Mandatory Suspensions and Conversions of Eurodollar Rate Advances.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BANK ONE'S OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE OR CONTINUE OR CONVERT ADVANCES INTO EURODOLLAR
RATE ADVANCES OF ANY TYPE SHALL BE SUSPENDED, ALL BANK ONE'S OUTSTANDING
ADVANCES OF THAT TYPE SHALL BE CONVERTED ON THE LAST DAY OF THEIR APPLICABLE
EURODOLLAR BORROWING PERIODS (OR, IF EARLIER, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (III) BELOW,
ON THE LAST DAY BANK ONE MAY LAWFULLY CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN ADVANCES OF THAT
TYPE) INTO, AND ALL PENDING REQUESTS FOR THE MAKING OR CONTINUATION OF OR
CONVERSION INTO ADVANCES OF SUCH TYPE BY BANK ONE SHALL BE DEEMED REQUESTS FOR,
MBS RATE ADVANCES, IF:
on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for a
Eurodollar Rate Advance of that Type for any Eurodollar Borrowing Period, Bank
One determines that appropriate information is not available to it for purposes
of determining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Borrowing
Period;
on or prior to the first day of any Eurodollar Borrowing
Period for a Eurodollar Rate Advance of that Type, Bank One determines that the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as determined by Bank One for such Eurodollar Borrowing
Period would not accurately reflect the cost to Bank One of making, continuing,
or converting Advances into, a Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Type for such
Eurodollar Borrowing Period; or
at any time Bank One determines that any new Requirement of
Law or any change in any Requirement of Law existing on the Agreement Date
(other than any change in the articles of incorporation, by-laws or other
organizational or governing documents of Bank One) or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by Bank One with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority issued after the Agreement Date makes it unlawful or
impossible for Bank One to make, continue, or convert an Advance into, any Type
of Eurodollar Rate Advance, or to comply with its obligations hereunder in
respect thereof.
If, as a result of this section, any Advance of Bank One that would
otherwise be made or maintained as or converted into a Eurodollar Rate Advance
of any Type for any Eurodollar Borrowing Period is instead made or maintained as
or converted into a MBS Rate Advance, then, such Advance shall be treated as
being a Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Type for such Eurodollar Borrowing
Period for all purposes of this agreement except for the calculation of the
interest rate borne by such Advance. Bank One shall promptly notify Borrower of
the existence or occurrence of any condition or circumstance specified in clause
(i), (ii), or (iii) above, applicable to Bank One's Advances, but the failure by
Bank One to give any such notice shall not affect Bank One's rights hereunder.
Funding Losses. BORROWER SHALL PAY TO BANK ONE, UPON REQUEST, SUCH
--------------
AMOUNT OR AMOUNTS AS BANK ONE REASONABLY DETERMINES ARE NECESSARY TO COMPENSATE
IT FOR ANY FUNDING LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE INCURRED BY IT AS A RESULT OF (I) ANY
PAYMENT, PREPAYMENT OR CONVERSION OF A EURODOLLAR RATE ADVANCE ON A DATE OTHER
THAN THE LAST DAY OF THE EURODOLLAR BORROWING PERIOD FOR SUCH EURODOLLAR RATE
ADVANCE OR (II) A EURODOLLAR RATE ADVANCE FOR ANY REASON NOT BEING MADE OR
CONVERTED, OR ANY PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL THEREOF OR INTEREST THEREON NOT BEING
MADE, ON
237
THE DATE THEREFOR DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THIS AGREEMENT. AT THE ELECTION OF BANK ONE, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY
OF THE FOREGOING, BUT WITHOUT DUPLICATION, SUCH COMPENSATION ON ACCOUNT OF
LOSSES MAY INCLUDE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EXCESS OF (X) THE INTEREST THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM BORROWER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON ANY AMOUNTS TO BE
REEMPLOYED DURING AN EURODOLLAR BORROWING PERIOD OR ITS REMAINING PORTION OVER
(Y) THE INTEREST COMPONENT OF THE RETURN THAT BANK ONE REASONABLY DETERMINES IT
COULD HAVE OBTAINED HAD IT PLACED SUCH AMOUNT ON DEPOSIT IN THE INTERBANK DOLLAR
MARKET SELECTED BY IT FOR A PERIOD EQUAL TO SUCH EURODOLLAR BORROWING PERIOD OR
ITS REMAINING PORTION.
