         further reduced by $5,800,000 (and the original Tranche A Commitments
         of Lenders shall be ratably reduced to reflect such reduction in the
         aggregate amount of the Tranche A Commitments) without any reduction to

         Sublimit then in effect."

                  Letter of Credit being a "Drawn Tranche B L/C") and such
                  drawing is made on grounds upon which the beneficiary of such
                  Drawn Tranche B L/C could have drawn on the date of entry of
                  the Interim Borrowing Order, then upon such drawing (each such

                  Guaranty, shall be Prepetition Obligations (and shall
                  thereupon cease to accrue interest or fees (and shall not be
                  entitled to prepayments) under this Agreement, and all fees
                  and interest with respect to such Obligations that are accrued

                  and claims of the Tranche A Obligations and the Tranche B
                  Obligations under the Loan Documents or the Borrowing Orders,
                  and (b) the rights and obligations of Borrowers and Lenders
                  solely with respect to (x) such Specified Drawing and (y) any
                  participations with respect to such Specified Drawing shall be
                  governed by, and construed in accordance with, the terms of
                  the Prepetition Credit Documents as if this Agreement were
                  null and void ab initio and such Specified Drawing were an
                  honored drawing under the relevant Existing L/C; and

                           (ii) the Existing L/Cs designated on Schedule 1.1A
                  annexed hereto as "Alexandria Equity Bonds", "Babylon Equity
                  Bonds", "Huntington Equity Bonds", "Indianapolis Equity Bonds"
                  and "Stanislaus Equity Bonds" (such Tranche B Letters of
                  Credit being "Non-Rolled Tranche B L/Cs") (a) shall not become
                  Tranche B Letters of Credit, and all Obligations with respect
                  to such Non-Rolled Tranche B L/Cs shall not be Obligations for
                  purposes of subsection 2.10 and the Subsidiary Guaranty, shall
                  be Prepetition Obligations, shall not constitute Tranche B
                  Obligations for any purposes hereunder, and shall not be

                  the Loan Documents or the Borrowing Orders, (b) all Tranche B
                  Commitments with respect to such Non-Rolled Tranche B L/Cs and
                  all participations of the Tranche B Lenders in such Non-Rolled
                  Tranche B L/Cs shall be cancelled, and (c) the rights and
                  obligations of Borrowers and Lenders solely with respect to
                  such Non-Rolled Tranche B L/Cs shall be governed by, and
                  construed in accordance with, the terms of the Prepetition
                  Credit Documents as if subsection 3.1A(ii) of this Agreement
                  were null and void ab initio with respect to the
                  aforementioned Existing L/Cs and such Existing L/Cs remained
                  "Pooled Letters of Credit" as defined in the Prepetition
                  Credit Agreement.

         the other Loan Documents (excluding the Specified Drawings, the
         Non-Rolled Tranche B L/Cs, the Tranche C Loans and the Tranche C
         Commitments), and"

Credit Agreement. The representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of
the Credit Agreement are and will be true, correct and complete in all material
respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter

effect hereto, there exists no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
under the Credit Agreement.
