                                                  ACXIOM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                              (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Acxiom Corporation ("Registrant" or "the Company"),
     without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of the
     Registrant's management, however, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods included
     have been made and the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. All such adjustments are of a
     normal recurring nature. Certain note information has been omitted because it has not changed significantly from that reflected
     in Notes 1 through 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed as a part of Item 14 of the Registrant's 2001
     Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2001. This report and the
     accompanying financial statements should be read in connection with the annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.
     The financial information contained in this report is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other
     period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2002.

     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
     and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with
     accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting
     policies that contain significant estimates, or that have changed significantly since March 31, 2001 are included below.

     Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101
     Effective January 1, 2001 the Company changed its method of accounting for certain transactions, retroactive to April 1, 2000,
     in accordance with SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  The cumulative effect of the change resulted in a
     charge to earnings of $37.5 million, net of income tax benefit of $21.5 million, which is included in the accompanying
     condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2000.  The effect of the change on the
     quarter and the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2000 was to decrease earnings before the cumulative effect of the change
     in accounting principle by $9.1 million ($0.09 per diluted share) and $15.4 million ($0.16 per diluted share), respectively.
     For the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company
     recognized approximately $4.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and approximately $14.8 million and $23.7 million,
     respectively, in revenue that was included in the cumulative effect adjustment.

     Revenue Recognition
     Revenues from services, including consulting, list processing and data warehousing, and from information technology outsourcing
     services, including facilities management contracts and hardware and certain other equipment, are recognized ratably over the
     term of the contract.  In certain multiple element arrangements, revenue is recognized on each element based on the objective
     evidence of the fair values of each element. If evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of the arrangement, then
     all revenue for the multiple element arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.  In the case of certain
     long-term contracts, capital expenditures and start-up costs that are direct and incremental to obtaining the contract are
     capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the service term of the contract, in accordance with SAB 101.  In
     certain outsourcing contracts, additional revenue is recognized based upon attaining certain annual margin improvements or cost
     savings over performance benchmarks as specified in the contracts. Such additional revenue is recognized when such benchmarks
     have been met.  The Company also sells hardware and certain other equipment under many of its services agreements. Revenue from
     the sale of such hardware and equipment is evaluated in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
     Abstract 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus net as an Agent," to determine whether such revenues should be
     recognized on a gross or a net basis over the term of the related service agreement.

     Revenues from the licensing of data are recognized upon delivery of the data to the customer in circumstances where no update
     or other obligations exist. Revenue from the licensing of data in which the Company is obligated to provide future updates on a
     monthly, quarterly or annual basis is recognized on a straight-line basis over the license term.

     Revenues from the sale of software are recognized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
     Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software
     Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions." SOP 97-2, as amended, generally requires revenue earned on software
     arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The
     fair value of an element must be based on evidence that is specific to the vendor. If evidence of fair value does not exist for
     all elements of a license arrangement, then all revenue for the license arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the
     agreement.  If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered
     elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Generally, prior to April 1, 2001, substantial revenue from the
     sale of software was recognized up front in accordance with SOP 97-2, as amended.  Effective April 1, 2001, the Company made
     certain modifications to its standard AbiliTec software license agreement such that vendor-specific objective evidence is not
     attainable on many of its software license transactions entered into subsequent to that date.  Accordingly, the Company now
     recognizes revenue from the sale of AbiliTec software licenses ratably over the term of the agreement.

     Additionally, the Company earns revenue for the maintenance of its software, which provides for the Company to provide
     technical support and software updates to customers. Revenue on technical support and software update rights is recognized
     ratably over the term of the support agreement.

     Software
     Costs of internally developed software are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the
     product, generally two to five years, or the amortization that would be recorded by using the ratio of gross revenues for a
     product to total current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product, whichever is greater. Research and development
     costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility of software products are charged to operations as incurred. Once
     technological feasibility is established, costs are capitalized until the software is available for general release.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of
     Long-lived assets and certain intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
     the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
     comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
     assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
     the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
     fair value less costs to sell.

     Prior Year Reclassifications
     Certain prior period amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to
     conform to the current period classifications.

2.   RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

    On June 25, 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan ("Restructuring Plan") for significant cost-reduction efforts,
    including a seven percent workforce reduction (412 individual associates).  Additionally, certain other associates who are part
    of the Information Technology ("IT") Management segment were terminated earlier in the first quarter.  In addition to these
    workforce reductions, the Company entered into an agreement whereby a significant amount of its computer equipment was sold and
    leased back, resulting in a loss of $31.2 million (see note 3).  Accordingly, the Company recorded charges related to these
    workforce reductions, the loss on the sale and leaseback of computer equipment and certain other restructuring activities, asset
    impairments and other adjustments and accruals as part of the Restructuring Plan. The aggregate amount of these charges recorded
    by the Company, including the loss on the sale-leaseback transaction, totaled $45.3 million and were recorded as gains, losses
    and nonrecurring items, net in the June 30, 2001 condensed consolidated financial statements.  The charges recorded by the
    Company, in addition to the loss on the sale-leaseback transaction, consisted of $8.3 million in associate-related reserves,
    principally employment contract termination and severance costs; $3.6 million for lease and contract termination costs and $2.2
    million for abandoned or otherwise impaired assets and transaction costs to be paid to accountants and attorneys.

    The associate-related charges include payments to be made under existing employment agreements with four terminated associates
    and involuntary termination benefits to 450 associates whose positions have been eliminated.  The contract termination costs
    consist primarily of lease terminations that occurred during the quarter-ended June 30, 2001 in an effort to consolidate
    portions of the Company's operations and the termination of certain other contracts on or prior to June 30, 2001 for services no
    longer utilized by the Company. The transaction costs are fees that were incurred as a direct result of the workforce
    reductions, the sale-leaseback transaction, and certain other restructuring and cost-cutting measures put in place during the
    quarter ended June 30, 2001.  Additionally, as discussed below, certain other assets were abandoned or were deemed impaired as a
    result of the Restructuring Plan.

    The following table shows the amounts related to the Restructuring Plan that were included in merger, integration and impairment
    accruals as of June 30, 2001 and the changes in those balances through the period ended December 31, 2001
    (dollars in thousands):

     Payments of $1.5 million were made during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 on associate-related items included above.  The
     remaining accruals will be paid out over periods ranging up to two years.

     In addition to the above charges, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation and amortization and certain other charges of
     approximately $25.8 million during the first quarter of the current year on certain software and long-lived assets that are no
     longer in service or have otherwise been deemed impaired under the appropriate accounting literature, primarily Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
     Marketed," or SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

     During the fourth quarter of the year-ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded a charge totaling $34.6 million relating to
     the bankruptcy filing of Montgomery Ward ("Wards"), a significant customer of the IT Management segment, for the write-down of
     impaired assets and for certain ongoing obligations that have no future benefit to the Company.

     The following table shows the balances related to Wards that were included in merger, integration and impairment accruals as of
     March 31, 2001 and the changes in those balances during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 (dollars in thousands):

     The remaining accruals will be paid out over periods ranging up to four years.





3.   SALE / LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

    On June 29, 2001, in connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it sold equipment
    with a net book value of $50.7 million to Technology Investment Partners, LLC ("TIP") and recorded a loss on this sale of $31.2
    million (see note 2). Simultaneous with the sale of this equipment, the Company also agreed to lease the equipment back from TIP
    for a period of thirty-six months. The Company received $1.9 million of the sale proceeds from TIP during July 2001 and received
    an additional $4.0 million of the sales proceeds during December 2001.  The remaining sales proceeds have been applied as a
    prepayment of the lease.  Included in property and equipment at December 31, 2001 is equipment of $17.5 million, net of
    accumulated depreciation and amortization, related to the assets under this leaseback arrangement. Additionally, a capital lease
    obligation in the amount of $4.0 million has been recorded in long-term debt by the Company representing the sales proceeds that

    During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company completed the sale of three of its business operations, including SIGMA,
    a database marketing operation headquartered in Rochester, New York; Buckley Dement, a list brokerage and fulfillment operation
    located in Skokie, Illinois; and a minor portion of its U.K. operations located in Spain and Portugal.  Gross proceeds from the
    sale of these operations were $15.1 million, consisting of cash of $6.8 million and notes receivable of $8.3 million, which is
    included in unbilled and notes receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The net gain recorded
    by the Company of $1.1 million is included in gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net in the accompanying condensed
    consolidated statements of operations.  The net gain recorded by the Company reflects the write-off of $1.9 million of goodwill
    (see note 13) as required under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

    During fiscal 2001, the Company completed the sale of its remaining interest in its Direct Media, Inc. ("DMI") business unit. As
    consideration, the Company received a 6% note of approximately $22.5 million payable over 7 years for the initial portion of its
    ownership interest and received an additional note in the amount of $1.0 million for its remaining ownership interest.  The
    Company also committed to complete the development of a computer system for the DMI business unit. The balance outstanding under
    these notes amounted to $14.7 million and $17.6 million at December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001, respectively, and is included
    in unbilled and notes receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

    On February 6, 2002, the Company completed an offering of $160 million of 3.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2009.  The
    initial purchasers have an option for thirty days to purchase a maximum of $15 million additional principal amount of notes to
    cover over-allotments.  The notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at a
    conversion price of $18.25 per share.  The notes are also redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any
    time on or after February 17, 2005 at a redemption premium. The holders of the notes also have the option to require the Company
    to repurchase the notes, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, on February 15, 2007.  The net proceeds to the Company of
    approximately $154.7 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) will be
    used to repay $25.7 million of the 6.92% senior notes payable due 2007 and to redeem on April 1, 2002 the $115 million of
    existing 5.25% convertible subordinated notes (plus a 1.05% prepayment premium) currently due in 2003.  The Company may also
    purchase certain of the existing convertible subordinated notes in the open market prior to such redemption.  The remaining
    proceeds of the notes will be used to repay borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.  Pending the payment or
    repurchase of the 6.92% senior notes and existing 5.25% convertible subordinated notes, the proceeds may be used to repay
    borrowings under the revolving credit facility or invested.

     Simultaneous with the offering of the convertible subordinated notes discussed above, the Company entered into an agreement to
     amend and restate its revolving credit facility whereby the committed amount available under the revolver was reduced from $265
     million to $175 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, or at an alternative
     base rate plus 0.75% or at the Federal funds rate plus 1.75%, depending upon the type of borrowing.  At December 31, 2001, the
     average interest rate under the revolving credit facility was approximately 4.07% per annum.  All borrowings under this credit
     facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and are due January 2005.  Additionally, the credit facility
     requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios including a maximum debt/cash flow ratio, a minimum fixed charge
     coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth.

     On September 21, 2001, the Company executed an agreement for the settlement of certain equity forward contracts (see note 7)
     through borrowings of $64.2 million from a bank under a term loan facility.  The borrowings under this term loan bear interest,
     payable semiannually, at LIBOR plus 3.75% or an alternative base rate depending upon the type of borrowing.  At December 31,
     2001, the interest rate under this facility was 4.75%. These borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of
     the Company's assets. The entire principal amount outstanding under this term loan is due November 30, 2005.

     Software license liabilities payable represent the present value of software license obligations payable over terms of up to
     seven years with several vendors.  Under these agreements, the Company has negotiated substantial price discounts, annual
     increases in capacity, right of use by its current and future subsidiaries, and the rights to provide the licensed software to
     certain of the Company's customers.  These liabilities will be satisfied with scheduled payments that generally increase each
     year as the Company uses additional capacity.  The related software assets are included in purchased software licenses on the
     accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

     At December 31, 2001, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants of its credit facility agreements. Accordingly,
     the Company has classified all portions of its debt obligations due beyond December 31, 2002 as long-term in the accompanying
     condensed consolidated financial statements.

     The effect of the convertible debt was excluded from the above calculations for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, and all
     stock options and warrants, the convertible debt and the effect of the equity forward contracts were excluded from the above
     calculations for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, because such items were antidilutive.  The equivalent share effect of
     the convertible debt excluded for both the quarter and the nine months ended December 31, 2001 was 5.8 million, and the
     equivalent share effect of the common stock options and warrants excluded for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 was 1.7
     million.  Interest expense on the convertible debt (net of income tax effect) excluded in computing diluted loss per share for
     the quarter and for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 was $1.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

     At December 31, 2001, the Company had options and warrants outstanding to purchase approximately 20.5 million shares of common
     stock.  Options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods reported, but were not
     included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market
     price of the common shares are shown below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

    Prior to their settlement as discussed below, the Company had entered into three equity forward contracts with a commercial bank
    to purchase 3.7 million shares of its common stock.  During April 2001, the Company had paid and recorded as a reduction of
    stockholders' equity, $22.5 million to reduce the notional amounts under the contracts to $64.2 million.

    As discussed in note 6, the Company obtained an agreement for the settlement of the equity forward contracts through borrowings
    of $64.2 million from a bank under a term loan facility. The funds from the term loan were used to pay the notional amount under
    the equity forward contracts and have been recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying condensed
    consolidated financial statements.  The Company has taken delivery of and retired the shares of common stock subject to the
    contracts and is no longer obligated under any equity forward contracts at December 31, 2001.  Prior to the settlement of the
    contracts, all shares of the Company's common stock under these agreements were considered issued and outstanding and have been
    included in the Company's basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations.

8.   ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

     Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts, returns, and credits of $5.9 million and $5.4

    Substantially all of the nonrecurring charges incurred with the Restructuring Plan discussed in notes 2 and 3 have been recorded
    in Corporate and other, since the Company does not hold individual segments responsible for these charges.

11.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

     The balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
     depreciation on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, was $7.0 million and $6.0 million at December 31, 2001
     and March 31, 2001, respectively.   Comprehensive income (loss) was $10.1 million and $26.9 million, respectively, for the
     quarters, and $(46.3) million and $32.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

12.  CONTINGENCIES

     Refer to Part II, Item 1 for a description of legal proceedings.

13.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which replaces
    Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, and issued SFAS No. 142, which replaces APB Opinion No. 17 and amends SFAS
    No. 121.  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 141, all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must be accounted for by
    the purchase method of accounting.  The use of the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations is
    prohibited.

    Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indeterminate life is
    discontinued; however, an impairment analysis must be performed for these intangible assets.  The Company has elected to early
    adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and has discontinued the amortization of its goodwill balances effective April 1, 2001,
    resulting in an increase in net earnings during the current quarter and a decrease in net loss during the nine months ended
    December 31, 2001 of approximately $2 million ($0.02 per diluted share) and $5 million ($0.06 per diluted share), respectively.
    Additionally, the discontinued amortization of goodwill of approximately $9 million pretax is expected to result in an increase
    in net income (loss) of approximately $7 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the year ended March 31, 2002.  Other acquired
    intangible assets, including the amortization thereof, was not material at December 31, 2001, at March 31, 2001, or for any of
    the periods presented. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company has completed part one of a two-part impairment analysis of its
    goodwill and has determined that no impairment of its goodwill exists as of April 1, 2001. Accordingly, step two of the goodwill
    impairment test associated with the initial implementation of SFAS No. 142 is not required.  However, additional impairment
    testing of the Company's goodwill may be required during future periods should circumstances indicate that the Company's goodwill
    balances might be impaired.  Additionally, the Company will have to complete annual testing of its goodwill balances in
    accordance with SFAS No. 142 to determine whether any possible impairment exists.  Such annual impairment testing is expected to
    be performed at the beginning of each fiscal year.  Any future impairment charge as a result of these tests will be reflected as
    a charge to operations during the period in which the impairment test is completed.

    The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 are as follows (dollars in
    thousands):

    Also, during June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement establishes
    the accounting and reporting requirements for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
    associated asset retirement costs.  Specifically, it requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
    obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Additionally,
    it requires certain disclosures including descriptions of asset retirement obligations and reconciliations of changes in the
    components of those obligations.  SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company's 2004 fiscal year. The Company expects the adoption
    of this statement will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

    During August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  This
    statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets by superceding SFAS
    No. 121 and APB Opinion No. 30.  SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for measuring the impairment of long-lived
    assets to be disposed of by sale and expands the scope of asset disposals that are reported as discontinued operations.  This
    Statement also resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121 regarding the measurement and the reporting of
    impairment losses associated with long-lived assets.  The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements for
    the Company's 2003 fiscal year.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its
    financial position, results of operations or cash flows.





Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

Acxiom Corporation, a global leader in Customer Data Integration ("CDI") and customer recognition infrastructure, enables businesses
to develop and deepen customer relationships by creating a single, accurate view of their customers across the enterprise.  Acxiom
achieves this by providing CDI software, database management services, and premier customer data content through its AbiliTec®,
Solvitur® and InfoBase® products, while offering a broad range of information technology outsourcing services.  Acxiom is
based in Little Rock, Arkansas, with locations throughout the United States and with operations in the United Kingdom, France and
Australia.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue recognition retroactive to April 1, 2000, in
accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  The cumulative effect
of the change resulted in a charge to earnings of $37.5 million, net of income tax benefit of $21.5 million.  The effect of the
change on the quarter and the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2000 was to decrease earnings before the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting principle by $9.1 million ($0.09 per diluted share) and $15.4 million ($0.16 per diluted share),
respectively. Also, effective April 1, 2001, the Company made certain modifications to its standard AbiliTec software license
agreement such that vendor-specific objective evidence is not attainable on many of its software license transactions entered into
subsequent to that date.  Accordingly, the Company now recognizes revenue from the sales of AbiliTec software licenses on a
subscription basis over the term of the agreement.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended December 31, 2001, consolidated revenue was $220.5 million, reflecting a 16% decrease from the third quarter
in the previous year.  Adjusting the prior year for the pro forma effects of subscription revenue recognition on AbiliTec software
sales results in a decrease of 10% for the current quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2001, consolidated revenue was $640.8 million, down 16% from the same period a year ago.
Adjusting for the pro forma effects of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec, revenue decreased by 9% compared to the prior
year. The decrease in revenue for both the quarter and the nine months is principally due to the economic slowdown and its impact on
the business this year.





The table below shows the Company's revenue by business segment for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.  The
pro forma amounts shown for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 have been adjusted for the effects of subscription revenue
recognition for AbiliTec (dollars in millions).

Services segment revenue of $159.5 million declined 19% over the prior year.  Adjusting the prior year revenue for the pro forma
effect of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec, the Services segment would have declined 8% over the same period.  For the
nine-month period ended December 31, 2001, Services segment revenue was $467.7 million, down 19% over prior year (or down 7% after
adjusting the prior year amount for the pro forma effect of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec). The decrease in revenues
year over year reflects the impact of the economy on the business, principally in the ability to generate incremental project work
normally associated with large contracts.

Data and Software Products segment revenue of $44.2 million declined 22% as compared to the three-month period ended December 31,
2000.  Adjusting the prior year for the pro forma effect of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec, the segment revenue would
have increased by 11% compared to the year earlier quarter.  For the nine-month period, Data and Software Products segment revenue
was $116.7 million, a decrease of 28% (or an increase of 15% after adjusting the prior year amount for the pro forma effect of
subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec) from the same period a year ago.  The increase in segment revenue as compared to the
prior year pro forma amounts is primarily attributable to increased data and data license sales.

IT Management segment revenue of $57.8 million reflects a 7% decrease over the prior year.  For the nine-month period, IT Management
revenue declined to $164.0 million compared to $170.8 million a year ago ($164.9 million a year ago after adjusting the prior year
amount for the pro forma effect of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec).  IT Management revenue for the quarter and the
nine months was up 9% and 7%, respectively, when compared to the prior year excluding revenue from the Wards contract, which
terminated in April 2001, and adjusting for the pro forma effect of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec.

Certain revenues, including certain data and software product revenue, are reported both as revenue in the segment which owns the
customer relationship (generally the Services segment) as well as the Data and Software Products segment which owns the product
development, maintenance, sales support, etc.   These duplicate revenues are eliminated in consolidation.  The intercompany
elimination decreased 22% for the quarter and decreased 25% for the nine-month period.

Salaries and benefits for the quarter decreased 16% from the prior year and 9% for the nine-month period. This decrease is primarily
attributable to the work force reductions that were a component of the restructuring plan discussed below and certain mandatory and
voluntary salary reductions effective April 2001.  The Company's associates received stock options in lieu of these mandatory and
voluntary salary reductions. The voluntary portion of the salary reductions is scheduled for reinstatement on April 1, 2002, and the
involuntary portion of the salary reductions are currently scheduled to be reinstated later during fiscal 2003 contingent upon the
Company achieving certain performance targets. The net impact of reinstatement of the voluntary and involuntary salary reductions is
expected to be approximately $16 million during fiscal 2003.

Computer, communications and other equipment costs increased 12% over the third quarter in the prior year.  For the nine-month
period, computer, communications and other equipment costs increased 35% over the prior year (17% after adjusting for the additional
depreciation and amortization taken during the quarter ended June 30, 2001).  The increase for both periods reflects increases in
leased data processing equipment. Capitalized software, including purchased and internally developed, is evaluated for impairment on
an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset might not be recoverable.
At December 31, 2001, the Company's most recent impairment analysis of its software indicates that no impairment exists. However, no
assurance can be given that future analysis of the Company's capitalized software will not result in an impairment charge.

Data costs for the quarter decreased 1% from the prior year and increased 8% for the nine-month period.  For the quarter, data sales
are flat due to an increase in Infobase data sales, offset by a decrease in sales under the Allstate contract.  Increases in data
costs year-to-date are primarily the result of increased Infobase data sales, as well as increases in sales under the Allstate
contract.

Other operating costs and expenses for the third quarter decreased by 28% compared to a year ago and decreased by 22% for the
nine-month period, primarily as a result of lower hardware sales during the current year.  Other factors causing the decrease relate
to lower travel and entertainment expenses, consulting and advertising.  These lower expenses reflect initiatives taken earlier in
the year to reduce the Company's cost structure. The decreases were partially offset in the current quarter by increases in bad debt
expense of $1.6 million in response to the bankruptcy of a customer.  The Company continues to evaluate the remaining receivable of
approximately $1.4 million from this customer.

Gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net was a gain of $1.1 million for the current quarter as a result of the disposal of certain
operations discussed below. For the nine-months ended December 31, 2001, gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net was $44.3 million
expense as compared to a gain of $3.1 million during the prior year, as discussed below.

On June 25, 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan ("Restructuring Plan") in reaction to the continued economic slowdown
and the related revenue impact.  The Restructuring Plan included a seven percent workforce reduction; the sale-leaseback of certain
computer equipment; and certain other asset impairments, adjustments and accruals (see notes 2 and 3 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements).  The aggregate amount of these Restructuring Plan charges recorded by the Company totaled $45.3 million
(included in gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2001) and consisted of a $31.2
million loss on the sale-leaseback of computer equipment; $8.3 million in associate-related reserves, principally employment
contract termination and severance costs; $3.6 million for lease and contract termination costs and $2.2 million for abandoned or
otherwise impaired assets and transaction costs to be paid to accountants and attorneys.  In addition, during the quarter ended June
30, 2001, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation and amortization and other charges of approximately $25.8 million on certain
other assets that are no longer in service or were otherwise deemed impaired.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company completed the sale of three of its business operations (see note 4 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail).  The gross proceeds from the sale of these operations were $15.1
million, consisting of cash of $6.8 million and notes receivable of $8.3 million, and the Company recorded a net gain of $1.1
million which is included in gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. The net gain recorded by the Company reflects the write-off of $1.9 million of goodwill in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142.

The net gain of $3.1 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 reflects a $39.7 million gain on the sale of the
DataQuick operation in April 2000; a $3.2 million loss on the sale of the CIMS business unit; a $20.0 million write-down of the
remaining 49% interest in the DMI operation; a $7.2 million write-down of campaign management software, and a $6.3 million accrual
established to fund over-attainment incentives.   All of these items were recorded during the first quarter of the prior year.

Income from operations for the quarter of $26.7 million represents a decrease of 40% from the prior year. For the nine-month period,
income (loss) from operations declined to a loss of $(46.1) million as compared to earnings of $123.9 million a year ago.  Excluding
gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net and adjusting the prior year to include the pro forma effects of subscription revenue
recognition for AbiliTec, operating income decreased $0.4 million for the current quarter.  Excluding the gains, losses and
nonrecurring items, net and the accelerated depreciation discussed above and adjusting the prior year to include the pro forma
effects of subscription revenue recognition for software, operating income (loss) for the nine months ended December 31, 2001
decreased $37.4 million.

Interest expense for the quarter of $7.8 million ($21.7 million for the nine-month period) increased from $7.0 million ($18.4
million for the nine-month period) last year reflecting higher average debt levels this year. Other, net decreased from $1.2 million
income in last year's third quarter to $1.1 million expense this year, primarily as a result of "other than temporary" losses on
investments recorded during the current quarter of $1.0 million.  Other, net for the nine months decreased from income of $8.4
million to expense of $3.4 million largely due to a $6.2 million gain on the sale of the Company's investment in Ceres during the
prior year and the investment losses during the current year.

Earnings before income taxes of $17.9 million for the quarter decreased $20.6 million over the same quarter a year ago. For the nine
months, earnings (loss) before income taxes was a loss of $(71.3) million, compared to earnings of $113.9 million last year.
Adjusting the prior year for the pro forma effects of the subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec; excluding the gains, losses
and nonrecurring items, net from both years; and excluding the accelerated depreciation and amortization recorded during the quarter
ended June 30, 2001, the change from the prior year would have been decreases of approximately $3.4 million and approximately $46.3
million, respectively, for the three months and for the nine months ended December 31, 2001.

The Company's effective tax rate was 37% in the current quarter and 36.4% for the nine months compared to 38.5% during both periods
in the prior year.  The Company currently expects its effective tax rate to remain at approximately 37% for fiscal 2002.  This
estimate is based on current tax law and current estimates of earnings, and is subject to change.

Basic earnings per share for the quarter was $0.13 compared to $0.27 a year ago.  Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was
$0.13 compared to $0.25 a year ago.  For the nine-month period, basic earnings (loss) per share before the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle was $(0.51) compared to $0.79 a year ago.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share before the cumulative
effect of the accounting change was $(0.51) for the nine months compared to $0.74 a year ago. Excluding the special charges included
in gains, losses and nonrecurring items, net during both years; the accelerated depreciation and amortization recorded during the
current year; approximately $18 million of operating expenses incurred during the first quarter of the current year that are not
expected to recur as a result of the Restructuring Plan; investment losses in both years; and adjusting the prior year for the pro
forma effect of subscription revenue recognition for AbiliTec, diluted earnings (loss) per share would have been $0.13 for each of
the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and $0.15 and $0.30, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and
2000.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Working capital at December 31, 2001 totaled $110.8 million compared to $138.1 million at March 31, 2001.  At December 31, 2001, the
Company had available credit lines of $265 million of which $123.9 million was outstanding.  The Company's debt-to-capital ratio
(capital defined as long-term debt plus stockholders' equity) was 46% at December 31, 2001 compared to 37% at March 31, 2001 and 35%
at December 31, 2000. The increase largely relates to the new $64.2 million term loan entered into in settlement of the pre-existing
equity forward agreements.  Included in long-term debt at both December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001 are the 5.25% convertible notes
in the amount of $115.0 million.  The conversion price for the convertible notes is $19.89 per share.  If the price of the Company's
common stock increases above the conversion price prior to the anticipated redemption of the notes on April 1, 2002, it is possible
this debt would be converted to equity (see note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).  Total stockholders' equity
has decreased to $491.0 million at December 31, 2001 primarily due to the net loss reported during the quarter ended June 30, 2001
(partially offset by earnings reported in the second and third quarters), payments of $23.5 million made on the equity forward
contracts and the settlement of the remaining balance of the equity forward contracts through the proceeds of the term note
discussed above.

Cash provided by operating activities was $90.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $14.3 million used
by operating activities for the same period in the prior year.   Operating cash flow was increased by $24.5 million in the current
year, and was reduced by $153.5 million in the prior year due to the net change in operating assets and liabilities.  The change in
the current period primarily reflects a decrease in accounts and notes receivable and other current assets, partially offset by a
decline in accounts payable and other liabilities.  Accounts receivable days sales outstanding ("DSO") were 66 days at December 31,
2001, compared to 70 days at March 31, 2001 and 79 days at December 31, 2000.

Investing activities used $63.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $84.6 million a year previously.
Investing activities in the current year include capitalized software development costs of $17.2 million, capital expenditures of
$11.4 million and $40.8 million of cost deferrals.  Capital expenditures decreased compared to the previous year due to leveraging
investments made during recent years to develop the AbiliTec infrastructure, measures the Company has put into place to control
costs, as well as the Company's decision to generally lease equipment which is needed to support customers to better match cash
inflows from customer contracts and cash outflows.  Deferral of costs, which are being recognized over the life of the related
service agreement, increased slightly compared to the previous year.

The Company has entered into certain synthetic operating lease facilities for computer equipment, furniture and an aircraft.  These
synthetic operating lease facilities are accounted for as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles and are
treated as capital leases for income tax reporting purposes.  Lease terms under the computer equipment and furniture facility range
from three to seven years, with the Company having the option at expiration of the initial term to return, or purchase at a fixed
price, or extend or renew the term of the leased equipment.  These synthetic operating leases better match inflows of cash from
customer contracts to outflows related to lease payments.  Monthly payments under these facilities are approximately $4 million. The
Company's potential purchase commitment over the next twelve months, should it elect to purchase the equipment upon expiration of
the initial term, is approximately $7.4 million. The lease term under the aircraft facility expires in January 2010, with the
Company having the option at expiration to either purchase the aircraft at a fixed price, renew the lease for an additional twelve
month period (with a nominal purchase price being paid at the expiration of the renewal period) or return the aircraft in the
condition and manner required by the lease.  As of December 31, 2001, the total amount drawn under these synthetic operating lease
facilities was $173.2 million and the remaining capacity for additional funding (for computer equipment and furniture only) was
$80.3 million.  The Company has made aggregate payments of $63.0 million through December 31, 2001, and has a remaining commitment
under these synthetic operating lease facilities of $92.5 million payable over the next nine years.





The Company has entered into a real estate synthetic lease arrangement with respect to a facility under construction in Little Rock,
Arkansas and land in Phoenix, Arizona.  Under the arrangement, the Company has agreed to lease each property for an initial term of
five years with an option to renew for an additional two years, subject to certain conditions. The lessors have committed to fund up
to a maximum of $45.5 million for the construction of the Little Rock building and acquisition of the land at both sites.  At
December 31, 2001, the remaining amount of the commitment available from the lessors was approximately $18 million.  The Little Rock
building is expected to cost approximately $30 to $35 million, including interest during construction, and is expected to be
completed in October 2002.  The impact of the leasing arrangement is expected to reduce operating cash flow by approximately $3
million per year over the term of the lease, which will be offset by reductions in temporary leased facilities.  At any time during
the term of the lease, Acxiom may, at its option, purchase the land and building for a price approximately equal to the amount
expended by the lessors.  If the Company does not purchase the land and building, the Company has guaranteed a residual value of 87%
of the construction costs or approximately $40 million at the end of the lease term.

Net cash paid in acquisitions during the prior year was $16.0 million (none in the current year), and proceeds received from the
disposition of assets were $9.6 million during the current year as compared to $60.0 million in the prior year. Investing activities
during the current year also include advances made to fund certain investments and joint ventures operations of $7.2 million
compared to $20.3 million in the prior year.  During the current quarter, the Company received $4.0 million from TIP in connection
with the sale/leaseback transaction discussed in note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Over the last two quarters the Company has generated positive cash flows from operating activities totaling $129.8 million and
positive free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less cash used by investing activities) of $93.7 million,
including $50.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. During the current quarter, the Company had positive free cash flow
of approximately $10 million from the disposition of assets, approximately $10 million from customer prepayments, and approximately
$4 million of proceeds from the sale leaseback transaction that are not expected to recur during future periods.

With respect to two of its joint venture investments, Acxiom has provided cash advances to fund losses and cash flow deficits of
$4.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001.  Although Acxiom has no commitment to continue to do so, the Company
expects to continue funding such losses and deficits until such time as these joint ventures become profitable.  Acxiom may, at its
discretion, discontinue providing financing to these joint ventures during future periods.  In the event that Acxiom ceases to
provide funding and these joint ventures have not achieved profitable operations, the Company may be required to record an
impairment charge up to the amount of the carrying value of these joint venture investments ($10.9 million at December 31, 2001).
Also, during the current quarter, the Company has recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations an
impairment charge on certain of its investments of $1.0 million, and it has recorded temporary impairment of certain of its
investments as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the amount of $0.9 million ($1.4 million year-to-date).  In the
event that further declines in the value of its investments continue, the Company may be required to record further temporary and/or
"other than temporary" impairment charges of its investments.

On June 29, 2001, in connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it sold equipment to
Technology Investment Partners, LLC ("TIP") (see notes 2 and 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).  Simultaneous
with the sale of this equipment, the Company also agreed to lease the equipment back from TIP for a period of thirty-six months. The
Company received $1.9 million of the sale proceeds from TIP during July 2001 and received an additional $4.0 million of the sales
proceeds during December 2001 as discussed above. The remaining $13.5 million of the sales proceeds has been applied as a prepayment
of the lease. Included in property and equipment at December 31, 2001 is equipment of $17.5 million, net of accumulated depreciation
and amortization, related to the assets under this leaseback arrangement.  Additionally, the Company recorded a capital lease
obligation in the amount of $4.0 million, representing the sales proceeds that must be repaid to TIP under the leaseback provision
of this agreement.

Financing activities in the current year used $40.3 million, a large portion of which relates to net repayments of the Company's
revolving credit facility.  The Company also paid $23.5 million in aggregate payments on certain equity forward contracts during the
current year prior to the settlement of those contracts during September 2001 through a term note payable in 2005. Proceeds from the
sale of common stock were $8.6 million and $22.9 million, respectively, during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2001 and
2000.  The Company also has purchased $7.5 million of common stock in the open market during the prior period (none during the
current year).  Financing activities in the prior year provided $90.3 million primarily due to proceeds received from debt.

During April 2001, prior to the settlement of the equity forward contracts, the Company had paid $22.5 million to reduce the
notional amounts under the contracts to $64.2 million.  On September 21, 2001, the Company obtained an agreement for the settlement
of the equity forward contracts through borrowings of approximately $64.2 million from a bank under a term loan facility.  The funds
from the term loan were used to pay the notional amount under the equity forward contracts and have been recorded as a reduction of
stockholders' equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
The Company has taken delivery of and retired the shares of common stock subject to the contracts and is no longer obligated under
any equity forward contracts as of December 31, 2001.

In connection with the construction of certain of the Company's other buildings and facilities, the Company has entered into 50/50
joint ventures with local real estate developers.  In each case, the Company is guaranteeing portions of the loans for the
buildings.  The aggregate amount of the guarantees at December 31, 2001 was $4.4 million. The Company has not recorded the guarantee
obligation or the underlying assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

While the Company does not have any other material contractual commitments for capital expenditures, minimum levels of investments
in facilities and computer equipment continue to be necessary to support the growth of the business.  It should be noted, however,
that the Company has spent considerable capital over the last two years building the AbiliTec infrastructure.  It is the Company's
current intention generally to lease any new required equipment to better match cash outflows with customer inflows.  In addition,
new outsourcing or facilities management contracts frequently require substantial up-front capital expenditures in order to acquire
or replace existing assets. We believe that our existing available debt and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our
working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.  The Company also evaluates acquisitions from time
to time, which may require up-front payments of cash.  Depending on the size of the acquisition it may be necessary to raise
additional capital.  If additional capital becomes necessary as a result of any material variance of our operating results from our
projections or from potential future acquisitions, the Company would first use available borrowing capacity under its revolving
credit agreement, followed by the issuance of other debt or equity securities.  However, no assurance can be given that the Company
would be able to obtain funding through the issuance of other debt or equity securities at terms favorable to the Company, or that
such funding would be available.

On February 6, 2002, the Company completed an offering of $160 million of 3.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2009. The initial
purchasers have an option for thirty days to purchase a maximum of $15 million additional principal amount of notes to cover
over-allotments.  The notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion
price of $18.25 per share.  The notes are also redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time on or after
February 17, 2005 at a redemption premium.  The holders of the notes also have the option to require the Company to repurchase the
notes, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, on February 15, 2007.  The net proceeds to the Company of approximately $154.7
million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) will be used to repay $25.7 million
of the 6.92% senior notes payable due 2007 and to redeem on April 1, 2002 the $115 million of existing 5.25% convertible
subordinated notes (plus a 1.05% prepayment premium) currently due in 2003.  The Company may also purchase certain of the existing
convertible subordinated notes in the open market prior to such redemption.  The remaining proceeds of the notes will be used to
repay borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.  Pending the payment or repurchase of the 6.92% senior notes and
existing 5.25% convertible subordinated notes, the proceeds may be used to repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility or
invested.

Simultaneous with the offering of the convertible subordinated notes discussed above, the Company entered into an agreement to amend
and restate its revolving credit facility whereby the committed amount available under the revolver was reduced from $265 million to
$175 million.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, or at an alternative base rate plus
0.75% or at the Federal funds rate plus 1.75%, depending upon the type of borrowing. At December 31, 2001, the average interest rate
under the revolving credit facility was approximately 4.07% per annum.  All borrowings under this credit facility are secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets and are due January 2005.  Additionally, the credit facility requires the Company to
maintain certain financial ratios including a maximum debt/cash flow ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum
tangible net worth.

On September 21, 2001, the Company executed an agreement for the settlement of certain equity forward contracts (see note 7) through
borrowings of $64.2 million from a bank under a term loan facility.  The borrowings under this term loan bear interest, payable
semiannually, at LIBOR plus 3.75% or an alternative base rate depending upon the type of borrowing.  At December 31, 2001, the
interest rate under this facility was 4.75%.  These borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets. The entire principal amount outstanding under this term loan is due November 30, 2005.





In connection with the repayment of certain outstanding credit facilities from the convertible subordinated note proceeds previously
discussed, the Company expects to write-off approximately $1.5 million, net of tax, of deferred financing costs and redemption
premium associated with these credit facilities.  Under generally accepted accounting principles, this charge will be reported as an
extraordinary item in the period in which the underlying obligation is retired (see New Accounting Pronouncements below).

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock. The Company presently intends to retain its earnings to provide funds
for its business and for the expansion of its business.  Thus, it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.

Other Information

In accordance with a data center management agreement dated July 27, 1992 between Acxiom and Trans Union LLC ("TransUnion"), Acxiom
(through its subsidiary, Acxiom CDC, Inc.) acquired all of TransUnion's interest in its Chicago data center and agreed to provide
TransUnion with various data center management services.  The current term of the agreement expires in 2005.  In a 1992 letter
agreement, Acxiom agreed to use its best efforts to cause one person designated by TransUnion to be elected to Acxiom's board of
directors.  TransUnion designated its CEO and President, Harry C. Gambill, who was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board in
November 1992 and was elected at the 1993 annual meeting of stockholders to serve a three-year term.  He was elected to serve
additional three-year terms at the 1996 and 1999 annual stockholders meetings, and is a nominee for director at the 2002 annual
meeting.  Under a second letter agreement, executed in 1994 in connection with an amendment to the 1992 agreement, which continued
the then-current term through 2002, Acxiom agreed to use its best efforts to cause two people designated by TransUnion to be elected
to Acxiom's board of directors. In addition to Mr. Gambill, TransUnion designated Robert A. Pritzker, an executive officer of Marmon
Industrial Corporation, who was appointed to fill a newly created position on Acxiom's board of directors in October 1994.  Mr.
Pritzker was elected to serve a three-year term at the 1995 annual meeting and was elected to serve a second three-year term at the
1998 annual meeting.  Mr. Pritzker resigned from the board in May 2000, to attend to other business obligations. While these
undertakings by Acxiom are in effect until the end of the current term of the agreement (2005), Acxiom has been notified that
TransUnion does not presently intend to designate another individual to serve as director.  During the quarter and the nine-months
ended December 31, 2001, Acxiom received approximately $16.7 million and $37.4 million, respectively, in revenue from Trans Union.
All revenues received from TransUnion have been in accordance with the pricing terms established under the agreement.

Under an agreement dated March 14, 1997, Allstate Insurance Company ("Allstate") and certain of its affiliates purchased $30 million
of 6.92% senior notes due March 2007.  These notes are repayable annually in the amount of $4.3 million beginning March 2001, with
interest payable semiannually each March and September.  The notes are expected to be paid off in February 2002, as discussed above.
During September 2001, the Company paid Allstate and certain of its affiliates $0.9 million in interest payments under these notes.
Allstate is also under a long-term contract that expires in 2004.  During the quarter and the nine-months ended December 31, 2001,
the Company received approximately $19.9 million and $65.8 million, respectively, in revenue from Allstate.  All revenues received
from Allstate have been in accordance with the pricing terms established under the long-term contract.

New Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which replaces
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, and issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which replaces
APB Opinion No. 17 and amends SFAS No. 121. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 141, all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 must be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.  The use of the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for
business combinations is prohibited.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indeterminate life is
discontinued.  However, an impairment analysis must be performed for these intangible assets, at least annually, with any impairment
recorded as a charge to earnings during the period in which the impairment test is completed. The Company has elected to early adopt
the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and has discontinued the amortization of its goodwill balances effective April 1, 2001, resulting in
an increase to net earnings during the current quarter and a decrease in the net loss during the nine months ended December 31, 2001
of approximately $2 million ($0.02 per diluted share) and $5 million ($0.06 per diluted share), respectively.  Additionally, the
discontinued goodwill amortization of approximately $9 million pretax is expected to result in an increase in net income (loss) of
approximately $7 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the year ended March 31, 2002.  Other acquired intangible assets, including
the amortization thereof, was not material at December 31, 2001, at March 31, 2001, or for any of the periods presented. As required
by SFAS No. 142, the Company has completed part one of a two-part impairment analysis of its goodwill and has determined that no
potential impairment of its goodwill exists as of April 1, 2001.  Accordingly, step two of the goodwill impairment test associated
with the initial implementation of SFAS No. 142 is not applicable.  However, additional impairment testing of the Company's goodwill
may be required during future periods should circumstances indicate that the Company's goodwill balances might be impaired.
Additionally, the Company will have to complete annual testing of its goodwill balance in accordance with SFAS No. 142 to determine
whether any possible impairment exists. Such annual impairment testing is expected to be performed at the beginning of the Company's
fiscal year.

Also, during June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."  This statement establishes the
accounting and reporting requirements for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs.  Specifically, it requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation
be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  Additionally, it requires
certain disclosures including descriptions of asset retirement obligations and reconciliations of changes in the components of those
obligations.  SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company's 2004 fiscal year.  The Company expects the adoption of this statement will
not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets by superceding SFAS No. 121 and APB
Opinion No. 30.  SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for measuring the impairment of long-lived assets to be disposed
of by sale and expands the scope of asset disposals that can be reported as discontinued operations.  This Statement also resolves
significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121 regarding the measurement and the reporting of impairment losses
associated with long-lived assets.  The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements for the Company's 2003
fiscal year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

The FASB currently has outstanding in exposure draft format, a proposed SFAS, "Accounting for Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of Liabilities, Equity or Both."  This exposure draft, in its current form, could have a significant impact on the
Company's accounting for its convertible debt obligations by requiring some amount of those convertible debt obligations to be
classified as equity.  The issuance of a final SFAS is expected during fiscal 2003.  The Company will continue to monitor the
progress of this exposure draft and its potential impact on the Company's financial position and/or results of operations.

On December 31, 2001, the "Big Five" accounting firms, with the endorsement of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, issued a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the Commission") to petition for the issuance of an
interpretative release.  The objective of the proposed interpretative guidance is to facilitate enhanced disclosures to the
requirements of Regulation S-K Item 303, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
("MD&A").  Specifically, the suggested improved disclosures include 1) liquidity and capital resources including off-balance
sheet arrangements; 2) certain trading activities that include non-exchange traded contracts accounted for at fair value; and 3)
relationships and transactions on terms that would not be available from clearly independent third parties. On January 22, 2002, the
Commission issued a statement setting forth its views regarding such MD&A disclosures.  The statement indicates that registrants
should consider all matters raised by the petition in the preparation of MD&A in all subsequent filings.  The Company believes
its MD&A disclosures comply with this guidance.

In November 2001, the FASB issued an exposure draft to rescind SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt".
Under the proposed exposure draft, gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt would no longer be classified as an
extraordinary item, net of income taxes, but instead would be included in the determination of pretax earnings. If a final statement
is issued prior to March 31, 2002, as is currently projected by the FASB, and does not contain any material modifications, any gains
or losses from the retirement of certain of the Company's existing credit facilities, as well as the write-off of deferred financing
costs and redemption premium previously discussed, would not be reported as an extraordinary item, but would be included in the
pretax earnings (loss) of the Company.