Payment of Additional Amounts. ANY ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS PAYABLE
-----------------------------
PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE PAYABLE, IN THE CASE OF THOSE APPLICABLE TO
PRIOR PERIODS, WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER REQUEST BY BANK ONE FOR SUCH PAYMENT AND, IN
THE CASE OF THOSE APPLICABLE TO FUTURE PERIODS, ON THE DATES SPECIFIED, OR
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A METHOD SPECIFIED, BY BANK ONE.
Certain Determinations; Notice. IN MAKING THE DETERMINATIONS
------------------------------
CONTEMPLATED BY clauses (a), (b), (c), AND (d) ABOVE, BANK ONE MAY MAKE SUCH
ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS, ALLOCATIONS AND THE LIKE THAT BANK ONE IN GOOD FAITH
DETERMINES TO BE APPROPRIATE, AND BANK ONE'S SELECTION THEREOF IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THIS SECTION, AND THE DETERMINATIONS MADE BY BANK ONE ON THE BASIS THEREOF,
SHALL BE FINAL, BINDING AND CONCLUSIVE UPON BORROWER, EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF
SUCH DETERMINATIONS, FOR MANIFEST ERRORS IN COMPUTATION OR TRANSMISSION. BANK
ONE SHALL FURNISH TO BORROWER A CERTIFICATE OUTLINING IN REASONABLE DETAIL THE
COMPUTATION OF ANY AMOUNTS CLAIMED BY IT UNDER clauses (a), (b), (c), AND (d)
ABOVE AND THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING SUCH COMPUTATIONS. BANK ONE WILL PROMPTLY
NOTIFY BORROWER OF ANY DETERMINATION MADE BY IT REFERRED TO IN clauses (a), (b),
(c), AND (d) ABOVE, BUT THE FAILURE TO GIVE SUCH NOTICE SHALL NOT AFFECT BANK
ONE'S RIGHT TO COMPENSATION.
Change of Eurodollar Lending Office, etc. IF AN EVENT OCCURS WITH
-----------------------------------------
RESPECT TO BANK ONE THAT ENTITLES BANK ONE TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER clause (a) OR
(b), OR WHICH MAKES OPERABLE THE PROVISIONS OF clause (c)(iii), BANK ONE SHALL,
IF REQUESTED BY BORROWER, USE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO TAKE ANY REASONABLE ACTION
(INCLUDING THE DESIGNATION OF A NEW EURODOLLAR LENDING OFFICE) TO REDUCE THE
AMOUNT BANK ONE IS SO ENTITLED TO CLAIM OR REDUCE SUCH OPERABILITY; PROVIDED,
THAT NO BANK ONE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO TAKE ANY ACTION UNDER THIS SECTION IF
SUCH ACTION, IN THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE JUDGMENT OF BANK ONE WOULD BE OTHERWISE
THAN IMMATERIALLY DISADVANTAGEOUS TO BANK ONE OR IN ANY MANNER CONTRARY TO BANK
ONE'S POLICIES. EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A CHANGE IN EURODOLLAR LENDING OFFICE
MADE AT THE REQUEST OF BORROWER, THE DESIGNATION OF A NEW EURODOLLAR LENDING
OFFICE BY BANK ONE SHALL NOT OBLIGATE BORROWER TO PAY ANY AMOUNT TO BANK ONE
UNDER clauses (a), (b), OR (c) IF SUCH CLAIM OR THE OPERABILITY OF SUCH CLAUSE
RESULTS SOLELY FROM SUCH DESIGNATION AND NOT FROM A CHANGE IN ANY REQUIREMENT OF
LAW AFTER THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

---------------
Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless Bank One, Bank One's
directors, officers, employees and each Person, if any, who is deemed to control
Bank One (any and all of whom are referred to as the "Indemnified Party") from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or
several (including all losses, claims, damages and liabilities resulting from
the negligence, but not the gross negligence of such Indemnified Party, and
including all legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by any
Indemnified Party, and including all legal fees or other expenses reasonably
incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the preparation for or
defense of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding, whether or not
resulting in any liability), to which such Indemnified Party may become subject
(whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) under any applicable
Federal, state or local law or otherwise caused by or arising out of, or
allegedly caused by or arising out of, this agreement or any transaction
contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any liability or penalty
arising out of any fact or circumstance which causes the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.5 to be false or incorrect, excepting only
losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnified Party.
