuant to this Agreement will be evidenced by a promissory
note (the &#147;Note&#148;) of the Borrowers in the principal amount of $47,500,000.00 in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A and made a part hereof, and on the terms
set forth therein.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2 Prepayment. The Loan may be prepaid prior to maturity at any time or
from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. If the
Borrowers make any prepayment of the Loan, such prepayment will be applied
first to payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of the
Loan through the date of prepayment and then to payment of principal. After
any partial prepayment, regular payments will continue to be due and payable in
the same amounts and at the same times as required by the Note prior to
prepayment until the Loan is paid in full.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">The parties acknowledge that the Loan is secured by the Collateral. Without
limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if any Borrower sells,
transfers or otherwise disposes of, whether by sale of assets or Stock, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, by contract or otherwise (each a &#147;Transfer&#148;),
any interest in any Collateral, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender the
entire amount of the Net Proceeds received by any Borrower from such Transfer
as a prepayment of the Loan under this Section and such amount will be applied
in accordance herewith. Without the Lender&#146;s express written consent, no
Borrower may use any proceeds of a Transfer of Collateral to pay any taxes,
assessments, liens or other obligations other than those contemplated by the
definition of Net Proceeds.

<P><FONT size="2">The parties acknowledge that SATH and Scripps Networks, Inc., a subsidiary of

Company&#148;) (the Shareholders Agreement and the Amended and Restated Operating
Agreement will be referred to as the &#147;Network Partnership Agreements&#148;). The
Lender hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any event that under the
Network Partnership Agreements results in any provision thereof requiring or
permitting Scripps Networks or Holdings to offset all or any portion of the
Loan against SATH&#146;s right to receive payments from Scripps Networks or
Holdings, or requiring SATH to make a prepayment of the Loan, the Lender shall
accept such offsets with Scripps Networks and Holdings as valid prepayments
hereunder and the amount of such offsets as determined under the Network
Partnership Agreements will constitute satisfaction of the Loan to the extent
of such amount.

fund a portion of the payments necessary for the Borrowers to extinguish all of
their Indebtedness existing on the date hereof under SATH&#146;s $75,000,000 Senior
Secured Notes due April 2005 and the Loan and Security Agreement dated August

CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 Grant of Security Interest. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Lender
a continuing valid first lien and security interest (individually, the
&#147;Security Interest&#148; and collectively, the &#147;Security Interests&#148;) in all of their
respective right, title and interest in and to all currently existing and
hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of
any and all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Loan Documents and in order to secure prompt performance by each Borrower
of its respective covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Security
Interest shall attach to all of the Collateral without any further action on
the part of the Lender or the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, no Borrower has any
authority, whether express or implied, to Transfer or to create any Encumbrance
on any of the Collateral.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Evidence of Security Interest. The Security Interest shall be
evidenced and enhanced by this Agreement, the Financing Statements, the Pledge
Agreements and the Collateral Assignments of Leases. The Borrowers shall take
all steps required by any of the foregoing documents to perfect or enhance the
Security Interest, including without limitation by delivering such certificates
and stock powers as may be necessary to perfect the Security Interest in the
Pledged Stock and to the extent not delivered as of the Closing Date by using
commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the delivery of landlord lien
waivers and estoppels as to any leased real property.

definition of &#147;Collateral&#148; to the contrary, to the extent that this Agreement
or any other Loan Document purports to require any Borrower to grant a security
interest to the Lender in any Broadcast License now owned or hereafter
acquired, the Lender will have only a lien and security interest in such
Broadcast License at such time and to the extent that a lien and security
interest in such Broadcast License is permitted under applicable Legal
Requirements. Notwithstanding anything

shall not take any action pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
that would constitute or result in any assignment or deemed assignment of any
Broadcast License without obtaining the prior approval of the FCC or any other
necessary Governmental Body if, under the applicable Legal Requirements then in
effect, such assignment would require such approval. Prior to the Lender&#146;s
exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement
that requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization
of the FCC or any other Governmental Body, the Borrowers shall execute and

determines may be required to obtain such consent, approval, recording,
qualification or authorization. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, upon the Lender&#146;s request, the Borrowers shall use their good faith
efforts to assist the Lender in obtaining any of the foregoing consents,
approvals or authorizations.

requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date
hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter
referred to as the &#147;SEC Documents&#148;). A complete list of the SEC Documents is
set forth on Schedule&nbsp;4.4. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act. None
of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective dates, SATH&#146;s financial statements included
in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP (except as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto, or, in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or
summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the

statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No other information
provided by or on behalf of any Borrower to the Lender that is not included in

is intended to be performed in the State of Ohio and will be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of such state, without regard to conflicts
of laws principles, except to the extent that, by reason of any mandatory

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any