Forward-looking Statements

This filing and other statements made by the Company may contain forward-looking statements.  These statements, which are not
statements of historical fact, may contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding the Company's financial
position, results of operations, market position, product development, growth opportunities, economic conditions, and other similar
forecasts and statements of expectations.  These statements are generally indicated by words or phrases such as "anticipate,"
"estimate," "plan," "expect," "believe," "intend," "foresee," and similar words or phrases. These forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause the actual results and
experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements.  The
following are important factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking
statements: The possibility that certain contracts may not be closed or closed within the anticipated time frames; the possibility
that economic or other conditions might lead to a reduction in demand for the Company's products and services; the possibility that
the current economic slowdown may worsen and/or persist for an unpredictable period of time given the attacks upon the people of the
United States of America and other economic factors; the possibility that economic conditions will not improve as rapidly as
expected; the possibility that significant customers may experience extreme, severe economic difficulty; the possibility that sales
cycles may lengthen; the continued ability to attract and retain qualified technical and leadership associates and the possible loss
of associates to other organizations; the ability to properly motivate the sales force and other associates of the Company; the
ability to achieve cost reductions and avoid unanticipated costs; the continued availability of credit upon satisfactory terms and
conditions; the introduction of competent, competitive products, technologies or services by other companies; changes in consumer or
business information industries and markets; the Company's ability to protect proprietary information and technology or to obtain
necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms; the difficulties encountered when entering new markets or industries; changes
in the legislative, accounting, regulatory and consumer environments affecting the Company's business including but not limited to
litigation, legislation, regulations and customs relating to the Company's ability to collect, manage, aggregate and use data; data
suppliers might withdraw data from the Company, leading to the Company's inability to provide certain products and services;
short-term contracts affect the predictability of the Company's revenues; the possibility that the amount of ad hoc project work
will not be as expected; the potential loss of data center capacity or interruption of telecommunication links or power sources;
postal rate increases that could lead to reduced volumes of business; customers that may cancel or modify their agreements with the
Company; the potential disruption of the services of the United States Postal Service; the successful integration of any acquired
businesses; and other competitive factors. With respect to the providing of products or services outside the Company's primary base
of operations in the U.S., all of the above factors and the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to
differences in culture, laws and regulations. Other factors are detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports and
registration statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Acxiom believes that it has the product and
technology offerings, facilities, associates and competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future
revenues, costs, margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are
inherently difficult to forecast. Acxiom undertakes no obligation to update the information contained in this filing or any other
forward-looking statement.





Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Acxiom's earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates primarily as a result of its revolving credit agreement and
term note, which bear interest at a floating rate.  Acxiom does not use derivative or other financial instruments to mitigate the
interest rate risk.  Risk can be estimated by measuring the impact of a near-term adverse movement of 10% in short-term market
interest rates.  If short-term market interest rates average 10% more during the next four quarters than during the previous four
quarters, there would be no material adverse impact on Acxiom's results of operations.  Acxiom has no material future earnings or
cash flow expenses from changes in interest rates related to its other long-term debt obligations as substantially all of Acxiom's
remaining long-term debt instruments have fixed rates. At both December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001 the fair value of Acxiom's fixed
rate long-term obligations approximated carrying value.

Although Acxiom conducts business in foreign countries, principally the United Kingdom, foreign currency translation gains and
losses are not material to Acxiom's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, Acxiom is not
currently subject to material foreign exchange rate risks from the effects that exchange rate movements of foreign currencies would
have on Acxiom's future costs or on future cash flows it would receive from its foreign investment.  To date, Acxiom has not entered
into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates.





PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.
           On September 20, 1999, the Company and certain of its directors and officers were sued by an individual shareholder in a
           purported class action filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas ("the Court").  The
           action alleges that the defendants violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 ("the 1933 Act") in connection with
           the July 23, 1999 public offering of 5,421,000 shares of the common stock of the Company.  In addition, the action seeks
           to assert liability against the Company Leader pursuant to Section 15 of the 1933 Act.  The action seeks to have a class
           certified of all purchasers of the stock sold in the public offering. Two additional suits were subsequently filed in the
           same venue against the same defendants and asserting the same allegations.  On March 29, 2001, the court granted the
           defendants' motion to dismiss.  The plaintiffs appealed the decision to dismiss to the United States Court of Appeals for
           the Eighth Circuit.  The Company continues to believe the allegations are without merit and will continue to vigorously
           contest the cases.

           The Company is involved in various other claims and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of the business.
           None of these, however, are believed to be material in their nature or scope.

                                                    The Securities

Section 2.01.  Form And Dating.

         The Securities and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture.  The Securities may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication.

         Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more
Global Securities, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the "Global Security").  The aggregate
principal amount of the Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided.

Section 2.02.......  Execution And Authentication.

         An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

         If the Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is
authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

         A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

         Upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of
the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount of $160,000,000
and such additional principal amounts, if any, as shall be determined pursuant to the next sentence of this Section
2.02.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate stating that the Initial Purchasers have elected to
purchase from the Company a specified principal amount of additional Securities, not to exceed $15,000,000, pursuant
to Section l of the Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2002 by and among the Company, as issuer, and J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, ABN AMRO Rothschild LLC, First Union Securities, Inc., Scotia
Capital (USA) Inc., SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Inc. and Stephens Inc., as initial
purchasers (the "Initial Purchasers"), the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such specified principal amount of
additional Securities to or upon the written order of the Company signed as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence.  Such Officers' Certificate must be received by the Trustee at least two full Business Days prior to the
proposed date for delivery of such additional Securities, but, in any case, not later than February 27, 2002.  The
aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed $175,000,000 except as provided in
Section 2.07.

         Upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of
the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend to be issued to the
transferee when sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

         The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities.  An
authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture
to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights
as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate.

         The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of
$1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.  The Securities shall bear interest at the rate,
calculated and paid, as provided in the form of Security set forth in Exhibit A.

Section 2.03.  Registrar, Paying Agent And Conversion Agent.

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying
Agent") and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion ("Conversion Agent").  The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint or
change one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents
without notice and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf.  The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar;
the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent; the term "Conversion Agent" includes any additional
conversion agent.

         The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Company shall notify
the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to maintain a
Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

         The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.

Section 2.04.  Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.

         Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all moneys held by the
Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any
default by the Company in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further
liability for the money.  If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund
all money held by it as Paying Agent.

Section 2.05.  Securityholder Lists.

         The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to it of the names and addresses of Holders.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee on or before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a
list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.06.  Transfer And Exchange.

         Where Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange
them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transaction are met.  To permit registrations of transfer
and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request.
The Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required (a) to issue or authenticate, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 10 Business Days before
the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected for redemption under Section 3.03 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part.

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer, exchange or conversion 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 transfer, registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06, 9.05 or 10.02 not involving any transfer.

Section 2.07.  Replacement Securities.

         If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee's
requirements are met and, in the case of a mutilated Security, such mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Trustee.  In the case of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities, if required by the Trustee or the Company,
an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both to protect the Company,
the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced.  The Company or the
Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.

         In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security 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 when due.

         Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

Section 2.08.  Outstanding Securities.

         Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those
converted, those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not
outstanding.  A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates holds the Security.

         If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

         If the Paying Agent (other than the Company) holds on a redemption date or the Maturity Date money
sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date, such Securities shall be deemed to
be no longer outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

Section 2.09.  Securities Held By The Company Or An Affiliate.

         In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred
in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or a subsidiary or an Affiliate shall be
disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Trust Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

Section 2.10.  Temporary Securities.

         Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Securities.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities
but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary
Securities.

Section 2.11.  Cancellation.

         The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar, Paying
Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment or conversion.  The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and the Trustee shall dispose of such cancelled Securities
in its customary manner.  The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article Ten.

Section 2.12.  Defaulted Interest.

         If and to the extent the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the
defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law,
interest payable on the defaulted interest.  It may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date.  The Company shall fix such record date and payment date.  At least 15 days before a
special record date, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice that states the record date, payment date and amount
of interest to be paid.

Section 2.13.  Cusip Numbers.

         The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more "CUSIP" numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use
the CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no
representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers
printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Securities.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.

Section 2.14.  Deposit Of Moneys.

         Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each interest payment date, redemption date, Repurchase Date,
Put Date and the Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available
funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such interest payment date, redemption date, Repurchase
Date, Put Date and the Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit
payment to the Holders on such interest payment date, maturity date, redemption date and Repurchase Date, as the
case may be.

Section 2.15.  Book-entry Provisions For Global Securities.

(a)      The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of
such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear the legend for
Global Securities as set forth in Exhibit B(II).

         Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Participants") shall have no rights under this Indenture
with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or
under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as
between the Depositary and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights
of a Holder of any Security.

(b)      Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary,
its successors or their respective nominees.  In addition, permanent certificated Securities in registered form, in
the form set forth in Exhibit A (the "Physical Securities"), shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Securities if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for any Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by
the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Securities.

(c)      In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Security to
beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to be
issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of such Global
Security in an amount equal to the aggregate initial aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one
or more Physical Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security so transferred.

(d)      In connection with the transfer of a Global Security in its entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15, such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company
authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial
interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized
denominations.

(e)      Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global
Security pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15 shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16,
bear the Private Placement Legend.

(f)      The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including
Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled
to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

Section 2.16.  Special Transfer Provisions.

(a)      Transfers to QIBs.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed
transfer of a Restricted Security to a QIB:

(i)      the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Restricted Security, whether or not such Security bears
         the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue
         Date for such Security; provided, however, that the transferor shall represent to the Registrar that, to
         the transferor's knowledge, neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial
         interest in such Security, or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of the
         Issue Date for such Security or (y) such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked
         the box provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the
         Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a
         transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise
         advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own account or
         an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account
         is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on
         Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested
         pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the
         transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration
         provided by Rule 144A; and

(ii)     if the proposed transferee is a Participant and the Securities to be transferred consist of Physical
         Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by
         the Registrar of written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary's and Registrar's procedures,
         the Registrar shall register the transfer and reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in
         the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of Physical
         Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Security so transferred.

(b)      Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(c)      Private Placement Legend.  Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend.  Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the
Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private
Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue Date for such
Security (provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial
interest in such Security, or portion thereof, at any time prior to or on the second anniversary of the Issue Date
for such Security), (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to
maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (iii) such Security has been sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Holder selling such Securities has delivered to
the Registrar or co-Registrar a notice in the form of Exhibit D hereto.  Upon the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a
notice of effectiveness, a Security or Securities, an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02 and an
Opinion of Counsel in the form of Exhibit E hereto and, if required by the Depositary, the Company shall deliver to
the Depositary a letter of representations in a form reasonably acceptable to the Depositary.

(d)      General.  By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a
Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Private
Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture.

         The Registrar shall retain, in accordance with its customary procedures, copies of all letters, notices and
other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.16.  The Company shall have the
right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time
upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

(e)      Transfers of Securities Held by Affiliates.  Any certificate (i) evidencing a Security that has been
transferred to an Affiliate of the Company within two years after the Issue Date for such Security, as evidenced by
a notation on the Assignment Form for such transfer or in the representation letter delivered in respect thereof or
(ii) evidencing a Security that has been acquired from an Affiliate (other than by an Affiliate) in a transaction or
a chain of transactions not involving any public offering, shall, until two years after the last date on which
either the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was an owner of such Security, in each case, bear the Private
Placement Legend, unless otherwise agreed by the Company (with written notice thereof to the Trustee).

Section 2.17.  Restrictive Legends.

         Each Global Security and Physical Security that constitutes a Restricted Security shall bear the private
placement legend (the "Private Placement Legend") as set forth in Exhibit B(I) on the face thereof until after the
second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date for such Securities and the last date on which the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Security (or any predecessor security) (or such shorter period of
time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer
period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof).

Article 3
                                                Redemption; Repurchase

Section 3.01.  Notices To Trustee.

         If the Company wants to redeem Securities pursuant to paragraph 6 of the Securities, it shall notify the
Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee) of the redemption date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.  If the Company
wants to credit against any such redemption Securities it has not previously delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation (other than Securities repurchased pursuant to Section 3.07), it shall deliver the Securities with the
notice.

Section 3.02.  Selection Of Securities To Be Redeemed.

         If less than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed on either a pro rata basis or by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and equitable.
The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities outstanding not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee
may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000
principal amount.  Securities and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 principal amount or
integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for
redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

         The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption.  Also,
the Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 10 days before selecting Securities to be
redeemed.

Section 3.03.  Notice Of Redemption.

         At least 20 days, but not more than 60 days, before a redemption date, the Company shall mail by
first-class mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.

         The notice shall identify the Securities and the aggregate principal amount thereof to be redeemed and
shall state:

(1)      the redemption date;

(2)      the redemption price, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be paid on the Securities called
         for redemption;

(3)      the then current conversion rate;

(4)      the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(5)      the date on which the right to convert the principal of the Securities called for redemption will terminate
         and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion;

(6)      that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the requirements in Article Ten;

(7)      that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
         price;
(8)      that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and

(9)      the CUSIP number of the Securities.

         The date on which the right to convert the principal of the Securities called for redemption will terminate
shall be at the close of business on the date prior to the redemption date, or, if the day before the redemption
date is a Legal Holiday, the close of business on the next preceding day which is not a Legal Holiday.

         At the Company's request (which request shall be furnished to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the
redemption date (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee)), the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense; provided that the form and content of such notice
shall be prepared by the Company.

Section 3.04.  Effect Of Notice Of Redemption.

         Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption,
and, on and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price), such
Securities shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the
redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date, unless the redemption date is an interest payment
date, in which case the accrued interest will be paid in the ordinary course.

Section 3.05.  Deposit Of Redemption Price.

         On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.14
money in funds immediately available on the redemption date sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.  The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as
practicable, any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities.

Section 3.06.  Securities Redeemed In Part.

         Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.

         If a portion of a Holder's Securities is selected for partial redemption and that Holder converts a portion
of that Holder's Securities, the converted portion shall be deemed (as far as may be) to be the portion selected for
redemption.

Section 3.07.  Repurchase At Option Of Holder.

(a)      Repurchase upon a Repurchase Event.  (i) If there shall occur a Repurchase Event, then each Holder shall
have the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder's Securities, or
any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof), on the date (the "Repurchase
Date") that is thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such Repurchase Event.  Such repurchase shall be made in
cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Securities such Holder elects to require the Company to
repurchase, together with accrued interest, if any, to but excluding the Repurchase Date (the "Repurchase Price")
(or, at the option of the Company, by delivery of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.07(j)); provided, however, that if such Repurchase Date is an interest payment date, then the interest payable on
such date shall be paid to the holder of record of the Security on the preceding record date for the payment of
interest.  No Securities may be repurchased at the option of Holders upon a Repurchase Event if there has occurred
and is continuing an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to
such Securities on the Repurchase Date.

(ii)     Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the outstanding Securities, on or
         before the tenth (10th) Business Day after the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, the Company or, at the
         written request of the Company, the Trustee shall mail to all holders of record of the Securities a notice
         (the "Company Notice") in the form prepared by the Company of the occurrence of the Repurchase Event and of
         the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof.  The Company shall also deliver a copy
         of such Company Notice to the Trustee.  The Company Notice shall contain the following information:

(A)      the Repurchase Date;

(B)      the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised;

(C)      the last date by which the election to require repurchase, if submitted, must be revoked;

(D)      the Repurchase Price and whether the Repurchase Price shall be payable in cash or Common Stock and, if
                   payable in Common Stock, the method of calculating the amount of the Common Stock to be delivered
                   upon the repurchase as provided in Section 3.07(k);

(E)      a description of the procedure that a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right;

(F)      the Conversion Price then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the
                   Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where Securities may be
                   surrendered for conversion; and

(G)      the CUSIP numbers of the Securities.

         No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder's right to
         exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities.

         If any of the foregoing provisions are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

(iii)    To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the close of business on
         the Business Day preceding the Repurchase Date (i) written notice to the Company (or agent designated by
         the Company for such purpose) of the Holder's exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name
         of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased, a statement that an election to
         exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and, in the event that the Repurchase Price shall be
         paid in shares of Common Stock, the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates
         for shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase
         right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company.  Election of repurchase by a Holder
         shall be revocable at any time prior to, but excluding, the third Business Day before the Repurchase Date
         or the Put Date, as applicable, by delivering written notice to that effect to the Trustee prior to the
         close of business on the fourth Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date or the Put Date, as applicable.

(b)      Repurchase on the Put Date.  Securities shall be purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 9 of the
Securities at the option of the Holder on February 15, 2007 (the "Put Date"), at a purchase price of 100% of the
principal amount of Securities that such Holder elects to require the Company to repurchase, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest, up to but excluding the Put Date (the "Put Price").  Repurchases of Securities hereunder shall be
made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i)      delivery to the Trustee by the Holder of a written notice of purchase (a "Put Notice") during the period
         beginning at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 30 days prior to the Put Date until
         the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to such Put Date stating:

(A)      the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate
                   Depositary procedures if certificated Securities have not been issued,

(B)      the portion of the principal amount of the Security that the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which
                   portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000, and

(C)      that such Security shall be purchased by the Company as of the Put Date pursuant to the terms and
                   conditions specified in paragraph 9 of the Securities and in this Indenture; and

(ii)     book-entry transfer or delivery of such Security to the Trustee at any time after delivery of the Put
         Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Trustee, such delivery being a
         condition to receipt by the Holder of the Put Price therefor; provided, however, that such Put Price shall
         be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.07(b) only if the Security so delivered to the Trustee shall conform
         in all respects to the description thereof in the Put Notice.

         The Company shall provide notice to all record holders not less than 30 days prior to the Put Date of the
procedures required for the repurchase of the Securities on the Put Date.

         Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.07 shall be
consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the
Put Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Security.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee the Put Notice
contemplated by this Section 3.07(b) shall have the right to withdraw such Put Notice at any time up to, but
excluding, the third Business Day prior to the Put Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee
in accordance with Section 3.08.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Put Notice or written notice of
withdrawal thereof.

(c)      If the Company fails to repurchase on the Repurchase Date or the Put Date, as applicable, any Securities
(or portions thereof) as to which a repurchase right has been properly exercised, then the principal of such
Securities shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date or
the Put Date, as applicable, at the rate borne by the Securities and each such Security shall be convertible into
Common Stock in accordance with this Indenture until the principal of such Security shall have been paid or duly
provided for.

(d)      Any Security that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee duly endorsed for
transfer to the Company and accompanied by appropriate evidence of genuineness and authority satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee 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 Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered.

(e)      On or prior to the Repurchase Date or the Put Date, as applicable, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent, pursuant to Section 2.14, the Repurchase Price or the Put Price, as applicable, in
cash for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date or the Put Date, as applicable; provided that if payment is to
be made in cash and such cash payment is made on the Repurchase Date or the Put Date, as applicable, it must be
received by the Trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date;
provided, further, that in the event of a repurchase upon a Repurchase Event, if the Repurchase Price is to be paid
in shares of Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock are to be paid as promptly after the Repurchase Date as
practicable.

(f)      All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.11.

(g)      In the event of a repurchase upon a Repurchase Event, any issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of
the Repurchase Price shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Repurchase Date and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be deemed to have become on the Repurchase Date the holder
or holders of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any surrender for repurchase on a
date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person or Persons in whose
name or names the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders
thereof for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books
are open.  No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions on any Common Stock issued upon
repurchase of any Security declared prior to the Repurchase Date.

(h)      No fractions of shares shall be issued upon repurchase of Securities, resulting from a Repurchase Event.
If more than one Security shall be repurchased from the same Holder and the Repurchase Price shall be payable in
shares of Common Stock, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so repurchased.  Instead of any fractional share of
Common Stock otherwise issuable on the repurchase of any Security or Securities, the Company will deliver to the
applicable Holder its check for the current market value of such fractional share.  The current market value of a
fraction of a share is determined by multiplying the current market price of a full share by the fraction, and
rounding the result to the nearest cent.  For purposes of this Section, the current market price of a share of
Common Stock is the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

(i)      Any issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock on repurchase of Securities shall be
made without charge to the Holder of Securities being repurchased for such certificates or for any tax or duty in
respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of (i) income of the
Holder or (ii) any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock in a
name other than that of the Holder of the Securities being repurchased, and no such issuance or delivery shall be
made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such
tax or duty or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax or duty has been paid.

(j)      In the event of a repurchase resulting from a Repurchase Event, the Company may elect to pay the Repurchase
Price by delivery of shares of Common Stock if and only if the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(i)      the shares of Common Stock deliverable in payment of the Repurchase Price shall have a fair market value as
         of the Repurchase Date of not less than the Repurchase Price.  For purposes of this Section 3.07, the fair
         market value of shares of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to 95% of the
         average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately
         preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date;

(ii)     such shares have been registered under the Securities Act or are freely transferable without such
         registration;

(iii)    the issuance of such Common Stock does not require registration with or approval of any governmental
         authority under any state law or any other federal law, which registration or approval has not been made or
         obtained;

(iv)     such shares have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or listing on a national
         securities exchange; and

(v)      such shares will be issued out of the Company's authorized but unissued stock and, upon issuance, will be
         duly and validly and fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights.

(k)      For purposes of this Section 3.07:

(i)      the term "beneficial owner" shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5, as in effect on
         the date of the original execution of this Indenture, promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act;

(ii)     the term "Person" or "group" shall include any syndicate or group which would be deemed to be a "person"
         under Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

(iii)    the term "Repurchase Event" means a Change in Control defined as follows:

                           A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred when (i) any "person" or "group" is
                  or becomes the "beneficial owner" of shares representing more than 50% of the combined voting power
                  of the then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in elections of directors of the
                  Company (the "Voting Stock"); (ii) there shall occur the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;
                  or (iii) the Company consolidates with or merges into any other Person or any other Person merges
                  into the Company or conveys, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to any
                  Person other than a subsidiary or subsidiaries, and in the case of any such transaction, the
                  outstanding Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged into other assets or securities as
                  a result, unless the shareholders of the Company immediately before such transaction own, directly
                  or indirectly immediately following such transaction, more than 50% of the combined voting power of
                  the outstanding voting securities of the Person resulting from such transaction or the transferee
                  Person; provided that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if either (x) the
                  Closing Price of the Common Stock for any five (5) Trading Days (1) in the case of a Change in
                  Control described in clause (i) above, during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after the later
                  of the Change in Control or the public announcement of the Change in Control or (2) in the case of
                  a Change of Control described in clause (ii) or (iii) above, during the ten (10) Trading Days
                  immediately preceding the Change in Control, in each such case, is at least equal to 105% of the
                  Conversion Price in effect on the date on which the Change in Control occurs or (y) in the case of
                  a merger or consolidation otherwise constituting a Change in Control, all of the consideration
                  (excluding cash payments for fractional shares) in such merger or consolidation constituting the
                  Change in Control consists of common stock traded on a United States national securities exchange
                  or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or
                  exchanged in connection with such Change in Control) and as a result of such transaction or
                  transactions the Securities become convertible solely into such common stock.

Section 3.08.  Effect Of Repurchase Notice Or Put Notice.

         Upon receipt by the Trustee of the Repurchase Notice or Put Notice specified in Section 3.07(a) or (b), the
Holder of the Security in respect of which such Repurchase Notice or Put Notice was given shall (unless such notice
is validly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price or the Put Price with respect to
such Security.  Such Repurchase Price or Put Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds and/or
securities by the Trustee, promptly following the later of (x) the Repurchase Date or the Put Date, as applicable,
with respect to such Security (provided the Holder has satisfied the relevant conditions in Section 3.07 and (y) the
time of delivery of such Security to the Trustee by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.07.
Securities in respect of which a Repurchase Notice or Put Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be
converted pursuant to Article Ten hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Notice or Put
Notice unless such Repurchase Notice or Put Notice has first been validly withdrawn.

         A Repurchase Notice or Put Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to
the office of the Trustee in accordance with the Repurchase Notice or Put Notice at any time prior to but excluding
the third Business Day before the Repurchase Date or Put Date, as applicable, specifying:

(1)      the certificate number, if any, of the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being
         submitted, or the appropriate Depositary procedures if certificated Securities have not been issued,

(2)      the principal amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(3)      the principal amount, if any, of such Security which remains subject to the original Repurchase Notice or
         Put Notice and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

         A written notice of withdrawal of a Repurchase Notice or Put Notice may be in the form set forth in the
preceding paragraph.

         The Company may, in its sole and complete discretion, accept a written notice of withdrawal on or after the
third Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date or Put Date, as applicable.  The decision of the Company to accept
or reject such a withdrawal notice shall be conclusive and binding on the Holder proposing to make the withdrawal.

         There shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to Section 3.07 if there has occurred and is
continuing an Event of Default on the Repurchase Date or Put Date (other than a default in the payment of the
Repurchase Price or Put Price with respect to such Securities or a default that is cured by the repurchase). The
Trustee will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which a Repurchase
Notice or Put Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance
of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price or Put Price with respect to
such Securities or a default that is cured by the repurchase) in which case, upon such return, the Repurchase Notice
or Put Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

                                                      Covenants

Section 4.01.  Payment Of Securities.

         The Company shall pay the principal amount, premium, if any, of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities.  The principal, premium, if any, and any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent holds (or, if the
Company is acting as Paying Agent, if the Company has segregated and holds in trust in accordance with Section 2.04)
on that date money sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

         The Company shall pay interest on any overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities.  The Company

law.

Section 4.02.  Maintenance Of Office Or Agency.

         Except as provided in the last sentence hereof, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture
may be served.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Company determines not to maintain any such required office
or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities
may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
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 the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes.  The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

         The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as an agency of the Company in
accordance with Section 2.03, and the parties acknowledge that such designation shall be sufficient for purposes of
this Section 4.02.

         The Company also shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a).

Section 4.03.  Reports to Holders.

(a)      The Company (at its own expense) will deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after the filing of the same
with the SEC, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if
any, the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(b)      Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly provide the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) to any Holder that
so requests.

(c)      In addition, if and when this Indenture becomes subject to the TIA, the Company will file a copy of all
such information with the SEC for public availability (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make
such information available to investors who request it in writing.  The Company will also comply with the other
provisions of TIA §314(a).

         Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

Section 4.04.  Compliance Certificate.

         The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company
an Officers' Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default by the Company
in performing any of its obligations under this Indenture or the Securities.  If they do know of any such Default or
Event of Default, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default and its status.

Section 4.05.  Stay, Extension And Usury Laws.

         The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury 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, by resort to any such law, 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 4.06.  Corporate Existence.

         Subject to Article Five, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate existence of each subsidiary in accordance with
the respective organizational documents of each subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and
franchises of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate existence of any subsidiary, if in the judgment of
the Company, (i) such preservation or existence is not material to the conduct of business of the Company and (ii)
the loss of such right, license or franchise or the dissolution of such subsidiary does not have a material adverse
impact on the Holders.

Section 4.07.  Notice Of Default.

         In the event that any Default under Section 6.01 hereof shall occur the Company will give prompt written
notice of such Default to the Trustee.

Article 5
                                       Consolidation, Merger And Sale Of Assets

Section 5.01.  When Company May Merge, Etc.

         The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its
assets to, another Person unless such other Person is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust

Columbia and such Person assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company under the Securities,
this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, and immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

         The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers'
Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and such
supplemental indenture will, upon consummation of the proposed transaction, comply with this Indenture.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of
its properties and assets to the Company or any other subsidiary or subsidiaries.

Section 5.02.  Successor Substituted.

         Upon any consolidation or merger or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company
is merged or to which such transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, and shall assume every duty and obligation of, the Company under this Indenture with the
same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company herein.  When the successor corporation
assumes all obligations of the Company hereunder, all obligations of the predecessor corporation shall terminate.

Article 6
                                                Defaults And Remedies

Section 6.01.  Events Of Default.

         An "Event of Default" occurs if:

(a)      the Company fails to pay the principal of or any premium on the Securities when due (whether or not
prohibited by the provisions set forth in Article Twelve hereof);

(b)      the Company fails to pay any interest on the Securities when due, if such failure continues for 30 days
(whether or not prohibited by the provisions set forth in Article Twelve hereof);

(c)      the Company fails to perform any other covenant in this Indenture for the period and after the notice
specified in the last paragraph of this Section 6.01;

(d)      the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i)      commences a voluntary case,

(ii)     consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(iii)    consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(iv)     makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(e)      a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i)      is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case,

(ii)     appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property, or

(iii)    orders the liquidation of the Company,

         and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days; or

(f)      the Company defaults with respect to any other indebtedness, which default results in the acceleration of
indebtedness in an amount in excess of $15,000,000 and continuance of that default for 30 days.

         The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of
debtors.  The term "Custodian" means any receiver trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any
Bankruptcy Law.

         A default under clause (c) is not an Event of Default until the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee of the default and the
Company does not cure the default within 60 days after receipt of the notice of such default.  The notice must
specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."  If the Holders
of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities request the Trustee to give such notice on their
behalf, the Trustee shall do so.  When a default is cured, it ceases.

Section 6.02.  Acceleration.

         If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e)) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount including any
accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities due and payable.  If an Event of Default under clause Section 6.01(d)
or (e) occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities will automatically become due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

         The Company shall promptly notify holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness if payment of the Securities is
accelerated because of an Event of Default.

         After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree of the money due in respect of the
Securities has been obtained, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if
(i) all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal of and interest on the Securities which
has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration) have been cured or waived, (ii) the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree and (iii) the Company shall have paid all amounts due pursuant to Section 7.07.

Section 6.03.  Other Remedies.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities
or this Indenture.

         The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce
any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04.  Waiver Of Past Defaults.

         Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its
consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security, a
failure by the Company to convert any Securities into Common Stock or any Default or Event of Default in respect of
any provision of this Indenture or the Securities that, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of the Holder of each Security affected.  When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is cured
and ceases.

Section 6.05.  Control By Majority.

         The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may 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 it.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

Section 6.06.  Limitation On Suits.

         Except as provided in Section 6.07, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities only if:

(1)      the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2)      the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written
         request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)      such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
         liability or expense;

(4)      the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
         indemnity; and

(5)      during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
         outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

         A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or
priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07.  Rights Of Holders To Receive Payment Or Convert.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, (i) the right of any Holder to receive payment of
the principal of and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of the Holder and (ii) the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of the
right to convert the Security shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08.  Collection Suit By Trustee.

         If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of
principal and interest remaining unpaid and amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07

Section 6.09.  Trustee May File Proofs Of Claim.

         The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company, its creditors or its property.

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

Section 6.10.  Priorities.

         If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following
order:

         First:  to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

         Second:  to holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent required by Article Twelve;

         Third:  to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively, and

         Fourth:  to the Company.

         The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment by it to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11.  Undertaking For Costs.

         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 or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any
party litigant in the suit other than the Trustee of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party
litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant.  This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder or group of Holders of
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder
for the enforcement or the payment of the principal or interest on any Securities on or after the respective due
dates for such Securities.

Section 7.01.  Duties Of Trustee.

(a)      If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent
person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(b)      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)      the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others

         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 examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform
         to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical
         calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c)      The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Company and

reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(i)      The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the

(2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or by any
Holder.

(j)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur

or powers.

(k)      The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without
limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its
capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.03.  Individual Rights Of Trustee.

         The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may
otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Any Agent may do the same with like rights.  The Trustee, however, must comply with 7.10 and 7.11

Section 7.04.  Trustee's Disclaimer.

         The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities; it
shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities; and it shall not be responsible
for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05.  Notice Of Defaults.

         If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer of
the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after
it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived.  Except in the case of a Default or
Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Security, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Holders.

Section 7.06.  Reports By Trustee To Holders.

         Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2002, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, to the
extent required by TIA §313(c), a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a).  In
such event, the Trustee also shall comply with TIA & 313(b).

         A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed by the
Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.  The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

Section 7.07.  Compensation And Indemnity.

         The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be
agreed upon in writing from time to time.  The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket
expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

         The Company shall fully indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability or
expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
and duties hereunder.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.  The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification.  The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss or liability determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been
caused by the Trustee's own negligence or bad faith.

         To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to
the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Securities.

         The indemnity obligations of the Company with respect to the Trustee provided for in this Section 7.07
shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

         When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d)
or (e) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar law.

Section 7.08.  Replacement Of Trustee.

         A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only
upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's consent.
The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(1)      the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2)      the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(3)      a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4)      the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

         If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may appoint a successor
Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities may petition at the expense of the company any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

         If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee shall upon payment of all amounts due it
hereunder promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07.

         If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder.

         The Trustee shall comply with TIAss.311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIAss. 311(b).  A
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIAss. 311(a) to the extent indicated.

Article 8
                                        Satisfaction And Discharge; Defeasance

Section 8.01.  Termination Of Company's Obligations.

         Upon obtaining the consent of a majority of the holders of Senior Indebtedness under each of the Credit
Agreement, Synthetic Lease and Term Facility or following the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness owed under
the Credit Agreement, Synthetic Lease and Term Facility, the Company may terminate its substantive obligations in
respect of the Securities if the Securities mature within one (1) year, or all of them are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving notice of redemption, by
delivering all outstanding Securities to the Trustee for cancellation and paying all sums payable by it on account
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, the
Company may terminate its obligations under Sections 3.07, 4.03 and 4.06 (other than with respect to the corporate
existence of the Company), and no Default or Event of Default under Section 6.01(c) shall thereafter apply, by (i)
depositing with the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement, money or direct non-callable
obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States
is pledged ("U. S.  Government Obligations") sufficient (without reinvestment), in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities at maturity or an earlier
redemption, (ii) delivering to the Trustee either an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling directed to the Trustee from the
Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and termination of obligations and (iii) delivering to
the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating compliance with all conditions precedent
provided for herein.  In addition, the Company may, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would arise therefrom (or, with respect to a Default or Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d),
occurs at any time on or prior to the 91st calendar day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that
this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 91st day)), terminate all of its substantive
obligations in respect of the Securities (including its obligations to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities) by (i) depositing with the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement,
money or United States Government Obligations sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Securities at maturity or on earlier redemption, (ii) delivering to the Trustee either a
ruling directed to the Trustee from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders of the Securities
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and termination
of obligations or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee based upon such a ruling or based on a change in
the applicable Federal tax law since the date of this Indenture to such effect and (iii) delivering to the Trustee
an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating compliance with all conditions precedent provided
for herein.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Company's obligations in Article Ten and Sections 2.02, 2.03,
2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.10, 2.12, 2.13 and 4.01 (but not with respect to termination of substantive obligations
pursuant to the third sentence of the foregoing paragraph), 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.03 and 8.04 shall survive until the
Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter the Company's obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.03 and 8.04 shall
survive such satisfaction and discharge.

         After such delivery or irrevocable deposit and delivery of an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel,
the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's obligations under the
Securities and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

         The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed
against the United States Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 8.01 or the principal and
interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of
the Holders of outstanding Securities.

Section 8.02.  Application Of Trust Money.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, the Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S.
Government obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities.  Money and securities so held in trust are not
subject to the subordination provisions of Article Twelve.

Section 8.03.  Repayment To Company.

         The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money or
securities held by them at any time.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any
money held by them for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest that remains unclaimed for two
years; 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 mailed to each Holder, notice stating that such money remains and
that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.  After payment to the Company, Holders
entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another Person.

Section 8.04.  Reinstatement.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or 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 and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that to the extent the Company makes any
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment
from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Article 9
                                                      Amendments

Section 9.01.  Without Consent Of Holders.

         The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, may modify, amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Securities without notice to or the consent of any Holder:

(a)      to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(b)      to comply with Section 5.01 and 10.07;

(c)      to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated Securities; or

(d)      to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

Section 9.02.  With Consent Of Holders.

         The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, may modify, amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Securities without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities.  Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of
this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Holder.  However, without the consent of each Holder
affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(a)      change the stated maturity of the Securities;

(b)      reduce the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities;

(c)      change the place of payment from New York, New York or the Corporate Trust Office or change the currency in
which the Securities are payable;

(d)      make any change that adversely affects the right to require the Company to repurchase Securities either on
a Repurchase Date (as a result of a Repurchase Event) or on the Put Date;

(e)      waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security;

(f)      make any change in Section 6.04, Section 6.07 or this Section 9.02;

(g)      modify the provisions of Article Twelve in a materially adverse manner to the Holders; or

(h)      make any change that adversely affects the right to convert any Security.

         Furthermore, an amendment under this Article Nine may not make any change that adversely affects the rights
of any holder of Senior Indebtedness under Article Twelve unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness consent to
such change pursuant to the terms governing such Senior Indebtedness.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof.

         Promptly after an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a
notice briefly describing the amendment.

Section 9.03.  Compliance With Trust Indenture Act.

         Every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then
in effect.

Section 9.04.  Revocation And Effect Of Consents.

         Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security.  However, any
such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee
receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.  An
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

         After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it shall bind
every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (7) of Section 9.02. In that case the
amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and, provided that
notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver is reflected on a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder's Security, every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

Section 9.05.  Notation On Or Exchange Of Securities.

         If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder
of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security as
directed and prepared by the Company about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the
Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new
Security that reflects the changed terms.

Section 9.06.  Trustee Protected.

         The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article that affects the Trustee's rights, duties or obligations.  The Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and may conclusively rely upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04, an Opinion of
Counsel and an Officers' Certificate that any supplemental indenture, modification, amendment or waiver complies
with the Indenture.

Article 10
                                                      Conversion

Section 10.01.  Conversion Privilege; Restrictive Legends.

         A Holder of a Security may convert the principal of such Security into Common Stock at any time during the
period stated in paragraph 10 of the Securities.  The number of shares issuable upon conversion of a Security is
determined as follows:  divide each $1,000 of the principal amount to be converted by the Conversion Price in effect
on the conversion date and round the result to the nearest 1/100th of a share.  The Conversion Price is subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 10.06.

         A Holder may convert a portion of the principal of such Security if the portion is at least $1,000
principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of it.

         Any shares issued upon conversion of a Security shall bear the Private Placement Legend set forth in
Exhibit B(I) until after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date for such Security and the last date on
which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such shares or the Security (or any predecessor
security) from which such shares were converted (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder or such longer period of time as may be required under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof).

Section 10.02.  Conversion Procedure.

         To convert a Security a Holder must satisfy the requirements in paragraph 9 of the Securities.  The date on
which the Holder satisfies all those requirements is the conversion date.  As soon as practicable, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder through the Conversion Agent a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion and a check in lieu of any fractional share.  The Person in whose name the certificate
is registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on and after the conversion date.

         Except as described below, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on, or liquidated
damages with respect to, a converted Security or for dividends on any Common Stock issued on conversion.  If any
Security is converted during the period from but excluding, a record date for the payment of interest to, but
excluding, the next succeeding interest payment date, unless such Security has been called for redemption on a
redemption date between such dates, such Security must be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable to the
registered Holder on such interest payment date on the principal amount so converted.  A Security converted on an
interest payment date need not be accompanied by any payment, and the interest on the principal amount of the
Security being converted will be paid on such interest payment date to the registered Holder of such Security on the
applicable record date.

         If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of full shares issuable upon the
conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the Securities converted.

         Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new
Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

         If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a Legal Holiday in a place where a Conversion Agent
is located, the Security may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal
Holiday.

Section 10.03.  Fractional Shares.

         The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and instead will
deliver a cash adjustment in lieu of the fractional share based upon the current market value of the Common Stock.
The current market value of a fraction of a share is determined by multiplying the current market price of a full
share by the fraction, and rounding the result to the nearest cent.  For purposes of this Section, the current
market price of a share of Common Stock is the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the conversion date.

Section 10.04.  Taxes On Conversion.

         If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion.  However, the Holder shall pay any such
tax which is due because the shares are issued in a name other than the Holder's name.

Section 10.05.  Company To Provide Stock.

         The Company shall reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its Common Stock held in
treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all of the Securities, including such greater
number of shares of Common Stock into which such Securities shall be convertible into as a result of a Conversion
Price adjustment contemplated by Section 10.06 hereof.

         All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.

         The Company will endeavor to comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and will endeavor to list such shares on each national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.

Section 10.06.  Adjustment Of Conversion Price.

         The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a)      In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date
following the Record Date with respect to shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall
be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination and the
denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or
other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
following the Record Date.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.06(a) is
declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b)      In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market
Price on the Record Date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus
the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or
purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of
Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase.  Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such rights or warrants.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or
warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to
the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or
warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  In the
event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed.  In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the
holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in
determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any
consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(c)      In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be split or subdivided into a greater number of shares
of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which
such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at
the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be
proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d)      In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares
of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.06(a)
applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights
or warrants referred to in Section 10.06(b), (2) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and (3) any
capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section
10.07 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 10.06(d) called the "Subject Securities"), unless the
Company elects to reserve such Subject Securities for distribution to the Holders upon conversion of the Securities
so that any such Holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Subject Securities which such Holder would have
received if such Holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date for such
distribution of the Subject Securities, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the
same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value on such date of the portion of the Subject
Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market
Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value of the portion of the Subject
Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market
Price on the Record Date, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of Subject
Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately
prior to such Record Date.  In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.

         For purposes of this Section 10.06(d), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of
Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock
(either initially or under certain circumstances) that are (i) deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common
Stock; (ii) not exercisable; and (iii) issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, until the occurrence
of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event") shall be deemed not to have been distributed and no adjustment to
the Conversion Price with respect thereto shall be made until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event.  If any
such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall
become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder
to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different
purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date
with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without
exercise by the holder thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights
or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect
thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.06(d), (1) in the case of any
such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof,
the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such
distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share
redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants
(assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of
such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or
been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never
been issued.

         No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this Section 10.06(d) in respect of rights
or warrants distributed or deemed distributed on any Trigger Event to the extent that such rights or warrants are
actually distributed, or reserved by the Company for distribution to holders of Securities upon conversion by such
holders of Securities to Common Stock.

         For purposes of this Section 10.06(d) and Sections 10.06(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which
this Section 10.06(d) is otherwise applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or
distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants (other than such
shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants) (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 10.06(d)
with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or
distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction
required by Sections 10.06(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A)
the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination"
and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.06(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section
10.06(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed
"outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section
10.06(a).

(e)      In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash
(excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 10.07 applies or as part of
a distribution referred to in Section 10.06(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the
aggregate amount of all other such all-cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock within the twelve (12)
months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this
Section 10.06(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value of consideration
payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock
concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which
no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.06(f) has been made (such aggregate amount, the "Common Dividend Amount"),
exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the "Market Capitalization"), then, and in each such
case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on
the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the amount by which the Common Dividend Amount exceeds
10% of the Market Capitalization and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the
event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the
Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision
shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion
thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such holder converted such Security (or portion
thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or
made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(f)      In case a tender offer made by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock
shall expire and such tender offer shall require the payment to holders of Common Stock of an aggregate
consideration that together with

(i)      the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any other
         tender offers by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring
         within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no
         adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06(f) has been made, and

(ii)     the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made within
         twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment
         pursuant to Section 10.06(e) has been made,

         exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the time of expiration of such tender offer
times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior
to the opening of business on the day after the expiration of such tender offer, the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of the expiration of such tender offer by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of expiration of the tender offer
multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the date of expiration
of the tender offer and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration
payable for all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the date of expiration of the tender
offer and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding less all shares validly tendered and
not withdrawn as of the date of expiration of the tender offer and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on
the Trading Day next succeeding the date of expiration of the tender offer, such reduction (if any) to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date of expiration of the tender
offer.  In the event the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all
such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made.  If the application of this Section 10.06(f) to any tender
offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under
this Section 10.06(f).

(g)      For purposes of this Section 10.06, the following terms have the meanings indicated:

(i)       "Closing Price" with respect to any securities on any day shall mean the closing sale price regular way on
         such day or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and
         asked prices, regular way, in each case on the Nasdaq National Market or New York Stock Exchange, as
         applicable, or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on such Nasdaq National Market or New
         York Stock Exchange, on the principal national security exchange or quotation system on which such security
         is quoted or listed or admitted to trading, or, if not quoted or listed or admitted to trading on any
         national securities exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of such
         security on the over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National Quotation Bureau
         Incorporated, or a similar generally accepted reporting service, or if not so available, in such manner as
         furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors
         for that purpose, or a price determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall
         be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution.

(ii)      "Current Market Price" shall mean the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten
         (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date for which a Current Market Price is required;
         provided, however, that:

(A)      if the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring
                   such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section
                   10.06(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days, then the
                   Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted
                   by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so
                   required to be adjusted as a result of such other event,

(B)      if the "ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that
                   requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10.06(a), (b), (c), (d), (e),
                   (f) or (g) occurs on or after the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such
                   computation and prior to the day in question, then the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and
                   after the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by
                   the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a
                   result of such other event, and

(C)      if the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in
                   question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this
                   proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by
                   adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value of the evidences of indebtedness,
                   shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of
                   the close of business on the day before such "ex" date.