PROMPTLY AFTER RECEIPT BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OF NOTICE OF ANY CLAIM,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO WHICH AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS ENTITLED TO
INDEMNITY HEREUNDER, SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WILL NOTIFY BORROWER OF SUCH CLAIM
OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, PROVIDED THAT THE FAILURE OF
AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO GIVE NOTICE AS PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL NOT RELIEVE
BORROWER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT BORROWER IS ACTUALLY PREJUDICED BY SUCH
FAILURE. BORROWER WILL
252
ASSUME THE DEFENSE OF SUCH CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND WILL EMPLOY
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND WILL PAY THE
REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF SUCH COUNSEL. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRECEDING
SENTENCE, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY WILL BE ENTITLED, AT THE EXPENSE OF
BORROWER, TO EMPLOY COUNSEL SEPARATE FROM COUNSEL FOR BORROWER AND FOR ANY
OTHER PARTY IN SUCH ACTION IF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY REASONABLY DETERMINES
THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR OTHER REASONABLE BASIS EXISTS WHICH MAKES
REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL CHOSEN BY BORROWER NOT ADVISABLE, PROVIDED THAT
BORROWER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PAY FOR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF MORE
THAN ONE COUNSEL FOR ALL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN RESPECT OF A PARTICULAR
CONTROVERSY. IN THE EVENT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY APPEARS AS A WITNESS IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES
(OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES) IN WHICH AN INDEMNIFIED
PARTY IS NOT NAMED AS A DEFENDANT, BORROWER AGREES TO REIMBURSE SUCH

misconduct on the part of Bank One or its directors, officers, agents or
employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby
waives any right that it may have to claim or recover from bank one or its
directors, officers, agents or employees any consequential, exemplary or
punitive damages; provided, that the borrower is not hereby waiving any right
that it may have to claim or recover any actual or direct damages from such
parties.

AGREEMENT, AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE CUMULATIVE, AND THE EXERCISE OR

Construction. This agreement, the note and each other loan document is a
------------
contract made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the united states of America and the state of Texas, as such laws
are now in effect, except as otherwise specified herein or therein, and, with
respect to usury laws, of any, applicable to bank one and to the extent allowed
thereby as such laws may be in effect which allow a higher maximum nonusurious
interest rate than such laws now allow. Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Xxx. Art.
5069, ch 15 (which regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving
triparty accounts) shall not apply to this agreement or the note.