         For purposes of any computation under Sections 10.06(f) or (g), the Current Market Price of the Common
Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for such
day and the next two succeeding Trading Days; provided, however, that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the
tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section
10.06(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) occurs on or after the date of expiration of the tender or exchange offer
requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction
by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event.

         For purposes of this definition, the term "ex" date, (1) when used with respect to any issuance or
distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the
relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or
distribution, (2) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the
first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which
such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (3) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the
Expiration Time of such offer.

(iii)     "fair market value" shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm's
         length transaction determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
         conclusive and described in a Board Resolution.

(iv)      "Record Date" shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in
         which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in
         which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of
         cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive
         such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by
         statute, contract or otherwise).

(v)       "Trading Day" shall mean (x) if the applicable security is listed or admitted for trading on the New York
         Stock Exchange or another national security exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or such
         other national security exchange, as the case may be, is open for business, (y) if the applicable security
         is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, a day on which trades may be made thereon or (z) if the applicable
         security is not so listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day
         on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive
         order to close.

(h)      The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Sections
10.06(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any
income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution
of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

         To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by
any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days and the reduction is irrevocable during
the period.  Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to
the Holder of each Security at his last address appearing on the register maintained by the Registrar a notice of
the reduction at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such
notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i)      No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this
Article Ten shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a
share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common
Stock.

(j)      Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the
Trustee, and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion
Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.  Unless and
until a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Price and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion
Price of which it has knowledge remains in effect.  Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall
prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date
on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to
the Holder of each Security at his last address appearing on the register maintained by the Registrar, within twenty
(20) days of the effective date of such adjustment.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or
validity of any such adjustment.

(k)      In any case in which this Section 10.06 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately
after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder
of any Security converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder
any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 10.03.

(l)      For purposes of this Section 10.06, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not
include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip
certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.  The Company will not pay any dividend or make
any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

Section 10.07.  Effect Of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger Or Sale.

         In the case of (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another corporation
as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or
assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the
properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of
which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including
cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then, unless an adjustment with respect thereto shall be
made pursuant to Section 10.06, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall
execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Securities shall be convertible into the kind
and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise rights
of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance.  Such supplemental indenture shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article Ten.  If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock
include shares of stock or other securities and assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such
additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider
necessary by reason of the foregoing.

         The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder
of Securities, at its address appearing on the register maintained by the Registrar, within twenty (20) days after
execution thereof.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental
indenture.

Section 10.08.  Notice Of Certain Transactions.

         If:

(a)      the Company proposes to take any action that would require an adjustment in the conversion rate;

(b)      the Company proposes to take any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section
10.07; or

(c)      there is a proposed liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company,

         the Company shall mail to Holders a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend or distribution
or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
lease, liquidation or dissolution.  The Company shall mail the notice at least 10 days before such date.  Failure to
mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

Section 10.09.  Company Determination Final.

         Any determination that the Board of Directors makes pursuant to this Article Ten is conclusive, absent
manifest error.

Section 10.10.  Trustee's Disclaimer.

         The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article or under the terms of the
Securities should be made, how it should be made or what it should be.  Such information shall be timely provided to
the Trustee in an Officers' Certificate.  The Trustee has no duty to determine whether any provisions of a
supplemental indenture under Section 10.07 are correct.  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for
the Company's failure to comply with this Article.  Each Conversion Agent other than the Company shall have the same
protection under this Section 10.10 as the Trustee.

Section 10.11.  Rights Issued Under The Outstanding Rights Agreement; Future Stockholder Rights Plans..

(a)      The Company has entered into a Rights Agreement dated as of January 28, 1998 (the "Rights Agreement") with
First Chicago Trust Company of New York.  Under the Rights Agreement, preferred share purchase rights (the "Rights")
have been, and may in the future be, issued in respect of shares of Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock issued
upon conversion of any Security pursuant to this Article 10 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of
Rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such
legends, if any, in each case as provided by and subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement as in effect at the
time of such conversion.  If hereafter the Rights separate from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions
of the Rights Agreement so that a Holder would thereafter not be entitled to receive any Rights in respect of the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Security, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Section
10.06(d) on the separation date.  In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend the Rights Agreement to
provide that upon conversion Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion,
the Rights which would have attached to such shares of Common Stock if the Rights had not become separated from the
Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of the Rights Agreement.

(b)      If the Company hereafter adopts any stockholder rights plan similar to  the Rights Agreement, a Holder
shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of its Securities in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion the related rights for the Common Stock whether or not the rights under the future stockholder
rights plan have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion, but otherwise subject to the generally
applicable terms of such plan, and no additional adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made for the future
stockholder rights plan under  Section 10.06(d).

Article 11
                                                      [reserved]

Article 12
                                                    Subordination

Section 12.01.  Securities Subordinated To Senior Indebtedness.

         The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinate and junior, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness.

(a)      Upon any distribution of assets of the Company, upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or
otherwise, then the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount
due thereon in cash or other consideration satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, or provision shall be made for such amount in cash or other
consideration satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of any of the Securities are
entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on
account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities.

(b)      For purposes of this Article Twelve, the words, "cash, securities or other property" shall not be deemed to
include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other
corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least
to the extent provided in this Article Twelve with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new
corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are
not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.  The consolidation of the
Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company
following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another
Person upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Five shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 12.01(a) if such other Person shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Five.

(c)      No payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities, if (i) any default in payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on, or any other obligation under any Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (a
"Payment Default") beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto, unless and until all such payments due in
respect of such Designated Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full in cash or other consideration satisfactory to
holders of Senior Indebtedness or such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, (ii)
any event of default, other than a Payment Default, with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is
continuing permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or other representative on
behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Designated Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable, and the Trustee receives notice thereof from any agent
representing the holders of any Designated Senior Indebtedness or any holder of any Designated Senior Indebtedness
who is not represented by an agent (the "Payment Blockage Notice"), for a period (the "Payment Blockage Period")
ending on the earlier of the date on which such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have
ceased to exist or 179 days after receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice, or (iii) any judicial proceeding shall be
pending with respect to any such default in payment or event of default; provided, further, any number of additional
Payment Blockage Periods may be commenced during an existing Payment Blockage Period; provided, however, that no
such additional Payment Blockage Period shall extend beyond the initial Payment Blockage Period.  Notwithstanding
anything in the subordination provisions of this Indenture or the Securities to the contrary, (x) in no event will a
Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date of the Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof was
given and (y) there shall be no new Payment Blockage Period unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the initial
effectiveness of the prior Payment Blockage Period.  No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the
date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be the basis for a subsequent payment blockage
notice, unless the default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

(d)      If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated, no payment may be made on the Securities until all
amounts due or to become due on Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full in cash or other consideration
satisfactory to holders of Senior Indebtedness or until such acceleration has been cured or waived.

         In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 12.01(a), (b), (c) and (d), any
payment on account of principal of or interest on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and
received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
money for any such payment shall be segregated and held in trust), at a time when such payment is not permitted by
any of such provisions, then, unless and until all Senior Indebtedness (or Designated Senior Indebtedness, in the
case of Section 12.01(c)) is paid in full in cash or other consideration satisfactory to the holders thereof, or
such payment is otherwise permitted to be made by the provisions of each of Sections 12.01(a), 12.01(b), 12.01(c)
and 12.01(d) (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 12.07), such payment on account of principal of or
interest on the Securities shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness (or Designated Senior Indebtedness, in the case of Section 12.01(c)) or their
representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments
evidencing any of the Senior Indebtedness (or Designated Senior Indebtedness, in the case of Section 12.01(c)) may
have been issued, as their interests may appear.

         Regardless of anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the
Holders of amounts deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 12.02.  Subrogation.

         Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness to which the indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as provided in Section 12.01, the Holders of the Securities
(together with the holders of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinate in right of payment to the
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, which is not subordinate in right of payment to the Securities and which
by its terms grants such right of subrogation to the holders thereof) shall be subrogated to the rights of the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the
Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full, and,
as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the
Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article
which otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company
on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Section 12.03.  Obligation Of Company Unconditional.

         Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or
shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders
of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the
Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders
of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise
of any such remedy.

Section 12.04.  Modification Of Terms Of Senior Indebtedness.

         Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders
of Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness,
including without limitation the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done without notice to or assent from
the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee.

         No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver,
consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or
of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such release is in accordance with the provisions of any applicable
document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article or of the Securities relating to
the subordination thereof.

Section 12.05.  [Reserved].

Section 12.06.  Effectuation Of Subordination By Trustee.

         Each Holder of Securities, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in his or her
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this
Article and appoints the Trustee his or attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the
affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any payment or distribution, delivered to
the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the right of such Persons under this Article,
and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Persons pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Persons to receive such payment.

Section 12.07.  Knowledge Of Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall
not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness, of any default in payment of principal,
premium (if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness, or of any facts which would prohibit the making of any
payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until a Trust
Officer of the Trustee having responsibility for the administration of the trust established by this Indenture shall
have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of Securities, any Paying or Conversion Agent of
the Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness, and, prior to the receipt of any
such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such default or facts exist;
provided, however, that unless on the third Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such
moneys may become payable for any purpose the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in this Section
12.07, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and
authority to receive such moneys and apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date.  The foregoing proviso
shall not impair the obligations of the Holders of the Securities to pay over any such amounts to the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness under the terms of Section 12.01.

Section 12.08.  Trustee's Relation To Senior Indebtedness.

         The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior

Securities, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant
to Section 10.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be
deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Security.  For the
purposes of this Section 12.10, the term "junior securities" means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the
Company or (b) securities of the Company that are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in

intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors (other than holders of Senior Indebtedness) and the
Holders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such note in
accordance with Article Ten.

                                                [REVERSE OF SECURITY]

                                                 ACXIOM CORPORATION.

                                     3.75% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2009


         1.       Interest.  Acxiom Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on
the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  The Company will pay interest
semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the first payment to be made on August 15,
2002.  Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from February 6, 2002.  Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

         2.       Maturity.  The Securities will mature on February 15, 2009 unless earlier converted, redeemed or
repurchased pursuant to the terms hereof and the Indenture.

         3.       Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to
the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the record date set forth on the
face of this Security next preceding the applicable interest payment date except that (i) interest payable upon
redemption or repurchase, unless the date of redemption or repurchase is an interest payment date, will be payable
to the Person to whom the principal is payable and (ii) in the case of any Security or portion of any Security that
is converted into Common Stock during the period from, but excluding, a record date for any interest payment date
to, but excluding, that interest payment date either (A) if the Security, or portion of the Security, has been
called for redemption on a redemption date that occurs during that period, or is to be repurchased on a Repurchase
Date that occurs during that period, the Company will not be required to pay interest on that interest payment date
in respect of any Security, or portion of any Security, that is so redeemed or repurchased; or (B) if otherwise, any
Security or portion of any Security that is not called for redemption but is submitted for conversion during that
period must be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on that interest payment date on the principal
amount so converted.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal payments.  The
Company will pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at the time of
payment is legal tender.  Principal and interest may, at the Company's option, be paid either (i) by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled to the interest as it appears in the register kept by the Registrar (provided
(a) payments to the Depositary will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the
Depositary or its nominee and (b) a Holder with an aggregate principal amount of Securities in excess of $10 million
will, at the written election of the Holder, filed on or before the relevant record date with the Trustee, be paid
by wire transfer in immediately available funds); or (ii) by transfer to an account maintained by that Person
located in the U.S.

         4.       Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent.  Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national
banking association, (the "Trustee") will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.  The Company may
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice.  The Company may act in any such capacity.

         5.       Indenture.  The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of February 6, 2002 (the
"Indenture") between the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture
and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Codess.ss.77aaa-77bbbb)
(the "Act") as in effect on the date of the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders
are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of such terms.  The Securities are general unsecured
subordinated obligations of the Company limited to a maximum of $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount (plus such
additional amount (up to an aggregate of $175,000,000) purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the option
described in Section 2.02), except as otherwise provided in the Indenture (except for Securities issued in
substitution for destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Securities).  Terms used herein which are defined in the
Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         6.       Optional Redemption by the Company.  At any time on or after February 17, 2005, the Company may
redeem the Securities on at least 20 days' notice as a whole or, from time to time, in part at the following prices,
expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, together with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed
for redemption:

                                                                                                     Redemption
Period                                                                                                 Price
Beginning February 17, 2005 and ending on February 14, 2006....................................       102.143%
Beginning February 15, 2006 and ending on February 14, 2007....................................       101.607%
Beginning February 15, 2007 and ending on February 14, 2008....................................       101.071%
Beginning February 15, 2008 and ending on February 14, 2009....................................       100.536%

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the date fixed for redemption is a semi-annual interest payment date, any accrued interest becoming due and
payable on such date fixed for redemption will be payable to the holders of record on the relevant record date of
the Securities being redeemed.

         7.       Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph 6 will be mailed at least 20 days
before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address.  Securities in
denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000
principal amount.  On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them
called for redemption.

         8.       Repurchase at Option of Holder upon a Repurchase Event.  Pursuant to Section 3.07(a) of the
Indenture within 10 days after a Repurchase Event occurs, the Company is required to give notice of the Repurchase
Event to the Holders.  Each Holder has the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase all or any
portion of the Securities 30 days after the notice of repurchase event is mailed.  The Repurchase Price will be 100%
of the principal amount of the Securities submitted for repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but
excluding, the Repurchase Date.  If a Repurchase Date is an interest payment date, then the interest payable on that
date will be paid to the holder of record on the relevant record date.  Subject to the conditions of Section 3.07 of
the Indenture, the Company, at its option, instead of paying the Repurchase Price in cash, may pay the Repurchase
Price in Common Stock, valued at 95% of the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately
before and including the third Trading Day preceding the Repurchase Date.

         9.       Repurchase at the Option of the Holder on the Put Date.  Pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of the
Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase for cash, at the option of the Holder, all or any portion
of the Securities held by such Holder on February 15, 2007 in whole multiples of $1,000 at a Put Price of 100% of
the principal amount of Securities submitted for repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
Put Date.  Interest payable on the Put Date shall be payable to holder of record on the preceding record date.  To
exercise such right, a Holder shall deliver to the Company a Put Notice containing the information set forth in the
Indenture, at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 30 days prior to such Put Date until the
close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Put Date, and shall deliver the Securities to the Trustee
as set forth in the Indenture.

         Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice by delivering to the Trustee a written notice of
withdrawal up to, but not including, the third Business Day prior to the Put Date, all as provided in the Indenture.

         10.      Conversion.  A Holder of a Security may convert the principal of such Security into Common Stock at
any time after the date of original issuance of the Security to the close of business on the business day prior to
February 15, 2009, or (x) if the Security is called for redemption by the Company, the Holder may convert it at any
time before the close of business on the date that is one business day before the date fixed for such redemption, or
(y) if the Security is to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof, the Holder may convert it at
any time before the close of business on the date that is one business day before the date fixed for such
repurchase.  The initial Conversion Price is $18.25 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances as set forth in Section 10.06 of the Indenture.  To determine the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of a Security, divide each $1,000 of the principal amount to be converted by the Conversion Price in
effect on the conversion date and round the result to the nearest 1/100th share.  The Company is not required to
issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion and, instead, will pay a cash amount as provided in Section
10.03 of the Indenture.  Except as provided in Article Ten of the Indenture, no payment or adjustment for the
principal of, premium, if any, interest on or liquidated damages with respect to, the Securities or for dividends on
any Common Stock will be made.  If a Holder surrenders a Security for conversion between the record date for the
payment of interest and the next interest payment date, such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be
accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest thereon which the registered Holder on such record date is
to receive.  A Security which the Holder has elected to be repurchased may be converted only if the Holder withdraws
its election to have such Security repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Indenture before the close of
business on the business day prior to the Repurchase Date.

         To convert a Security a Holder must (1) complete and sign the Conversion Notice, with appropriate signature
guarantee, on the back of the Security, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent, (4) pay the amount of
interest, if any, the Holder may be paid as provided in the last sentence of the above paragraph and (5) pay any
transfer or similar tax if required.  A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000
principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

         Any shares issued upon conversion of a Security shall bear the Private Placement Legend until after the
second anniversary of the later of the issue date for the Securities and the last date on which the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such shares or the Security (or any predecessor security) from which such
shares were converted (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any
successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or
applicable state securities laws as set forth in the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Conversion Agent, unless
otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof).

         11.      Subordination.  The Securities are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the
extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.  Each Holder by
accepting a Security agrees to such subordination and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect.

         12.      Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Securities are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000 principal amount.  The transfer of Securities
may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents.  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.  The Registrar need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part.  Also, it need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities
selected to be redeemed.

         13.      Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of such
Security for all purposes.

         14.      Merger or Consolidation.  The Company shall not consolidate with, or merge into, or transfer or
lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person unless, among other things, the Person is organized
under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and such Person assumes by
supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company under the Securities, the Indenture and the Registration
Rights Agreement and after giving effect to the transaction no Default or Event of Default exists.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer
all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or any other subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company.

         15.      Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default may be waived with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.  Without
notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated
Securities, to comply with Sections 5.01 and 10.07 of the Indenture or to make any change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder.

         16.      Defaults and Remedies.  An Event of Default includes the occurrence of any or the following:
default in payment of  the principal of or any premium on the Securities; default for 30 days in payment of
interest; failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the
Indenture or the Securities; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.  If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable, subject to certain limitations contained in the
Indenture.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture.  The
Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities.  Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing
Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interests.  The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate
to the Trustee.

         17.      Registration Rights.  The Holders are entitled to shelf registration rights as set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement.  The Holders shall be entitled to receive liquidated damages in certain
circumstances, all as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

         18.      Trustee Dealings with Company.  The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking institution serving
as successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from,
and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates,
as if it were not Trustee.

         19.      No Recourse Against Others.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee or shareholder,
as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder
by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.

         20.      Authentication.  This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of
the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

         21.      Abbreviations.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such
as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

         THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH TO ANY SECURITYHOLDER UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE A COPY OF THE
INDENTURE.  REQUESTS MAY BE MADE TO:

         Each Security issued under the Indenture shall bear a legend (and any common stock issued upon conversion
of such Security shall bear a comparable legend) substantially in the following form:

                         THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION
                  EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
                  "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THIS SECURITY AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
                  CONVERSION HEREOF MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE
                  ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  EACH
                  PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY
                  MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE
                  SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

                         THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, EXCEPT AS
                  SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS
                  A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER"  (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES
                  ACT), (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF
                  THIS SECURITY RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO THE
                  COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN
                  COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION
                  FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE),
                  (D) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR
                  (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF

                  SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND IN
                  CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL
                  ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY. THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE
                  TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN VIOLATION OF THE
                  FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.






                                              II. GLOBAL SECURITY LEGEND

                           (the "Securities")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to the Securities issued pursuant to a certain indenture dated as of February 6, 2002 by
and between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee").  The Securities were issued in
transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-3
(number 333-____) (the "Registration Statement") relating to the registration under the Securities Act of
$[          ] principal amount of the Securities and the shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares")
issuable upon conversion of the Securities being registered.  The Registration Statement was declared effective by
order of the SEC dated [_____________].

         We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the issuance of the Securities and the
preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and are familiar with the Securities, the Indenture, the
Registration Statement, the above-mentioned SEC order and such other documents as are necessary to render this
opinion.

         We have been orally advised by the SEC that the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939, as amended, and that the Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act at _____,
on ____________, 200_, and we have been orally advised by the SEC that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement has been issued and, to the best of our knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have
been instituted or are pending or threatened by the SEC.

         This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the Indenture and is solely for your benefit
and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by any other
person for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

                                                     Yours truly,

a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans
in which Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice
thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of such
Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of
notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender's
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation
under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis,
to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts
so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan
shall be made to the Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from
the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the
Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; any
such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall
have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear.
The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of
any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05.     Letters of Credit.

(a)      General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of
Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank, at any time and from
time to time during the Revolving Availability Period.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b)      Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying
the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall
comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such
Letter of Credit.  If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter
of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $40,000,000 and
(ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c)      Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier
of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal
or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) (provided that any Letter of Credit with a
one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods not to extend past the date in
clause (ii) below) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d)      Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing
the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing
Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of the
aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the
account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or
of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)      Reimbursement.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not
later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall
have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon,
Dallas, Texas time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received
prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following
the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of
receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in
accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan.  If the Borrower fails to make such
payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment
then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Agent its Applicable Percentage
of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans
made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Revolving Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the
Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders
have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and
the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or
a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)      Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision
therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder.  The Agent, the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties, shall not have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or
any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other
communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the
control of the Issuing Bank.  The foregoing provisions of this clause (f) shall not be construed to excuse the
Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank
(as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised
care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof,
the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and
make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not
in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)      Disbursement Procedures.  The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all
documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the
Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)      Interim Interest.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date
that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided
that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section,
then Section 2.12(d) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the
Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to
the extent of such payment.

(i)      Replacement of the Issuing Bank.  The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement
among the Borrower, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Agent shall notify
the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become
effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant
to Section 2.11(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the
context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall
remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to
issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)      Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that
the Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and
for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective
immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any
kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VIII.  Each such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent and at the Borrower's
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for
the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Required Lenders) be applied to satisfy
other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied
as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been
cured or waived.

SECTION 2.06.     Funding of Borrowings.

(a)      Each Revolving Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by
wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, to the account of the Agent most
recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans
shall be made as provided in Section 2.04.  The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent or by
wire transfer, automated clearing house debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Persons
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance
the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Agent to the
Issuing Bank.

(b)      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing
that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if
a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays
such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07.     Interest Elections.

(a)      Each Revolving  Borrowing  initially  shall be of the Type specified in the applicable  Borrowing  Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  shall have an initial  Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing
Request.  Thereafter,  the  Borrower may elect to convert such  Borrowing to a different  Type or to continue  such
Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  may elect  Interest  Periods  therefor,  all as provided in
this  Section.  The  Borrower  may elect  different  options  with  respect to  different  portions of the affected
Borrowing,  in which  case each such  portion  shall be  allocated  ratably  among the  Lenders  holding  the Loans
comprising such  Borrowing,  and the Loans  comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate  Borrowing.
This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)      To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by
telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of
such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by
the Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c)      Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02 and paragraph (f) of this Section:

(i)      the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being
elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting
Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)     the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a
Business Day;

(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)     if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after
giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest
Period".

         If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest
Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

(d)      Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the
details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)      If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar
Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and
(ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

(f)      A Revolving Borrowing may not be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing if after giving
effect thereto the Interest Period therefor would commence before and end after a date on which any principal of
the Loans is scheduled to be repaid.

SECTION 2.08.     Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Extension of Maturity Date.

(a)      Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)      By written notice sent to the Agent (which the Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders), the
Borrower may request that the then effective Maturity Date (the "Current Maturity Date") be extended to a date
one year from the then Current Maturity Date (an "Extension Request").  An Extension Request may be delivered by
the Borrower to the Agent at any time prior to the date which is 90 days prior to the then Current Maturity Date
when no Default exists.  Within 45 days of the receipt by the Agent of an Extension Request, each Lender shall
provide the Agent and the Borrower with a written consent to, or a rejection of, the Borrower's Extension
Request.  The decision whether to accept or reject an Extension Request shall be made by each Lender in its sole
discretion based on such information as it may deem necessary and no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to
any extension of the then Current Maturity Date.  The failure of a Lender to respond to any Extension Request
within such 45-day period shall be deemed a rejection of such request.  If all the Lenders consent to an
Extension Request, the Maturity Date shall be the date one year from the then Current Maturity Date as specified
in a notice from the Agent.  If Lenders holding 25% or less of the Revolving Exposures and unused Revolving
Commitments reject an Extension Request (the "Rejecting Lenders"), then the Borrower may take one of the
following actions:  (i) by written notice to each Rejecting Lender and the Agent, delivered prior to the then
Current Maturity Date, terminate the Revolving Commitment of each Rejecting Lender if simultaneously with such
termination the Borrower pays to each Rejecting Lender all amounts owed by the Borrower to such Rejecting Lender
hereunder or (ii) cause each Rejecting Lender to assign its interest in the Agreement to a new Lender who will
consent to the Extension Request under the terms of Section 2.18(b) on or before the then Current Maturity Date.
If the Borrower consummates either of the foregoing actions on or before the then Current Maturity Date, then the
Maturity Date shall be the date one year from the then Current Maturity Date as specified in a notice from the
Agent.

(c)      The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided
that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10,
the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(d)      The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments
under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination
or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice,
the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered
by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in
which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments
shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(e)      The aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments are also required to be reduced as described in
Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 2.09.     Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)      The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and
the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least
two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is
made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

(c)      The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
the Class and 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 Lender hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

(d)      The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (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 Lender 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 Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved
by the Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee
and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10.     Prepayment of Loans.
(a)      The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or
in part without premium or penalty except for amounts paid in accordance with Section 2.15, subject to the
requirements of this Section.

(b)      In the event and on such occasion that the sum of the Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Revolving
Commitments (including after any mandatory reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 4.02 of the
Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such
Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in
an aggregate amount equal to such excess.  The Borrower shall also be required to prepay the Revolving Borrowings
under the terms of Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.14 hereof.

(c)      Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this Section.

(d)      The Borrower shall notify the Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline
Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, three Business Days before the date of
prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on
the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas,
Texas time, on the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment
date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory
prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of
optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments
as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice
relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial
prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of
a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11.     Fees.

(a)      The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall
accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender
during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving
Commitment terminates.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on
the first such date to occur after the date hereof.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).  For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be
used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure
of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b)      The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on
Eurodollar Borrowings on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such
Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, which
shall accrue at the rate of 1/8 % per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion
thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to
but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there
ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees
and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year
shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate
shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be
payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

(c)      All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent
(or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Except in the case of errors in payment which have been
confirmed by Agent, fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12.     Interest.

(a)      The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate.

(b)      The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)      The Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from day to day
plus 2.00%.

(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Borrowings as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e)      Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan
and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d)
of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other
than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the
principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued
interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f)      All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest
computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the
Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rates pursuant to this
Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.13.     Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)      the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that through no
fault of the Agent adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period; or

(b)      the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders (as certified by such Required Lenders in a written
certificate delivered to Agent and Borrower setting forth in detail the reasons for such Required Lenders'
position) of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.14.     Increased Costs.

(a)      If any Change in Law shall:

(i)      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, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii)     impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender
or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)      If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the
capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by
the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or
the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect
to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such
Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)      A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth (i) the amount or amounts (including a
description of the method of calculating such amount or amounts), necessary to compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and
(ii) the applicable Change in Law and other facts that give rise to such amount or amounts shall be delivered to
the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15.     Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default or as a result of the operation of Section 2.18), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay
any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such
notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08 or Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had
such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period
from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan),
over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered
to the Borrower, shall set forth the method of calculating such amount or amounts and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16.     Taxes.

(a)      Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each recipient of each such
payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions 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 shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.

(c)      The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and any other party hereto within
10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Agent, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other party hereto, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment
by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the Issuing Bank, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall set forth
in reasonable detail the origin and amount of the payments to be due under this Section 2.16(c) and such
certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)      As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e)      If a Lender, the Issuing Bank or Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a
Governmental Authority specifically in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by a Borrower, or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts, pursuant to this
Section 2.16, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within
30 days after receipt of a request by Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at
Borrower's expense.  If a Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Agent receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim
for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) specifically in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower had paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund
to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under
this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by
the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that Borrower, upon the
request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus penalties,
interest or other charges) to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent in the event such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(f)      Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law
of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or
times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate.

SECTION 2.17.     Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs.

(a)      The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan
Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time),
on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the
Agent at its offices in New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline
Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 and
the other clauses of this Section 2.17 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments
pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein.  The Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof.  If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments under each Loan
Document shall be made in dollars.

(b)      If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of
principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)      If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or
Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for
cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

(d)      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the
amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

(e)      If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c),
2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 10.03(c), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy
such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f)      All proceeds received by the Agent from the sale or other liquidation of the Collateral when an Event of
Default exists shall first be applied as payment of the accrued and unpaid fees of the Agent hereunder and then
to all other unpaid or unreimbursed obligations (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) owing to the
Agent in its capacity as Agent only and then any remaining amount of such proceeds shall be distributed:

(i)      first, to an account at the Agent over which the Agent shall have control in an amount sufficient to
fully collateralize all LC Exposure then outstanding; and

(ii)     second, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the such Lender's Revolving Exposure, until all the
Revolving Loans have been paid and satisfied in full or cash collateralized.

All amounts paid under the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty shall be applied as provided in paragraph 5 of the
Guaranty.

(g)      After all Revolving Commitments are terminated and all other obligations of any Lender to Borrower or
any Guarantor are otherwise satisfied, any proceeds of Collateral shall be delivered to the Person entitled
thereto as determined by the Intercreditor Agreement, by applicable law or applicable court order.

SECTION 2.18.     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)      If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject
such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

(b)      If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or if a Lender fails to consent
to an Extension Request, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent (and, if a
Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts due under Section 2.15 other
than in connection with an assignment resulting from a Lender's default in its obligations to fund Loans), from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment under the terms of
Section 2.08(b) resulting from the rejection of an Extension Request, such assignment will result in the consent
by all Lenders to such Extension Request.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19.     Exiting Lenders.  Each Lender who is not listed on Schedule 2.01 as having a Revolving
Commitment as of the Effective Date shall be referred to herein as an "Exiting Lender" and each Exiting Lender
agrees that after the Effective Date it (i) shall extinguish its rights and be released from its obligations
under the Prior Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) shall no longer be deemed a
Lender and this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified without its consent or agreement except the
consent of an Exiting Lender effected thereby shall be required for any amendment or other modification of this
Section 2.19). On the Effective Date, the Lenders who have increased their Revolving Commitment shall deliver
immediately available funds to the Agent and the Agent shall deliver such funds to the other Lenders and Exiting
Lenders, in each case in amounts sufficient so that after giving effect thereto, the Loans shall be held by the
Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Commitments.  The amounts funded under the foregoing
sentence shall be deemed an ABR Loan and a continuation and assignment of the Loans made by the Lenders receiving
such funds.  The Borrower agrees to pay each Lender receiving such funds under the foregoing sentence any amounts
due under Section 2.15 arising from the payment of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto resulting from such receipt of funds.

SECTION 2.20.     Consent Relating to the Subordinated Debt.  Each party hereto that is a "Lender" under the
Prior Agreement hereby consents to:  (a) the Borrower's departure from Section 6.01 of the Prior Agreement in
order to permit the Borrower to incur the Subordinated Debt and (b) to the Borrower's departure from Section 6.08
of the Prior Agreement in order to permit the Borrower to repurchase the May & Speh Notes, as long as any
obligation entered into to repurchase such notes is contingent on the funding of the Subordinated Debt, such
repurchase will be made with the proceeds of the Subordinated Notes and any May & Speh Notes so repurchased will
promptly be canceled and no longer outstanding; provided that: such consents shall not be deemed consents to the
departure from or waivers of:  (a) Sections 6.01 or 6.08 of the Prior Agreement or Sections 6.01 or 6.08 of this
Agreement for any other purpose; (b) any other covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or the Prior
Agreement; or (c) any Default that might otherwise arise as a result thereof. The Borrower agrees that its
failure to comply with Sections 6.01 or 6.08 of the Prior Agreement or Sections 6.01 or 6.08 of this Agreement
with respect to any other transaction covered thereby shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 2.21.     Consent  Relating to the  Intercreditor  Agreement.  Each party hereto that is a "Creditor" under
the  Intercreditor  Agreement or a "Lender" under the Prior Agreement  hereby consents to the Borrower's  departure
from Section 4.02 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  and Section  2.08(e) of the Prior  Agreement in order to permit
the Net Proceeds of the  Subordinated  Debt to be applied as follows:  (i) either (a) the prepayment in full of the
Senior  Notes  directly  or (b) the  reimburse  the issuer of the letter of credit  supporting  the  payment of the
Senior  Notes for a draw  thereunder  of all  amounts  owed in respect of the Senior  Notes;  (ii)  either  (a) the
redemption  in full of the May & Speh  Notes;  (b) if the May & Speh Notes are  converted  in  accordance  with the
terms thereof, then to the prepayment of the Revolving Loans (without reduction of the Revolving  Commitments);  or
(c) repurchase the May & Speh Notes if such May & Speh Notes are promptly canceled and no longer  outstanding;  and
(iii) the  prepayment of the  outstanding  amount of the Revolving  Loans;  provided that such consent shall not be
deemed a consent  to the  departure  from or waiver of those  sections  for any other  purpose  and the  Borrower's
failure to comply with those sections with respect to any other  transaction  covered  thereby shall  constitute an
Event of Default  hereunder.  Each  party  hereto  that is a Creditor  under the  Intercreditor  Agreement  hereby:
(i) consent  to and agrees  with the  amendment  to the  Intercreditor  Agreement  in the form  attached  hereto as
Exhibit C;  (ii) authorizes and directs the Agent,  the Collateral Agent and Bank of America as agent in respect of
the Synthetic Real Property Lease to execute and deliver such  amendment;  and  (iii) agree  and  acknowledge  that
this Agreement is the "Revolver Agreement" under the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 2.22.     Waiver of Existing Default.  The Borrower has advised the lenders under the Prior Agreement and
the other Creditors that Defaults have occurred under clause (e) of Article VIII of the Prior Agreement as a
result of the failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 5.11 of the Prior Agreement and Section 4.04 of the
Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the creation of its new subsidiary named Acxiom UWS, Ltd. (the "Existing
Default").  Each party hereto that is a "Lender" under the Prior Agreement hereby waives the Existing Default and
agrees not to exercise any rights or remedies available as a result of the occurrence thereof.  To induce such
parties to agree to the terms of this Section 2.22 , Borrower and the Guarantors (by their execution below) agree
that the waiver specifically described herein shall not constitute and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other
Default, whether arising as a result of the further violation of Section 5.11 of the Prior Agreement or this
Agreement, Section 4.04 of the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise, or a waiver of any rights or remedies
arising as a result of such other Defaults.  The failure to comply with the Section 5.11 of this Agreement or
Section 4.04 of the Intercreditor Agreement for any date other than as specifically described in the definition
of Existing Default shall constitute an Event of Default.

ARTICLE III.

Representations and Warranties

         The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01.     Organization; Powers.  Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing
in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to do so, individually or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any
material respect.  All material amounts due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be
made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and
other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.15.     Solvency.  Immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of Borrower and each Guarantor, at a
fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present
fair saleable value of the property of Borrower and each Guarantor will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) Borrower and each Guarantor will be able to
pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become
absolute and matured; and (d) Borrower and each Guarantor will not have unreasonably small capital with which to
conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted
following the Effective Date.  As used in this Section 3.15, the term "fair value" means the amount at which the
applicable assets would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller within a reasonable time, each
having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, neither being under any compulsion to act, with equity to both
and "present fair saleable value" means the amount that may be realized if the applicable company's aggregate
assets are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm's length transaction under present conditions for the sale
of a comparable business enterprises.

of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin
stock (within the meaning of Regulations U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and,
except for the repurchases of the Borrower's capital stock in accordance with the limitations in Section 5.10 and
Section 6.08, no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend
credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

SECTION 3.17.     Senior Indebtedness.  The Indebtedness under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitutes "Senior Indebtedness" and "Designated Senior Indebtedness" under and as defined in the Subordinated

the same  purpose  or  purposes  as the  property  sold or  transferred,  except  for any such sale of any fixed or

asset and the lease thereof pursuant to:

(i)      the Synthetic  Equipment Lease  Facility,  the Synthetic  Airplane Lease  Facility,  or the Synthetic Real
Property Lease or

(ii)     any other lease otherwise permitted hereby if, after giving effect to any sale in connection with a
lease permitted under clause (ii), the aggregate book value of all assets sold pursuant to the permissions of
this Section 6.06 (excluding those assets sold under the Synthetic Equipment Lease Facility, the Synthetic
Airplane Lease Facility, or the Synthetic Real Property Lease) in any fiscal year does not exceed a Dollar Amount

foregoing computation in connection with the sale and lease back transaction contemplated therefor if the
aggregate amount financed under the terms of such transaction does not exceed $45,000,000 and if fifty percent
(50%) of the Net Proceeds received in connection with the sale of such assets are treated by Borrower as Net
Proceeds from an asset disposition and applied as required by Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If
the Net Proceeds from such transaction are not used as "Net Proceeds" from an asset disposition as provided in
the forgoing sentence, then fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of the book value of such assets shall be
required to be included in the computation required by the first sentence of this Section 6.06.  If the Borrower
finances the Conway Facility in a transaction permitted by Section 6.01(a)(xii)(B) which does not include a sale
and lease back, then fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of the book value of the Conway Facility shall
be included in the calculations under this Section 6.06 as if the Conway Facility had been sold in a sale and
lease back transaction unless fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds received in connection with such financing
are treated by Borrower as Net Proceeds from an asset disposition and applied as required by Section 4.02 of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 6.07.     Hedging Agreements.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to,
enter into any Hedging Agreement, other than Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business

         amount of such gains or losses exceed, in either case (i.e., gains or losses), $1,000,000 in

Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the
Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (h) or
(i) of Article VIII has occurred and is continuing.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (d) 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 Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender 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 Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

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

(d)      Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
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.

(e)      Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and
the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (f) of
this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15,
2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender 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 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent.  A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.16 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 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g)      Any Lender 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 Lender, 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 Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 7.05.     Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in
the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and
shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 7.06.     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  THIS AGREEMENT,
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY SEPARATE LETTER AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FEES PAYABLE TO THE AGENT EMBODY THE
FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL
PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (INCLUDING THE PRIOR AGREEMENT) AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Agent and the Borrower and when the Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates in
its entirety the Prior Agreement.  The execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in
connection herewith does not extinguish the commitment under or the indebtedness outstanding in connection with
the Prior Agreement nor does it constitute a novation with respect to such commitment or such indebtedness.  The
Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders ratify and confirm each of the Loan Documents entered into prior to the
Effective Date (but excluding the Prior Agreement) and agree that such Loan Documents continue to be legal,
valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.  However, for all matters arising prior
to the Effective Date (including the accrual and payment of interest and fees, and matters relating to
indemnification and compliance with financial covenants), the terms of the Prior Agreement (as unmodifed by this
Agreement) shall control and are hereby ratified and confirmed.  The Borrower and each Guarantor represents and
warrants that as of the Effective Date there are no claims or offsets against or defenses or counterclaims to its
obligations under the Prior Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  TO INDUCE THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS, OFFSETS, DEFENSES OR
COUNTERCLAIMS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and
notwithstanding any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders agree
and acknowledge that:

(A)      the term "Credit Agreement" as used in each Loan Document means this Agreement;

(B)      the term "Guaranteed Indebtedness" as used in the Subsidiary Guaranty and the term "Revolver
Obligations" as used in the Intercreditor Agreement includes all of the obligations, indebtedness and liability of
the Borrower to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them, arising pursuant to this Agreement;

(C)      any reference to The Chase Manhattan Bank or Chase Bank of Texas, National Association in any Loan
Document executed prior to the Effective Date shall mean a reference to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as successor in
interest by merger.

SECTION 7.07.     Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof;
and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 7.08.     Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  each Lender and
each of its Affiliates 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  obligations  at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate 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  held by such  Lender,  irrespective  of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement  and although  such  obligations  may be  unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 7.09.     Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)      This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Texas.

(b)      THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDI-TIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SITTING IN DALLAS COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, 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 TEXAS 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 JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENT, THE
ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c)      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 any other Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section.  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.

(d)      Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 10.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any
party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 7.10.     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 ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 7.11.     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 shall not affect the construction of, or be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 7.12.     Confidentiality.  The Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and
its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise
of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information:  (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  For the purposes of this Section, "Information"
means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with
its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 7.13.     Maximum Interest Rate.

(a)      No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate.  If at any
time the interest rate (the "Contract Rate") for any obligation under the Loan Documents shall exceed the Maximum
Rate, thereby causing the interest accruing on such obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any
subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such
obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such obligation equals the
aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such obligation if the Contract Rate for such obligation
had at all times been in effect.  As used herein, the term "Maximum Rate" means, at any time with respect to any
Lender, the maximum rate of nonusurious interest under applicable law that such Lender may charge Borrower.  The
Maximum Rate shall be calculated in a manner that takes into account any and all fees, payments, and other
charges contracted for, charged, or received in connection with the Loan Documents that constitute interest under
applicable law.  Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based upon the Maximum Rate resulting from
a change in the Maximum Rate shall take effect without notice to Borrower at the time of such change in the
Maximum Rate.  For purposes of determining the Maximum Rate under Texas law, the applicable rate ceiling shall be
the weekly rate ceiling described in, and computed in accordance with, Article 5069-1.04, Vernon's Texas Civil
Statutes.

(b)      No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided
for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan
transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties,
guarantors, successors, or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or
any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto.  In the event
any Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of
the obligations outstanding hereunder, and, if the principal of the obligations outstanding hereunder has been
paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower.  In determining whether or not the
interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and each Lender shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the
obligations outstanding hereunder so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

(c)      The provisions of Chapter 346 of the Finance Code of Texas are specifically declared by the parties
hereto not to be applicable to this Agreement  or to the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 7.14.     Intercompany Subordination.

(a)      Borrower agrees that the Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below) shall be subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) as herein provided.
The Subordinated Indebtedness shall not be payable, and no payment of principal, interest or other amounts on
account thereof, and no property or guarantee of any nature to secure or pay the Subordinated Indebtedness shall
be made or given, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any Guarantor or received, accepted, retained or
applied by Borrower unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash; except that
prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantor shall have the right to make
payments, and the Borrower shall have the right to receive payments on the Subordinated Indebtedness from time to
time as may be determined by Borrower.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
no payments of principal, interest or other amounts may be made or given, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf
of any Guarantor or received, accepted, retained or applied by Borrower unless and until the Senior Indebtedness
shall have been paid in full in cash.  If any sums shall be paid to Borrower by any Guarantor or any other Person
on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness when such payment is not permitted hereunder, such sums shall be held
in trust by the Borrower for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to and applied by
Agent against the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms hereof.  For purposes of this Section 10.14,
the term (i) "Subordinated Indebtedness" means, with respect to a Guarantor, all indebtedness, liabilities, and
obligations of such Guarantor to Borrower, whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or
are hereafter incurred or arise, or are direct, indirect, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and
several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations are evidenced
by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such
indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the
manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Borrower and (ii) "Senior Indebtedness" means,
with respect to each Guarantor, all of the obligations, indebtedness and liability of the such Guarantor to the
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them, arising pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty or any of
the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether direct, indirect, related,
unrelated, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, including, without
limitation, any and all post-petition interest and expenses (including attorneys' fees) whether or not allowed
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law.

(b)      Borrower agrees that any and all Liens (including any judgment liens), upon any Guarantor's assets
securing payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any and all
Liens upon any Guarantor's assets securing payment of the Senior Indebtedness or any part thereof, regardless of
whether such Liens in favor of Borrower, Agent or any Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or
attached.  Without the prior written consent of Agent, Borrower shall not (i) file suit against any Guarantor or
exercise or enforce any other creditor's right it may have against any Guarantor, or (ii) foreclose, repossess,
sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including
without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's
relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any obligations of any Guarantor to Borrower or any Liens held by
Borrower on assets of any Guarantor.

(c)      In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, debtor's relief, or other
insolvency proceeding involving any Guarantor as debtor, Agent shall have the right to prove and vote any claim
under the Subordinated Indebtedness and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian
all dividends, distributions, and payments made in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Senior
Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash. Agent may apply any such dividends, distributions, and payments
against the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d)      Borrower agrees that all promissory notes and other instruments evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness
shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the
terms of this Section 10.14.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

each Guarantor, and such other documents, corporate records and certificates of public officials as we have
considered appropriate.

         For purposes of this opinion, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent investigation
or inquiry that:

                  (i)      all signatures of the parties other than the Company and the Guarantors on the
         Transaction Documents that we examined are genuine, the Transaction Documents submitted to us as
         originals are authentic, and the Transaction Documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original
         Transaction Documents executed by the parties thereto;

                  (ii)     the Transaction Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed, delivered
         and accepted by all parties thereto (other than the Company and each Guarantor) and all parties thereto
         (other than the Company and each Guarantor) have all requisite power and authority to make and enter
         into the Transaction Documents and perform their obligations thereunder pursuant to the laws of all
         relevant jurisdictions;

                  (iii)    the Agent and the Lenders have their principal place of business, chief executive
         office and domicile outside of the State of Arkansas; all substantive negotiations relating to the
         transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have taken place outside the State of Arkansas,
         either in person or by telephone conferences between your representatives in the States of Texas and New
         York and representatives of the Company in the State of Arkansas; the closing of the transactions
         contemplated by, the delivery by the Company and each Guarantor and the acceptance by the Lenders or
         their counsel of the Transaction Documents occurred in the State of Texas; the administration of and
         delivery and acceptance of payments pursuant to the Transaction Documents will take place in the State
         of New York; the choice of law as provided for in the Transaction Documents is valid pursuant to the
         conflict of laws principles under the laws of any and all jurisdictions governing the same (other than
         the State of Arkansas) specifically including the laws of the State of Texas; and, the parties to the
         Transaction Documents have voluntarily chosen to have the laws of the State of Texas govern the
         Transaction Documents;

                  (iv)     The Transaction Documents were entered into in good faith and for adequate
         consideration; and

                  (v)      The Agent and the Lenders will exercise their rights, remedies and benefits under the
         Transaction Documents in a commercially reasonably manner.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth below, we are of
the opinion that:

         1.       The Company and each Guarantor organized under the laws of the States of either Arkansas or
Delaware (collectively the "Loan Parties") has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of its incorporation or organization as reflected in the Agreement.

         2.       Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been
duly authorized by all requisite corporate action, and the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by each Loan Party who is a party thereto.

         3.       The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by each Loan Party
that is a party thereto of their respective terms, do not conflict with or result in a violation of law, rule or
regulation, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of any Loan Party, or of any agreement, instrument,
order, writ, judgment or decree known to us to which any Loan Party is a party or is subject.

         4.       A court of the State of Arkansas presented with the facts, as we have assumed them, and
properly applying the current conflict of law principles, would honor the choice of law provisions as set forth
in the Transaction Documents and would not apply the substantive laws of the State of Arkansas, including usury
laws to the Transaction Documents, except for certain issues necessarily governed by Arkansas law such as title
to properties and remedies and procedures for enforcement in Arkansas.

         5.       No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any governmental
authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery by any Loan Party of Transaction Documents to
which it is a party.

         6.       To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or
affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties in any court or before any
arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         7.       The execution and delivery by the Company and each Guarantor of the Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents executed by it, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the
performance of the terms and provisions of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and
the Guarantors will not involve any violations of Regulation T, U or X or any other rule or regulation of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

         8.       The Company is not an investment company, or a person directly or indirectly controlled by or
acting on behalf of an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         9.       The Indebtedness arising under the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitutes "Senior Indebtedness" under and as defined in the Subordinated Debt Documents.

DALLAS2 860283v6 12283-00139
                                    FIRST AMENDMENT TO INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (the "Amendment"), dated as of January 28, 2002, is
among BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, as agent for the Synthetic Financing Parties (as
such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement described below and in such capacity and its successors in
such capacity, the "Synthetic Agent"), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as successor in interest by merger to The Chase
Manhattan Bank who was successor in interest by merger to Chase Bank of Texas, National Association and as agent
for the lenders under the Revolver Agreement (as such term is defined in such Intercreditor Agreement and in such
capacity and its successors in such capacity, the "Revolver Agent" and together with the Synthetic Agent, herein
the "Agents"), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as successor in interest by merger to The Chase Manhattan Bank in its
capacity as an issuer of a letter of credit as described in the Intercreditor Agreement, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as
successor in interest by merger to The Chase Manhattan Bank in its capacity as a term loan lender as described in
the Intercreditor Agreement, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as successor in interest by merger to The Chase Manhattan Bank
as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent"), ACXIOM CORPORATION ("Borrower") and certain of its subsidiaries
(such subsidiaries, together with Borrower, the "Obligated Parties").

RECITALS:

         The Obligated Parties, The Chase Manhattan Bank in its individual capacity, the Agents, and the
Collateral Agent have entered into that certain Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 21, 2001 (as the
same may hereafter be amended or otherwise modified, the "Agreement").  Capitalized terms that are used in these
recitals and the introduction to this Amendment which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set
forth in the Agreement.

         The Borrower has advised the Collateral Agent and the Creditors that the Borrower desires to issue
convertible subordinated notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $205,000,000, the net proceeds of
which the Borrower would like to be used as follows, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02 of the
Agreement to the contrary: (i) to prepay the Borrower's 6.92% Senior Notes due March 30, 2007; and (ii) to
provide the funds need to redeem and/or repurchase (and promptly cancelled) the Acxiom/May & Speh, Inc 5.25%
convertible subordinated notes due in April 2003.  Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the new
convertible subordinated notes, the Borrower will reduce the aggregate amount of the commitments under the
Revolver Agreement and, with the remainder of the net proceeds of such new notes, prepay the loans outstanding
thereunder which prepayment shall be sufficient to cause the outstanding loans to not exceed the aggregate amount
of the commitments as so reduced.  If the Acxiom/May & Speh, Inc 5.25% convertible subordinated notes are
converted prior to the redemption or repurchase, the net proceeds that would otherwise be applied thereto shall
be applied to reduce the outstandings under the Revolver Agreement (but not the commitments thereunder).

         The Borrower and the other Obligated Parties have also advised the Collateral Agent and the Creditors
that an Event of Default has occurred under the Agreement as a result of the Borrower's failure to cause Acxiom
UWS, Ltd., a subsidiary of the Borrower formed on November 16, 2001, to among other things, become party to the
Agreement and Security Agreement as required by Section 4.04 of the Agreement (the "Existing Default").

         The Required Creditors have consented to the application of the net proceeds of the new convertible
subordinated notes as described above and have waived the Existing Default.  In connection with the forgoing, the
Obligated Parties, the Agents, the Collateral Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank in its individual now desire to amend
the Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows
effective as of the date hereof unless otherwise indicated:

ARTICLE I.

Definitions

SECTION 1.01.     Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, to the extent not otherwise defined
herein, shall have the same meanings as in the Agreement, as amended hereby.

ARTICLE II.

Amendments


SECTION 2.01.     Amendment to Section 1.01.  Clause (1) of the definition of the phrase "Senior Pro Rata Share
Share" in Section 1.01 of the Agreement  is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                  (1)      if the sum of (a) the principal amount of the Senior Obligations advanced by
         and owed to the Revolving Lenders plus (b) the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters
         of credit issued pursuant to the Revolver Agreement (the sum of the foregoing herein the
         "Revolving Debt") is in excess of $175,000,000.00 at the time of determination of Senior Pro
         Rata Share, then the Revolving Debt owed to the Revolving Lenders in excess of $175,000,000.00
         and any interest and commitment fees accrued thereon (the "Excess Revolving Obligations") shall
         not be included in the Senior Obligations for purposes of determining Senior Pro Rata Share
         until the Senior Obligations (less the Excess Synthetic Obligations and Excess Noteholder
         Obligations, if any) owing to the other Senior Creditors have been paid in full and (y) in
         determining Senior Pro Rata Share for each Revolving Lender, the Revolving Lender's
         proportionate share of the Excess Revolving Obligations shall not be included in the Senior
         Obligations owed to such Revolving Lender until the Senior Obligations (less the Excess
         Synthetic Obligations and Excess Noteholder Obligations, if any) owing to the other Senior
         Creditors have been paid in full.  A Revolving Lender's proportionate share of the Excess

         below) are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of a Capital
         Market Event (as defined below) or in respect of an Asset Disposition (as defined below), then
         the Borrower shall prepay the Senior Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to twenty-five
         (25%) of the Net Proceeds so received with each Senior Creditor receiving its Senior Pro Rata
         Share thereof in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof as if such Net Proceeds were "Proceed" of
         Collateral (to the extent they are not otherwise); provided that if with respect to any Net
         Proceeds received in connection with an Asset Disposition:

(i)      no Potential Default or Event of Default exists (and the Borrower shall have represented and warranted
         to the Collateral Agent to that fact); and

(ii)     either:

(A)      the Borrower shall have invested the Net Proceeds thereof in Collateral for use in the business of the

(B)      the Borrower shall have within 90 days after receipt of the proceeds with respect thereto, applied the
         Net Proceeds to the repair or restoration of the property subject to such event;

         then the Net Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower in connection with such Asset Disposition
         except to the extent of any Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of
         the applicable periods set forth above, at which time twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net
         Proceeds shall be applied to the Senior Obligations in accordance with this Section 4.02.  As

                           (i)      any sale, transfer or other disposition of any asset of the
                  Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than any disposition expressly permitted
                  pursuant to the terms of Transaction Documents without the requirement that
                  the consent of the Creditors party to such Transaction Documents be obtained;
                  or

                           (ii)     any casualty or other damage to, or any taking under power
                  of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of, any asset of

                  Interests, or the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any capital
                  contribution other than (A) any such issuance of Equity Interests to, or

                  unsecured indebtedness (other than the Subordinated Debt) but only to the
                  extent that the aggregate Net Proceeds from such Indebtedness during a fiscal

         any sales commissions, investment banking fees, or underwriting discounts, (ii) in the case of
         a sale, transfer or other disposition of an asset (including pursuant to a sale and leaseback
         transaction or a casualty or a condemnation or similar proceeding), the amount of all payments
         required to be made by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as a result of such event to repay
         debt or other obligations secured by such asset or otherwise subject to mandatory prepayment as

         secured by Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent encumbering such property, and (iii) the
         amount of all taxes paid (or reasonably estimated to be payable) by the Borrower and the
         Subsidiaries, and the amount of any reserves established by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries

         attributable to such event (as determined reasonably and in good faith by the chief financial
         officer of the Borrower) and (B) in the case of reserves for contingent liabilities, during the
         period of any contractual indemnification obligation or statute of limitation imposed upon the
         Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

         Any Net Proceeds to be applied to the Senior Obligations hereunder shall also be applied, with
         respect to a Senior Creditor, to reduce any commitment of such Senior Creditor which is
         outstanding in connection with the Senior Obligations being prepaid by an amount equal to such
         Senior Creditor's Senior Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such Net Proceeds (without
         regard to whether such Senior Obligations are paid in full); provided that the aggregate amount
         of the commitments under the Revolver Agreement shall not be reduce below $150,000,000 pursuant
         to this sentence. If no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, no draw has been made on
         the Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Bank received Net Proceeds under this
         Section 4.02, the Letter of Credit Bank agrees to allow such Net Proceeds to be applied as a
         prepayment on the Notes. Upon such prepayment, Borrower shall request from the Noteholders a
         reduction in the stated amount of the Letter of Credit in the amount of such prepayment in
         accordance with its right to do so. By execution of this Agreement, the Obligated Parties agree
         to apply any such Net Proceeds received from the Letter of Credit Bank to the prepayment of the
         Notes.  The Creditors agree that any such prepayment of the Notes are permitted notwithstanding
         anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary or anything otherwise prohibiting such
         prepayment.

SECTION 2.03.     Amendment to Section 6.06.  Section 6.06 of the Agreement is amended to add the following to
the end thereof:

         Without the consent or further agreement of any Creditor, the Collateral Agent is authorized
         to, and shall, release the Liens granted to it under the terms of the Mortgage in the
         Borrower's real property, improvements and fixtures located at 301 Industrial Boulevard,
         Conway, Arkansas 72032 (which includes the Mortgaged Property described in item 3 on Schedule
         1.01 which is located) if and when such property is refinanced pursuant to a sale and lease
         back transaction or other financing permitted by the Transaction Documents upon receipt of a
         certification by a financial officer of the Borrower that such property has been financed in a
         transaction permitted by all the Transaction Documents.

Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different
portions of the affected Tranche, in which case each such portion shall be considered a separate Tranche.

         If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Tranche but does not specify an Interest Period, then the
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

(d)     If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Tranche prior to the end of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Tranche is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period
such Tranche shall be converted to an ABR Tranche.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has

repaid, each Eurodollar Tranche shall be converted to an ABR Tranche at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

to the Lender from time to time hereunder.

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

Section 2.05      Prepayment of Loans.

prepayment.  Each partial prepayment of any (A) Eurodollar Tranche, shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$250,000 and not less than $2,000,000 and (B) ABR Tranche, shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000
and not less than $1,000,000, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of
a Tranche shall be applied ratably to the Loan included in the prepaid Tranche.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.07.

Section 2.06      [Intentionally Omitted.]

Section 2.07      Interest.

(a)      ABR Tranches shall bear interest at the Alternate Base.

(b)      Eurodollar Tranches shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Tranche plus
the Applicable Rate then in effect.

(c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on the Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of the Loan, 2% plus

portion of the Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Tranche prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Tranche shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)      All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to
the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Lender, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the
Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Lender in determining any interest rates pursuant to this Section 2.07

(f)      Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if, at any time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and
continuing through and including December 21, 2002 (the "Applicable Period"), the Borrower shall enter into one or more agreements
pursuant to which the interest spread on the Revolving Loan or the obligations under the Synthetic Real Property Lease is increased
(any such increase being referred to herein as the "Rate Increase"), then the parties agree that the Lender shall have the right,
upon written notice to the Borrower, to immediately increase the Applicable Rate then in effect by an amount consistent with, and in
parity with, any such Rate Increase; provided, that any such increase or increases in the Applicable Rate pursuant to the provisions
of this sentence shall not be in an aggregate amount in excess of one-half of one percent (.50%) per annum during the Applicable
Period. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that the Lender shall have the
additional right, commencing on December 22, 2002 and continuing on each December 22 thereafter, to increase the Applicable Rate
then in effect by one-quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum.  Any such election by the Lender shall be made by written notice to
the Borrower not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such increase.

Section 2.08      Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Tranche:

(a)      the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that through no fault of the Lender
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)      the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender (as certified
by the Lender in a written certificate delivered to the Borrower setting forth in detail the reasons for the Lender's position) of
making or maintaining the portion of the Loan included in such Tranche for such Interest Period;

then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until
the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Interest Election Request
that requests the conversion of any Tranche to, or continuation of any Tranche as, a Eurodollar Tranche shall be ineffective.

Section 2.09      Increased Costs.

(a)      If any Change in Law shall:

(i)      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, the Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
         Rate); or

(ii)    impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Tranches made
         or maintained by the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Tranche
(or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurodollar Tranche) or to increase the cost to the Lender or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay
to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

(b)      If the Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the Lender's capital or on the capital of the Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement
or the Loan to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration the Lender's policies and the policies of the Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the
Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)      A certificate of the Lender setting forth (i) the amount or amounts (including a description of the method of calculating
such amount or amounts), necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in  or  and
(ii) the applicable Change in Law and other facts that give rise to such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
ten days after receipt thereof.

(d)      Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
the Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender's intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.10      Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Tranche other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of the operation
of Section 2.13), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Tranche other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(c) the failure to convert, continue or prepay all or any portion of the Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant
hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Tranche other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for
the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Tranche, such loss, cost or expense to the Lender
shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the principal amount of the Tranche had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been
applicable to the Tranche, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor
(or, in the case of a failure to convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Tranche),
over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which the Lender
would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks
in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower, shall set forth the method of calculating such amount or amounts and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
ten days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.11      Taxes.(a)         Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if
the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) each recipient of each such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions 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 shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)      The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and any other party hereto within ten days after written demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Lender or other party hereto, as the case may be, on or with respect
to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall set forth in reasonable detail the origin and amount of the payments to be due under
this Section 2.11(c) and such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)      As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
the Lender.

(e)     If the Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority specifically in respect
of Indemnified 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 2.11, 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 the Lender receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the
preceding sentence) specifically in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower had paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, 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 2.11 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender 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 the Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

Section 2.12      Payments Generally.(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any
other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11,
or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time
is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-
off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the
Lender at its offices in New York, New York.  If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b)      If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder.

Section 2.13      Mitigation Obligations.  If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then
the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loan hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender,
such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 2.11, as the case
may be, in the future and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to the Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

first refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase such real property or interest therein.

Section 3.06      Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a)      There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a

the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.07      Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other

accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial

restrictions to which the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that,

the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to
projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Section 3.12      Subsidiaries.  As of the date hereof, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 3.12
hereto.  As of the date hereof, Schedule 3.12 sets forth the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each such Subsidiary,
the percentage of the Borrower's ownership of the outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower,

issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary.  All of the outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary has been
validly issued, are fully paid, and non-assessable.  Except as permitted to be issued or created pursuant to the terms hereof or as

rights) to acquire, and no outstanding securities or instruments convertible into any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary.

Section 3.13      Insurance.  Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers,

carried by businesses engaged in similar activities as the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and located in similar geographic areas in
which the Borrower and the Subsidiaries operate.

Section 3.14      Labor Matters.  As of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.  The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state,
local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any material respect.  All material amounts due from the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and
welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary.

Section 3.15      Solvency.  Immediately following the making of the Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds
of the Loan, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and each Guarantor, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and each
Guarantor will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and each
Guarantor will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become
absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and each Guarantor will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the
business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.  As
used in this Section 3.15, the term "fair value" means the amount at which the applicable assets would change hands between a
willing buyer and a willing seller within a reasonable time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, neither being
under any compulsion to act, with equity to both, and "present fair saleable value" means the amount that may be realized if the
applicable company's aggregate assets are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm's length transaction under present conditions
for the sale of a comparable business enterprises.

Section 3.16      Senior Indebtedness. Pursuant to that certain First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 17, 1998, among
the Borrower, May & Speh, Inc. and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee, the Borrower assumed the obligations of May &
Speh, Inc. under the Subordinated Debt and the Subordinated Debt Documents to the same extent as if the Borrower had been originally
named in the Subordinated Debt Documents as the "Company" (as such term was originally defined in such Subordinated Debt Documents).
The Indebtedness of the Borrower and Acxiom/May & Speh, Inc. arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including with respect to Acxiom/May & Speh, Inc., the Subsidiary Guaranty) constitutes "Senior Indebtedness" under and as
defined in the Subordinated Debt Documents.

Section 3.17      Margin Securities.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary 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 (within the meaning of
Regulations U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used to
purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, in any case
in violation of Regulations U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(c)      To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d)      All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void). 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 and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

(b)      The Lender may, upon notice to, but without the consent of, the Borrower, assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement.  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 the
Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender 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 Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with .

(c)      The Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
"Participant") in all or a portion of the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the
Loan owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue
to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to
Section 9.04(d), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section
2.11, and Section 2.12 to the same extent as if it were a lender hereunder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 9.04(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though
it were a lender hereunder.

(d)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 or Section 2.11 than the Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent.

(e)      The Lender 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 the Lender, 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 the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the
Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05     Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and
in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on
the Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid.  The provisions of Section 2.09,
Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof.

Section 9.06     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute
a single contract.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO
THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER
ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS
OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES
HERETO. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower
and the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07      Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08      Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its
Affiliates 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 obligations at any time owing
by the Lender or Affiliate 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 held by the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have
made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of the Lender under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Lender may have.

Section 9.09      Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)      This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Texas.

(b)     THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDI-TIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SITTING IN DALLAS COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT
OF TEXAS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, 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 TEXAS 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 JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION.

(c)      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 any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9.09(b). 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.

(d)      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 or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.10     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 ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11    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 shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

Section 9.12      Confidentiality.  The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(ii) becomes available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  For the purposes of this
Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any
such information that is available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in
the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of
delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13      Maximum Interest Rate.

(a)     No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate.  If at any time the interest rate
(the "Contract Rate") for any obligation under the Loan Documents shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest
accruing on such obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such
obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest
accrued on such obligation equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such obligation if the Contract Rate
for such obligation had at all times been in effect. As used herein, the term "Maximum Rate" means, at any time with respect to the
Lender, the maximum rate of non-usurious interest under applicable law that the Lender may charge the Borrower. The Maximum Rate
shall be calculated in a manner that takes into account any and all fees, payments, and other charges contracted for, charged, or
received in connection with the Loan Documents that constitute interest under applicable law.  Each change in any interest rate
provided for herein based upon the Maximum Rate resulting from a change in the Maximum Rate shall take effect without notice to the
Borrower at the time of such change in the Maximum Rate.  For purposes of determining the Maximum Rate under Texas law, the
applicable rate ceiling shall be the "indicated rate ceiling" described in, and computed in accordance with Chapter 303 of the Texas
Finance Code, as amended, substituted for a restated, or if permitted by applicable law and effective upon the giving of the notices
required by such Chapter 303 the "quarterly ceiling" or "annualized ceiling" from time to time in effect under such Chapter 303,
whichever the Lender shall elect to substitute for the "indicated rate ceiling."

(b)      No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law.  If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so
provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern
and prevail and neither the Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of the Borrower shall be obligated to pay
the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant
hereto. In the event the Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess
of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the obligations
outstanding hereunder, and, if the principal of the obligations outstanding hereunder has been paid in full, any remaining excess
shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
Borrower and the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the
obligations outstanding hereunder so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

(c)      The provisions of Chapter 346 of the Finance Code of Texas are specifically declared by the parties hereto not to be
applicable to this Agreement  or to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.14      Intercompany Subordination.

(a)      The Borrower agrees that the Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below) shall be subordinate and junior in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) as herein provided. The Subordinated Indebtedness
shall not be payable, and no payment of principal, interest or other amounts on account thereof, and no property or guarantee of any
nature to secure or pay the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made or given, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any
Guarantor or received, accepted, retained or applied by the Borrower unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid
in full in cash; except that prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantor shall have the right to
make payments, and the Borrower shall have the right to receive payments on the Subordinated Indebtedness from time to time as may
be determined by the Borrower.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no payments of principal,
interest or other amounts may be made or given, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Guarantor or received, accepted,
retained or applied by the Borrower unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash. If any sums shall
be paid to the Borrower by any Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness when such payment is not
permitted hereunder, such sums shall be held in trust by the Borrower for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to
and applied by the Lender against the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms hereof.  For purposes of this Section 9.14,
the term (i) "Subordinated Indebtedness" means, with respect to a Guarantor, all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of such
Guarantor to the Borrower, whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or
are direct, indirect, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such
indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations are evidenced by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the
Person or Persons in whose favor such indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter
be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by the Borrower and (ii) "Senior Indebtedness" means,
with respect to each Guarantor, all of the obligations, indebtedness and liability of the such Guarantor to the Lender, arising
pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether direct,
indirect, related, unrelated, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, including, without
limitation, any and all post-petition interest and expenses (including attorneys' fees) whether or not allowed under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, or other similar law.

(b)      The Borrower agrees that any and all Liens (including any judgment liens), upon any Guarantor's assets securing payment of
any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any and all Liens upon any Guarantor's assets securing
payment of the Senior Indebtedness or any part thereof, regardless of whether such Liens in favor of the Borrower or the Lender
presently exist or are hereafter created or attached.  Without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower shall not
(i) file suit against any Guarantor or exercise or enforce any other creditor's right it may have against any Guarantor, or
(ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise,
including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's relief or
insolvency proceeding) to enforce any obligations of any Guarantor to the Borrower or any Liens held by the Borrower on assets of
any Guarantor.

(c)     In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency proceeding
involving any Guarantor as debtor, the Lender shall have the right to prove and vote any claim under the Subordinated Indebtedness
and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends, distributions, and payments made in
respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash. The Lender may apply any such
dividends, distributions, and payments against the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d)      The Borrower agrees that all promissory notes and other instruments evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness shall contain a
specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Section 9.14.

Section 9.15      Intercreditor Agreement.  The rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents are subject in all respects to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and this Section 9.15 shall control regarding any conflicts herein including provisions which
state "notwithstanding anything to the contrary" or any such similar language.

                                                 Form of Opinion of Borrower's Counsel

                                                          September 21, 2001

         Re:      The Term Credit Agreement dated as of September 21, 2001 (the "Agreement") between Acxiom Corporation, a Delaware
                  corporation (the "Company") and The Chase Manhattan Bank (the "Lender")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We are special counsel to the Company.  As such, we have been asked to render to you the opinion set forth below relating to
the Agreement.  This opinion is given pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(vii) of the Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein, not
otherwise defined, have the meanings given them in the Agreement.  The Agreement, the Term Note and the Subsidiary Guaranty are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents."

         To enable us to render this opinion, we have reviewed originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction) of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company and each Guarantor, the Loan Documents, the records of
proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company and each Guarantor, and such other documents, corporate records and
certificates of public officials as we have considered appropriate.

         For purposes of this opinion, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent investigation or inquiry that:

                  (i)      all signatures of the Lender on the Loan Documents that we examined are genuine, the Loan Documents
         submitted to us as originals are authentic, and the Loan Documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original Loan
         Documents executed by the parties thereto;

                  (ii)     the Loan Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed, delivered and accepted by all parties
         thereto (other than the Company and each Guarantor) and all parties thereto (other than the Company and each Guarantor)
         have all requisite power and authority to make and enter into the Loan Documents and perform their obligations thereunder
         pursuant to the laws of all relevant jurisdictions;

                  (iii)  the Lender has its principal place of business, chief executive office and domicile outside of the State of
        Arkansas; all substantive negotiations relating to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents have taken place
        outside the State of Arkansas, either in person or by telephone conferences between your representatives in the States of
        Texas and New York and representatives of the Company in the State of Arkansas; the closing of the transactions contemplated
        by, the delivery by the Company and each Guarantor and the acceptance by the Lender or its counsel of the Loan Documents
        occurred in the State of Texas; the administration of and delivery and acceptance of payments pursuant to the Loan Documents
        will take place in the State of New York; the choice of law as provided for in the Loan Documents is valid pursuant to the
        conflict of laws principles under the laws of any and all jurisdictions governing the same (other than the State of
        Arkansas) specifically including the laws of the State of Texas; and, the parties to the Loan Documents have voluntarily
        chosen to have the laws of the State of Texas govern the Loan Documents;

                  (iv)     the Loan Documents were entered into in good faith and for adequate consideration; and

                  (v)      the Lender will exercise its rights, remedies and benefits under the Loan Documents in a commercially
         reasonably manner.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

         1.       The Company and each Guarantor organized under the laws of the States of either Arkansas or Delaware (collectively
the "Loan Parties") has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its
incorporation or organization as reflected in the Agreement.

         2.      Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action,
and the Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party who is a party thereto.

         3.      The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the performance by each Loan Party that is a party thereto of
their respective terms, do not conflict with or result in a violation of law, rule or regulation, the Certificate of Incorporation
or By-Laws of any Loan Party, or of any agreement, instrument, order, writ, judgment or decree known to us to which any Loan Party
is a party or is subject.

         4.       A court of the State of Arkansas presented with the facts, as we have assumed them, and properly applying the
current conflict of law principles, would honor the choice of law provisions as set forth in the Loan Documents and would not apply
the substantive laws of the State of Arkansas, including usury laws to the Loan Documents, except for certain issues necessarily
governed by Arkansas law such as title to properties and remedies and procedures for enforcement in Arkansas.

         5.       No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any governmental authority is required in
connection with the execution and delivery by any Loan Party of Loan Documents to which it is a party.

         6.      To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company
or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any
Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         7.      The execution and delivery by the Company and each Guarantor of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed
by it, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the performance of the terms and provisions of the
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Company and the Guarantors will not involve any violations of Regulation T, U or X or
any other rule or regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Section 7 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

         8.     The Company is not an investment company, or a person directly or indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf of an
investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         9.       The Indebtedness arising under the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitutes
"Senior Indebtedness" under and as defined in the Subordinated Debt Documents.

                                                                  to

                                                          GUARANTY AGREEMENT
                                                            (Subsidiaries)

         WHEREAS, ACXIOM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower") has entered into that certain Term Credit Agreement
dated as of September 21, 2001, between the Borrower and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK (the "Lender") (such Term Credit Agreement, as it
may hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the "Credit Agreement", and
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Credit Agreement);

         WHEREAS, the execution of this Guaranty Agreement is a condition to the Lender's obligations under the Credit Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the
undersigned Subsidiaries and any Subsidiary hereafter added as a "Guarantor" hereto pursuant to a Subsidiary Joinder Agreement in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (individually a "Guarantor" and collectively the "Guarantors"), hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees to the Lender and its Affiliates the full and prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness (hereinafter defined), this Guaranty Agreement being upon the following terms:

1.       The term "Guaranteed Indebtedness", as used herein means all of the obligations, indebtedness and liability of the Borrower
to the Lender arising pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pursuant to any interest rate protection Hedging Agreement entered into
by the Lender or any of its Affiliates with the Borrower to hedge or mitigate interest rate risk on the Loans, whether now existing
or hereafter arising, whether direct, indirect, related, unrelated, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or
joint and several, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan, interest on the Loan and all
fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) provided for in the Loan Documents or such interest rate
protection Hedging Agreements. The "Guaranteed Indebtedness" shall include any and all post-petition interest and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) whether or not allowed under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law; provided that the
Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be limited, with respect to each Guarantor, to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that
would not render such Guarantor's obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 544 or 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state law relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances.

2.       The Guarantors together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and
equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty Agreement.  Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is
made by a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement (a "Funding Guarantor") that exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below), that
Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the amount of such other
Contributing Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below), with the result that all such contributions will cause each
Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair Share.  "Fair Share" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as
defined below) with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all
Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding
Guarantors under this Guaranty Agreement in respect of the obligations guarantied.  "Fair Share Shortfall" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Contributing Guarantor over
the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing Guarantor.  "Adjusted Maximum Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as
of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty
Agreement determined in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the "Adjusted
Maximum Amount" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this paragraph 2, the assets or liabilities arising by
virtue of any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the
aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this
Guaranty Agreement (including, without limitation, in respect of this paragraph 2).  The amounts payable as contributions hereunder
shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor.  The
allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this paragraph 2 shall not be construed in any way to
limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder.

3.      This instrument shall be an absolute, continuing, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and not
a guaranty of collection, and each Guarantor shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until the payment and performance in
full of the Guaranteed Indebtedness.  No set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any
defense of any kind or nature which the Borrower may have against the Lender or any other party, or which any Guarantor may have
against the Borrower, the Lender or any other party, shall be available to, or shall be asserted by, any Guarantor against the
Lender or any subsequent holder of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any part thereof or against payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness
or any part thereof.

4.       If a Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to the Lender by endorsement or otherwise, other than
under this Guaranty Agreement, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of the Lender
hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against such Guarantor.  The exercise by the
Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or
subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

5.       In the event of default by the Borrower in payment or performance of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, or any part thereof, when
such Guaranteed Indebtedness becomes due, whether by its terms, by acceleration, or otherwise, the Guarantors shall, jointly and
severally, promptly pay the amount due thereon to the Lender, without notice or demand, in lawful currency of the United States of
America, and it shall not be necessary for the Lender, in order to enforce such payment by any Guarantor, first to institute suit or
exhaust its remedies against the Borrower or others liable on such Guaranteed Indebtedness, or to enforce any rights against any
collateral which shall ever have been given to secure such Guaranteed Indebtedness.  In the event such payment is made by a
Guarantor, then such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights then held by the Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Indebtedness
to the extent to which the Guaranteed Indebtedness was discharged by such Guarantor and, in addition, upon payment by such Guarantor
of any sums to the Lender hereunder, all rights of such Guarantor against Borrower, any other guarantor or any collateral arising as
a result therefrom by way of right of subrogation, reimbursement, or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Indebtedness.  All payments received by the Lender
hereunder shall be applied by the Lender to payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness in the following order unless a court of
competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct:

(a)      FIRST, to payment of all costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with the collection and enforcement of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness;

(b)      SECOND, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Indebtedness constituting accrued and unpaid interest and fees, pro
rata among the Lender and its Affiliates in accordance with the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and fees owing to each of
them;

(c)      THIRD, to payment of the principal of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and the net early termination payments and any other
obligations due under any Hedging Agreements guaranteed hereby, pro rata among the Lender and its Affiliates in accordance with the
amount of such principal and such net early termination payments  and other obligations then due and unpaid owing to each of them;
and

(d)     FOURTH, to payment of any Guaranteed Indebtedness (other than the Guaranteed Indebtedness listed above) pro rata among those
parties to whom such Guaranteed Indebtedness is due in accordance with the amounts owing to each of them.

6.       If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Guaranteed Indebtedness is stayed
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the
terms of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Lender.

7.       Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall not be released, discharged,
diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected for any reason or by the occurrence of any event, including, without limitation, one or
more of the following events, whether or not with notice to or the consent of any Guarantor: (a) the taking or accepting of
collateral as security for any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or the release, surrender, exchange, or subordination of any
collateral now or hereafter securing any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (b) any partial release of the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, or the full or partial release of any other guarantor from liability for any or all of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness; (c) any disability of the Borrower, or the dissolution, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or
any other party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (d) any renewal, extension,
modification, waiver, amendment, or rearrangement of any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any instrument, document, or
agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (e) any adjustment, indulgence,
forbearance, waiver, or compromise that may be granted or given by The Lender to the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other party
ever liable for any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (f) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of The Lender to
take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or to foreclose or take or prosecute any
action in connection with any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness; (g) the unenforceability or invalidity of any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or of any instrument,
document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (h) any payment by
the Borrower or any other party to The Lender is held to constitute a preference under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if
for any other reason The Lender is required to refund any payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else; (i) the settlement or
compromise of any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (j) the non-perfection of any security interest or lien securing any or all of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness; (k) any impairment of any collateral securing any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (l) the failure of
The Lender to sell any collateral securing any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness in a commercially reasonable manner or as
otherwise required by law; (m) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of the Borrower; or (n) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or any other Guarantor (other
than payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness).

8.       Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

(a)             All representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement relating to it are true and correct as of the date hereof
and on each date the representations and warranties hereunder are restated pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with the same force
and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date except to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate specifically to another date.

(b)               It has, independently and without reliance upon the Lender and based upon such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

(c)               It has adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning the financial
condition and assets of Borrower and it is not relying upon the Lender to provide (and the Lender shall not have any duty to
provide) any such information to it either now or in the future.

(d)               The value of the consideration received and to be received by each Guarantor as a result of the Borrower's and the
Lender's entering into the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor's executing and delivering this Guaranty Agreement is reasonably
worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of each Guarantor hereunder, and such liability and obligation and the Credit
Agreement have benefited and may reasonably be expected to benefit each Guarantor directly or indirectly.

9.       Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, as long as the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any part thereof is outstanding or the
Lender has any commitment under the Credit Agreement, it will comply with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement
specifically applicable to it.

10.     When an Event of Default exists, the Lender shall have the right to set-off and apply against this Guaranty Agreement or the
Guaranteed Indebtedness or both, at any time and without notice to any Guarantor, any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, but excluding any account established by a Guarantor as a fiduciary for another party) or other sums
at any time credited by or owing from the Lender to any Guarantor whether or not the Guaranteed Indebtedness is then due and
irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty Agreement.  The Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.  The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have.

11.      (a)  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below) shall be subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Guaranteed Indebtedness as herein provided. The Subordinated Indebtedness shall
not be payable, and no payment of principal, interest or other amounts on account thereof, and no property or guarantee of any
nature to secure or pay the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made or given, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any Debtor
(hereafter defined) or received, accepted, retained or applied by any Guarantor unless and until the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall
have been paid in full in cash; except that prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Debtor shall have
the right to make payments and a Guarantor shall have the right to receive payments on the Subordinated Indebtedness from time to
time as may be determined by the Borrower.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no payments of
principal or interest may be made or given, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Debtor or received, accepted, retained or
applied by any Guarantor unless and until the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash.  If any sums shall be
paid to a Guarantor by any Debtor or any other Person on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness when such payment is not permitted
hereunder, such sums shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the
Lender and applied by the Lender against the Guaranteed Indebtedness in accordance with this Guaranty Agreement. For purposes of
this Guaranty Agreement and with respect to a Guarantor, the term "Subordinated Indebtedness" means all indebtedness, liabilities,
and obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor (the Borrower and such other Guarantor herein the "Debtors") to such Guarantor,
whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or are direct, indirect,
contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such indebtedness,
liabilities, or obligations are evidenced by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons
in whose favor such indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or
the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by such Guarantor.

                  (b)......Each Guarantor agrees that any and all Liens (including any judgment liens), upon any Debtor's assets
securing payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any and all Liens upon any
Debtor's assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any part thereof, regardless of whether such Liens in favor of a
Guarantor or the Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attached.  Without the prior written consent of the Lender, no
Guarantor shall (i) file suit against any Debtor or exercise or enforce any other creditor's right it may have against any Debtor,
or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise,
including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's relief or
insolvency proceeding) to enforce any obligations of any Debtor to such Guarantor or any Liens held by such Guarantor on assets of
any Debtor.

                  (c)......In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, debtor's relief, or other
insolvency proceeding involving any Debtor as debtor, the Lender shall have the right to prove and vote any claim under the
Subordinated Indebtedness and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends, distributions,
and payments made in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash.  The
Lender may apply any such dividends, distributions, and payments against the Guaranteed Indebtedness in accordance with the Credit
Agreement.

                 (d)......Each Guarantor agrees that all promissory notes and other instruments evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness
shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this
Guaranty Agreement.

12.      Except for modifications made pursuant to the execution and delivery of a Subsidiary Joinder Agreement (which needs to be
signed only by the Subsidiary party thereto), no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty Agreement or consent to any
departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required
Lenders except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement.  No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
or privilege.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

13.      To the extent permitted by law, any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise
and whether by the Borrower or others (including any Guarantor), with respect to any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall, if the
statute of limitations in favor of a Guarantor against the Lender shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of
limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of
limitations.

14.      This Guaranty Agreement is for the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment
of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness
so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness.  This Guaranty Agreement is binding not only on each Guarantor, but on each
Guarantor's successors and assigns.

15.      Each Guarantor recognizes that the Lender is relying upon this Guaranty Agreement and the undertakings of each Guarantor
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which each is a party in making extensions of credit to the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement and further recognizes that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which each Guarantor is a party is a material inducement to the Lender in entering into the Credit Agreement and extending credit
thereunder.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that there are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty Agreement or
any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

16.      Any notice or demand to any Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document to
which it is a party shall be deemed effective if given to the Guarantor, care of the Borrower in accordance with the notice
provisions in the Credit Agreement.

17.     The Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, pay on demand all reasonable attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the administration, enforcement, or collection of this Guaranty Agreement.

18.      Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence,
notice of any default under the Guaranteed Indebtedness, demand of payment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement,
presentment, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of the incurring by the Borrower of additional indebtedness, and all
other notices and demands with respect to the Guaranteed Indebtedness and this Guaranty Agreement.

19.      The Credit Agreement, and all of the terms thereof, are incorporated herein by reference, the same as if stated verbatim
herein, and each Guarantor agrees that the Lender may exercise any and all rights granted to it under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty Agreement.

20.      THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT EMBODIES THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF EACH GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER WITH RESPECT TO EACH
GUARANTOR'S GUARANTY OF THE GUARANTEED INDEBTEDNESS AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND
UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.  THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT IS INTENDED BY EACH
GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER AS A FINAL AND COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF THE TERMS OF THE GUARANTY AGREEMENT, AND NO COURSE OF DEALING AMONG
ANY GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER, NO COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, NO TRADE PRACTICES, AND NO EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OR OTHER EXTRINSIC EVIDENCE OF ANY NATURE SHALL BE USED TO CONTRADICT, VARY, SUPPLEMENT OR MODIFY ANY
TERM OF THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT.  THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG ANY GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER.

21.      This Guaranty Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas and
applicable laws of the United States of America. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SITTING IN DALLAS COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE GUARANTORS
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN SUCH TEXAS STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AGREES THAT A FINAL
JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE
LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST A
GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. Each Guarantor 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 Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to
in this paragraph 21.  Each of the Guarantors 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.

22.      EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH GUARANTOR (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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

         EXECUTED as of the 21st day of September, 2001.

                                                     SUBSIDIARY JOINDER AGREEMENT

         Re:     Forward Share Purchase Transactions (Chase Reference Nos. 1364/402223A, 1388/402408A and 402639A, collectively, the
                 "Forward Transactions")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         The purpose of this letter agreement (the "Termination Agreement") is to set forth the terms of the termination of the
Forward Transactions entered into between The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") and Acxiom Corporation ("Acxiom").

         In consideration of (i) the payment by Acxiom to Chase of $[         ] in immediately available funds on the date hereof
(representing the aggregate Notional Amount under the Forward Transactions of $64,168,598 plus accrued interest of $[  ]) and (ii)
the delivery by Chase (or an affiliate thereof) to Acxiom of 3,739,900 Shares (as such number may adjusted pursuant to the Forward
Transactions) three Exchange Business Days after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree that, effective as of the date hereof,
each of the Forward Transactions shall be terminated and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party thereunder;
provided, however, that the provisions of Section 8.05 of each of the Forward Transactions shall survive the termination of the
Forward Transactions hereunder. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms under the Forward
Transactions.

         Each of Acxiom and Chase represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Termination Agreement
has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, on the part of it.

         This Termination Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State (without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions
therein).

         Please confirm that you are in agreement with the above by signing and faxing  this letter to Steven Shipley at the address
specified on the letterhead.

                                                     Yours sincerely,

                                                     THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK

         in a sale and leaseback transaction unless fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds received in
         connection with such financing are treated by the Borrower as Net Proceeds from an asset
         disposition and applied as required by Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement."

and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the parties

the Holders and the Lenders shall be entitled to participate in a refinancing under this Section 3.5(a).
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary set forth above, in the event a Holder or a Lender elects to
participate in the above refinancing, such Holder's Certificates and Lender's Notes and corresponding Holder
Advances and Loans, will not be redeemed and reissued, but instead shall be deemed to have the same rights and
have been issued under the same terms (including tenor) as the Certificates and Notes issued in connection with
such refinancing.

         (b)      If requested in writing by the Lessee concurrently with Lessee's Refinancing Request the Agent
agrees, upon the Lessee's entering into an engagement letter and term sheet with the Agent within 30 days of such
notice and the receipt by the Agent of engagement, structuring and syndication fees, in each case, satisfactory
to the Agent, to use commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with the terms of such engagement letter and
term sheet, to refinance on a syndicated basis the outstanding Holder Advances and outstanding principal balance

         the Lessor as Holder Advances by the Holders, the Lessor will use such funds from time to time in

                  (b)      In lieu of the payment of interest on the Loans and Holder Yield on the Holder

         the Rent Commencement Date with respect to such Property and subject to Section 5.11 and until such time
         as a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) each Lender's Loan shall
         automatically be increased by the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on such Loan for such period
         (except to the extent that at any time such increase would cause such Lender's Loan to exceed such

         Lessee shall pay such excess amount to such Holder in immediately available funds on the date the
         Available Holder Commitment of such Holder was exceeded).  Such increases in a Lender's Loan and a
         Holder's Holder Advance shall occur without any disbursement of funds by any Person.

         Payment Date in the amount of such Unused Fee (except to the extent that at any time such Loan would
         cause such Lender to exceed its Available Commitment, in which case, the Lessee shall pay such excess
         amount to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date such Lender's Available Commitment was
         exceeded) and (ii) each Holder shall be deemed automatically to have made a Holder Advance on the Unused
         Fee Payment Date in the amount of such Unused Fee (except to the extent that at any time such increase
         would cause the Holder Advance of such Holder to exceed its Available Holder Commitment, in which case
         the Lessee shall pay such excess amount to such Holder in immediately available funds on the date such
         Holder's Available Holder Commitment is exceeded).  Such increases in a Lender's Loan and a Holder's
         Holder Advance shall occur without disbursement of funds by any Person.

                  (a)      The Construction Agent shall designate the date for Advances hereunder in accordance

         the Lessor for the payment of Transaction Expenses, Property Acquisition Costs (in the case of an

         previously been incurred or are to be incurred on the date of such Advance to the extent such were not
         subject to a prior Requisition, in each case as specified in the Requisition.  The Construction Agent
         shall be solely responsible for completing the Requisition in accordance with the terms hereof and the
         Agent shall have no obligation to verify the accuracy of the information provided therein.

                  (c)      Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.3 or

         of the City of Little Rock, to pay Property Costs with respect to the Little Rock Property within three
         (3) Business Days of the receipt by Bond Trustee of such amounts.  Notwithstanding that the Operative
         Agreements state that Advances shall be directed to the Lessor, each Advance shall in fact be directed
         to the Construction Agent (for the benefit of the Lessor (or, with respect to the Little Rock Property,
         the Bond Trustee, for the benefit of the City of Little Rock)) and applied by the Construction Agent
         (for the benefit of the Lessor (or, with respect to the Little Rock Property, applied by the Bond

         shall be held by the Lessor (or the Agent on behalf of the Lessor) until the applicable closing date or
         payment date or, if such closing date or payment date does not occur within three (3) Business Days of
         the date of the Lessor's receipt of such Advance, shall be applied regarding the applicable Advance to

         applied by the Bond Trustee to repay the Series 2000-B Bond issued with respect to such amount (and such
         Series 2000-B Bond shall be surrendered and cancelled upon such repayment) and the Series 2000-B Bond
         Purchaser shall repay the applicable Bond Loan and in turn the Lessor shall apply such amount to repay
         the Lenders and the Holders for the applicable Advances, and subject to the terms hereof and of the
         Credit Agreement and the Trust Agreement, shall remain available for future Advances.  Any such amounts
         held by the Lessor, the Series 2000-B Bond Purchaser or the Bond Trustee (or the Agent on behalf of any

         Yield from the date any such amount is advanced to the Agent.