Interest. ANY PROVISIONS HEREIN, IN THE NOTE, OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR
--------
ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR IN ANY OTHER
AGREEMENT OR COMMITMENT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, TO THE
CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, BANK ONE SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE
OR COLLECT, NOR SHALL OR MAY AMOUNTS RECEIVED HEREUNDER BE CREDITED, SO THAT
BANK ONE SHALL BE PAID, AS INTEREST, A SUM GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO BE CHARGED TO THE PERSON PRIMARILY OBLIGATED TO
PAY THE NOTE AT THE TIME IN QUESTION. IF ANY CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT,
THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER PAPERS, AGREEMENTS OR
COMMITMENTS INDICATE A DIFFERENT RIGHT GIVEN TO BANK ONE TO ASK FOR, DEMAND OR
RECEIVE ANY LARGER SUM AS INTEREST, SUCH IS A MISTAKE IN CALCULATION OR WORDING
WHICH THIS CLAUSE SHALL OVERRIDE AND CONTROL, IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE
PARTIES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER
DOCUMENTS EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL IN ALL THINGS
COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND PROPER ADJUSTMENTS SHALL AUTOMATICALLY BE MADE
ACCORDINGLY. IN THE EVENT THAT BANK ONE SHALL EVER RECEIVE, COLLECT OR APPLY AS
INTEREST, ANY SUM IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS RATE PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW (THE "Maximum Rate"), IF ANY, SUCH EXCESS AMOUNT SHALL BE APPLIED
TO THE REDUCTION OF THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE NOTE, AND IF THE SAME BE
PAID IN FULL, ANY REMAINING EXCESS SHALL BE PAID TO BORROWER. IN DETERMINING
WHETHER OR NOT THE INTEREST PAID OR PAYABLE, UNDER ANY SPECIFIC CONTINGENCY,
EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM RATE, IF ANY, BORROWER AND BANK ONE SHALL, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW: (A) CHARACTERIZE ANY NONPRINCIPAL PAYMENT
AS AN EXPENSE OR FEE RATHER THAN AS INTEREST, (B) EXCLUDE VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS
AND THE EFFECTS THEREOF, AND (C) "SPREAD" THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INTEREST
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TERM OF THE NOTE; PROVIDED THAT IF THE NOTE IS PAID AND
PERFORMED IN FULL PRIOR TO THE END OF THE FULL CONTEMPLATED TERM HEREOF, AND IF
THE INTEREST RECEIVED FOR THE ACTUAL PERIOD OF EXISTENCE THEREOF EXCEEDS THE
MAXIMUM RATE, IF ANY, THE PERSON HOLDING THE NOTE SHALL REFUND TO BORROWER THE
AMOUNT OF SUCH EXCESS.
255
To the extent that Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Xxx. art 50691.04, as amended (the
"ACT"), is relevant to the holder of the Note for purposes of determining the
Maximum Rate, each such holder elects to determine such applicable legal rate
under the Act pursuant to the "indicated rate ceiling", from time to time in
effect, as referred to and defined in article 1.04(a)(1) of the Act; subject,
however, to the limitations on such applicable ceiling referred to and defined
in article 1.04(b)(2) of the Act, and further subject to any right such holder
may have subsequently, under applicable law, to change the method of determining
the Maximum Rate.

SUCH PERSON, FROM OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF BORROWER, WHETHER FOR SAFEKEEPING,
CUSTODY, PLEDGE, TRANSMISSION, COLLECTION OR OTHERWISE, AND ALSO UPON ANY AND
ALL DEPOSITS (GENERAL OR SPECIAL, TIME OR DEMAND, PROVISIONAL OR FINAL) AND
CREDITS OF BORROWER, AND ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF BORROWER AGAINST SUCH PERSON AT
ANY TIME EXISTING. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, SUCH PERSON IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE TO BORROWER,
TO OFFSET, APPROPRIATE, AND APPLY ANY AND ALL ITEMS HEREINABOVE REFERRED TO
AGAINST TILE OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS SECTION OR ELSEWHERE
IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER BANK ONE NOR ANY ASSIGNEE OR
PARTICIPANT OF BANK ONE SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO OFFSET, APPROPRIATE OR APPLY ANY
ACCOUNTS OF BORROWER WHICH CONSIST OF ESCROWED FUNDS (EXCEPT AND TO THE EXTENT
OF ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST OF BORROWER IN SUCH ESCROWED FUNDS) ON DEPOSIT IN
ACCOUNTS WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED ON THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF THE