                  (e)      All Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents which are to be
         delivered to the Lessor, the Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders shall be delivered to the

                  (f)      Notwithstanding  the  completion  of  any  closing  under  this  Agreement  pursuant  to
         Sections 5.3 or 5.4,  each  condition  precedent in connection  with any such closing may be  subsequently

         the Agent shall have reasonably requested.

         5.9.     Special Provision Regarding the Little Rock Property.

         The parties hereto agree that for purposes of the Operative Agreements, any Advance requested by the
Construction Agent under a Requisition to fund Property Costs (other than for Transaction Expenses) by the
Holders and the Lenders and any payment of Property Costs by the Lessor from such Advance, shall be deemed to

attached hereto, whenever any payment under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreements shall be stated to
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and

                  set forth as title exceptions on the title commitment issued under Section 5.3(g) with respect
                  to the applicable Property, to the extent such title commitment has been approved by the

                  by the Mortgage Instrument in the real property described therein shall be a perfected first
                  priority mortgage Lien on such real property (or, in the case of the Head Lease or a Ground
                  Lease, on the leasehold estate under the Head Lease or such Ground Lease, as the case may be)
                  in favor of the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Holders, as their

                  priority security interests in such personal property in favor of the Agent, for the ratable
                  benefit of the Lenders and the Holders, as their respective interests appear in the Operative
                  Agreements;

                           (ii)     The Lease Agreement creates, as security for the obligations of the Lessee
                  under the Lease Agreement, valid and enforceable security interests in, and Liens on, each
                  Property leased thereunder, in favor of the Lessor, and such security interests and Liens are
                  subject to no other Liens other than Liens that are expressly set forth as title exceptions on
                  the title commitment issued under Section 5.3(g) with respect to the applicable Property, to
                  the extent such title commitment has been approved by the Agent.  Upon recordation of the
                  memorandum of the Lease Agreement and the memorandum of a Ground Lease (or, in either case, a
                  short form lease) in the real estate recording office in the applicable Approved State
                  identified by the Construction Agent or the Lessee, the Lien created by the Lease Agreement in
                  the real property described therein shall be a perfected first priority mortgage Lien (subject
                  to the Lien of the Mortgage Instrument referenced in Section 6.2(r)(i)) on such real property
                  (or, in the case of the Head Lease or a Ground Lease, the leasehold estate under the  Head
                  Lease or Ground Lease) in favor of the Lessor.  To the extent that the security interests in
                  the portion of any Property comprised of personal property can be perfected by the filing in

                  Agent or the Lessee upon filing of the Lessor Financing Statements in such filing offices, a
                  security interest created by the Lease Agreement shall be perfected first priority security
                  interests in such personal property in favor of the Lessor, which rights pursuant to the Lessor
                  Financing Statements are assigned to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the
                  Holders, as their respective interests appear in the Operative Agreements;

                           (iii)    the Bond Indenture creates, as security for the City of Little Rock's
                  obligations under the Bond Documents, valid and enforceable security interests in, and Liens
                  on, the Bond Trust Estate, in favor of the Bond Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2000-B
                  Bond Purchaser, and such security interest and Liens are subject to no other Liens (and are
                  specifically subordinate to the rights of the Lessor under the Head Lease) other than Liens
                  which are expressly set forth as title exceptions on the title commitment issued under 5.3(g)
                  with respect to the Little Rock Property, to the extent such commitment has been approved by
                  the Agent.  Upon recordation of the Bond Indenture in the real estate records of the Circuit
                  Clerk and Ex-officio Recorder of Pulaski County, Arkansas, the Lien created by the Bond
                  Indenture in the real property described therein shall be a perfected mortgage Lien on such
                  real property in favor of the Bond Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2000-B Bond
                  Purchaser.  To the extent that security interests in the portion of the Bond Trust Estate
                  comprised of personal property can be perfected by filing in the filing offices of the State of
                  Arkansas or elsewhere identified by the Construction Agent or the Lessee, upon filing of the
                  Bond Financing Statements in such filing offices, the security interests created by the Bond
                  Indenture shall be perfected in such personal property, subject only to the prior rights of the
                  Lessor under the Head Lease, in favor of the Bond Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2000-B
                  Bond Purchaser.

                           (iv)     The Assignments create, as security for the Series 2000-B Bond Purchaser's
                  obligations under the Bond Loan Note and in consideration of removing the Series 2000-A Bond
                  Purchaser as a Guarantor of the Lessee's obligations under the Operative Agreements, a valid
                  and enforceable assignment of the Series 2000-A Bond Purchaser's and Series 2000-B Bond
                  Purchaser's rights under the Bond Documents.  Other than taking an assignment of Series 2000-B
                  Bonds pursuant to the Series 2000-B Assignment, no other steps are necessary in order for the
                  Agent to perfect its security interest in the Bond Documents created by the Bond Loan Security
                  Agreement.

                           (v)      The Head Lease creates a valid and good and  marketable  leasehold  interest in
                  the Little Rock Property enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                  (s)      The Plans and Specifications for each Property will be prepared prior to the
         commencement of construction in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including without
         limitation all applicable Environmental Laws and building, planning, zoning and fire codes), except to
         the extent the failure to comply therewith, individually or in the aggregate, shall not have and could
         not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Upon completion of the Improvements for
         each Property in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications, such Improvements will be
         within any building restriction lines and will not encroach in any manner onto any adjoining land
         (except as permitted by express written easements, which have been approved by the Agent);

                  (t)      As of the Rent Commencement Date only, each Property shall be improved in accordance
         with the applicable Plans and Specifications in a good and workmanlike manner and shall be operational;

                  (u)      As of the Initial Closing Date, each Significant Subsidiary (formed prior to or on
         such date) shall have executed this Agreement in its capacity as a Guarantor;

                  (v)      As of each Property Closing Date only, each Property has been acquired or ground
         leased pursuant to a Ground Lease at a price that is not in excess of fair market value or fair market
         rental value, as the case may be;


SECTION 6B.  GUARANTY

         6B.1.    Guaranty of Payment and Performance.

         Subject to Section 6B.7, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to
each Financing Party the prompt payment and performance of the Company Obligations in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) or when such is otherwise to be
performed; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 6B shall
not constitute a direct guaranty of the indebtedness of the Lessor evidenced by the Notes but rather a guaranty
of the Company Obligations arising under the Operative Agreements and the Bond Documents.  This Section 6B is a
guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all
Company Obligations whenever arising.  All rights granted to the Financing Parties under this Section 6B shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(h) and 8.6.

         6B.2.    Obligations Unconditional.

         Each Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Operative Agreements
or the Bond Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or
exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Company Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety, guarantor or co-obligor, it being the intent of this Section
6B.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances.  Each Guarantor agrees that this Section 6B may be enforced by the Financing Parties without the
necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at
any time of having recourse to the Notes, the Certificates, any other of the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan
Documents, the Bond Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Company Obligations or otherwise
and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Financing Parties to proceed against the Construction
Agent, the Lessee or any other Person (including without limitation a co-guarantor) or to require the Financing
Parties to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  Each Guarantor further agrees that it hereby
waives any and all right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Lessee and the
Construction Agent or any other Guarantor of the Company Obligations for amounts paid under this Section 6B until
such time as the Loans, Holder Advances, accrued but unpaid interest, accrued but unpaid Holder Yield and all
other amounts owing under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full.  Without limiting the generality of
the waiver provisions of this Section 6B, each Guarantor hereby waives any rights to require the Financing
Parties to proceed against the Construction Agent, the Lessee or any co-guarantor or to require Lessor to pursue
any other remedy or enforce any other right, including without limitation, any and all rights under N.C. Gen.
Stat. § 26-7 through 26-9.  Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Financing Parties from suing on any Operative Agreement, Bond Loan Document or Bond Document or foreclosing any
security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Company Obligations or from exercising any
other rights available to it under any Operative Agreement, Bond Loan Document or Bond Document or any other
instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any
foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder; it being the
purpose and intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and
unconditional under any and all circumstances; provided that any amounts due under this Section 6B which are paid
to or for the benefit of any Financing Party shall reduce the Company Obligations by a corresponding amount
(unless required to be rescinded at a later date).  Neither any Guarantor's obligations under this Section 6B nor
any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever
by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Construction Agent or the
Lessee or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Construction Agent or the Lessee.  Each Guarantor
waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Company Obligations and
notice of or proof of reliance by any Financing Party upon this Section 6B or acceptance of this Section 6B.  The
Company Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,
extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Section 6B.  All dealings between the Construction Agent, the
Lessee and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Financing Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall
be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Section 6B.

         6B.3.    Modifications.

         Each Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security now or hereafter held for the Company
Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) no Financing Party shall
have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now
or hereafter held, if any, for the Company Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place
of payment of the Company Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or
otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Construction Agent, the Lessee and any
other party liable for payment under the Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents may be
granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Notes, the Certificates, any of the other
Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan Documents or the Bond Documents may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any
party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and
(g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Construction Agent, the Lessee or any other party liable for the
payment of the Company Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at,
before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Company Obligations, all without notice to or
further assent by such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange,
compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

         6B.4.    Waiver of Rights.

         Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:  (a) notice of
acceptance of this Section 6B by any Financing Party and of all extensions of credit or other Advances to the
Construction Agent and the Lessee by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Operative Agreements; (b)
presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Company Obligations; (c) protest and notice of
dishonor or of default with respect to the Company Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d)
notice of any Financing Party obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security
interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Company Obligations, or any Financing Party's
subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; and
(e) all other notices to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, each Guarantor's payments hereunder shall immediately be due after written demand by the Agent
for such payment (unless the Company Obligations are automatically accelerated pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Operative Agreements in which case the Guarantors' payments shall be automatically due).

         6B.5.    Reinstatement.

         The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 6B shall be automatically reinstated if and to the
extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Company Obligations is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Company Obligations, whether as a result of
any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify
each Financing Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees of counsel) incurred by any Financing Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including
without limitation any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment
constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

         6B.6.    Remedies.

         The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and each Financing Party, on the
other hand, the Company Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the applicable
provisions of the Operative Agreements (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided therein) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing such Company Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any
other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Company Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), such Company Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person)

         6B.7.    Limitation of Guaranty.

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Operative

fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the
maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including without
limitation the Bankruptcy Code).

         Subject to Section 6B.5, upon the satisfaction of the Company Obligations in full, regardless of the
source of payment, the Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall be deemed satisfied, discharged and terminated
other than indemnifications set forth herein that expressly survive.

         6B.8.    Payment of Amounts to the Agent.

         Each Financing Party hereby instructs each Guarantor, and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees,
that until such time as the Loans and the Holder Advances are paid in full and the Liens evidenced by the
Security Agreement and the Mortgage Instruments have been released any and all Rent (excluding Excepted Payments
which shall be payable to each Holder or other Person as appropriate) and any and all other amounts of any kind
or type under any of the Operative Agreements due and owing or payable to any Person shall instead be paid

appropriate) or as the Agent or the Majority Secured Parties may direct from time to time for allocation and

         Each Financing Party hereby agrees that (a) the Agent or the Majority Secured Parties shall be permitted
to release any Guarantor from its guaranty obligations under this Section 6B without the consent of any other
Financing Party if the release is granted in connection with a disposition by the applicable Credit Party of all
the shares of stock or partnership or other equity interest in such Guarantor and such disposition is permitted
pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements and the Lessee Credit Agreement and (b) the
Agent or the Majority Secured Parties shall be permitted to release any Guarantor from its guaranty obligations

         with such Subsidiary becoming "Guarantor" thereunder.

                  (o)      Each Credit Party shall promptly notify the Agent, or cause the Agent to be promptly
         notified, upon such Credit Party gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
         which is continuing at such time.  In any event, such notice shall be provided to the Agent within
         five (5) days of when such Credit Party gains such knowledge.

                  (p)      Until all of the obligations under the Operative Agreements have been finally and

                  described in this Section 8.3(p)(ii) in good faith so long as adequate reserves are maintained
                  with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP;

                           (iii)    to the extent failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect, observe

                  (s)      If the Construction Budget for any Property is ever modified to exceed the amount of

         Construction Agent shall immediately cause an additional endorsement to be issued to increase the amount
         of title insurance to at least equal the amount referenced in the modified Construction Budget.

         8.4.     Sharing of Certain Payments.

         Except for Excepted Payments, the parties hereto  acknowledge and agree that all payments due and owing
by any Credit Party to the Lessor under the Lease or any of the other Operative Agreements shall be made by such
Credit Party directly to the Agent as more particularly provided in Section 8.3 hereof.  The Lessor, the Holders,
the Agent, the Lenders and the Credit Parties acknowledge the terms of Section 8.7 of this Agreement regarding
the allocation of payments and other amounts made or received from time to time under the Operative Agreements
and agree, that all such payments and amounts are to be allocated as provided in Section 8.7 of this Agreement.

         8.5.     Grant of Easements, etc.

         The Agent, the Lenders and the Holders hereby agree that, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the City of Little Rock (with respect to the Little Rock Property), the Bond Trustee,
the Trustee and the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall, from time to time at the request of the Lessee (and
with the prior consent of the Agent and the Majority Secured Parties), in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Construction Agency Agreement, the Lease, the other Operative Agreements or the Bond
Documents, (i) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements with respect to any Property, (ii)
release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of any Property,
(iii) execute and deliver to any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants or releases,
and (iv) execute and deliver to any Person such other documents or materials in connection with the acquisition,
development, construction, testing or operation of any Property, including without limitation reciprocal easement
agreements, construction contracts, operating agreements, development agreements, plats, replats or subdivision
documents; provided, that each of the agreements referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be of the type normally
executed by the Lessee in the ordinary course of the Lessee's business and shall be on commercially reasonable
terms so as not to diminish the value of any Property in any material respect.  The Lessor acknowledges the
Lessee's right to finance and to secure under the Uniform Commercial Code, inventory, furnishings, furniture,
equipment, machinery, leasehold improvements and other personal property located at the Property other than
Equipment which is not in violation of the terms of the Lease, and the Lessor agrees to execute at Lessee's sole
cost and expense any waiver forms and releases of Lessor Liens in favor of any purchase money seller, lessor or
lender which has financed or may finance in the future such items reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the
Agent.  Without limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing, provided that no Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Lessor shall, upon the reasonable request of the Lessee, and at the Lessee's sole
cost and expense, execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate and reasonably acceptable to the
Lessor and the Agent to confirm any such grant, release, dedication, transfer, annexation or amendment to any
Person permitted under this Section 8.5 including landlord waivers with respect to any of the foregoing.

         8.6.     Appointment by the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and the Owner Trustee.

         The Holders hereby appoint the Agent to act as collateral agent for the Holders in connection with the
Lien granted by the Security Documents to secure the Holder Amount.  The Lenders and the Holders acknowledge and
agree and direct that the rights and remedies of the beneficiaries of the Lien of the Security Documents shall be
exercised by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Holders as directed from time to time by the Majority
Secured Parties or, pursuant to Sections 8.2(h) and 12.4, all of the Lenders and the Holders, as the case may be;
provided, in all cases, the Agent shall allocate payments and other amounts received in accordance with Section
8.7.  The Agent is further appointed to provide notices under the Operative Agreements on behalf of the Owner
Trustee (as determined by the Agent, in its reasonable discretion), to receive notices under the Operative
Agreements on behalf of the Owner Trustee and (subject to Sections 8.5 and 9.2) to take such other action under
the Operative Agreements on behalf of the Owner Trustee as the Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion
from time to time.  The Agent hereby accepts such appointments.  For purposes hereof, the provisions of Section 7
of the Credit Agreement, together with such other terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements as required for the full interpretation and operation of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement
are hereby incorporated mutatis mutandis by reference as if restated herein for the mutual benefit of the Agent
and each Holder as if each Holder were a Lender thereunder.  Outstanding Holder Advances and outstanding Loans
shall each be taken into account for purposes of determining Majority Secured Parties.  Further, the Agent shall
be entitled to take such action on behalf of the Owner Trustee as is delegated to the Agent under any Operative
Agreement (whether express or implied) as may be reasonably incidental thereto.  The parties hereto hereby agree
to the provisions contained in this Section 8.6.  Any appointment of a successor agent under Section 7.9 of the
Credit Agreement shall also be effective as an appointment of a successor agent for purposes of this Section 8.6.

         8.7.     Collection and Allocation of Payments and Other Amounts.

         payable to any Person and (ii) each Person as appropriate the Excepted Payments.  Promptly after
         receipt, the Agent shall apply and allocate, in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.7, such
         amounts received from any Credit Party and all other payments, receipts and other consideration of any
         kind whatsoever received by the Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise received by the
         Agent, the Holders or any of the Lenders in connection with the Collateral, the Security Documents or
         any of the other Operative Agreements.  Ratable distributions among the Lenders and the Holders under
         this Section 8.7 shall be made based on (in the case of the Lenders) the ratio of the outstanding Loans
         to the aggregate Property Cost and (in the case of the Holders) the ratio of the outstanding Holder
         Advances to the aggregate Property Cost.  Ratable distributions among the Tranche A Lenders under this
         Section 8.7 shall be made based on the ratio of the individual Tranche A Lender's Commitment for Tranche
         A Loans to the aggregate of all the Tranche A Lenders' Commitments for Tranche A Loans. Ratable
         distributions among the Tranche B Lenders under this Section 8.7 shall be made based on the ratio of the
         individual Tranche B Lender's Commitment for Tranche B Loans to the aggregate of all the Tranche B
         Lenders' Commitments for Tranche B Loans.  Ratable distributions among the Lenders (in situations where
         the Tranche A Lenders are not differentiated from the Tranche B Lenders) shall be made based on the
         ratio of the individual Lender's Commitment to the aggregate of all the Lenders' Commitments.  Ratable
         distributions among the Holders under this Section 8.7 shall be based on the ratio of the individual
         Holder's Holder Commitment to the aggregate of all the Holders' Holder Commitments.

                  (b)      Payments and other amounts received by the Agent from time to time in accordance with
         the terms of subparagraph (a) shall be applied and allocated as follows (subject in all cases to Section
         8.7(c)):

                           (i)      Any such payment or amount identified as or deemed to be Basic Rent shall be

                  or Persons as the Lessee may designate; provided, that if a Default or Event of Default is in
                  effect, such excess (if any) shall instead be held by the Agent until the earlier of (I) the
                  first date thereafter on which no Default or Event of Default shall be in effect (in which case
                  such payments or returns shall then be made to such other Person or Persons as the Lessee may
                  designate) and (II) the Maturity Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be (or, if
                  earlier, the date of any Acceleration), in which case such amounts shall be applied and
                  allocated in the manner contemplated by Section 8.7(b)(iv).

                           (ii)     If on any date the Agent or the Lessor shall receive any amount in respect of
                  (A) any Casualty or Condemnation pursuant to Sections 15.1(a) or 15.1(g) of the Lease

                  payment of the Maximum Amount which shall be applied and allocated pursuant to Section
                  8.7(b)(iv)), then in each case, the Lessor shall be required to pay such amount received (1) if

                  allocated by the Agent first, ratably to the payment of the principal and interest of the
                  Tranche B Loans then outstanding, second, ratably to the payment to the Holders of the

                  determine; provided, where no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing and a prepayment
                  is made for any reason with respect to less than the full amount of the outstanding principal
                  amount of the Loans and the outstanding Holder Advances, the proceeds shall be applied and

                  and (C) any other amount payable by any Guarantor pursuant to Section 6B shall be applied and
                  allocated by the Agent first, ratably, to the payment of the principal and interest balance of
                  Tranche A Loans then outstanding, second, ratably to the payment of the principal and interest

                           (v)      An amount equal to any such payment identified as Supplemental Rent shall be

                  Little Rock, the Bond Trustee, the Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and the other
                  parties to the Operative Agreements (or any of them) (other than any such amounts payable
                  pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 8.7(b)) as shall be determined by the
                  Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Supplemental Rent received upon the

                  above.

                  (c)      Upon the payment in full of the Loans, the Holder Advances and all other amounts then
         due and owing by the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Credit Document and the payment in full of all
         other amounts then due and owing to the Lenders, the Holders, the Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee,
         the Bond Trustee and the other Financing Parties pursuant to the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan
         Documents and the Bond Documents, any moneys remaining with the Agent shall be returned to the Lessee.
         It is agreed that, prior to the application and allocation of amounts received by the Agent in the order
         described in Section 8.7(b) above or any distribution of money to the Lessee, any such amounts shall
         first be applied and allocated to the payment of (i) any and all sums advanced by the Agent in order to
         preserve the Collateral or to preserve its Lien thereon, (ii) the expenses of retaking, holding,
         preparing for sale or lease (including any repairing or restoring), selling or otherwise disposing or
         realizing on the Collateral, or of any exercise by the Agent of its rights under the Security Documents,
         together with reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs and (iii) any and all other
         amounts reasonably owed to the Agent under or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
         Operative Agreements (including without limitation any accrued and unpaid administration fees).

interest therein) pursuant to the Lease, or the Construction Agent shall purchase all or a portion of any
Property pursuant to the Construction Agency Agreement, or if any Property (or Lessor's leasehold interest
therein) shall be sold in accordance with Article XXII of the Lease, then, upon satisfaction by the Owner Trustee
of its obligation to prepay the Loans, Holder Advances and all other amounts owing to the Lenders and the Holders
under the Operative Agreements, the Agent is hereby authorized and directed to release such Property from the
Liens created by the Security Documents to the extent of its interest therein.  In addition, upon the termination
of the Commitments and the Holder Commitments and the payment in full of the Loans, the Holder Advances and all
other amounts owing by the Owner Trustee and the Lessee hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement the
Agent is hereby authorized and directed to release all of the Properties from the Liens created by the Security
Documents to the extent of its interest therein.  Upon request of the Owner Trustee following any such release,
the Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee and the
Lessee such documents as the Owner Trustee or the Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

         Each Lender may participate, assign or transfer all or a portion of its interest hereunder and under the
other Operative Agreements in accordance with Sections 9.7 and 9.8 of the Credit Agreement; provided, each
participant, assignee or transferee must obtain the same ratable interest in Tranche A Loans, Tranche A
Commitments, Tranche B Loans and Tranche B Commitments (and to the extent the selling Lender is also a Holder (or
an Affiliate of a Holder), each such participant, assignor or transferee must also obtain the same ratable
interest in and to the Holder Advances, Holder Commitments, the Trust Estate and the Trust Estate (AC
Trust 2000-2); provided further, that each Lender that participates, assigns or transfers all or a portion of its
interest hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements shall deliver to the Agent a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance (as referenced in Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreement) for purposes of maintaining the Register.
The Holders may, directly or indirectly, assign, convey or otherwise transfer (other than for purposes of
security for a non-recourse loan) any of their right, title or interest in or to the Trust Estate or the Trust
Agreement with the prior written consent of the Agent and the Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) and in accordance with the terms of Section 11.8(b) of the Trust Agreement; provided, to the
extent the selling Holder is also a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender), each such assignee, receiver of a
conveyance or other transferee must also obtain the same ratable interest in and to the Tranche A Loans,

the Lessee under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements and to the Lien of the applicable Security
Documents but only with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may be withheld in its discretion)
and (provided, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) with the consent of the Lessee,
directly or indirectly, assign, convey, appoint an agent with respect to enforcement of, or otherwise transfer
any of its right, title or interest in or to any Property, the Lease, the Trust Agreement, the other Operative
Agreements (including without limitation any right to indemnification thereunder) the Bond Loan Documents, the
Bond Documents, or any other document relating to a Property or any interest in a Property as provided in the

obligations of the Owner Trustee to transfer of its rights, title and interest in any Property to the Lessee or a
third party purchaser pursuant to Article XXII of the Lease upon payment for such Property in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Lease.  No Credit Party may assign any of the Operative Agreements or any of their
respective rights or obligations thereunder or with respect to any Property in whole or in part to any Person
without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and the Lessor.

         10.2.    Effect of Transfer.

         From and after any transfer effected in accordance with this Section 10, the transferor shall be
released, to the extent of such transfer, from its liability hereunder and under the other documents to which it
is a party in respect of obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer; provided, however,
that any transferor shall remain liable hereunder and under such other documents to the extent that the
transferee shall not have assumed the obligations of the transferor thereunder.  Upon any transfer by the Owner
Trustee, a Holder or a Lender as above provided, any such transferee shall assume the obligations of the Owner
Trustee, the Holder or the Lender, as the case may be, and shall be deemed an "Owner Trustee", "Holder" or
"Lender", as the case may be, for all purposes of such documents and each reference herein to the transferor shall
thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee for all purposes, except as provided in the preceding
sentence.  Notwithstanding any transfer of all or a portion of the transferor's interest as provided in this
Section 10, the transferor shall be entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior to such transfer

SECTION 11.  INDEMNIFICATION.

         11.1.    General Indemnity.

         Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of Sections 11.6 through 11.8 and whether or
not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Indemnity Provider hereby assumes
liability for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an After Tax Basis
from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Person by
any third party, including without limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person (but
not to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person
itself, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct
imputed to such Indemnified Person) in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Lease, any other Operative Agreement, the Bond Loan
Documents, the Bond Documents, or on or with respect to any Property or any component thereof, including without
limitation Claims in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of (a) the financing, refinancing,
purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, design, construction, refurbishment, development, delivery,
acceptance, nondelivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, occupancy, operation, maintenance, repair,
modification, transportation, condition, sale, return, repossession (whether by summary proceedings or
otherwise), or any other disposition of any Property or any part thereof, including without limitation the
acquisition, holding or disposition of any interest in the Property, lease or agreement comprising a portion of
any thereof; (b) any latent or other defects in any Property or any portion thereof whether or not discoverable
by an Indemnified Person or the Indemnity Provider; (c) a violation of Environmental Laws, Environmental Claims
or other loss of or damage to any property or the environment relating to the Property, the Lease, the
Construction Agency Agreement or the Indemnity Provider; (d) the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan Documents,
the Bond Documents, or any transaction contemplated thereby; (e) any breach by the Indemnity Provider of any of
its representations or warranties under the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan Documents, or the Bond Documents
to which the Indemnity Provider is a party or failure by the Indemnity Provider to perform or observe any
covenant or agreement to be performed by it under any of the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan Documents, or
the Bond Documents; (f) the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Agreement, Bond Loan
Document or Bond Document, in respect of the application of Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA; (g)
personal injury, death or property damage, including without limitation Claims based on strict or absolute
liability in tort; and (h) any fees, expenses and/or other assessments by any business park or any other
applicable entity with oversight responsibility for the applicable Property.

         If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any proceeding shall be commenced
against such Indemnified Person (including without limitation a written notice of such proceeding), for any
Claim, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnity Provider in writing and shall not take action
with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider for thirty (30) days after the receipt
of such notice by the Indemnity Provider; provided, however, that in the case of any such Claim, if action shall
be required by law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such period of thirty (30) days, such
Indemnified Person shall endeavor to, in such notice to the Indemnity Provider, inform the Indemnity Provider of
such shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity
Provider before seven (7) days before the end of such shorter period; provided, further, that the failure of such
Indemnified Person to give the notices referred to in this sentence shall not diminish the Indemnity Provider's
obligation hereunder except to the extent such failure precludes in all respects the Indemnity Provider from
contesting such Claim.

         If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Person (or such shorter
period as the Indemnified Person has notified the Indemnity Provider is required by law or regulation for the
Indemnified Person to respond to such Claim), the Indemnity Provider shall request in writing that such
Indemnified Person respond to such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnity Provider,
in good faith conduct and control such action (including without limitation by pursuit of appeals) (provided,
however, that (A) if such Claim, in the Indemnity Provider's reasonable discretion, can be pursued by the
Indemnity Provider on behalf of or in the name of such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the
Indemnity Provider's request, shall allow the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such
Claim and (B) in the case of any Claim (and notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing subsection (A)), the
Indemnified Person may request the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such Claim (with
counsel to be selected by the Indemnity Provider and consented to by such Indemnified Person, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person may retain separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnity Provider in the event of a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and the
Indemnity Provider)) by, in the sole discretion of the Person conducting and controlling the response to such
Claim (1) resisting payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and
proper, (3) if the payment be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate
administrative and judicial proceedings, or (4) taking such other action as is reasonably requested by the
Indemnity Provider from time to time.

         The party controlling the response to any Claim shall consult in good faith with the non-controlling
party and shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably informed as to the conduct of the response to such
Claim; provided, that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the discretion of the controlling party.  The
parties agree that an Indemnified Person may at any time decline to take further action with respect to the
response to such Claim and may settle such Claim if such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any
indemnity from the Indemnity Provider that otherwise would be payable in respect of such Claim (and any future
Claim, the pursuit of which is precluded by reason of such resolution of such Claim) and shall pay to the
Indemnity Provider any amount previously paid or advanced by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to this Section 11.1
by way of indemnification or advance for the payment of an amount regarding such Claim.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, an Indemnified Person shall not be
required to take any action and the Indemnity Provider shall not be permitted to respond to any Claim in its own
name or that of the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed to pay and shall pay
to such Indemnified Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable costs, losses and expenses that
such Indemnified Person actually incurs in connection with such Claim, including without limitation all
reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements and, if the Indemnified Person has informed
the Indemnity Provider that it intends to contest such Claim (whether or not the control of the contest is then
assumed by the Indemnity Provider), the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed that the Claim is an indemnifiable
Claim hereunder, (B) in the case of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an
Affiliate thereof), the amount of the potential indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related
Claims that have been or could be raised for which the Indemnity Provider may be liable to pay an indemnity under
this Section 11.1) exceeds $25,000 (or such lesser amount as may be subsequently agreed between the Indemnity
Provider and the Indemnified Person), (C) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably determined that the action
to be taken will not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property, or any part
thereof or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and will not result in risk of criminal
liability, (D) if such Claim shall involve the payment of any amount prior to the resolution of such Claim, the
Indemnity Provider shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the
amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay (with no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified
Person) prior to the date such payment is due, (E) in the case of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an
Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the Indemnity Provider shall have provided to such Indemnified
Person an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person stating that a reasonable basis exists to contest such Claim (or, in the case of an appeal of
an adverse determination, an opinion of such counsel to the effect that the position asserted in such appeal has
a reasonable chance to prevail) and (F) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  In no event
shall an Indemnified Person be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme
Court.  In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to contest any Claim in its name (or that of an
Affiliate) if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously been decided
adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 11.1, unless
there shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the Indemnified Person shall have received,
at the Indemnity Provider's expense, an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person stating that as a result of such change in law (or interpretation
thereof), it is more likely than not that the Indemnified Person will prevail in such contest.  In no event shall
the Indemnity Provider be permitted to adjust or settle any Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person
to the extent any such adjustment or settlement involves, or is reasonably likely to involve, any performance by
or adverse admission by or with respect to the Indemnified Person.

         11.2.    General Tax Indemnity.

                  (a)      Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of Sections 11.6 through
         11.8, the Indemnity Provider shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify,
         protect and defend each Property and all Indemnified Persons, and hold them harmless against, all
         Impositions on an After Tax Basis, and all payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements shall be made
         free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future Impositions.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(a) hereof, the following
         shall be excluded from the indemnity required by Section 11.2(a) (collectively, the "Excluded Taxes"):

                           (i)      Taxes and Impositions (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,

                  Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Trust and AC Trust 2000-2) that are imposed by any Governmental
                  Authority on an Indemnified Person and that are based upon or measured by or with respect to
                  the overall gross or net income or overall gross or net receipts (including, without
                  limitation, any minimum taxes, income or capital gains taxes, or taxes on, measured by or with
                  respect to or in the nature of capital, net worth, excess profits, items of tax preference,
                  capital stock, franchise, business privilege or doing business taxes and any interest,
                  additions to tax, penalties or other charges in respect thereof; provided that such Taxes,
                  interest, additions to tax, penalties or other charges shall not be excluded under this
                  subparagraph (i) to the extent such Taxes would have been imposed had the location, possession
                  or use of any Property in, the location or the operation of the Lessee in, or the Lessee's or
                  Bond Trustee's making payments under the Operative Agreements, the Bond Documents or the Bond
                  Loan Documents from, the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes been the sole connection between such
                  Indemnified Person and the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes); provided, further, that this
                  clause (i) shall not be interpreted to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis
                  if such payment is otherwise required to be so made;

                           (ii)     any Tax or Imposition to the extent it relates to any act, event or omission
                  that occurs after the termination of the Lease and redelivery or sale of the Property in
                  accordance with the terms of the Lease (but not any Tax or Imposition that relates to such
                  termination, redelivery or sale and/or to any period prior to such termination, redelivery or
                  sale);

                           (iii)    any Tax or Imposition for so long as, but only for so long as, it is being
                  contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2(f) of the Participation Agreement,
                  provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Lessee's obligation under Section 11.2(f) of
                  the Participation Agreement to advance to such Indemnified Person amounts with respect to
                  expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with such contest;

                          (iv)      any interest, additions to tax or penalties imposed on an Indemnified Person
                 as a result of a breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations under Section 11.2(d) of
                 the Participation Agreement as a result of an Indemnified Person's failure to file any return or
                 other documents timely and as prescribed by applicable law; provided that this clause (iv) shall
                 not apply (x) if such interest or penalties arise as a result of a position taken (or requested
                 to be taken) by the Lessee in a contest controlled by the Lessee under Section 11.2(f) of the
                 Participation Agreement or (y) if such failure is attributable to a failure by the Lessee to
                 fulfill its obligations under the Lease with respect to any such return;

                           (v)      any Taxes or Impositions imposed upon an Indemnified Person with respect to
                  any voluntary transfer, sale, financing or other voluntary disposition of any interest in any
                  Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein or any interest or obligation under the
                  Operative Agreements or from any sale, assignment, transfer or other  disposition of any
                  interest in an Indemnified Person or any Affiliate thereof (other than (1) a transfer in
                  connection with the exercise by the Lessee of its Purchase Option or any termination option or
                  other purchase of any Property by Lessee or any Affiliate thereof, (2) a transfer made pursuant
                  to the exercise of remedies following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (3) a transfer in
                  connection with a Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Property, (4) a transfer in connection
                  with any sublease, modification or addition to any Property by the Lessee, or (5) any transfer
                  made at the request of Lessee);

                           (vi)     any Taxes or Impositions imposed on an Indemnified Person to the extent such
                  Indemnified Person actually receives a credit (or otherwise has a reduction in a liability for
                  Taxes) in respect thereof against Taxes that are not indemnified under the Participation
                  Agreement (but only to the extent such credit is not taken into account in calculating the
                  indemnity payment on an After Tax Basis);

                           (vii)    Taxes imposed on the Owner Trustee, the Trustee or the Bond Trustee based on,
                  measured by or imposed with respect to any fees for services rendered under the Trust
                  Agreement, Trust Agreement (AC Trust 2000-2) or the Bond Indenture;

                           (viii)   any Taxes which are imposed on an Indemnified Person as a result of the gross
                  negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of
                  competent jurisdiction (as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such
                  Indemnified Person);

                           (ix)     Taxes imposed on or payable by an Indemnified Person to the extent such Taxes
                  directly result from a breach by the Indemnified Person of any representations, warranties or
                  covenants set forth in the Operative Agreements (unless such breach is directly caused by
                  Lessee's breach of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Operative
                  Agreements);

                           (x)      Taxes to the extent resulting from such Indemnified Person's failure to comply
                  with the provisions of Section 11.2(f) of the Participation Agreement, which failure precludes
                  in all respects the ability to conduct a contest pursuant to Section 11.2(f) of the
                  Participation Agreement (unless such failure is caused by the Lessee's breach of its
                  obligations);

                           (xi)     with respect to each Property, Taxes which are included in applicable Property
                  Cost or applicable Property Acquisition Cost if and to the extent actually paid to the proper
                  Governmental Authority;

                           (xii)    [Intentionally omitted];

                           (xiii)   Taxes imposed on or with respect to or payable by an Indemnified Person
                  resulting from, or that would not have been imposed but for the existence of, any Lessor Lien
                  created by or through such Indemnified Person or an Affiliate thereof and not caused by acts or
                  omissions of any Lessee, unless required to be removed by any Lessee;

                           (xiv)    Any Tax imposed against or payable by an Indemnified Person to the extent that
                  the amount of such Tax exceeds the amount of such Tax that would have been imposed against or
                  payable by such Indemnified Person (or, if less, that would have been subject to
                  indemnification under Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement) if such Indemnified Person
                  were not a direct or indirect successor, transferee or assign of one of the original
                  Indemnified Persons; provided, however, that this exclusion (xiv) shall not apply if such
                  direct or indirect successor, transferee or assign acquired its interest as a result of a
                  transfer permitted under the Operative Agreements pursuant to and while an Event of Default
                  shall have occurred and is continuing;

                           (xv)     Taxes imposed on or with respect to or payable by an Indemnified Person that
                  would not have been imposed but for an amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver
                  to any Operative Agreement not initiated, required or consented to by any Lessee unless such
                  amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver (A) arises due to, or in connection with
                  there having occurred, an Event of Default, (B) is required by the terms of the Operative
                  Agreements or is executed in connection with any amendment to the Operative Agreements required
                  by law, or (C) is necessary or appropriate to, and is in conformity with, any amendment to any
                  Operative Agreement initiated, requested or consented to by the Lessee; and

                           (xvi)    Taxes that are, or are in the nature of, intangibles Taxes with respect to the
                  Notes or Certificates.

                  (c)      (i)      Subject to the terms of Section 11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay or
                  cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the taxing authorities where feasible and
                  otherwise to the Indemnified Person, as appropriate, and the Indemnity Provider shall at its
                  own expense, upon such Indemnified Person's reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified
                  Person copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payment.

                           (ii)     In the case of Impositions for which no contest is conducted pursuant to
                  Section 11.2(f) and which the Indemnity Provider pays directly to the taxing authorities, the
                  Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions prior to the latest time permitted by the
                  relevant taxing authority for timely payment.  In the case of Impositions for which the
                  Indemnity Provider reimburses an Indemnified Person, the Indemnity Provider shall do so within
                  thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnity Provider of demand by such Indemnified Person
                  describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the basis for the demand
                  (including without limitation the computation of the amount payable), accompanied by receipts
                  or other reasonable evidence of such demand.  In the case of Impositions for which a contest is
                  conducted pursuant to Section 11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions or
                  reimburse such Indemnified Person for such Impositions, to the extent not previously paid or
                  reimbursed pursuant to subsection (a), prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant
                  taxing authority for timely payment after conclusion of all contests under Section 11.2(f).

                           (iii)    At the Indemnity Provider's request, the amount of any indemnification payment
                  by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to subsection (a) shall be verified and certified by an
                  independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Indemnity Provider and the
                  Indemnified Person.  The fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be
                  paid by the Indemnity Provider unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the
                  Indemnity Provider's favor of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the payment as computed by the
                  Indemnified Person, in which case such fee shall be paid by the Indemnified Person.

                  (d)      The Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for preparing and filing any real and
         personal property or ad valorem tax returns in respect of each Property and any other tax returns
         required for the Owner Trustee respecting the transactions described in the Operative Agreements.  In
         case any other report or tax return shall be required to be made with respect to any obligations of the
         Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a) and of which the Indemnity Provider has
         knowledge or should have knowledge, the Indemnity Provider, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify
         the relevant Indemnified Person of such requirement and (except if such Indemnified Person notifies the
         Indemnity Provider that such Indemnified Person intends to prepare and file such report or return) (A)
         to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with Legal Requirements, make and file in the
         Indemnity Provider's name such return, statement or report; and (B) in the case of any other such
         return, statement or report required to be made in the name of such Indemnified Person, advise such
         Indemnified Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for filing by such
         Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report shall be required to reflect items in
         addition to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a), provide
         such Indemnified Person at the Indemnity Provider's expense with information sufficient to permit such
         return, statement or report to be properly made with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity
         Provider under or arising out of subsection (a).  Such Indemnified Person shall, upon the Indemnity
         Provider's request and at the Indemnity Provider's expense, provide any data maintained by such
         Indemnified Person (and not otherwise available to or within the control of the Indemnity Provider) with
         respect to each Property which the Indemnity Provider may reasonably require to prepare any required tax
         returns or reports.

                  (e)      As between the Indemnity Provider on one hand, and each Financing Party on the other
         hand, the Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for, and the Indemnity Provider shall indemnify and
         hold harmless each Financing Party (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection
         (a)) on an After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign withholding taxes or
         similar levies, imposts, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, "Withholdings")
         imposed in respect of the interest payable on the Notes, Holder Yield payable on the Certificates or
         with respect to any other payments under the Operative Agreements (all such payments being referred to
         herein as "Exempt Payments" to be made without deduction, withholding or set off) (and, if any Financing
         Party receives a demand for such payment from any taxing authority or a Withholding is otherwise
         required with respect to any Exempt Payment, the Indemnity Provider shall discharge such demand on
         behalf of such Financing Party); provided, however, that the obligation of the Indemnity Provider under
         this Section 11.2(e) shall not apply to:

                           (i)      Withholdings on any Exempt Payment to any Financing Party which is a non-U.S.
                  Person unless such Financing Party is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a
                  Financing Party hereunder) and on the date of any change in the principal place of business or
                  the lending office of such Financing Party, entitled to submit a Form 1001 (relating to such
                  Financing Party and entitling it to a complete exemption from Withholding on such Exempt
                  Payment) or Form 4224 or is otherwise subject to exemption from Withholding with respect to
                  such Exempt Payment (except where the failure of the exemption results from a change in the
                  principal place of business of the Lessee; provided if a failure of exemption for any Financing
                  Party results from a change in the principal place of business or lending office of any other
                  Financing Party, then such other Financing Party shall be liable for any Withholding or
                  indemnity with respect thereto), or

                           (ii)     Any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by a non-U.S. Person to
                  comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting
                  requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United
                  States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or
                  regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such
                  U.S. Taxes.

         For the purposes of this Section 11.2(e), (A) "U.S. Person" shall mean a citizen, national or resident
         of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or
         under any laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is
         subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B) "U.S. Taxes" shall mean
         any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United
         States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (C) "Form 1001" shall mean Form 1001
         (Ownership, Exemption, or Reduced Rate Certificate) of the Department of the Treasury of the United
         States of America and (D) "Form 4224" shall mean Form 4224(R) (Exemption from Withholding of Tax on
         Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the
         Department of Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such
         successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of
         the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates).  Each of the Forms
         referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as may
         from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to
         document a claim to which such Form relates.

                  If a Financing Party or an Affiliate with whom such Financing Party files a consolidated tax
         return (or equivalent) subsequently receives the benefit in any country of a tax credit or an allowance
         resulting from U.S. Taxes with respect to which it has received a payment of an additional amount under
         this Section 11.2(e), such Financing Party will pay to the Indemnity Provider such part of that benefit
         as in the opinion of such Financing Party will leave it (after such payment) in a position no more and
         no less favorable than it would have been in if no additional payment had been required to be paid,
         provided always that (i) such Financing Party will be the sole judge of the amount of any such benefit
         and of the date on which it is received, (ii) such Financing Party will have the absolute discretion as
         to the order and manner in which it employs or claims tax credits and allowances available to it and
         (iii) such Financing Party will not be obliged to disclose to the Indemnity Provider any information
         regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

                  Each non-U.S. Person that shall become a Financing Party after the date hereof shall, upon the
         effectiveness of the related transfer or otherwise upon becoming a Financing Party hereunder, be
         required to provide all of the forms and statements referenced above or other evidences of exemption
         from Withholdings.

                  (f)      If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any proceeding shall
         be commenced against such Indemnified Person (including without limitation a written notice of such
         proceeding), for any Impositions, the provisions in Section 11.1 relating to notification and rights to
         contest shall apply; provided, however, that the Indemnity Provider shall have the right to conduct and
         control such contest only if such contest involves a Tax other than a Tax on net income of the
         Indemnified Person and can be pursued independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability
         of such Indemnified Person.

         11.3.    Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

                  (a)      If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of
         any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request hereafter adopted,
         promulgated or made by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
         of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Financing Party of agreeing to make or making,
         funding or maintaining Advances, then the Lessee shall from time to time, upon demand by such Financing
         Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent but subject to the terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit
         Agreement and 3.9 of the Trust Agreement, as the case may be), pay to the Agent for the account of such
         Financing Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Financing Party for such increased
         cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by
         such Financing Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (b)      Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.3(b), if any Financing Party
         determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank
         or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law, but in each case promulgated or
         made after the date hereof) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
         maintained by such Financing Party or any corporation controlling such Financing Party and that the
         amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Financing Party's commitment
         to make Advances and other commitments of this type or upon the Advances, then, upon demand by such
         Financing Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent but subject to the terms of Section 2.11 of the
         Credit Agreement and 3.9 of the Trust Agreement), the Lessee shall pay to the Agent for the account of
         such Financing Party, from time to time as specified by such Financing Party, additional amounts
         sufficient to compensate such Financing Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to
         the extent that such Financing Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to
         the existence of such Financing Party's commitment to make such Advances.  A certificate as to such
         amounts submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by such Financing Party shall be conclusive and binding
         for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (c)      Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Lessee shall pay to each Financing
         Party on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as such Financing Party is maintaining
         reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities" under Regulation D an additional amount (determined by such
         Financing Party and notified to the Lessee through the Agent) equal to the product of the following for
         each Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, for each day during such Interest
         Period:

                           (i)      the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as
                  the case may be, outstanding on such day; and

                           (ii)     the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed
                  as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance,
                  as the case may be, for such Interest Period as provided in the Credit Agreement or the Trust
                  Agreement, as the case may be (less the Applicable Percentage), and the denominator of which is
                  one (1) minus the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements
                  are imposed on such Financing Party on such day minus (y) such numerator; and

                           (iii)    1/360.

                  (d)      Without affecting its rights under Sections 11.3(a), 11.3(b) or 11.3(c) or any other
         provision of any Operative Agreement, each Financing Party agrees that if there is any increase in any
         cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Financing Party with respect to which the Lessee
         would be obligated to compensate such Financing Party pursuant to Sections 11.3(a) or 11.3(b), such
         Financing Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative office for Advances which would
         not result in any such increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Financing
         Party; provided, however, that no Financing Party shall be obligated to select an alternative office for
         Advances if such Financing Party determines that (i) as a result of such selection such Financing Party
         would be in violation of any applicable law, regulation, treaty, or guideline, or would incur additional
         costs or expenses or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or materially
         inconsistent with the interests of such Financing Party.

                  (e)      With reference to the obligations of the Lessee set forth in Sections 11.3(a) through
         11.3(d), the Lessee shall not have any obligation to pay to any Financing Party amounts owing under such
         Sections for any period which is more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date upon which
         the request for payment therefor is delivered to the Lessee.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Financing Party shall
         notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
         regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is
         unlawful, for any Financing Party to perform its obligations hereunder to make or maintain Eurodollar
         Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, then (i) each Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar
         Holder Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, at the earlier of the end of the Interest Period
         for such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, or the date required by law,
         convert into an ABR Loan or an ABR Holder Advance, as the case may be, and (iii) the obligation of the
         Financing Parties to make, convert or continue Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the
         case may be, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Lessee that such Financing Party has
         determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

         11.4.    Funding/Contribution Indemnity.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement and 3.9(a) of the Trust Agreement,
as the case may be, the Lessee agrees to indemnify each Financing Party and to hold each Financing Party harmless
from any loss or reasonable expense which such Financing Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any
default in connection with the drawing of funds for any Advance, (b) any default in making any prepayment after a
notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions of the Operative Agreements or (c) the making of
a voluntary or involuntary payment of Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, on a
day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification shall be in an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest or Holder Yield, as the case may be, which
would have accrued on the amount so paid, or not so borrowed, accepted, converted or continued for the period
from the date of such payment or of such failure to borrow, accept, convert or continue to the last day of such
Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, accept, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable Eurodollar Rate plus the
Applicable Percentage for such Loan or Holder Advance, as the case may be, for such Interest Period over (y) the
amount of interest (as determined by such Financing Party in its reasonable discretion) which would have accrued
to such Financing Party on such amount by (i) (in the case of the Lenders) reemploying such funds in loans of the
same type and amount during the period from the date of payment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then
applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period that would have commenced
on the date of such failure) and (ii) (in the case of the Holders) placing such amount on deposit for a
comparable period with leading banks in the relevant interest rate market.  This covenant shall survive the
termination of the Operative Agreements and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

         11.5.    EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, ETC.

         Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of Section 11.6 through 11.8 and WITHOUT
LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF ANY AND ALL OF THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS, EACH PERSON
PROVIDING INDEMNIFICATION OF ANOTHER PERSON UNDER ANY OPERATIVE AGREEMENT HEREBY FURTHER EXPRESSLY RELEASES EACH
BENEFICIARY OF ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION FROM ALL CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE, DESCRIBED IN ANY OPERATIVE AGREEMENT,
BOND LOAN DOCUMENT OR BOND DOCUMENT CAUSED BY ANY ACT OR OMISSION ON THE PART OF ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY) OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH
BENEFICIARY, AND INDEMNIFIES, EXONERATES AND HOLDS EACH SUCH BENEFICIARY FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY
AND ALL ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, CLAIMS, LOSSES, COSTS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION ATTORNEY'S FEES AND EXPENSES), DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCURRED BY ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY (IRRESPECTIVE
OF WHETHER ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY IS A PARTY TO THE ACTION FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENT BOND LOAN DOCUMENT OR BOND DOCUMENT IS SOUGHT) ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE
(WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY) OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY.

         11.6.    Additional Provisions Regarding Environmental Indemnification.

         Each and every Indemnified Person shall at all times have the rights and benefits, and the Indemnity
Provider shall have the obligations, in each case provided pursuant to the Operative Agreements with respect to
environmental matters, violations of any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim or other loss of or damage to
any property or the environment relating to any Property, the Lease, the Construction Agency Agreement or the
Indemnity Provider (including without limitation the rights and benefits provided pursuant to Section 11.1(c).

         11.7.    Additional Provisions Regarding Indemnification.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 (other than with respect to
matters concerning environmental indemnification referenced in Section 11.6), (a) the Owner Trustee shall be the
only beneficiary of the provisions set forth in Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 (again, subject to the
immediately preceding parenthetical phrase) with respect to each Property solely for the period prior to the
earlier to occur of the applicable Completion Date or Construction Period Termination Date for such Property, as
applicable, and (b) such limited rights of indemnification referenced in Section 11.7(a) (to the extent relating
to third-party claims) shall be limited to third-party claims caused by or resulting from the Indemnity
Provider's acts or omissions and/or all other Persons acting by, through or under the Indemnity Provider.  After
the earlier to occur of the applicable Completion Date or Construction Period Termination Date for such Property,
as applicable, each Indemnified Person shall be a beneficiary of the provisions set forth in Sections 11.1, 11.2,
11.3, 11.4 and 11.5.

         11.8.    Indemnifications Provided by the Owner Trustee in Favor of the Other Indemnified Persons.

         To the extent the Indemnity Provider is not obligated to indemnify each Indemnified Person with respect
to the various matters described in this Section 11.8, the Owner Trustee shall provide such indemnities (but only
to the extent amounts sufficient to pay such indemnity are funded by the Lenders and the Holders) in favor of
each Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section 11.8 and shall pay all such amounts owed with respect to
this Section 11.8 with amounts advanced by the Lenders and the Holders to the extent, but only to the extent,
amounts are available therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments
(subject to the rights of the Lenders and the Holders to increase their respective commitment amounts in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.11).  Notwithstanding any other provision in any other Operative
Agreement to the contrary, all amounts so advanced shall be deemed added (ratably, based on the ratio of the
Property Cost for each Property individually to the Aggregate Property Cost of all Properties at such time) to
the Property Cost of all Properties then subject to the terms of the Operative Agreements.

         Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Owner Trustee
hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an
After Tax Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an
Indemnified Person by any third party, including without limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an
Indemnified Person (but not to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, as opposed to gross
negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person or breach of such Indemnified Person's
obligations under this Agreement, the Lease, any other Operative Agreement, any Bond Loan Agreement or any Bond
Document) in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement, the Lease, any other Operative Agreement, any Bond Loan Agreement or any Bond
Document or on or with respect to any Property or any component thereof, or any interest therein, including
without limitation Claims in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the matters set forth in
Sections 11.1(a) through 11.1(h).

         The Owner Trustee shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and
defend each Property and all Indemnified Persons, and hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax
Basis, and all payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present and future Impositions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
paragraph, the Excluded Taxes shall be excluded from the indemnity provisions afforded by this paragraph.

         The indemnity obligations undertaken by the Owner Trustee PURSUANT to this Section 11.8 are in all
respects subject to the limitations on liability referenced in Section 12.9.

waived or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by, subject to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement
regarding termination of the Trust Agreement, the Majority Secured Parties and each Credit Party (to the extent
such Credit Party is a party to such Basic Document, Bond Loan Document or Bond Document); provided, to the
extent no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Majority Secured Parties shall
not amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of any Basic Document, Bond Loan Document or Bond Document
in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Credit Party without the prior written consent (not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of such Credit Party; provided further that the Lessee shall in no event
have the right to consent to modifications to the terms of (i) the Credit Agreement required by the Lenders
pursuant to Section 2.6(e) of the Credit Agreement in connection with an extension of the maturity date of the
Loans beyond the Basic Term Expiration Date or (ii) the Trust Agreement required by the Holders pursuant to
Section 3.3 of the Trust Agreement in connection with an extension of the maturity date of the Holder Advances
beyond the Basic Term Expiration Date.  Each Operative Agreement which is not a Basic Document may be terminated,
amended, supplemented, waived or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties thereto and
(without the consent of any other Financing Party) the Agent.  In addition, the Unanimous Vote Matters shall
require the consent of each Lender and each Holder affected by such matter.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall,
without the consent of the Agent and, to the extent affected thereby, each Lender and each Holder (collectively,
the "Unanimous Vote Matters") (i) reduce the Lender Commitments and/or the Holder Commitments except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.5 of the Participation Agreement and Section 3.1(e) of the Trust Agreement, extend the
scheduled date of maturity of any Note, Bond Loan Note, Bond, or Certificate, extend the scheduled Expiration
Date, extend any payment date of any Note, Bond Loan Note, Bond or Certificate, reduce the stated rate of
interest payable on any Note, Bond Loan Note or Bond, reduce the stated Holder Yield payable on any Certificate
(other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates or Holder
Yields), modify the priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent under any Security Document, the Owner Trustee
under the Bond Loan Documents or the Series 2000-B Bond Purchaser under the Bond Documents, subordinate any
obligation owed to such Lender or Holder, reduce any Lender Unused Fees or any Holder Unused Fees payable to such
Lender or Holder (as the case may be) under this Participation Agreement, extend the scheduled date of payment of
any Lender Unused Fees or any Holder Unused Fees payable to such Lender or Holder (as the case may be), elect to
decline the funding of any Transaction Expense or other amount with respect to Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b), 7.3(a),

Section 11.8 or extend the expiration date of such Lender's Commitment or the Holder Commitment of such Holder,
or (ii) terminate, amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of this Section 12.4 or reduce the
percentages specified in the definitions of Majority Lenders, Majority Holders or Majority Secured Parties, or
consent to the assignment or transfer by the Owner Trustee of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit
Document or release a material portion of the Collateral (except in accordance with Section 8.8) or release any
Credit Party from its obligations under any Operative Agreement or Bond Document or otherwise alter any payment
obligations of any Credit Party to the Lessor or any Financing Party under the Operative Agreements, or (iii)
terminate, amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement or Section 8.6
or 8.7 of this Agreement (which shall also require the consent of the Agent), or (iv) eliminate the automatic
option under Section 5.3(b) of the Construction Agency Agreement requiring that the Construction Agent pay
certain liquidated damages in exchange for the conveyance of a Property to the Construction Agent, or (v) permit
the extension of the Construction Period beyond the date that is two (2) years from the Initial Closing Date.
Any such termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders
and the Holders and shall be binding upon all the parties to this Agreement.  In the case of any waiver, each
party to this Agreement shall be restored to its former position and rights under the Operative Agreements, Bond
Loan Documents and Bond Documents and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any
right consequent thereon. The parties to this Agreement agree that any increase in the aggregate Lender
Commitment and/or any increase in the aggregate Holder Commitment shall be a matter decided by the Majority
Secured Parties; provided, the Lender Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased without its consent (which
consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of such Lender) and the Holder Commitment of any Holder
shall not be increased without its consent (which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of such
Holder).

         If at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in the Operative Agreements to any Loan are, in the
opinion of the Majority Lenders, satisfied, any Lender shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Loan
(any such Lender, a "Defaulting Lender") then, for so long as such failure shall continue, (i) the Lessee may
require such Defaulting Lender to transfer or assign in whole or (with such Defaulting Lender's consent) in part
its interests, rights and obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11(b) of the Credit
Agreement, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Lessee and the Majority Lenders, determined as if the
Defaulting Lender were not a "Lender", shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to
terminations, amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications under the Operative Agreements to have no Loans,
shall not be treated as a "Lender" when performing the computation of Majority Lenders or Majority Secured
Parties, and shall have no rights under this Section 12.4; provided that any action taken pursuant to the second
paragraph of this Section 12.4 shall not be effective as against the Defaulting Lender.  Nothing herein shall
relieve the Defaulting Lender from any of its obligations under the Operative Agreements.

         If at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in the Operative Agreements to any Holder Advance
are, in the opinion of the Majority Holders, satisfied, any Holder shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make
such Holder Advance (any such Holder, a "Defaulting Holder") then, for so long as such failure shall continue,
(i) the Lessee may require such Defaulting Holder to transfer or assign in whole or (with such Defaulting Holder's
consent) in part its interests, rights and obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9(b) of the
Trust Agreement, and (ii) the Defaulting Holder shall (unless the Lessee and the Majority Holders, determined as
if the Defaulting Holder were not a "Holder", shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes
relating to terminations, amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications under the Operative Agreements to
have no Holder Advances, shall not be treated as a "Holder" when performing the computation of Majority Holders
or Majority Secured Parties, and shall have no rights under this Section 12.4; provided that any action taken
pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 12.4 shall not be effective as against the Defaulting Holder.
Nothing herein shall relieve the Defaulting Holder from any of its obligations under the Operative Agreements.

         legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement may be
         brought in the courts of the State of North Carolina in Mecklenburg County or of the United States for
         the Western District of North Carolina and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the
         parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property,
         generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts.  Each of the parties to
         this Agreement further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned
         courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified
         mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for notices pursuant to Section 12.2, such service

         party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or to
         otherwise proceed against any party in any other jurisdiction.

                  (b)      EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
         ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
         AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

                  (c)      Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it
         may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising
         out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement brought in the courts
         referred to in subsection (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or
         claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in
         an inconvenient forum.

         12.8.    Severability.

         Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  (a)      The Lenders, the Agent, the Credit Parties, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the

         circumstances whatsoever in its individual capacity for or on account of any statements,

         gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (b)      Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Notes,
         in any other Operative Agreement, the Bond Loan Documents or the Bond Documents notwithstanding, no

         the Agent agree that, in the event any remedies under any Operative Agreement, the Bond Loan Documents
         or the Bond Documents are pursued, neither the Lenders, the Holders nor the Agent shall have any
         recourse against any Exculpated Person, for any deficiency, loss or Claim for monetary damages or
         otherwise resulting therefrom and recourse shall be had solely and exclusively against the Trust Estate
         (excluding Excepted Payments) or the Trust Estate (AC Trust 2000-2), as applicable, and the Credit
         Parties (with respect to the Credit Parties' obligations under the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan
         Documents and the Bond Documents); but nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse
         against or the enforcement of remedies against the Trust Estate (excluding Excepted Payments) or the

         undertakings contained herein and/or in any other Operative Agreement, the Bond Loan Documents or the
         Bond Documents.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, nothing in any Operative Agreement, the
         Bond Loan Documents or the Bond Documents shall:  (i) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any
         indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes and/or the Certificates arising under any Operative
         Agreement or secured by any Operative Agreement, but the same shall continue until paid or discharged;
         (ii) relieve any Exculpated Person from liability and responsibility for (but only to the extent of the
         damages arising by reason of):  active waste knowingly committed by any Exculpated Person with respect
         to any Property or any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Exculpated
         Person; (iii) relieve any Exculpated Person from liability and responsibility for (but only to the
         extent of the moneys misappropriated, misapplied or not turned over) (A) except for Excepted Payments,
         misappropriation or misapplication by the Lessor (i.e., application in a manner contrary to any of the
         Operative Agreements) of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award paid or delivered to the Lessor by
         any Person other than the Agent, (B) except for Excepted Payments, any deposits or any escrows or
         amounts owed by the Construction Agent under the Construction Agency Agreement held by the Lessor or (C)
         except for Excepted Payments, any rent or other income received by the Lessor from any Credit Party that
         is not turned over to the Agent; or (iv) affect or in any way limit the Agent's rights and remedies
         under any Operative Agreement with respect to the Rents and rights and powers of the Agent under the
         Operative Agreements or to obtain a judgment against the Lessee's interest in the Properties or the
         Agent's rights and powers to obtain a judgment against the Lessor or any Credit Party (provided, that no
         deficiency judgment or other money judgment shall be enforced against any Exculpated Person except to
         the extent of the Lessor's interest in the Trust Estate (excluding Excepted Payments) or to the extent
         the Lessor may be liable as otherwise contemplated in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 12.9(b)).

         If at any time all obligations (i) of the Owner Trustee under the Credit Agreement, the Security

Lease and guaranty obligations under Section 6B and (b) receive all amounts then held under the Operative
Agreements and all proceeds with respect to any of the Properties.  Upon the termination of the Lease and Section
6B pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee all of its right, title and
interest free and clear of the Lien of the Lease, the Lien of the Security Documents and all Lessor Liens in and
to any Properties then subject to the Lease and any amounts or proceeds referred to in the foregoing clause (b)
shall be paid over to the Lessee.

         12.11.   Further Assurances.

         The parties hereto shall promptly cause to be taken, executed, acknowledged or delivered, at the sole

Participation Agreement, the other Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan Documents, the Bond Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation the preparation, execution and filing
of any and all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, filings of Mortgage Instruments and other filings or
registrations which the parties hereto may from time to time request to be filed or effected).  The Lessee, at
its own expense and without need of any prior request from any other party, shall take such action as may be
necessary (including without limitation any action specified in the preceding sentence), or (if the Owner Trustee
shall so request) as so requested, in order to maintain and protect all security interests provided for
hereunder, or under any other Operative Agreement, Bond Loan Document or Bond Document.  In addition, in
connection with the sale or other disposition of any Property or any portion thereof, the Lessee agrees to
execute such instruments of conveyance as may be reasonably required in connection therewith.

         12.12.   Calculations under Operative Agreements.

determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.

         12.13.   Confidentiality.

         Each Financing Party agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by
any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential; provided that
nothing herein shall prevent any Financing Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Financing
Party or any Affiliate of any Financing Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any
Financing Party or Affiliate of any Financing Party, (b) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the
administration of the credit facility provided herein, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon
the order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or
authority, (f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Financing Party
other than as a result of a disclosure by any Financing Party prohibited by this Agreement, (g) in connection
with any litigation to which such Financing Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (h) to the extent
necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement,
Bond Loan Document or Bond Document, and (i) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in
this Section, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee.

         12.14.   Financial Reporting/Tax Characterization.

         Lessee agrees to obtain advice from its own accountants and tax counsel regarding the financial
reporting treatment and the tax characterization of the transactions described in the Operative Agreements, Bond
Loan Documents and Bond Documents.  Lessee further agrees that Lessee shall not rely upon any statement of any
Financing Party or any of their respective Affiliates and/or Subsidiaries regarding any such financial reporting
treatment and/or tax characterization.  Lessee further agrees that no Financing Party shall have any liability

Operative Agreements.

         12.15.   Set-off.

         In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of
any such rights, upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the
Lenders, the Holders, their respective Affiliates and any assignee or participant of a Lender or a Holder in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements are hereby authorized by the Credit Parties
at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, including without limitation indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether
matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lenders, the Holders, their
respective Affiliates or any assignee or participant of a Lender or a Holder in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Operative Agreements to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on
account of the obligations of any Credit Party under the Operative Agreements irrespective of whether or not (a)
the Lenders or the Holders shall have made any demand under any Operative Agreement or (b) the Agent shall have
declared any or all of the obligations of any Credit Party under the Operative Agreements to be due and payable
and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent
nor any other Financing Party shall exercise, or attempt to exercise, any right of setoff, banker's lien, or the
like, against any deposit account or property of any Credit Party held by the Agent or any other Financing Party,
without the prior written consent of the Majority Secured Parties, and any Financing Party violating this
provision shall indemnify the Agent and the other Financing Parties from any and all costs, expenses, liabilities
and damages resulting therefrom.  The contractual restriction on the exercise of setoff rights provided in the
foregoing sentence is solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Financing Parties and may not be enforced by
any Credit Party.

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST

         Re:      Synthetic Lease Financing Provided in favor of Acxiom Corporation

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel to Acxiom Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), and the various
parties thereto from time to time, as guarantors (individually, a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors";
individually, the Lessee and each Guarantor may be referred to herein as a "Credit Party" or collectively, as the
"Credit Parties"), in connection with certain transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement dated as
of October 24, 2000 (the "Participation Agreement"), among the Lessee, the Guarantors, First Security Bank,
National Association, as the Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), First Security Trust Company of Nevada, as
Trustee, the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders
(the "Holders"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as
lenders (the "Lenders") and Bank of America, N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security
Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent").  This
opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(j) of the Participation Agreement.  All capitalized terms used
herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the
Participation Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of
[identify the applicable Bond Documents and Operative Agreements, including each Mortgage Instrument, related UCC
fixture filings, Additional UCCs (hereinafter defined), Deeds and Memoranda of Lease] and such other corporate
documents and records of the Credit Parties, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Credit
Parties as to certain factual matters, and such other instruments and documents which we have deemed necessary or
advisable to examine for the purpose of this opinion.  With respect to such examination, we have assumed (i) the
statements of fact made in all such certificates, documents and instruments are true, accurate and complete; (ii)
except as to the Credit Parties, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements and
the Bond Documents by the parties thereto; (iii) the genuineness of all signatures (except as to the Credit
Parties), the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates, instruments, records and corporate
records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original instruments of all documents submitted to
us as copies, and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of such copies; (iv) except as to the Credit
Parties, that all parties have all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the
Operative Agreements and the Bond Documents; and (v) except as to the Credit Parties, the enforceability of the
Mortgage Instrument, the Memorandum of Lease and the UCC financing statements against all parties thereto.

Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, and subject to
the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, including without limitation the matters set forth in the last
two (2) paragraphs hereof, we are of the opinion that:

         (a)      The Mortgage Instrument and Memorandum of Lease are enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as limited by laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, which laws
will not materially prevent the realization of the benefits intended by such documents.

         (b)      Each form of Mortgage Instrument and UCC fixture filing relating thereto, attached hereto as
Schedules 1 and 2, respectively, is in proper form for filing and recording with the offices of [identify the
recording offices of the respective county clerks where the Properties are to be located].  Upon filing of each
Mortgage Instrument and UCC fixture filing in [identify the recording offices of the respective county clerks
where the Properties are to be located], the Agent will have a valid, perfected lien and security interest in
that portion of the Collateral described in such Mortgage Instrument or UCC fixture filing to the extent such
Collateral is comprised of real property and/or fixtures.

         (c)      The forms of UCC financing statements relating to the Security Documents, attached hereto as
Schedule 3 (the "Additional UCCs"), are in proper form for filing and recording with the offices of [identify (i)
the recording offices of the respective county clerks where the Properties are to be located and (ii) the
Secretary of State where the Properties are to be located].  Upon filing of the Additional UCCs in [identify (i)
the recording offices of the respective county clerks where the Properties are to be located and (ii) the
Secretary of State where the Properties are to be located], the Agent will have a valid, perfected lien and
security interest in that portion of the Collateral which can be perfected by filing UCC-1 financing statements
under Article 9 of the UCC.

         (d)      Each form of Deed and Memorandum of Lease is in appropriate form for filing and recording with
the [identify the recording offices of the respective county clerks for the counties where the Properties are to
be located].

         (e)      Each Memorandum of Lease, when filed and recorded with the [identify the recording offices of
the respective county clerks for the counties where the Properties are to be located], will have been filed and
recorded in all public offices in the State of [__________] in which filing or recording is necessary to provide
constructive notice of the Lease to third Persons and to establish of record the interest of the Lessor
thereunder as to the Properties described in each such Memorandum of Lease.

         (f)      Title to the Properties located in the State of [___________] may be held in the name of the
Owner Trustee as follows:  First Security Bank, National Association, not individually, but solely as the Owner
Trustee under the AC Trust 2000-1.

         (g)      The execution and delivery by First Security Bank, National Association, individually or as the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party and compliance by First
Security Bank, National Association, individually or as the Owner Trustee, with all of the provisions thereof do
not and will not contravene any law, rule or regulation of [identify the state].

         (h)      By reason of their participation in the transaction contemplated under the Operative
Agreements, none of the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders or the Owner Trustee has to (a) qualify as a foreign
corporation in [identify the state], (b) file any application or any designation for service of process in
[identify the state] or (c) pay any franchise, income, sales, excise, stamp or other taxes of any kind to
[identify the state].

         (i)      The provisions in the Operative Agreements concerning Rent, interest, fees, prepayment premiums
and other similar charges do not violate the usury laws or other similar laws regulating the use or forbearance
of money of [identify the state].

         (j)      If the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements are characterized as a lease
transaction by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Lease and the applicable Lease Supplement shall demise to
the Lessee a valid leasehold interest in the Properties described in such Lease Supplement.

         (k)      If the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements are characterized as a loan
transaction by a court of competent jurisdiction, the combination of the Mortgage Instruments, the Deeds, the
Lease and the applicable Lease Supplements (and the other Operative Agreements incorporated therein by reference)
are sufficient to create a valid, perfected lien or security interest in the Properties therein described,
enforceable as a mortgage in [identify the state].

         (l)      [other opinions to be determined relating to the Bond Documents]

This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the
matters stated herein.  This opinion is based on and is limited to the laws of the State of [___________] and the
federal laws of the United States of America.  Insofar as the foregoing opinion relates to matters of law other
than the foregoing, no opinion is hereby given.

This opinion is for the sole benefit of the Lessee, the Construction Agent, the Guarantors, the Owner Trustee,
the Trustee, the Holders, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective successors and assigns and may not be
relied upon by any other person other than such parties and their respective successors and assigns without the
express written consent of the undersigned.  The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof and we make
no undertaking to amend or supplement such opinions if facts come to our attention or changes in the current law
of the jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such opinions.

                                                              Very truly yours,

         I, ______________________, duly elected and qualified Assistant Secretary of the Board of Directors of
First Security Bank, National Association (the "Association"), hereby certify as follows:

         1.       The Association is a National Banking Association duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the United States.  With respect thereto the following is noted:

         A.       Pursuant to Revised Statutes 324, et seq., as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1, et seq., the
                  Comptroller of the Currency charters and exercises regulatory and supervisory
                  authority over all National Banking Associations;

         B.       On December 9, 1881, the First National Bank of Ogden, Utah was chartered as a
                  Na&tional Banking Association under the laws of the United States and under Charter No.
                  2597;

         C.       On October 2, 1922, in connection with a consolidation of The First National Bank of
                  Ogden, Ogden, Utah, and The Utah National Bank of Ogden, Ogden, Utah, the title was
                  changed to "The First & Utah National Bank of Ogden"; on January 18, 1923, The First &
                  Utah National Bank of Ogden changed its title to "First Utah National Bank of Ogden";

                  National Association"; and

         D.       First Security Bank, National Association, Ogden, Utah, continues to hold a valid
                  certificate to do business as a National Banking Association.

         2.       The Association's Articles of Association, as amended, are in full force and effect, and a
true, correct and complete copy is attached hereto as Schedule A and incorporated herein by reference.  Said
Articles were last amended October 20, 1975, as required by law on notice at a duly called special meeting of the
shareholders of the Association.

         3.       The Association's By-Laws, as amended, are in full force and effect; and a true, correct and
complete copy is attached hereto as Schedule B and incorporated herein by reference.  Said By-Laws, still in full

adoption of By-Laws was given to each and every shareholder, at a regularly called meeting of the Board of
Directors with a quorum present.

         4.       Pursuant to the authority vested in it by an Act of Congress approved December 23, 1913 and
known as the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, the Federal Reserve Board (now the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) has granted to the Association now known as "First Security Bank, National Association"
of Ogden, Utah, the right to act, when not in contravention of State or local law, as trustee, executor,
administrator, registrar of stocks and bonds, guardian of estates, assignee, receiver, committee of estates of
lunatics, or in any other fiduciary capacity in which State banks, trust companies or other corporations which
come into competition with National Banks are permitted to act under the laws of the State of Utah; and under the
provisions of applicable law, the authority so granted remains in full force and effect.

         5.       Pursuant to authority vested by Act of Congress (12 U.S.C. 92a and 12 U.S.C. 481, as amended)
the Comptroller of the Currency has issued Regulation 9, as amended, dealing, in part, with the Fiduciary Powers
of National Banks, said regulation providing in subparagraph 9.7 (a) (1-2):

         (1)      The board of directors is responsible for the proper exercise of fiduciary
                  powers by the Bank.  All matters pertinent thereto, including the
                  determination of policies, the investment and disposition of property held in
                  fiduciary capacity, and the direction and review of the actions of all
                  officers, employees, and committees utilized by the Bank in the exercise of
                  its fiduciary powers, are the responsibility of the board.  In discharging
                  this responsibility, the board of directors may assign, by action duly entered
                  in the minutes, the administration of such of the Bank's fiduciary powers as
                  it may consider proper to assign to such director(s), officer(s), employee(s)
                  or committee(s) as it may designate.

         (2)      No fiduciary account shall be accepted without the prior approval of the
                  board, or of the director(s), officer(s), or committee(s) to whom the board
                  may have designated the performance of that responsibility. . . .

         6.       A Resolution relating to Exercise of Fiduciary Powers was adopted by the Board of Directors at
a meeting held July 26, 1994 at which time there was a quorum present; said resolution is still in full force and
effect and has not been rescinded.  Said resolution is attached hereto as Schedule C and incorporated herein by
reference.

         7.       A Resolution relating to the Designation of Officers and Employees to Exercise Fiduciary Powers
was adopted by the Trust Policy Committee at a meeting held February 7, 1996 at which time a quorum was present;
said resolution is still in full force and effect and has not been rescinded.  Said resolution is attached hereto
as Schedule D and is incorporated herein by reference.

         8.       Attached hereto as Schedule E and incorporated herein by reference, is a listing of facsimile
signatures of persons authorized (herein "Authorized Signatory or Signatories") on behalf of the Association and
its Trust Group to act in exercise of its fiduciary powers subject to the resolutions in Paragraphs 6 and 7,

departments, except for the St. George, Utah, Ogden, Utah, and Provo, Utah, branch offices, is located at 79

principal office of the Trust Group or in storage facilities within Salt Lake County, Utah, except for those of
the Ogden, Utah, St. George, Utah, and Provo, Utah, branch offices, which are located at said offices.

employee of the Association; (ii) holds the office or job title set forth below his or her name on the date
hereof; (iii) and the facsimile signature appearing opposite the name of each such officer or employee is a true

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST

         Re:      Trust Agreement dated as of October 24, 2000

Dear Sirs:

         We have acted as special counsel for First Security Bank, National Association, a national banking
association, in its individual capacity ("FSB") and in its capacity as trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under the
Trust Agreement dated as of October 24, 2000 (the "Trust Agreement") by and among it and the various banks and
other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the "Holders"), in connection
with the execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond
Documents to which it is a party.  Except as otherwise defined herein, the terms used herein shall have the
meanings set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement dated as of October 24, 2000 (the "Participation
Agreement") by and among Acxiom Corporation, (the "Lessee"), the various parties thereto from time to time, as
guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the Owner Trustee, First Security
Trust Company of Nevada, as Trustee, the Holders, the various banks and other lending institutions which are
parties thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and Bank of America, N.A., as the agent for the
Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of
their interests (the "Agent").

         We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such
documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of
rendering this opinion.

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

         1.       FSB is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the United States of America and each of FSB and the Owner Trustee has under the laws of the
State of Utah and federal banking law the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the
Trust Agreement and each Bond Loan Document, Bond Document and other Operative Agreement to which it is a party.

         2.       The Owner Trustee is the duly appointed trustee under the Trust Agreement.

         3.       The Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by one (1) of the officers
of FSB and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Holders, is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Owner Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB), enforceable against the Owner
Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB) in accordance with its terms, and the Trust Agreement
creates under the laws of the State of Utah for the Holders the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate it
purports to create and is a valid trust under the laws of the State of Utah.

         4.       The Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is party have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by FSB, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties thereto, are legal, valid and binding obligations of FSB, enforceable against FSB in accordance
with their respective terms.

         5.       The Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is party have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto, are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Owner Trustee, enforceable
against the Owner Trustee in accordance with their respective terms.  The Notes and Certificates have been duly
issued, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, pursuant to authorization contained in the Trust Agreement,
and the Certificates are entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Trust Agreement in accordance with
its terms and the terms of the Trust Agreement.

         6.       The execution and delivery by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee of the Trust Agreement, the
Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is a party, and compliance by FSB or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not contravene any Laws
applicable to or binding on FSB, or as the Owner Trustee, or contravene the provisions of, or constitute a
default under, its charter documents or by-laws or, to our knowledge after due inquiry, any indenture, mortgage
contract or other agreement or instrument to which FSB or Owner Trustee is a party or by which it or any of its
property may be bound or affected.

         7.       The execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents
by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee and the performance by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee of their respective
obligations thereunder does not require on or prior to the date hereof the consent or approval of, the giving of
notice to, the registration or filing with, or the taking of any action in respect of any Governmental Authority
or any court.

         8.       Assuming that the trust created by the Trust Agreement is treated as a grantor trust for
federal income tax purposes within the contemplation of Section 671 through 678 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, there are no fees, taxes, or other charges (except taxes imposed on fees payable to the Owner Trustee)
payable to the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance by the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders, the Lessee or the Holders, as the case may
be, of the Operative Agreements, the Bond Loan Documents or the Bond Documents or in connection with the
acquisition or leasing of any Property by the Owner Trustee or in connection with the making by any Holder of its
investment in the Trust or its acquisition of the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate or in connection with
the issuance and acquisition of the Certificates, or the Notes, or in connection with the making of the Bond
Loans and acquisition of the Bond Loan Note and neither the Owner Trustee, the Trust Estate nor the trust created
by the Trust Agreement will be subject to any fee, tax or other governmental charge (except taxes on fees payable
to the Owner Trustee) under the laws of the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof on, based on or
measured by, directly or indirectly, the gross receipts, net income or value of the Trust Estate by reason of the
creation or continued existence of the trust under the terms of the Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the
State of Utah or the Owner Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement.

         9.       There is no fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Utah or any
political subdivision thereof in existence on the date hereof on, based on or measured by any payments under the
Certificates, Notes, Bond Loan Note or the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate, by reason of the creation of
the trust under the Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah or the Owner Trustee's performance
of its duties under the Trust Agreement within the State of Utah.

         10.      Upon the filing of the financing statement on form UCC-1 in the form attached hereto as
Schedule 1 with the Utah Division of Corporation and Commercial Code, the Agent's security interest in the Trust
Estate, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Holders, will be perfected, to the extent that such perfection is
governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Utah (the "Utah UCC").

         Your attention is directed to the Utah UCC, which provides, in part, that a filed financing statement
which does not state a maturity date or which states a maturity date of more than five (5) years is effective
only for a period of five (5) years from the date of filing, unless within six (6) months prior to the expiration
of said period a continuation statement is filed in the same office or offices in which the original statement
was filed.  The continuation statement must be signed by the secured party, identify the original statement by
file number and state that the original statement is still effective.  Upon the timely filing of a continuation
statement, the effectiveness of the original financing statement is continued for five (5) years after the last
date to which the original statement was effective.  Succeeding continuation statements may be filed in the same
manner to continue the effectiveness of the original statement.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

         A.       We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Utah and in rendering the foregoing
opinions we have not passed upon, or purported to pass upon, the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of Utah and the federal banking law governing the banking and trust powers of FSB.  In addition, without limiting
the foregoing we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, or (iv) state securities or blue sky laws.  Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the legality,
validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documents involved in these transactions, which by their terms
are governed by the laws of a state other than Utah, we have assumed that the laws of such state (as to which we
express no opinion), are in all material aspects identical to the laws of the State of Utah.

         B.       The opinions set forth in paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 above are subject to the qualification that
enforceability of the Bond Loan Documents, Bond Documents, Trust Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
which FSB and the Owner Trustee are parties, in accordance with their respective terms, may be limited by (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or similar laws affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

         C.       As to the documents involved in these transactions, we have assumed that each is a legal, valid
and binding obligation of each party thereto, other than FSB or the Owner Trustee, and is enforceable against
each such party in accordance with their respective terms.

         D.       We have assumed that all signatures, other than those of the Owner Trustee or FSB, on documents
and instruments involved in these transactions are genuine, that all documents and instruments submitted to us as
originals are authentic, and that all documents and instruments submitted to us as copies conform with the
originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

         E.       We do not purport to be experts in respect of, or express any opinion concerning laws, rules or
regulations applicable to the particular nature of the equipment or property involved in these transactions.

         F.       We have made no investigation of, and we express no opinion concerning, the nature of the title
to any part of the equipment or property involved in these transactions or the priority of any mortgage or
security interest.

         G.       We have assumed that the Participation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are
not within the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

         H.       In addition to any other limitation by operation of law upon the scope, meaning, or purpose of
this opinion, the opinions expressed herein speak only as of the date hereof.  We have no obligation to advise
the recipients of this opinion (or any third party) and make no undertaking to amend or supplement such opinions
if facts come to our attention or changes in the current law of the jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which
could affect such opinions the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any information confirmation herein.

         I.       This opinion is for the sole benefit of the Lessee, the Construction Agent, the Guarantors, the
Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Holders, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective successors and assigns in
matters directly related to the Participation Agreement or the transaction contemplated thereunder and may not be
relied upon by any other person other than such parties and their respective successors and assigns without the
express written consent of the undersigned.  The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to the matter set
forth in this letter, and no other opinions should be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.



                                                              Very truly yours,

                                                              RAY, QUINNEY & NEBEKER

         Re:      Trust Agreement (AC Trust 2000-2) dated as of October 24, 2000

Dear Sirs:

         We have acted as special counsel for First Security Trust Company of Nevada, a trust company organized
under the laws of the State of Nevada, in its individual capacity ("FSTCN") and in its capacity as trustee (the
"Trustee") under the Trust Agreement (AC Trust 2000-2) dated as of October 24, 2000 (the "Trust Agreement") by and
among it and the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as
beneficiaries (the "Beneficiaries"), in connection with the execution and delivery by the Trustee of the
Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is a party.  Except as otherwise defined
herein, the terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement
dated as of October 24, 2000 (the "Participation Agreement") by and among Acxiom Corporation, (the "Lessee"), the
various parties thereto from time to time, as guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National
Association, as the Owner Trustee, First Security Trust Company of Nevada, as Trustee, the Holders, the various
banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and
Bank of America, N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent for the
Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent").

         We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such
documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of
rendering this opinion.

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

         1.       FSTCN is a trust company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Nevada and each of FSTCN and the Trustee has under the laws of the State of Nevada banking law
the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement and each Bond Loan
Document, Bond Document and other Operative Agreement to which it is a party.

         2.       The Trustee is the duly appointed trustee under the Trust Agreement.

         3.       The Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by one (1) of the officers
of FSTCN and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Beneficiaries, is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSTCN), enforceable against the
Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSTCN) in accordance with its terms, and the Trust
Agreement creates under the laws of the State of Nevada for the Beneficiaries the beneficial interest in the
Trust Estate (AC Trust 2000-2) it purports to create and is a valid trust under the laws of the State of Nevada.

         4.       The Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is party have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by FSTCN, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties thereto, are legal, valid and binding obligations of FSTCN, enforceable against FSTCN in accordance
with their respective terms.

         5.       The Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is party have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
by the other parties thereto, are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, enforceable against the
Trustee in accordance with their respective terms.  The Bond Loan Note has been duly issued, executed and
delivered by the Trustee, pursuant to authorization contained in the Trust Agreement.

         6.       The execution and delivery by each of FSTCN and the Trustee of the Trust Agreement, the
Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents to which it is a party, and compliance by FSTCN or
the Trustee, as the case may be, with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not contravene any Laws
applicable to or binding on FSTCN, or as the Trustee, or contravene the provisions of, or constitute a default
under, its charter documents or by-laws or, to our knowledge after due inquiry, any indenture, mortgage contract
or other agreement or instrument to which FSTCN or Trustee is a party or by which it or any of its property may
be bound or affected.

         7.       The execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents
by each of FSTCN and the Trustee and the performance by each of FSTCN and the Trustee of their respective
obligations thereunder does not require on or prior to the date hereof the consent or approval of, the giving of

or any court.

         8.       Assuming that the trust created by the Trust Agreement is treated as a grantor trust for
federal income tax purposes within the contemplation of Section 671 through 678 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, there are no fees, taxes, or other charges (except taxes imposed on fees payable to the Owner Trustee)

or leasing of any Property by the Trustee or in connection with the acquisition of the beneficial interest in the
Trust Estate (AC Trust 2000-2) or in connection with the issuance and acquisition of the Bond Loan Note, or in
connection with the acquisition of the Bond and neither the Trustee, the Trust Estate (AC Trust 2000-2) nor the
trust created by the Trust Agreement will be subject to any fee, tax or other governmental charge (except taxes
on fees payable to the Trustee) under the laws of the State of Nevada or any political subdivision thereof on,
based on or measured by, directly or indirectly, the gross receipts, net income or value of the Trust Estate (AC
Trust 2000-2) by reason of the creation or continued existence of the trust under the terms of the Trust
Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada or the Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust
Agreement.

         9.       There is no fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Nevada or Utah
or any political subdivision thereof in existence on the date hereof on, based on or measured by any payments
under the Bond Loan Note or the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate (AC Trust 2000-2), by reason of the
creation of the trust under the Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada or Utah or the
Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement within the State of Nevada or Utah.

         10.      Upon the filing of the financing statement on form UCC-1 in the form attached hereto as
Schedule 1 with the Nevada Commercial Code, the Lessor's security interest in the Trust Estate (AC Trust 2000-2),
will be perfected, to the extent that such perfection is governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in the State of Nevada (the "Nevada UCC").

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST

         Re:      Synthetic Lease Financing Provided in favor of Acxiom Corporation

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel to Acxiom Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee") and the Guarantors
(hereinafter defined) in connection with certain transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement dated
as of October 24, 2000 (the "Participation Agreement"), among the Lessee, the various parties thereto from time

"Owner Trustee"), First Security Trust Company of Nevada, not individually, except as expressly provided therein,
but solely as Trustee, the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to

"Agent").  This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(hh) of the Participation Agreement.  All capitalized
terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to
the Participation Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of the
Operative Agreements, and such other corporate, partnership or limited liability company documents and records of
the Credit Parties, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Credit Parties as to certain
factual matters, and such other instruments and documents which we have deemed necessary or advisable to examine
for the purpose of this opinion.  With respect to such examination, we have assumed (i) the statements of fact
made in all such certificates, documents and instruments are true, accurate and complete; (ii) the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by the parties thereto other than the Credit
Parties; (iii) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of persons signing on behalf of the
Credit Parties), the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates, instruments, records and
corporate records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original instruments of all documents
submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of such copies; (iv) that all
parties other than the Credit Parties have all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform the Operative Agreements; and (v) the enforceability of the Operative Agreements against all parties
thereto other than the Credit Parties and respecting the opinion set forth below in section (i), First Security
Bank, National Association, individually or as the Owner Trustee, as the case may be.  We have further assumed
that the laws of the States of [state of lawyer's admission] and [governing law of Participation Agreement] are
substantively identical.

Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, and subject to
the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, including without limitation the matters set forth in the last
two (2) paragraphs hereof, we are of the opinion that:

         (a)      Each Credit Party is a [corporation, partnership or limited liability company] duly
[incorporated or organized], validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
[incorporation/formation] and has the power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it is a party.  Each Credit
Party is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which its failure to so qualify would materially
impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it is a party or its
financial position or its business as now and now proposed to be conducted.

         (b)      The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Operative Agreements to
which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary [corporate] action on the part of each Credit
Party and the Operative Agreements to which each Credit Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by
each Credit Party.

         (c)      The Operative Agreements to which each Credit Party is a party constitute valid and binding
obligations of each Credit Party enforceable against each Credit Party in accordance with the terms thereof,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally, and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such
principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

         (d)      The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Operative Agreements to which it is a
party and compliance by each Credit Party with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i) contravene
the provisions of, or result in any breach of or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any
Lien (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) upon any of its property under, its [Articles of Incorporation
By-Laws, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document of formation] or any indenture,
mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, lease, conditional sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which any Credit Party is a party or by which any Credit Party or any property
of any Credit Party may be bound or affected, or (ii) contravene any Laws or any order of any Governmental
Authority applicable to or binding on any Credit Party.

         (e)      No Governmental Action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is
required for the due execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of any of the Operative Agreements to
which any Credit Party is a party or for the acquisition, ownership, construction and completion of the
Properties, except for those which have been obtained.

         (f)      Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or
to our knowledge, threatened against any Credit Party in any court or before any Governmental Authority, that
concern the Properties or the interest of any Credit Party therein or that question the validity or
enforceability of any Operative Agreement to which any Credit Party is a party or the overall transaction
described in the Operative Agreements to which any Credit Party is a party.

         (g)      Neither the nature of the Properties, nor any relationship between any Credit Party and any
other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative
Agreements to which any Credit Party is a party is such as to require any approval of stockholders of, or
approval or consent of any trustee or holders of indebtedness of, any Credit Party, except for such approvals and
consents which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect.

         (h)      The Security Documents which have been executed and delivered as of the date of this opinion
create, for the benefit of the Agent, the security interests in the Collateral described therein which by their
terms such Security Documents purport to create.  Upon filing of the UCC-1 financing statements (attached hereto
as Schedule 2) relating to the Security Documents in the recording offices of (A) the respective county clerk
where the principal place of business of the Lessee is located and (B) the Secretary of State where the principal
place of business of the Lessee is located, the Agent will have a valid, perfected lien and security interest in
that portion of the Collateral which can be perfected by the filing of UCC-1 financing statements under Article 9
of the UCC in [identify the state].

         (i)      The Operative Agreements to which First Security Bank, National Association, individually or as
the Owner Trustee, is a party constitute valid and binding obligations of such party and are enforceable against
First Security Bank, National Association, individually or as the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in
accordance with the terms thereof, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, and similar laws affecting creditors, rights generally, and general principles of equity (regardless
of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

         (j)      The offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes and the offer, issuance, sale and delivery
of the Certificates under the circumstances contemplated by the Participation Agreement do not, under existing
law, require registration of the Notes or the Certificates being issued on the date hereof under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the qualification of the Trust Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended.

This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the
matters stated herein.  This opinion is based on and is limited to the laws of the States of [__________], and
the federal laws of the United States of America.  Insofar as the foregoing opinion relates to matters of law
other than the foregoing, no opinion is hereby given.

This opinion is for the sole benefit of the Lessee, the Construction Agent, the Guarantors, the Owner Trustee,
the Holders, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective successors and assigns and may not be relied upon by any
other person other than such parties and their respective successors and assigns without the express written
consent of the undersigned.  The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof and we  make no undertaking
to amend or supplement such opinions if facts come to our attention or changes in the current law of the
jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such opinions.


                                                              Very truly yours,

                                                 Legal Proceedings
                            (Pursuant to Section 6.2(d) of the Participation Agreement)

On September 20, 1999 Acxiom and certain of its directors and officers were sued by an individual shareholder in
a purported class action filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.  The
action alleges that the defendants violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the
July 23, 1999 public offering of 5,421,000 shares of our common stock.  In addition, the action seeks to assert
liability against Company Leader Charles Morgan pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.  The action
seeks to have a class certified of all purchasers of the stock sold in the public offering.  Two additional suits
were subsequently filed in the same venue against the same defendants and asserting the same allegations.  The
plaintiffs have now filed a consolidated complaint.  The cases are still in the initial phase of litigation, with
the defendants having filed their initial response to the lawsuit.  We believe the allegations are without merit
and the defendants intend to vigorously contest the cases, and at the appropriate time, seek their dismissal.

         2.3      Title.

         Each Property is leased to Lessee without any representation or warranty, express or implied, by
Lessor and subject to the rights of parties in possession (if any), the existing state of title (including
without limitation the Permitted Liens) and all applicable Legal Requirements.  Lessee shall in no event have
any recourse against Lessor for any defect in Lessor's title to any Property or any interest of Lessee
therein (other than for Lessor Liens).

         2.4      Lease Supplements.

         On or prior to each Basic Term Commencement Date, Lessee and Lessor shall each execute and deliver a
Lease Supplement for the Property to be leased effective as of such Basic Term Commencement Date in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.


ARTICLE III

         3.1      Rent.

                  (a)      Lessee shall pay Basic Rent in arrears on each Payment Date, and on any date on
         which this Lease shall terminate with respect to any or all Properties during the Term; provided,
         however, with respect to each individual Property Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Basic Rent
         with respect to such Property until the Rent Commencement Date with respect to such Property
         (notwithstanding that Basic Rent for such Property shall accrue from and including the Scheduled
         Interest Payment Date immediately preceding such Rent Commencement Date).

                  (b)      Basic Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United States and shall
         be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent on the due date therefor (or
         within the applicable grace period) to such account or accounts at such bank or banks as Lessor
         shall from time to time direct.

                  (c)      Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of all or any portion of any
         Property when delivered by Lessor, whether or not attributable to any act or omission of Lessor, the
         Construction Agent, Lessee or any other Person or for any other reason whatsoever, shall not delay
         or otherwise affect Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for such Property in accordance with the terms
         of this Lease.

                  (d)      Lessee shall make all payments of Rent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the
         applicable date for payment of such amount.

         3.2      Payment of Basic Rent.

         Basic Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor or its designee, so that this Lease shall yield to
Lessor the full amount thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction.

         3.3      Supplemental Rent.

         Lessee shall pay to Agent for distribution to the Person entitled thereto any and all Supplemental
Rent when and as the same shall become due and payable, and if Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental Rent
within three (3) Business Days after the same is due, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies
provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent.  All such
payments of Supplemental Rent shall be in the full amount thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction.
Lessee shall pay to the appropriate Person, as Supplemental Rent due and owing to such Person, among other
things, on demand, (a) any and all payment obligations (except for amounts payable as Basic Rent and as
otherwise provided in the Operative Agreements) owing from time to time under the Operative Agreements, the
Bond Loan Documents or the Bond Documents by any Person to the Agent, the Trustee, the Bond Trustee, any
Lender, any Holder or any other Person, (b) interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any installment of
Basic Rent not paid when due (subject to the applicable grace period) for the period for which the same shall
be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded by the appropriate Person
(subject to any applicable grace period) for the period from the due date or the date of any such demand, as
the case may be, until the same shall be paid and (c) amounts referenced as Supplemental Rent obligations
pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Participation Agreement.  It shall be an additional Supplemental Rent
obligation of Lessee to pay to the appropriate Person all rent and other amounts when such become due and
owing from time to time under each Ground Lease and without the necessity of any notice from Lessor with
regard thereto.  The expiration or other termination of Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder
shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent.  Unless expressly
provided otherwise in this Lease, in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay and discharge any
Supplemental Rent as and when due, Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine, penalty, interest
or cost which may be assessed or added for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which
shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.

         3.4      Performance on a Non-Business Day.

         If any Basic Rent is required hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Basic Rent
shall be due on the corresponding Scheduled Interest Payment Date.  If any Supplemental Rent is required
hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Supplemental Rent shall be due on the next
succeeding Business Day.

         3.5      Rent Payment Provisions.

         Lessee shall make payment of all Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent when due (subject to the
applicable grace periods) regardless of whether any of the Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents or Bond
Documents pursuant to which same is calculated and is owing shall have been rejected, avoided or disavowed in
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving any of the parties to any of the Operative Agreements, Bond
Loan Documents or Bond Documents.  Such provisions of such Operative Agreements and their related definitions
are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive any termination, amendment or rejection of any such
Operative Agreements, Bond Loan Documents or Bond Documents.


ARTICLE IV

         4.1      Taxes; Utility Charges.

         Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions with respect to the Properties and/or the use,
occupancy, operation, repair, access, maintenance or operation thereof and all charges for electricity,
power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer service and all other rents, utilities and operating
expenses of any kind or type used in or on any Property and related real property during the Term.  Upon
Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide from time to time Lessor with evidence of all such payments referenced
in the foregoing sentence.  Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to any
Imposition or utility charge paid by Lessee.  Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the amount of any credit or refund received by Lessor on account of any Imposition or utility
charge paid by Lessee, net of the costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund,
shall be promptly paid over to Lessee.  All charges for Impositions or utilities imposed with respect to any
Property for a period during which this Lease expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily
basis between Lessor and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for such party's pro rata
share thereof.


ARTICLE V

         5.1      Quiet Enjoyment.

         Subject to the rights of Lessor contained in Sections 17.2, 17.3 and 20.3 and the other terms of
this Lease and the other Operative Agreements and the Bond Documents and so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy each Property for
the applicable Term, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone rightfully claiming by, through or
under Lessor (other than Lessee) with respect to any matters arising from and after the applicable Basic Term
Commencement Date.


ARTICLE VI

         6.1      Net Lease.

         This Lease shall constitute a net lease, and the obligations of Lessee hereunder are absolute and
unconditional.  Lessee shall pay all operating expenses arising out of the use, operation and/or occupancy of
each Property.  Any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease shall not terminate,
nor shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim, or
defense with respect to the Rent, nor shall the obligations of Lessee hereunder be affected (except as
expressly herein permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection therewith) for any reason
whatsoever, including without limitation by reason of:  (a) any damage to or destruction of any Property or
any part thereof; (b) any taking of any Property or any part thereof or interest therein by Condemnation or
otherwise; (c) any prohibition, limitation, restriction or prevention of Lessee's use, occupancy or enjoyment
of any Property or any part thereof, or any interference with such use, occupancy or enjoyment by any Person
or for any other reason; (d) any title defect (whether related to the City of Little Rock, the interest
therein of the Lessor purported to be created by the Head Lease or otherwise), Lien or any matter affecting
title to any Property; (e) any eviction by paramount title or otherwise; (f) any default by Lessor hereunder;
(g) any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding
relating to or affecting the Agent, any Lender, Lessor, Bond Trustee, Trustee, Lessee, any Holder, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person; (h) the impossibility or illegality of performance by Lessor,
Lessee or both; (i) any action of any Governmental Authority or any other Person; (j)  Lessee's acquisition
of ownership of all or part of any Property; (k) breach of any warranty or representation with respect to any
Property or any Operative Agreement, Bond Loan Document or Bond Document; (l) any defect in the condition,
quality or fitness for use of any Property or any part thereof; or (m) any other cause or circumstance
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether or not Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of
any of the foregoing.  The parties intend that the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be covenants,
agreements and obligations that are separate and independent from any obligations of Lessor hereunder and
shall continue unaffected unless such covenants, agreements and obligations shall have been modified or
terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease.  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree
that the provisions of this Section 6.1 have been specifically reviewed and subjected to negotiation.

         6.2      No Termination or Abatement.

         Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any
action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting any Person or any Governmental
Authority, or any action with respect to this Lease or any Operative Agreement which may be taken by any
trustee, receiver or liquidator of any Person or any Governmental Authority or by any court with respect to
any Person, or any Governmental Authority.  Lessee hereby waives all right (a) to terminate or surrender this
Lease (except as permitted under the terms of the Operative Agreements) or (b) to avail itself of any
abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent.
Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and Lessee hereby waives any and
all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid strict compliance with
its obligations under this Lease.  Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, Lessee shall be bound by
all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.


ARTICLE VII

         7.1      Ownership of the Properties.

                  (a)      Lessor and Lessee intend that for federal and all state and local income tax
         purposes, bankruptcy purposes, regulatory purposes (other than for purposes of the Securities Act
         and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), commercial law and real estate purposes and all other
         purposes (other than for accounting purposes), (A) this Lease will be treated as a financing
         arrangement and (B) Lessee will be treated as the owner of the Properties and will be entitled to
         all tax benefits ordinarily available to owners of property similar to the Properties for such tax
         purposes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party hereto has made, or shall be deemed to have
         made, any representation or warranty as to the availability of any of the foregoing treatments under
         applicable accounting rules, tax, bankruptcy, regulatory, commercial or real estate law or under any
         other set of rules.  Lessee shall claim the cost recovery deductions associated with each Property,
         and Lessor shall not, to the extent not prohibited by Law, take on its tax return a position
         inconsistent with Lessee's claim of such deductions.

                  (b)      For all purposes described in Section 7.1(a), Lessor and Lessee intend this Lease
         to constitute a finance lease and not a true lease.  In order to secure the obligations of Lessee
         now existing or hereafter arising under any and all Operative Agreements, Lessee hereby bargains,
         sells, conveys, grants, assigns, transfers, hypothecates, mortgages and sets over to Lessor, for the
         benefit of all Financing Parties, a first priority security interest (but subject to the security
         interest in the assets granted by Lessee in favor of the Agent in accordance with the Security
         Agreement) in and lien on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now owned or hereafter acquired)
         in and to all Properties to the extent such is personal property and irrevocably grants and conveys
         a lien, deed of trust and mortgage on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now owned or
         hereafter acquired) in and to all Properties to the extent such is real property.  Lessor and Lessee
         further intend and agree that, for the purpose of securing the obligations of Lessee and/or the
         Construction Agent now existing or hereafter arising under the Operative Agreements, (i) this Lease
         shall be a security agreement and financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform
         Commercial Code respecting each of the Properties and all proceeds (including without limitation
         insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is personal property and an irrevocable grant and
         conveyance of a lien, deed of trust and mortgage on each of the Properties and all proceeds
         (including without limitation insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is real property;
         (ii) the acquisition of title by Lessor (or to the extent applicable, a leasehold interest pursuant
         to the Head Lease or a Ground Lease) in each Property referenced in Article II constitutes a grant
         by Lessee to Lessor of a security interest, lien, deed of trust and mortgage in all of Lessee's
         right, title and interest in and to each Property and all proceeds (including without limitation
         insurance proceeds thereof) of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash,
         investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash, investments, securities or
         other property, and an assignment of all rents, profits and income produced by each Property; and
         (iii) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
         from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Lessee shall be deemed to have
         been given for the purpose of perfecting such lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of
         trust under applicable law.  Lessee shall promptly take such actions as Lessor may reasonably
         request (including without limitation the filing of Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements,
         Uniform Commercial Code Fixture Filings and memoranda (or short forms) of this Lease and the various
         Lease Supplements) to ensure that the lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of trust in
         each Property and the other items referenced above will be deemed to be a perfected lien, security
         interest, mortgage lien and deed of trust of first priority under applicable law and will be
         maintained as such throughout the Term.


ARTICLE VIII

         8.1      Condition of the Properties.

         LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS LEASING EACH PROPERTY "AS-IS WHERE-IS" WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) BY LESSOR (EXCEPT THAT LESSOR SHALL KEEP EACH
PROPERTY FREE AND CLEAR OF LESSOR LIENS) AND IN EACH CASE SUBJECT TO (A) THE EXISTING STATE OF TITLE, (B) THE
RIGHTS OF ANY PARTIES IN POSSESSION THEREOF (IF ANY), (C) ANY STATE OF FACTS REGARDING ITS PHYSICAL CONDITION
OR WHICH AN ACCURATE SURVEY MIGHT SHOW, (D) ALL APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND (E) VIOLATIONS OF LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY EXIST ON THE DATE HEREOF AND/OR THE DATE OF THE APPLICABLE LEASE SUPPLEMENT.  NEITHER
LESSOR NOR THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER NOR ANY HOLDER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) (EXCEPT THAT LESSOR SHALL KEEP EACH PROPERTY FREE
AND CLEAR OF LESSOR LIENS) OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE TITLE, VALUE,
HABITABILITY, USE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OF ANY PROPERTY (OR ANY
PART THEREOF), OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT
TO ANY PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF), AND NEITHER LESSOR NOR THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER NOR ANY HOLDER SHALL
BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT THEREON OR THE FAILURE OF ANY PROPERTY, OR ANY PART
THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT.  LESSEE HAS OR PRIOR TO THE BASIC TERM COMMENCEMENT DATE WILL
HAVE BEEN AFFORDED FULL OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT EACH PROPERTY AND THE IMPROVEMENTS THEREON (IF ANY), IS OR
WILL BE (INSOFAR AS LESSOR, THE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH HOLDER ARE CONCERNED) SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS
OF ITS INSPECTIONS AND IS ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF THE RESULTS OF ITS OWN INSPECTIONS,
AND ALL RISKS INCIDENT TO THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, AS BETWEEN LESSOR, THE AGENT, THE
LENDERS AND THE HOLDERS, ON THE ONE HAND, AND LESSEE, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE.

         8.2      Possession and Use of the Properties.

                  (a)      At all times during the Term with respect to each Property, such Property shall be
         a Permitted Facility and shall be used by Lessee in the ordinary course of its business.  Lessee
         shall pay, or cause to be paid, all charges and costs required in connection with the use of the
         Properties as contemplated by this Lease.  Lessee shall not commit or permit any waste of the
         Properties or any part thereof.

                  (b)      The address stated in Section 29.1 of this Lease is the principal place of business
         and chief executive office of Lessee (as such terms are used in Section 9-103(3) of the Uniform
         Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction), and Lessee will provide Lessor with prior written
         notice of any change of location of its principal place of business or chief executive office.
         Regarding a particular Property, each Lease Supplement correctly identifies the initial location of
         the related Equipment (if any) and Improvements (if any) and contains an accurate legal description
         for the related parcel of Land or a copy of the Ground Lease (if any).  The Equipment and
         Improvements respecting each particular Property will be located only at the location identified in
         the applicable Lease Supplement.

                  (c)      Lessee will not attach or incorporate any item of  Equipment to or in any other
         item of equipment or personal property or to or in any real property in a manner that could give
         rise to the assertion of any Lien on such item of Equipment by reason of such attachment or the
         assertion of a claim that such item of Equipment has become a fixture and is subject to a Lien in
         favor of a third party that is prior to the Liens thereon created by the Operative Agreements.

                  (d)      On the Basic Term Commencement Date for each Property, Lessor and Lessee shall
         execute a Lease Supplement in regard to such Property which shall contain an Equipment Schedule that
         has a general description of the Equipment which shall comprise the Property, an Improvement
         Schedule that has a general description of the Improvements which shall comprise the Property and a
         legal description of the Land to be leased hereunder (or in the case of the Little Rock Property and
         any Property subject to a Ground Lease to be subleased hereunder) as of such date.  Each Property
         subject to a Ground Lease shall be deemed to be ground subleased from Lessor to Lessee as of the
         Basic Term Commencement Date for such Property, and such ground sublease shall be in effect until
         this Lease is terminated or expires, in each case in accordance with the terms and provisions
         hereof.  Lessee shall satisfy and perform all obligations imposed on Lessor under each Ground Lease
         and Head Lease.  Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement, such
         Equipment, Improvements, Land, leasehold interest, ground subleasehold interest, all additional
         Equipment and all additional Improvements which are financed under the Operative Agreements, the
         Bond Loan Documents and the Bond Documents after the Basic Term Commencement Date and the remainder
         of such Property shall be deemed to have been accepted by Lessee for all purposes of this Lease and
         to be subject to this Lease.

                  (e)      At all times during the Term with respect to each Property, Lessee will comply with
         all obligations under and (to the extent no Event of Default exists and provided that such exercise
         will not impair the value, utility or remaining useful life of such Property) shall be permitted to
         exercise all rights and remedies under, all operation and easement agreements and related or similar
         agreements applicable to such Property.

         8.3      Integrated Properties.

         On the Rent Commencement Date for each Property, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause
such Property and the applicable property subject to a Ground Lease to constitute (and for the duration of
the Term shall continue to constitute) all of the equipment, facilities, rights, other personal property and
other real property necessary or appropriate to operate, utilize, maintain and control a Permitted Facility
in a commercially reasonable manner.


ARTICLE IX

         9.1      Compliance With Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Manufacturer's Specifications
                  and Standards.

         Subject to the terms of Article XIII relating to permitted contests, Lessee, at its sole cost and
expense, shall (a) comply with all applicable Legal Requirements (including without limitation all
Environmental Laws) and all Insurance Requirements relating to the Properties, (b) procure, maintain and
comply with all licenses, permits, orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required for the
acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair,
refurbishment and restoration of the Properties and (c) comply with all manufacturer's specifications and
standards, including without limitation the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development,
construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Properties, whether or not
compliance therewith shall require structural or extraordinary changes in any Property or interfere with the
use and enjoyment of any Property, unless the failure to procure, maintain and comply with such items
identified in subparagraphs (b) and (c), individually or in the aggregate, shall not have and could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  In addition, Lessee agrees to take such action as
is required to cause or permit the Lessor to comply with each and every provision of the Head Lease.  Lessor
agrees, provided there is no adverse effect on the Financing Parties, to take such actions at Lessee's sole
cost and expense as may be reasonably requested by Lessee in connection with the compliance by Lessee of its
obligations under this Section 9.1.


ARTICLE X

         10.1     Maintenance and Repair; Return.

                  (a)      Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain each Property in good
         condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and in the repair and
         condition as when originally delivered to Lessor and make all necessary repairs thereto and
         replacements thereof, of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether interior or exterior, ordinary or
         extraordinary, structural or nonstructural or foreseen or unforeseen, in each case as required by
         Section 9.1 and on a basis consistent with the operation and maintenance of properties or equipment
         comparable in type and function to the applicable Property, such that such Property is capable of
         being immediately utilized by a third party and in compliance with standard industry practice
         subject, however, to the provisions of Article XV with respect to Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (b)      Lessee shall not use or locate any component of any Property outside of the
         Approved State therefor.  Lessee shall not move or relocate any component of any Property beyond the
         boundaries of the Land (comprising part of such Property) described in the applicable Lease
         Supplement, except for the temporary removal of Equipment and other personal property for repair or
         replacement.

                  (c)      If any component of any Property becomes worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond
         repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit for use, Lessee, at its own expense, will within a
         reasonable time replace such component with a replacement component which is free and clear of all
         Liens (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) and has a value, utility and useful life at
         least equal to the component replaced (assuming the component replaced had been maintained and
         repaired in accordance with the requirements of this Lease).  All components which are added to any
         Property shall immediately become the property of (and title thereto shall vest in) Lessor (or with
         respect to the Little Rock Property, the City of Little Rock, and leased to the Lessor under the
         Head Lease) and shall be deemed incorporated in such Property and subject to the terms of this Lease
         as if originally leased hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 10.1(c) shall not apply to any
         Property until after the Construction Period Termination Date applicable to such Property.

                  (d)      Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessor and its agents shall have the right to
         inspect each Property and all maintenance records with respect thereto at any reasonable time during
         normal business hours but shall not, in the absence of an Event of Default, materially disrupt the
         business of Lessee.

                  (e)      Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor (at Lessee's sole expense) one or more
         additional Appraisals (or reappraisals of Property) as Lessor may request if any one of Lessor,
         Trustee, the Agent, the Trust Company, any Lender or any Holder is required pursuant to any
         applicable Legal Requirement to obtain such Appraisals (or reappraisals) and at any time after the
         occurrence of any Event of Default.

                  (f)      Lessor shall under no circumstances be required to build any improvements or
         install any equipment on any Property, make any repairs, replacements, alterations or renewals of
         any nature or description to any Property, make any expenditure whatsoever in connection with this
         Lease or maintain any Property in any way.  Lessor shall not be required to maintain, repair or
         rebuild all or any part of any Property, and Lessee waives the right to (i) require Lessor to
         maintain, repair, or rebuild all or any part of any Property, or (ii) make repairs at the expense of
         Lessor pursuant to any Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, contract, agreement, covenant,
         condition or restriction at any time in effect.

                  (g)      Lessee shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect
         to a Property, if Lessee shall not have exercised its Purchase Option with respect to such Property
         and purchased such Property, (A) surrender such Property (i) pursuant to the exercise of the
         applicable remedies upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, to Lessor or (ii) pursuant to
         the second paragraph of Section 22.1(a) hereof, to Lessor or the third party purchaser, as the case
         may be, subject to Lessee's obligations under this Lease (including without limitation the
         obligations of Lessee at the time of such surrender under Sections 9.1, 10.1(a) through (f), 10.2,
         11.1, 12.1, 22.1 and 23.1), (B) with respect to the Little Rock Property convey to Lessor or its
         designee good and marketable title in and to such Property pursuant to documentation acceptable to
         Lessor, free and clear of the Liens created by the Bond Loan Documents and Bond Documents, and
         (C) restore any data center within such Property to a condition of typical Class A office space,
         including, without limitation, removing raised floors, specialized HVAC, mechanical, electrical and
         fire suppression equipment, and installing windows, window coverings and other customary tenant
         improvements.

         10.2     Environmental Inspection.

         If Lessee has not given notice of exercise of its Purchase Option on the Expiration Date pursuant to
Section 20.1 or for whatever reason Lessee does not purchase a Property in accordance with the terms of this
Lease, then not more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration
Date, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor a Phase I environmental site assessment recently prepared
(no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of delivery) by an independent recognized professional
reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and in form, scope and content reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.  The cost
incurred respecting such Phase I environmental site assessment shall be paid for in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 20.3(b).


ARTICLE XI

         11.1     Modifications.

                  (a)      Lessee at its sole cost and expense, at any time and from time to time without the
         consent of Lessor may make modifications, alterations, renovations, improvements and additions to
         any Property or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively,
         "Modifications"), and Lessee shall make any and all Modifications required to be made pursuant to all
         Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and manufacturer's specifications and standards;
         provided, that:  (i) no Modification shall materially impair the value, utility or useful life of any
         Property from that which existed immediately prior to such Modification; (ii) each Modification
         shall be done expeditiously and in a good and workmanlike manner; (iii) no Modification shall
         adversely affect the structural integrity of any Property; (iv) to the extent required by
         Section 14.2(a), Lessee shall maintain builders' risk insurance at all times when a Modification is
         in progress; (v) subject to the terms of Article XIII relating to permitted contests, Lessee shall
         pay all costs and expenses and discharge any Liens arising with respect to any Modification; (vi)
         each Modification shall comply with the requirements of this Lease (including without limitation
         Sections 8.2 and 10.1); and (vii) no Improvement shall be demolished or otherwise rendered unfit for
         use unless Lessee shall finance the proposed replacement Modification outside of this lease
         facility; provided, further, Lessee shall not make any Modification (unless required by any Legal
         Requirement) to the extent any such Modification, individually or in the aggregate, shall have or
         could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All Modifications shall immediately
         and without further action upon their incorporation into the applicable Property (1) become property
         of Lessor (or to the extent required under the Head Lease, the City of Little Rock, and leased to
         the Lessor under the Head Lease), (2) be subject to this Lease and (3) be titled in the name of
         Lessor (or to the extent required under the Head Lease, the City of Little Rock, and leased to the
         Lessor under the Head Lease).  Lessee shall not remove or attempt to remove any Modification from
         any Property.  Each Ground Lease for a Property shall expressly provide for the provisions of the
         foregoing sentence.  Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will pay for the repairs of any damage to
         any Property caused by the removal or attempted removal of any Modification.

                  (b)      The construction process provided for in the Construction Agency Agreement is
         acknowledged by Lessor to be consistent with and in compliance with the terms and provisions of this
         Article XI.


ARTICLE XII

         12.1     Warranty of Title.

                  (a)      Lessee hereby acknowledges and shall cause title in each Property (including
         without limitation all Equipment, all Improvements, all replacement components to each Property and
         all Modifications) immediately and without further action to vest in and become the property of
         Lessor and to be subject to the terms of this Lease (provided, respecting each Property subject to a
         Ground Lease or the Head Lease, Lessor's interest therein is acknowledged to be a leasehold interest
         pursuant to such Ground Lease or Head Lease, respectively) from and after the date hereof or such
         date of incorporation into any Property.  Lessee agrees that, subject to the terms of Article XIII
         relating to permitted contests, Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain,
         and shall promptly discharge at its sole cost and expense, any Lien, defect, attachment, levy, title
         retention agreement or claim upon any Property, any component thereof or any Modifications or any
         Lien, attachment, levy or claim with respect to the Rent or with respect to any amounts held by
         Lessor, the Agent, any Lender or any Holder pursuant to any Operative Agreement, other than
         Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens.  Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in the event it receives
         actual knowledge that a Lien other than a Permitted Lien or Lessor Lien has occurred with respect to
         a Property, the Rent or any other such amounts, and Lessee represents and warrants to, and covenants
         with, Lessor that the Liens in favor of Lessor and/or the Agent created by the Operative Agreements
         are (and until the Financing Parties under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full shall
         remain) first priority perfected Liens subject only to Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens.  At all
         times subsequent to the Basic Term Commencement Date respecting a Property, Lessee shall (i) cause a
         valid, perfected, first priority Lien on each applicable Property to be in place in favor of the
         Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders and the Holders) and (ii) file, or cause to be filed, all
         necessary documents under the applicable real property law and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
         Code to perfect such title and Liens.  In addition, with respect to the Little Rock Property, from
         and after the Property Closing Date with respect thereto, Lessee shall at all times (i) cause a
         valid, perfected, first priority (x) Lien to be placed on the Bond Estate in favor of the Bond
         Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2000-B Bond Purchaser, (y) collateral assignment of the Series
         2000-B Bond Purchaser's rights under the Bond Documents to be placed in favor of Lessor, and (z)
         collateral assignment of the Lessor's rights under the Bond Loan Documents to be placed in favor of
         the Agent (for the benefit of the Holders and the Lenders) and (ii) cause the Head Lease to be in
         full force and effect between the City of Little Rock, as lessor, and the Lessor, as lessee.

                  (b)      Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or
         request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor, mechanic,
         laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any
         materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to any Property or
         any part thereof.  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSOR IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR,
         SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING A PROPERTY OR ANY
         PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR,
         SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LESSOR IN AND TO ANY PROPERTY.


ARTICLE XIII

         13.1     Permitted Contests Other Than in Respect of Indemnities.

         Except to the extent otherwise provided for in Section 11 of the Participation Agreement, Lessee, on
its own or on Lessor's behalf but at Lessee's sole cost and expense, may contest, by appropriate
administrative or judicial proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity
or application, in whole or in part, of any Legal Requirement, Imposition or utility charge payable pursuant
to Section 4.1 or any Lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance or encroachment, and Lessor agrees not to pay,
settle or otherwise compromise any such item, provided, that (a) the commencement and continuation of such
proceedings shall suspend the collection of any such contested amount from, and suspend the enforcement
thereof against, the applicable Properties, Lessor, Trustee, each Holder, the Agent and each Lender; (b)
there shall not be imposed a Lien (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) on any Property and no part
of any Property nor any Rent would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited, lost or deferred; (c) at no
time during the permitted contest shall there be a risk of the imposition of criminal liability or material
civil liability on Lessor, Trustee, any Holder, the Agent or any Lender for failure to comply therewith; and
(d) in the event that, at any time, there shall be a material risk of extending the application of such item
beyond the end of the Term, then Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the
matters set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 13.1.  Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and
expense, shall execute and deliver to Lessee such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be
required in connection with any such contest and, if reasonably requested by Lessee, shall join as a party
therein at Lessee's sole cost and expense.

         13.2     Impositions, Utility Charges, Other Matters; Compliance with Legal Requirements.

         Except with respect to Impositions, Legal Requirements, utility charges and such other matters
referenced in Section 13.1 which are the subject of ongoing proceedings contesting the same in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Section 13.1, Lessee shall cause (a) all Impositions, utility charges and
such other matters to be timely paid, settled or compromised, as appropriate, with respect to each Property
and (b) each Property to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements.


ARTICLE XIV

         14.1     Public Liability and Workers' Compensation Insurance.

         During the Term for each Property, Lessee shall procure and carry, at Lessee's sole cost and expense
(except as provided in the next sentence), commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance for
claims for injuries or death sustained by persons or damage to property while on such Property or respecting
the Equipment and such other public liability coverages as are then customarily carried by similarly situated
companies conducting business similar to that conducted by Lessee (including automobile insurance).  During
the Construction Period of a Property, the Lessee shall procure and carry all such insurance referenced in
the immediately preceding sentence for such Property, but Lessor shall pay the costs of obtaining such
insurance so long as (i) such costs are properly described in a Requisition delivered by the Construction
Agent or the Lessor otherwise has knowledge such payment is due and (ii) funds are made available by the
Lenders and Holders in connection with such Requisition in an amount sufficient to allow such payment, and
thereafter such costs will be paid by the Lessee.  Such insurance shall be on terms and in amounts that are
no less favorable than insurance maintained by Lessee with respect to similar properties and equipment that
it owns and are then carried by similarly situated companies conducting business similar to that conducted by
Lessee, and in no event shall have a minimum combined single limit per occurrence coverage (i) for commercial
general liability of less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) for an
additional, project specific commercial general liability of less than $25,000,000 in the aggregate during
the Construction Period for each Property (or, in the case of the Phoenix Property, during the Construction
Period upon any Advance of Hard Costs with respect to such Property) and (iii) for umbrella liability of less
than $100,000,000.  The policies shall name Lessee as the insured and shall be endorsed to name Lessor, the
Holders, the Agent and the Lenders (and solely with respect to the Little Rock Property, the Trustee, the
Bond Trustee and the City of Little Rock) as additional insureds.  The policies shall also specifically
provide that such policies shall be considered primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or claim
before any contribution by any insurance which Lessor, any Holder, the Agent or any Lender may have in
force.  In the operation of the Properties, Lessee shall comply with applicable workers' compensation laws
and protect Lessor, each Holder, the Agent and each Lender against any liability under such laws.

         14.2     Course of Construction, Permanent Hazard and Other Insurance.

                  (a)      During the Term for each Property, Lessee shall keep such Property insured against
         all risk of physical loss or damage by fire and other risks (including boiler and machinery perils,
         flood with an annual aggregate for each Property of $5,000,000 and earthquake with an annual
         aggregate for each Property of $10,000,000) and shall maintain or cause to be maintained builders'
         risk insurance during construction of any Improvements or Modifications in each case in amounts no
         less than (x) during the Construction Period, an amount at least equal to the sum of the Property
         Cost of such Property plus the amount of any deductibles payable by the policyholder of such
         insurance and (y) during the Term, the then current replacement value of such Property (assuming
         that such Property was in the condition required by the terms of this Lease immediately prior to
         such loss) and on terms that (i) are no less favorable than insurance covering other similar
         properties owned by Lessee and (ii) are then carried by similarly situated companies conducting
         business similar to that conducted by Lessee.  The policies shall name Lessee as the insured and
         shall be endorsed to name Lessor and the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders and the Holders) as a named
         additional insured and loss payee, to the extent of their respective interests; provided, prior to
         the Rent Commencement Date for any Property any loss payable under the insurance policies required
         by this Section and any amounts paid to the Lessee under such policies and any condemnation
         proceeds, award or other compensation to which Lessee or Lessor may become entitled by reason of
         their respective interests in the Property, will be paid, or immediately turned over by the Lessee,
         to Lessor.  All amounts held by the Lessor hereunder with respect to any Property on account of any
         award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to Lessor or turned over to Lessor
         shall be held as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other
         Operative Agreements and to the extent no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing at such time, Lessor shall pay such amounts so held by Lessor to the Construction Agent
         in order to complete construction of such Property from time to time under substantially the same
         conditions as Advances are made during the Construction Period.

                  (b)      If, during the Term with respect to a Property the area in which such Property is
         located is designated a "flood-prone" area pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, or
         any amendments or supplements thereto or is in a zone designated A or V, then Lessee shall comply
         with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
         1973.  In addition, Lessee will fully comply with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance
         Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as each may be amended from time to time,
         and with any other Legal Requirement, concerning flood insurance to the extent that it applies to
         any such Property.

                  (c)      During the Term, Lessee shall, in the operation and use of each Property, maintain
         workers' compensation insurance consistent with that carried by similarly situated companies
         conducting business similar to that conducted by Lessee and containing minimum liability limits of
         no less than $100,000.  In the operation of each Property, Lessee shall comply with workers'
         compensation laws applicable to Lessee, and protect Lessor, each Holder, the Agent and each Lender
         (and solely with respect to the Little Rock Property, the Trustee, the Bond Trustee and the City of
         Little Rock) against any liability under such laws.

                  (d)      During the Term, Lessee will maintain environmental liability insurance with
         respect to the Little Rock Property acceptable to the Agent and the Majority Secured Parties.

                  (e)      During the Term, Lessee will maintain remediation cost cap insurance with respect
         to the Little Rock Property acceptable to the Agent and the Majority Secured Parties.

                  (f)      During the Construction Period with respect to a Property, the Lessee shall procure
         and carry or cause to be procured and carried all such insurance referenced in the immediately
         preceding clauses (a)-(e) for such Property, but Lessor shall pay the costs of obtaining such
         insurance so long as (i) such costs are properly described in a Requisition delivered by the
         Construction Agent or the Lessor otherwise has knowledge such payment is due and (ii) funds are made
         available by the Lenders and Holders in connection with such Requisition in an amount sufficient to
         allow such payment, and thereafter such costs shall be paid by the Lessee.

         14.3     Coverage.

                  (a)      As of the date of this Lease and annually thereafter during the Term, Lessee shall
         furnish the Agent (on behalf of Lessor and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) with
         certificates prepared by the insurers or insurance broker of Lessee showing the insurance required
         under Sections 14.1 and 14.2 is in effect, naming (to the extent of their respective interests)
         Lessor, the Trustee, the Bond Trustee, the City of Little Rock, the Holders, the Agent and the
         Lenders as additional insureds and loss payees and evidencing the other requirements of this
         Article XIV together with such other evidence that the insurance required under Section 14.1 and 14.2
         are in effect as the Agent shall reasonably request.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 14.1 and
         14.2(f) hereof, all such insurance shall be at the cost and expense of Lessee, and shall be provided
         by nationally recognized, financially sound insurance companies having an A/XI or better rating by
         A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide during the Construction Period and an A-/IX or better rating by A.M.
         Best's Key Rating Guide thereafter.  Lessee shall cause such certificates to include a provision for
         thirty (30) days' advance written notice by the insurer to the Agent (on behalf of Lessor and the
         other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) in the event of cancellation or material alteration
         of such insurance.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent (on behalf
         of Lessor and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) so requests, Lessee shall deliver
         to the Agent (on behalf of Lessor and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) copies of
         all insurance policies required by Sections 14.1 and 14.2.

                  (b)      Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required by Sections 14.1 and
         14.2 shall include (i) an appropriate clause pursuant to which any such policy shall provide that it
         will not be invalidated should Lessee, any Contractor or any Financing Party, as the case may be,
         waive, at any time, any or all rights of recovery against any party for losses covered by such
         policy or due to any breach of warranty, fraud, action, inaction or misrepresentation by Lessee, any
         Financing Party, or any Person acting on behalf of Lessee, and (ii) a so called "Waiver of
         Subrogation" clause.  Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights against Lessor, the Trustee, the
         Bond Trustee, the City of Little Rock, the Holders, the Agent and the Lenders to the extent of
         payments made to any such Person under any such policy.

                  (c)      Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form
         or contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required under this Article XIV, except that
         Lessor may carry separate liability insurance at Lessor's sole cost so long as (i) Lessee's
         insurance is designated as primary and in no event excess or contributory to any insurance Lessor
         may have in force which would apply to a loss covered under Lessee's policy and (ii) each such
         insurance policy will not cause Lessee's insurance required under this Article XIV to be subject to
         a coinsurance exception of any kind.

                  (d)      Subject to provisions of Section 14.1 and 14.2(f) hereof, Lessee shall pay as they
         become due all premiums for the insurance required by Section 14.1 and Section 14.2, and Lessee
         shall renew or replace each policy prior to the expiration date thereof or otherwise maintain the
         coverage required by such Sections without any lapse in coverage.

         14.4     Additional Insurance Requirements.

         Not in limitation of any provision of the Operative Agreements but in addition thereto, Lessee shall
obtain any and all additional insurance policies (including without limitation with respect to Condemnation)
with regard to the Properties or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements as requested from time to time by Lessor.


ARTICLE XV

         15.1     Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (a)      Subject to the provisions of the Construction Agency Agreement and this Article XV
         and Article XVI (in the event Lessee delivers, or is obligated to deliver or is deemed to have
         delivered, a Termination Notice), and prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an
         Event of Default, Lessee shall be entitled to receive (and Lessor hereby irrevocably assigns to
         Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in) any condemnation proceeds, award, compensation
         or insurance proceeds under Section 14.2 hereof to which Lessee or Lessor may become entitled by
         reason of their respective interests in a Property (i) if all or a portion of such Property is
         damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a Casualty or (ii) if the use, access, occupancy,
         easement rights or title to such Property or any part thereof is the subject of a Condemnation;
         provided, however, if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if
         such award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall exceed $1,000,000, then such award,
         compensation or insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Lessor or, if received by Lessee, shall
         be held in trust for Lessor, and shall be paid over by Lessee to Lessor and held in accordance with
         the terms of this Article XV.  All amounts held by Lessor hereunder on account of any award,
         compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to Lessor or turned over to Lessor shall be
         held as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other Operative
         Agreements and (i) to the extent no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing at such time, Lessor shall pay such amounts so held by Lessor to Lessee either (A) from
         time to time under substantially the same conditions as Advances were made to the Construction Agent
         during the Construction Period as Lessee restores and repairs such Property pursuant to Section 15.1
         (e), or (B) promptly upon Lessee's payment in full of the Termination Value for such Property
         pursuant to Article XVI or (ii) to the extent a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing, all amounts so held by Lessor shall be paid over to Lessee when such obligations of
         Lessee with respect to such matters (and all other obligations of Lessee which should have been
         satisfied pursuant to the Operative Agreements as of such date) have been satisfied and no Default
         or Event of Default is then continuing.

                  (b)      Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate, prosecute, adjust or
         appeal any claim for any award, compensation or insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or
         Condemnation and shall pay all expenses thereof.  At Lessee's reasonable request, and at Lessee's
         sole cost and expense, Lessor and the Agent shall participate in any such proceeding, action,
         negotiation, prosecution or adjustment.  Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the
         rights of Lessor and Lessee in and to any such award, compensation or insurance payment.

                  (c)      If Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or a Condemnation of a Property or any
         interest therein where damage to the affected Property is estimated to equal or exceed twenty-five
         percent (25%) of the Property Cost of such Property, Lessee shall give notice thereof to Lessor
         promptly after Lessee's receipt of such notice.  In the event such a Casualty or Condemnation occurs
         (regardless of whether Lessee gives notice thereof), then Lessee shall be deemed to have delivered a
         Termination Notice to Lessor and the provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 shall apply.

                  (d)      In the event of a Casualty or a Condemnation (regardless of whether notice thereof
         must be given pursuant to paragraph (c)), this Lease shall terminate with respect to the applicable
         Property in accordance with Section 16.1 if Lessee, within thirty (30) days after such occurrence,
         delivers to Lessor a notice to such effect.

                  (e)      If pursuant to this Section 15.1 this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
         following a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to the affected Property, Lessee shall, at its
         sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) promptly and
         diligently repair any damage to the applicable Property caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in
         conformity with the requirements of Sections 10.1 and 11.1, using the as-built Plans and
         Specifications or manufacturer's specifications for the applicable Improvements, Equipment or other
         components of the applicable Property (as modified to give effect to any subsequent Modifications,
         any Condemnation affecting the applicable Property and all applicable Legal Requirements), so as to
         restore the applicable Property to the same or a greater remaining economic value, useful life,
         utility, condition, operation and function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or
         Condemnation (assuming all maintenance and repair standards have been satisfied). In such event,
         title to the applicable Property shall remain with Lessor.

                  (f)      In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect Lessee's obligations to pay
         Rent pursuant to Article III.

                  (g)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 15.1(a) or
         Section 15.1(e), if during the Term with respect to a Property a Casualty occurs with respect to such
         Property or Lessee receives notice of a Condemnation with respect to such Property, and following
         such Casualty or Condemnation, the applicable Property cannot reasonably be restored, repaired or
         replaced on or before the day one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date or the date
         nine (9) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation to the same or a greater
         remaining economic value, useful life, utility, condition, operation and function as existed
         immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation (assuming all maintenance and repair standards
         have been satisfied) or on or before such day such Property is not in fact so restored, repaired or
         replaced, then Lessee shall be required to exercise its Purchase Option for such Property on the
         next Payment Date (notwithstanding the limits on such exercise contained in Section 20.2) and pay
         Lessor the Termination Value for such Property and, upon receipt of such amount, and all other
         amounts due and owing by the Lessee, Lessor shall convey such Property to Lessee in accordance with
         the provisions of Section 20.2 hereof; provided, if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and
         is continuing, Lessee shall also promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay
         Lessor any award, compensation or insurance proceeds received on account of any Casualty or
         Condemnation with respect to any Property; provided, further, that if no Default or Event of Default
         has occurred and is continuing, any Excess Proceeds shall be paid to Lessee.  If a Default or an
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any Loans, Holder Advances or other amounts are
         owing with respect thereto, then any Excess Proceeds (to the extent of any such Loans, Holder
         Advances or other amounts owing with respect thereto) shall be paid to Lessor, held as security for
         the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and
         applied to such obligations upon the exercise of remedies in connection with the occurrence of an
         Event of Default, with the remainder of such Excess Proceeds in excess of such Loans, Holder
         Advances and other amounts owing with respect thereto, being distributed to the Lessee.

                  (h)      The provisions of Sections 15.1(a) through 15.1(g) shall not apply to any Property
         until after the Construction Period Termination Date applicable to such Property.

         15.2     Environmental Matters.

         Promptly upon Lessee's actual knowledge of the presence of Hazardous Substances in any portion of
any Property or Properties in concentrations and conditions that constitute an Environmental Violation and
which, in the reasonable opinion of Lessee, the cost to undertake any legally required response, clean up,
remedial or other action will or might result in a cost to Lessee of more than $1,000,000, Lessee shall
notify Lessor in writing of such condition.  In the event of any Environmental Violation (regardless of
whether notice thereof must be given), Lessee shall, not later than thirty (30) days after Lessee has actual
knowledge of such Environmental Violation, either deliver to Lessor a Termination Notice with respect to the
applicable Property or Properties pursuant to Section 16.1, if applicable, or, at Lessee's sole cost and
expense, promptly and diligently undertake and diligently complete any response, clean up, remedial or other
action (including without limitation the pursuit by Lessee of appropriate action against any off-site or
third party source for contamination) necessary to remove, cleanup or remediate the Environmental Violation
in accordance with all Environmental Laws.  Any such undertaking shall be timely completed in accordance with
prudent industry standards.  If Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice with respect to such Property
pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee shall, upon completion of remedial action by Lessee, cause to be prepared by
a reputable environmental consultant acceptable to Lessor a report describing the Environmental Violation and
the actions taken by Lessee (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, and a statement by
the consultant that the Environmental Violation has been remedied in full compliance with applicable
Environmental Law.  The Lessee shall also comply with its obligations regarding the delivery of environmental
site assessments in connection with its exercising of the Sale Option (as set forth in Section 20.3) or its
election of the Walk-Away Option (as set forth in Section 20.4).

         15.3     Notice of Environmental Matters.

         Promptly,  but in any event  within five (5) Business  Days from the date Lessee has actual  knowledge
thereof,  Lessee  shall  provide  to Lessor  written  notice of any  pending  or  threatened  claim,  action or
proceeding  involving  any  Environmental  Law  or  any  Release  on or in  connection  with  any  Property  or
Properties.  All such  notices  shall  describe  in  reasonable  detail  the  nature  of the  claim,  action or
proceeding and Lessee's  proposed response thereto.  In addition,  Lessee shall provide to Lessor,  within five
(5) Business Days of receipt,  copies of all material written  communications  with any Governmental  Authority
relating to any  Environmental  Law in connection  with any Property.  Lessee shall also promptly  provide such
detailed reports of any such material environmental claims as may reasonably be requested by Lessor.

then, in any such event, Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for in this
Article XVII and in Section 18.1, terminate this Lease and/or Lessee's right of possession in any Property by
giving Lessee five (5) days notice of such termination (provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease
shall be deemed to be automatically terminated without the giving of notice upon the occurrence of a Lease
Event of Default under Sections 17.1(g), (h) or (i)), and this Lease shall terminate, and all rights of
Lessee under this Lease shall cease.  Lessee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay as
Supplemental Rent all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor or any other Financing Party,
including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, as a result of any Lease Event of
Default hereunder.

                  A POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS LEASE.  A POWER OF SALE MAY ALLOW LESSOR OR A
         TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE, TO TAKE THE PROPERTIES AND SELL THE PROPERTIES WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A
         FORECLOSURE ACTION UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A LEASE EVENT OF DEFAULT.

         17.2     Surrender of Possession.

         If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall, upon thirty (30) days written notice,
surrender to Lessor possession of the Properties.  Lessor may enter upon and repossess the Properties by such
means as are available at law or in equity, and may remove Lessee and all other Persons and any and all
personal property and Lessee's equipment and personalty and severable Modifications from the Properties.
Lessor shall have no liability by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal performed in accordance
with applicable law.  Upon the written demand of Lessor, Lessee shall return the Properties promptly to
Lessor, in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of,
Section 22.1(c) hereof.

         17.3     Reletting.

         If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet
any or all of the Properties, for the account of Lessee or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be
greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such
conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as Lessor may determine, and
Lessor may collect, receive and retain the rents resulting from such reletting.  Lessor shall not be liable
to Lessee for any failure to relet any Property or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such
reletting.

         17.4     Damages.

         Neither (a) the termination of this Lease and/or the Lessee's right of possession as to all or any
of the Properties pursuant to Section 17.1; (b) the repossession of all or any of the Properties; nor (c) the
failure of Lessor to relet all or any of the Properties, the reletting of all or any portion thereof, nor the
failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its
liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or
reletting.  If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding any
termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent and other
sums due and payable hereunder to and including without limitation the date of such termination.  Thereafter,
on the days on which the Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, as applicable, are payable under this Lease or
would have been payable under this Lease if the same had not been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and
until the end of the Term hereof or what would have been the Term in the absence of such termination, Lessee
shall pay Lessor, as current liquidated damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to
determine actual damages) an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent that are payable under this
Lease or would have been payable by Lessee hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated pursuant to
Section 17.1, less the net proceeds, if any, which are actually received by Lessor with respect to the period
in question of any reletting of any Property or any portion thereof; provided, that Lessee's obligation to
make payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent under this Section 17.4 shall continue only so long as
Lessor shall not have received the amounts specified in Section 17.6.  In calculating the amount of such net
proceeds from reletting, there shall be deducted all of Lessor's, Trustee's, Bond Trustee's, any Holder's,
the Agent's and any Lender's reasonable expenses in connection therewith, including without limitation
repossession costs, brokerage or sales commissions, fees and expenses for counsel and any necessary repair or
alteration costs and expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting.  To the extent Lessor receives any
damages pursuant to this Section 17.4, such amounts shall be regarded as amounts paid on account of Rent.
Lessee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 17.4 shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case may be,
without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or
recoupment whatsoever.

         17.5     Power of Sale.

         Without limiting any other remedies set forth in this Lease, Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee has
granted, pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof and each Lease Supplement, a Lien against the Properties WITH
POWER OF SALE, and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Lease Event of Default, Lessor
shall have the power and authority, to the extent provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time
as may be required by law, to foreclose Lessor's interest (or cause such interest to be foreclosed) in all or
any part of the Properties.  With respect to any Property located in Arizona, the POWER OF SALE referenced in
this Section 17.5 shall be deemed to be granted to First American Title Insurance Company, as trustee, and
not to the Lessor.

         17.6     Final Liquidated Damages.

         If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not this Lease shall
have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and whether or not Lessor shall have collected any current
liquidated damages pursuant to Section 17.4, Lessor shall have the right to recover, by demand to Lessee and
at Lessor's election, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as and for final liquidated damages, but exclusive of
the indemnities payable under Section 11 of the Participation Agreement (which, if requested, shall be paid
concurrently), and in lieu of all current liquidated damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed
that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages) the Termination Value as well as current
liquidated damages (prior to date of demand).  Upon payment of the amount specified pursuant to the first
sentence of this Section 17.6, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from Lessor, either at Lessee's request or
upon Lessor's election, in either case at Lessee's cost, an assignment of Lessor's entire right, title and
interest in and to the Properties, Improvements, Fixtures, Modifications, Equipment and all components
thereof, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and clear of
the Lien of this Lease (including without limitation the release of any memoranda of Lease and/or the Lease
Supplement recorded in connection therewith) and any Lessor Liens.  The Properties shall be conveyed to
Lessee "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" and in their then present physical condition.  If any statute or rule of law shall
limit the amount of such final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon, Lessor shall be
entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law; provided, however, Lessee shall
not be entitled to receive an assignment of Lessor's interest in the Properties, the Improvements, Fixtures,
Modifications, Equipment or the components thereof unless Lessee shall have paid in full the Termination
Value.  Lessee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 17.6 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case
may be, without notice or demand except as expressly provided herein and without any abatement, reduction,
diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.

         17.7     Environmental Costs.

         If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall pay directly to any third party (or at
Lessor's election, reimburse Lessor) for the cost of any environmental testing and/or remediation work
undertaken respecting any Property, as such testing or work is deemed appropriate in the reasonable judgment
of Lessor, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and each other Indemnified Person therefrom.  Lessee
shall pay all amounts referenced in the immediately preceding sentence within ten (10) days of any request by
Lessor for such payment.

         17.8     Waiver of Certain Rights.

         If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by Law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or
possession; (b) any right of redemption, re-entry or possession; (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter
in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (d) any other rights which might
otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XVII.

         17.9     Assignment of Rights Under Contracts.

         If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall upon Lessor's demand immediately assign,
transfer and set over to Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to each agreement executed
by Lessee in connection with the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction,
operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Properties (including without limitation
all right, title and interest of Lessee with respect to all warranty, performance, service and indemnity
provisions), as and to the extent that the same relate to the acquisition, installation, testing, use,
development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Properties or
any of them.

         17.10    Remedies Cumulative.

         The remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any
other remedies available at law, equity or otherwise, including without limitation any mortgage foreclosure
remedies.

         18.1     Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's Lease Defaults.

         Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Lease Event of Default, may (but shall be
under no obligation to) remedy any Lease Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of
Lessee, including without limitation the failure by Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Article XIV,
and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of
Lessee, enter upon any Property, and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate
therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of any lessee.  All out-of-pocket costs and expenses so
incurred (including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the
Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor on demand.


ARTICLE XIX

         19.1     Provisions Relating to Lessee's Exercise of its Purchase Option.

         Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any termination of this Lease with respect to any
Property pursuant to the terms of Section 16.2, or in connection with Lessee's exercise of its Purchase
Option, upon the date on which this Lease is to terminate with respect to any Property, and upon tender by
Lessee of the amounts set forth in Sections 16.2(b) or 20.2, as applicable, Lessor shall execute and deliver
to Lessee (or to Lessee's designee) at Lessee's cost and expense an assignment (by deed or other appropriate
instrument) of Lessor's entire interest in such Property, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in
conformity with local custom and free and clear of any Lessor Liens attributable to Lessor but without any
other warranties (of title or otherwise) from Lessor.  Such Property shall be conveyed to Lessee "AS-IS,
"WHERE-IS" and in then present physical condition.

         19.2     No Purchase or Termination With Respect to Less than All of a Property.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 20.1 hereof, Lessee shall not be entitled to
exercise its Purchase Option or the Sale Option separately with respect to a portion of any Property
consisting of Land, Equipment, Improvements and/or any interest pursuant to a Ground Lease but shall be
required to exercise its Purchase Option or the Sale Option with respect to an entire Property.


ARTICLE XX

         20.1     Purchase Option, Sale Option or Walk-Away Option - General Provisions.

         Not less than one hundred twenty (120) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
the Expiration Date or (respecting the Purchase Option only) any Payment Date, Lessee may give Lessor
irrevocable written notice (the "Election Notice") that Lessee is electing to exercise either (a) the option
to purchase all, but not less than all, the Properties on the Expiration Date or on the Payment Date
specified in the Election Notice or to cause its nominee to complete such purchase (the "Purchase Option"),
(b) with respect to an Election Notice given in connection with the Expiration Date only, the option to
remarket all, but not less than all, the Properties to a Person other than Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee
and cause a sale of such Properties to occur on the Expiration Date pursuant to the terms of Section 22.1
(the "Sale Option") or (c) with respect to an Election Notice given in connection with the Expiration Date
only, the option to pay the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount on the Expiration Date and surrender, or cause
to be surrendered, each of the Properties in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.1 (the
"Walk-Away Option").  If Lessee does not give an Election Notice indicating the Purchase Option, the Sale
Option or the Walk-Away Option at least one hundred twenty (120) days and not more than one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date, then, unless such Expiration Date is the final Expiration Date
to which the Term may be extended, the term of this Lease shall be extended in accordance with Section 2.2
hereof; if such Expiration Date is the final Expiration Date, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the
Purchase Option.  If Lessee shall either (i) elect (or be deemed to have elected) to exercise the Purchase
Option, (ii) elect the Sale Option and fail to cause all, but not less than all, the Properties to be sold in
accordance with the terms of Section 22.1 on the Expiration Date or (iii) elect the Walk-Away Option and fail
to either pay the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount on the Expiration Date or to surrender, or cause to be
surrendered, each of the Properties in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.1 on the
Expiration Date, then in any such case Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the date on which such purchase or sale
is scheduled to occur an amount equal to the Termination Value for all, but not less than all, the Properties
(which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase price) and, upon receipt of such amounts and
satisfaction of such obligations, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to all, but not less than all, the Properties in accordance with Section 20.2.

         In addition, at Lessee's option and without the consent of any Financing Party, Lessee may provide
irrevocable written notice to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days and, no more than one hundred
eighty (180) days, prior to any Payment Date (in all cases prior to Lessee's election of the Purchase Option,
Sale Option or Walk-Away Option with respect to the Properties) that Lessee desires to purchase Lessor's
right, title and interest in and to the undeveloped real property portion of any Property (hereinafter
referred to as "Excess Land") on such Payment Date, if (i) such Excess Land to be purchased by Lessee has a
separate legal and tax parcel number, (ii) the conveyance of such right, title and interest in and to such
Excess Land will not impair the access, use, occupancy or fair market value of the Properties remaining in
the Trust after such conveyance, (iii) the Properties remaining in the Trust (A) shall constitute one or more
legal and tax parcels, (B) shall contain at least one building (or building in construction), (C) shall be
viable as a separate property in compliance with Legal Requirements and (D) shall have a fair market value
(as determined by the Appraisal Procedure) of 100% or more of the Property Cost allocable to such remaining
Properties and (v) at the time of sale to Lessee of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to such Excess
Land, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than those that will be
cured by the payment of the purchase price for such Excess Land) (the terms referenced in the foregoing
subsections (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), may be referred to as the "Parcel Sale Requirements"). To the
extent the Parcel Sale Requirements are satisfied, Lessor shall sell Lessor's right, title and interest in
and to such Excess Land to Lessee as provided in Section 20.2 on the Payment Date specified in such notice
for a purchase price equal to the Property Cost allocable to such Excess Land as agreed upon between the
Lessor and the Lessee (which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase price).

         20.2     Lessee Purchase Option.

         Provided, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than those
that will be cured by the payment of the Termination Value for all the Properties) and provided, that the
Election Notice has been appropriately given specifying the Purchase Option, Lessee shall purchase or shall
cause its nominee to purchase all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Properties for which
the Purchase Option was elected (or deemed elected) on the date on which such purchase is scheduled to occur
at a price equal to the Termination Value for such Properties (which the parties do not intend to be a
"bargain" purchase price).

         Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any termination of this Lease with respect to any
Property pursuant to the terms of Section 16.2, or in connection with Lessee's exercise of its Purchase
Option, upon the date on which this Lease is to terminate with respect to a Property or all of the
Properties, and upon tender by Lessee of the amounts set forth in Section 16.2(b) or this Section 20.2, as
applicable, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where required) and deliver to Lessee, at Lessee's cost and
expense, each of the following:  (a) a termination or assignment (as reasonably requested by the Lessee) of
the Head Lease and each applicable Ground Lease and special or limited warranty Deeds conveying such Property
(to the extent it is real property not subject to the Head Lease or a Ground Lease) to Lessee free and clear
of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale
conveying such Property (to the extent it is personal property and not subject to the Head Lease) to Lessee
free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (c) any real
estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be executed and filed in order to record the
applicable Deed and/or the applicable Head Lease or Ground Lease termination; and (d) FIRPTA affidavits.  All
of the foregoing documentation must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.  The
applicable Property shall be conveyed to Lessee "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" and in then present physical condition.

         If any Property is the subject of remediation efforts respecting Hazardous Substances at the
Expiration Date which could materially and adversely impact the Fair Market Sales Value of such Property
(with materiality determined in Lessor's discretion), then Lessee shall be obligated to purchase Lessor's
right, title and interest in and to each such Property pursuant to Section 20.2.

         On the Expiration Date and/or any Payment Date on which Lessee has elected to exercise its Purchase
Option, Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lessor, the Agent and all other parties, as appropriate,
the sum of all costs and expenses incurred by any such party in connection with the election by Lessee to
exercise its Purchase Option and all Rent and all other amounts then due and payable or accrued under this
Lease and/or any other Operative Agreement.

         20.3     Third Party Sale Option.

                  (a)      Provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing and (ii) the Election Notice has been appropriately given specifying the Sale Option,
         Lessee shall undertake to cause a sale of the Properties on the Expiration Date (all as specified in
         the Election Notice) in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.1 hereof.

                  (b)      In the event Lessee exercises the Sale Option then, as soon as practicable and in
         all events not less than sixty (60) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
         the Expiration Date, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor such investigations as deemed
         necessary by Lessor, including without limitation, a Phase I environmental site assessment for each
         of the Properties recently prepared (no more than thirty (30) days old) by an independent recognized
         professional reasonably acceptable to Lessor and in form, scope and content reasonably satisfactory
         to Lessor.  Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) shall elect whether the costs incurred respecting
         the above-referenced Phase I environmental site assessment shall be paid by either (i) sales
         proceeds from the Properties, (ii) Lessor (but only the extent amounts are available therefor with
         respect to the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments or each Lender and each
         Holder approves the necessary increases in the Available Commitments and the Available Holder
         Commitments to fund such costs) or (iii) Lessee; provided, amounts funded by the Lenders and the
         Holders with respect to the foregoing shall be added to the Property Cost of each applicable
         Property; provided, further, amounts funded by Lessee with respect to the foregoing shall be a part
         of (and limited by) the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount.  In the event that Lessor shall not have
         received such environmental site assessment (or if remediation has been undertaken to address any
         Environmental Violation or potential Environmental Violation, an additional environmental site
         assessment prepared on the same basis as referenced above in this paragraph) by the date sixty (60)
         days prior to the Expiration Date or in the event that such environmental site assessment (or if
         remediation has been undertaken to address any Environmental Violation or potential Environmental
         Violation, an additional environmental site assessment prepared on the same basis as referenced
         above in this paragraph) shall reveal the existence of any material violation of Environmental Laws,
         other material Environmental Violation or potential material Environmental Violation (with
         materiality determined in each case by Lessor in its reasonable discretion), then Lessee on the
         Expiration Date shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Value for all the Properties
         and any and all other amounts due and owing hereunder.  Upon receipt of such payment and all other
         amounts due under the Operative Agreements, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's right,
         title and interest in and to all the Properties in accordance with Section 19.1.

         20.4     Walk-Away Option.

                  (a)      Provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing and (ii) the Election Notice has been appropriately given specifying the Walk-Away
         Option, Lessee shall pay the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount on the Expiration Date and surrender,
         or cause to be surrendered, each of the Properties in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1.

                  (b)      In the event Lessee exercises the Walk-Away Option then, as soon as practicable and
         in all events not less than sixty (60) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
         the Expiration Date, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor a Phase I environmental site
         assessment for each of the Properties recently prepared (no more than thirty (30) days old) by an
         independent recognized professional reasonably acceptable to Lessor and in form, scope and content
         reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.  Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) shall elect whether the
         costs incurred respecting the above-referenced Phase I environmental site assessment shall be paid
         by either (i) sales proceeds from the Properties (to the extent a sale has been arranged at such
         time), (ii) Lessor (but only the extent amounts are available therefor with respect to the Available
         Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments or each Lender and each Holder approves the
         necessary increases in the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments to fund such
         costs) or (iii) Lessee; provided, amounts funded by the Lenders and the Holders with respect to the
         foregoing shall be added to the Property Cost of each applicable Property; provided, further,
         amounts funded by Lessee with respect to the foregoing shall be a part of (and limited by) the
         Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount.  In the event that Lessor shall not have received such
         environmental site assessment (or, if remediation has been undertaken to address any Environmental
         Violation or potential Environmental Violation, an additional environmental site assessment prepared
         on the same basis as referenced above in this paragraph) by the date sixty (60) days prior to the
         Expiration Date or in the event that such environmental site assessment (or, if remediation has been
         undertaken to address any Environmental Violation or potential Environmental Violation, an
         additional environmental site assessment prepared on the same basis as referenced above in this
         paragraph) shall reveal the existence of any material violation of Environmental Laws, other
         material Environmental Violation or potential material Environmental Violation (with materiality
         determined in each case by Lessor in its reasonable discretion), then Lessee on the Expiration Date
         shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Value for all the Properties and any and all
         other amounts due and owing hereunder.  Upon receipt of such payment and all other amounts due under
         the Operative Agreements, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's rights, title and interest
         in and to all Properties in accordance with Section 19.1.


ARTICLE XXI

         21.1     [Intentionally Omitted].


ARTICLE XXII

         22.1     Sale Procedure.

                  (a)      Nothing in this Article XXII shall adversely affect Lessee's rights with respect to
         the Walk-Away Option to the extent exercised in accordance with Section 20.4.  During the Marketing
         Period, Lessee and/or the Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) shall obtain bids for the cash
         purchase of all the Properties in connection with a sale to one (1) or more third party purchasers
         to be consummated on the Expiration Date or such earlier date as is acceptable to the Agent and the
         Lessee (the "Sale Date") for the highest price available, shall notify Lessor promptly of the name
         and address of each prospective purchaser and the cash price which each prospective purchaser shall
         have offered to pay for each such Property and shall provide Lessor with such additional information
         about the bids and the bid solicitation procedure as Lessor may reasonably request from time to
         time.  All such prospective purchasers must be Persons other than Lessee or any Affiliate of
         Lessee.  On the Sale Date, Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lessor and all other parties,
         as appropriate, all Rent and all other amounts then due and payable or accrued under this Lease
         and/or any other Operative Agreement and Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) shall elect whether
         the costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and/or the Agent respecting the sale of one or more
         Properties shall be paid by either (i) sales proceeds from the Properties, (ii) Lessor (but only the
         extent amounts are available therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the Available
         Holder Commitments or each Lender and each Holder approves the necessary increases in the Available
         Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments to fund such costs and expenses) or (iii) Lessee;
         provided, amounts funded by the Lenders and the Holders with respect to such costs and expenses
         shall be added to the Property Cost of each applicable Property; provided, further, amounts funded
         by Lessee with respect to such costs and expenses shall be a part of (and limited by) the Maximum
         Residual Guarantee Amount of such Property.

                  Lessor may reject any and all bids and may solicit and obtain bids; provided, however, that
         notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may not reject the bids submitted by Lessee if such bids, in
         the aggregate, are greater than or equal to the sum of the Limited Recourse Amount for all the
         Properties, and represent bona fide offers from one (1) or more third party purchaser(s).  If the
         highest price which a prospective purchaser or the prospective purchasers shall have offered to pay
         for all the Properties on the Sale Date is less than the sum of the Limited Recourse Amount for all
         the Properties, or if such bids do not represent bona fide offers from one (1) or more third parties
         or if there are no bids, Lessor may elect to retain one or more of the Properties by giving Lessee
         prior written notice of Lessor's election to retain the same, and promptly upon receipt of such
         notice, Lessee shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, each of the Properties specified in such
         notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.1.  Upon acceptance of any bid,
         Lessor agrees, at Lessee's request and expense, to execute a contract of sale with respect to such
         sale, so long as the same is consistent with the terms of this Article 22 and provides by its terms
         that it is nonrecourse to Lessor.

                  Unless Lessor shall have elected to retain one or more of the Properties pursuant to the
         provisions of the preceding paragraph, Lessee and/or Lessor shall arrange for Lessor to sell all the
         Properties free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, any Lien created under or pursuant to the Bond
         Documents and any Lessor Liens attributable to Lessor, without recourse or warranty (of title or
         otherwise), for cash on the Sale Date to the purchaser or purchasers offering the highest cash sales
         price, as identified by Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be; provided, however, solely as to Lessor
         or the Trust Company, in its individual capacity, any Lessor Lien shall not constitute a Lessor Lien
         so long as Lessor or the Trust Company, in its individual capacity, is diligently and in good faith
         contesting, at the cost and expense of Lessor or the Trust Company, in its individual capacity, such
         Lessor Lien by appropriate proceedings in which event the applicable Sale Date, all without penalty
         or cost to Lessee, shall be delayed for the period of such contest.  To effect such transfer and
         assignment, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where required) and deliver to the appropriate
         purchaser each of the following:  (a) special or limited warranty Deeds conveying each such Property
         (to the extent it is real property titled to Lessor) and an assignment of the Ground Lease conveying
         the leasehold interest of Lessor in each such Property (to the extent it is real property and
         subject to a Ground Lease) to the appropriate purchaser free and clear of the Lien of this Lease,
         the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale conveying each such
         Property (to the extent it is personal property) titled to Lessor to the appropriate purchaser free
         and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (c) any
         real estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be executed and filed in order to
         record each Deed and/or each Ground Lease assignment; (d) FIRPTA affidavits, as appropriate; and
         (e) such other documents with respect to the Head Lease as Lessee may reasonably request in order to
         transfer the Little Rock Property free and clear of any Lien created by the Bond Documents.  All of
         the foregoing documentation must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the
         appropriate purchaser.  Lessee shall surrender the Properties so sold or subject to such documents
         to each purchaser in the condition specified in Section 10.1, or in such other condition as may be
         agreed between Lessee and such purchaser.  Lessee shall not take or fail to take any action which
         would have the effect of unreasonably discouraging bona fide third party bids for any Property.  If
         any Property is not either (i) sold on the Sale Date in accordance with the terms of this
         Section 22.1, or (ii) retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant
         to the second sentence of the second paragraph of this Section 22.1(a), then (x) Lessee shall be
         obligated to pay Lessor on the Sale Date an amount equal to the aggregate Termination Value for such
         Property, and (y) Lessor shall transfer such Property to Lessee in accordance with Section 20.2.

                  (b)      If the Properties are sold on a Sale Date to one (1) or more third party purchasers
         in accordance with the terms of Section 22.1(a) and the aggregate purchase price paid for all the
         Properties is less than the sum the aggregate Property Cost for all the Properties (hereinafter such
         difference shall be referred to as the "Deficiency Balance"), then Lessee hereby unconditionally
         promises to pay to Lessor on the Sale Date all Rent and all other amounts then due and owing
         pursuant to the Operative Agreements and the lesser of (i) the Deficiency Balance, or (ii) the
         Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for all the Properties; provided, however, in no event shall
         Lessee be required to pay more than the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for any individual
         Property.  On a Sale Date if (x) Lessor receives the aggregate Termination Value for all the
         Properties from one (1) or more third party purchasers, (y) Lessor and such other parties receive
         all other amounts specified in the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 22.1(a) and (z)
         the aggregate purchase price paid for all the Properties on such date exceeds the sum of the
         aggregate Property Cost for all the Properties, then Lessee may retain such excess.  If one or more
         the Properties are retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant to
         the provisions of Section 22.1(a), then Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lessor on
         the Sale Date all Rent and all other amounts then due and owing pursuant to the Operative Agreements
         and an amount equal to the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for the Properties so retained.  Any
         payment of the foregoing amounts described in this Section 22.1(b) shall be made together with a
         payment of all other amounts referenced in the last sentence of the first paragraph of
         Section 22.1(a).

                  (c)      In the event that all the Properties are either sold to one (1) or more third party
         purchasers on the Sale Date or retained by Lessor in connection with an affirmative election made by
         Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.1(a), then in either case on the applicable Sale
         Date Lessee shall provide Lessor or such third party purchaser (unless otherwise agreed by such
         third party purchaser) with (i) all permits, certificates of occupancy, governmental licenses and
         authorizations necessary to use, operate, repair, access and maintain each such Property for the
         purpose it is being used by Lessee, and (ii) such manuals, permits, easements, licenses,
         rights-of-way and other rights and privileges in the nature of an easement as are reasonably
         necessary or desirable in connection with the use, operation, repair, access to or maintenance of
         each such Property for its intended purpose or otherwise as Lessor or such third party purchaser(s)
         shall reasonably request.  All assignments, licenses, easements, agreements and other deliveries
         required by clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (c) shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to
         Lessor or such third party purchaser(s), as applicable, and shall be fully assignable (including
         without limitation both primary assignments and assignments given in the nature of security) without
         payment of any fee, cost or other charge.  Lessee shall also execute any documentation requested by
         Lessor or such third party purchaser(s), as applicable, evidencing the continuation or assignment of
         each Ground Lease.

         22.2     Application of Proceeds of Sale.

         In the event Lessee receives any proceeds of sale of any Property (or portion thereof), such
proceeds shall be deemed to have been received in trust on behalf of Lessor and Lessee shall promptly remit
such proceeds to Lessor.  Lessor shall apply the proceeds of sale of any Property in the following order of
priority:

                  (a)      FIRST, to pay or to reimburse Lessor (and/or the Agent, as the case may be) for the
         payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor (and/or the Agent, as the case may
         be) in connection with the sale (to the extent Lessee has not satisfied its obligation to pay such
         costs and expenses);

                  (b)      SECOND, so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect and any Loans or Holder
         Advances or any amount is owing to the Financing Parties under any Operative Agreement, to the Agent
         to be applied pursuant to intercreditor provisions among Lessor, the Lenders and the Holders
         contained in the Operative Agreements; and

                  (c)      THIRD, to Lessee.

         22.3     Indemnity for Excessive Wear.

         If the proceeds of the sale described in Section 22.1 with respect to the Properties shall be less
than the Limited Recourse Amount with respect to the Properties or if the Lessee shall have exercised the
Walk-Away Option with respect to the Properties, and at the time of such sale or at the end of the Term, as
the case may be, it shall have been reasonably determined (pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) that the Fair
Market Sales Value of the Properties shall have been impaired by modifications, subleasing or greater than
expected wear and tear during the term of the Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor within ten (10) days after
receipt of Lessor's written statement (i) the amount of such excess wear and tear determined by the Appraisal
Procedure or (ii) the amount of the Sale Proceeds Shortfall, whichever amount is less.

         22.4     Appraisal Procedure.

         For determining the Fair Market Sales Value of the Properties or any other amount which may,
pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and
Lessee shall use the following procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure").  Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to
reach a mutual agreement as to such amount for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal
Procedure under the applicable section of the Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two
(2) qualified appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1) chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree
thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser within twenty (20) days after notice from
the other party of the selection of its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be
binding on Lessee and Lessor.  If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both
shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing
agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall have been appointed, by the
American Arbitration Association.  The decisions of the three (3) appraisers shall be given within twenty
(20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the appraiser most different from the
average of the other two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee;
provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are equidistant from the third appraisal,
the third appraisal shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee.  The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed
by Lessee shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessor shall be paid
by Lessor (such fees and expenses not being indemnified pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation
Agreement); and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between Lessee and
Lessor.

         22.5      Certain Obligations Continue.

         During the Marketing Period, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the Properties
(including without limitation the installment of Basic Rent due on the Expiration Date) shall continue
undiminished until payment in full to Lessor of the sale proceeds, if any, the lesser of the Deficiency
Balance and the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount, the amount due under Section 22.3, if any, and all other
amounts due to Lessor or any other Person with respect to all Properties or any Operative Agreement.  Lessor
shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee to
obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale, other than as expressly provided in
this Article XXII.


ARTICLE XXIII

         23.1     Holding Over.

         If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of a Property after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease as to such Property (unless such Property is conveyed to Lessee), such possession
shall be as a tenancy at sufferance during which time Lessee shall continue to pay Supplemental Rent that
would be payable by Lessee hereunder were the Lease then in full force and effect with respect to such
Property and Lessee shall continue to pay Basic Rent at the lesser of the highest lawful rate and one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the last payment of Basic Rent due with respect to such Property prior to such
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Such Basic Rent shall be payable from time to time upon
demand by Lessor and such additional amount of Basic Rent shall be applied by Lessor ratably to the Lenders
and the Holders based on their relative amounts of the then outstanding aggregate Property Cost for all
Properties.  During any period of tenancy at sufferance, Lessee shall, subject to the second preceding
sentence, be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but
shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to tenants at sufferance, to
continue their occupancy and use of such Property.  Nothing contained in this Article XXIII shall constitute
the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease as to any Property (unless such Property is conveyed to Lessee) and nothing
contained herein shall be read or construed as preventing Lessor from maintaining a suit for possession of
such Property or exercising any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.


ARTICLE XXIV

         24.1     Risk of Loss.

         During the Term (other than during the Construction Period), unless Lessee shall not be in actual
possession of any Property in question solely by reason of Lessor's exercise of its remedies of dispossession
under Article XVII, the risk of loss or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of such Property as a
result of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or
otherwise is assumed by Lessee, and Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor.


ARTICLE XXV

         25.1     Assignment.

                  (a)      Lessee may not assign this Lease or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or
         with respect to any Property in whole or in part to any Person without the prior written consent of
         the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and Lessor.

                  (b)      No assignment by Lessee (referenced in this Section 25.1 or otherwise) or other
         relinquishment of possession to any Property shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the
         obligations of Lessee to Lessor hereunder and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable
         under the Operative Agreements as to any rights or obligations assigned by Lessee or regarding any
         Property in which rights or obligations have been assigned or otherwise transferred.

         25.2     Subleases.

                  (a)      Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, following the execution
         and delivery of any sublease permitted by this Article XXV, Lessee shall notify Lessor of the
         execution of such sublease.  As of the date of each Lease Supplement, Lessee shall lease the
         respective Property described in such Lease Supplement from Lessor, and any existing tenant
         respecting such Property shall automatically be deemed to be a subtenant of Lessee and not a tenant
         of Lessor.

                  (b)      Without the prior written consent of the Agent, any Lender, any Holder or Lessor
         and subject to the other provisions of this Section 25.2, Lessee may sublet any Property or portion
         thereof during the Term to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee.  Except as referenced in the
         immediately preceding sentence, no other subleases shall be permitted unless consented to in writing
         by Lessor and the Majority Secured Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  All
         subleasing shall be done on market terms and shall in no way diminish the fair market value or
         useful life of any applicable Property.

                  (c)      No sublease (referenced in this Section 25.2 or otherwise) or other relinquishment
         of possession to any Property shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Lessee's obligations to
         Lessor hereunder and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease as to such
         Property, or portion thereof, so sublet.  During the Basic Term, the term of any such sublease shall
         not extend beyond the Basic Term.  During any Renewal Term, the term of any such sublease shall not
         extend beyond such Renewal Term.  Each sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate to this
         Lease.


ARTICLE XXVI

         26.1     No Waiver.

         No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to
exercise any right, power or remedy upon a default hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of
Rent during the continuance of any such default, shall constitute a waiver of any such default or of any such
term.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no waiver of any default shall affect or alter this Lease, and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
default.


ARTICLE XXVII

         27.1     Acceptance of Surrender.

         No surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of all or any portion of any Property or of any part of any
thereof or of any interest therein shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by
Lessor and no act by Lessor or the Agent or any representative or agent of Lessor or the Agent, other than a
written acceptance, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

         27.2     No Merger of Title.

         There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the
fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, (a) this
Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate, (b) any
right, title or interest in any Property, (c) any Notes, or (d) a beneficial interest in Lessor.


ARTICLE XXVIII

         28.1     Incorporation of Covenants.

         Reference is made to the Lessee Credit Agreement and the representations and warranties of Lessee
contained in Article III of the Lessee Credit Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Incorporated
Representations and Warranties") and the covenants contained in Articles V, VI, and VII of the Lessee Credit
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Incorporated Covenants").  Lessee agrees with Lessor that the
Incorporated Representations and Warranties and the Incorporated Covenants (and all other relevant provisions
of the Lessee Credit Agreement related thereto, including without limitation the defined terms contained in
Article I thereof which are used in the Incorporated Representations and Warranties and the Incorporated
Covenants, hereinafter referred to as the "Additional Incorporated Terms") are hereby incorporated by
reference into this Lease to the same extent and with the same effect as if set forth fully herein and shall
inure to the benefit of Lessor and the Agent, without giving effect to any waiver, amendment, modification or
replacement of the Lessee Credit Agreement or any term or provision of the Incorporated Representations and
Warranties or the Incorporated Covenants occurring subsequent to the date of this Lease, except to the extent
otherwise specifically provided in the following provisions of this paragraph.  In the event a waiver is
granted under the Lessee Credit Agreement or an amendment or modification is executed with respect to the
Lessee Credit Agreement, and such waiver, amendment and/or modification affects the Incorporated
Representations and Warranties, the Incorporated Covenants or the Additional Incorporated Terms, then such
waiver, amendment or modification shall be effective with respect to the Incorporated Representations and
Warranties, the Incorporated Covenants and the Additional Incorporated Terms as incorporated by reference
into this Lease only if consented to in writing by the Agent (acting upon the direction of the Majority
Secured Parties).  In the event of any replacement of the Lessee Credit Agreement with a similar credit
facility (the "New Facility") the representations and warranties, covenants and additional terms contained in
the New Facility which correspond to the representations and warranties, covenants contained in Article III
and Articles V, VI and VII, respectively, and such additional terms (each of the foregoing contained in the
Lessee Credit Agreement) shall become the Incorporated Representations and Warranties, the Incorporated
Covenants and the Additional Incorporated Terms only if consented to in writing by the Agent (acting upon the
direction of the Majority Secured Parties) and, if such consent is not granted or if the Lessee Credit
Agreement is terminated and not replaced, then the representations and warranties and covenants contained in
Article III and Articles V, VI and VII, respectively, and such additional terms (each of the foregoing
contained in the Lessee Credit Agreement (together with any modifications or amendments approved in
accordance with this paragraph)) shall continue to be the Incorporated Representations and Warranties, the
Incorporated Covenants and the Additional Incorporated Terms hereunder.

of Lessee or Lessor arising from events commencing prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this

other jurisdiction.

Lessor's estate and interest in the Properties (and in no circumstance to the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders

THEREON, THIS SECTION 30.14 SHALL APPLY.  ANY SUCH RENT OR PAYMENTS SO CHARACTERIZED AS INTEREST MAY BE
REFERRED TO HEREIN AS "INTEREST."  ALL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO ARE HEREBY LIMITED BY THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH WHICH SHALL OVERRIDE AND CONTROL ALL SUCH AGREEMENTS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL.  IN NO WAY, NOR IN ANY EVENT OR CONTINGENCY (INCLUDING WITHOUT

THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BE AMORTIZED, PRORATED, ALLOCATED, AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE FULL
STATED TERM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION) OF THIS LEASE SO THAT THE AMOUNT OF

         WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner or will be the owner of or holds a leasehold interest in or will hold a

the same to Lessee;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

         SECTION 1.  Definitions; Rules of Usage.  For purposes of this Lease Supplement, capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A to the
Participation Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2000, among Lessee, Lessor, not individually, except as

as the Holders, the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time,
as the Lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as the Agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security
Documents, as the Agent for the Lenders and Holders, to the extent of their interests, as such may be
amended, modified, extended, supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time.

         SECTION 2.  The Properties.  Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is the description of the Leased
Property, with an Equipment Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 1-A, an Improvement Schedule attached hereto
as Schedule 1-B and [a legal description of the Land / a copy of the Ground Lease] attached hereto as
Schedule 1-C.  Effective upon the execution and delivery of this Lease Supplement by Lessor and Lessee, the
Leased Property shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease.  Without further action, any and
all additional Equipment funded under the Operative Agreements and the Bond Documents and any and all
additional Improvements made to the Land shall be deemed to be titled to the Lessor and subject to the terms
and conditions of the Lease and this Lease Supplement.

         This Lease Supplement shall constitute a mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement and financing
statement under the laws of the state in which the Leased Property is situated.  The maturity date of the
obligations secured hereby shall be October 24, 2005 unless extended to not later than October 24, 2007.

         For purposes of provisions of the Lease and this Lease Supplement related to the creation and
enforcement of the Lease and this Lease Supplement as a security agreement and a fixture filing, Lessee is
the debtor and Lessor is the secured party.  The mailing addresses of the debtor (Lessee herein) and of the
secured party (Lessor herein) from which information concerning security interests hereunder may be obtained
are set forth on the signature pages hereto.  A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of the Lease and
this Lease Supplement or of any financing statement related to the Lease and this Lease Supplement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referenced herein.

         SECTION 3.  Use of Property.  At all times during the Term with respect to each Property, Lessee
will comply with all obligations under and (to the extent no Event of Default exists and provided, that such
exercise will not impair the value of such Property) shall be permitted to exercise all rights and remedies
under, all operation and easement agreements and related or similar agreements applicable to such Property.

         SECTION 4.  Ratification; Incorporation by Reference.  Except as specifically modified hereby, the
terms and provisions of the Lease and the Operative Agreements are hereby ratified and confirmed and remain
in full force and effect.  The Lease is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though restated herein in

"THIS COUNTERPART IS THE ORIGINAL EXECUTED COUNTERPART" on the signature page thereof and containing the
receipt of the Agent therefor on or following the signature page thereof shall be the original executed
counterpart of this Lease Supplement (the "Original Executed Counterpart").  To the extent that this Lease
Supplement constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
any applicable jurisdiction, no security interest in this Lease Supplement may be created through the
transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the Original Executed Counterpart.

         SECTION 6.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS LEASE SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF THE
STATE WHERE A PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS LOCATED ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY.

         SECTION 7.  Mortgage; Power of Sale.  Without limiting any other remedies set forth in the Lease, in
the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Lease constitutes a mortgage, deed of trust
or other secured financing as is the intent of the parties, then Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee hereby
grants a Lien against the Leased Property WITH POWER OF SALE, and that, upon the occurrence of any Lease
Event of Default, Lessor shall have the power and authority, to the extent provided by law, after prior
notice and lapse of such time as may be required by law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest to
be foreclosed) in all or any part of the Leased Property.

         SECTION 8.  Counterpart Execution.  This Lease Supplement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by each of the parties hereto in separate counterparts, all such counterparts together

         THIS MEMORANDUM OF LEASE AGREEMENT AND LEASE SUPPLEMENT NO. ____ ("Memorandum"), dated as of
_____________, 200___, is by and between FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking
association, not individually, but solely as the Owner Trustee under the AC Trust 2000-1, with an office at

CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with an office at [___________________] (hereinafter referred to as
"Lessee")

                                                  WITNESSETH:

         That for value received, Lessor and Lessee do hereby covenant, promise and agree as follows:

         1.       Demised Premises and Date of Lease.  Lessor has leased to Lessee, and Lessee has leased from
Lessor, for the Term (as hereinafter defined), certain real property and other property located in
________________, which is described in the attached Schedule 1 (the "Property"), pursuant to the terms of a
Lease Agreement between Lessor and Lessee dated as of October 24, 2000 (as such may be amended, modified,
extended, supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time, "Lease") and a Lease Supplement No. ____
between Lessor and Lessee dated as of ______________ (the "Lease Supplement").

         The Lease and the Lease Supplement shall constitute a mortgage, deed of trust and security agreement
and financing statement under the laws of the state in which the Property is situated.  The maturity date of
the obligations secured thereby shall be ___________, unless extended to not later than ___________.

         For purposes of provisions of the Lease and the Lease Supplement related to the creation and
enforcement of the Lease and the Lease Supplement as a security agreement and a fixture filing, Lessee is the
debtor and Lessor is the secured party.  The mailing addresses of the debtor (Lessee herein) and of the
secured party (Lessor herein) from which information concerning security interests hereunder may be obtained
are as set forth on the signature pages hereof.  A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Memorandum or of any financing statement related to the Lease and the Lease Supplement shall be sufficient as
a financing statement for any of the purposes referenced herein.

         2.       Term, Renewal, Extension and Purchase Option.  The term of the Lease for the Property
("Term") commenced as of __________, 200__ and shall end as of _________, 200__, unless the Term is extended
or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Lease.  The Lease contains provisions for
renewal and extension.  The tenant has a purchase option under the Lease.

         3.       Tax Payer Numbers.

         Lessor's tax payer number:  __________________.

         Lessee's tax payer number:  __________________.

         4.       Mortgage; Power of Sale.  Without limiting any other remedies set forth in the Lease, in the
event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Lease constitutes a mortgage, deed of trust or
other secured financing as is the intent of the parties, then Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee has
granted, pursuant to the terms of the Lease and the Lease Supplement, a Lien against the Property WITH POWER
OF SALE, and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Lease Event of Default, Lessor shall
have the power and authority, to the extent provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time as may
be required by law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest to be foreclosed) in all or any part of
the Property.

         5.       Effect of Memorandum.  The purpose of this instrument is to give notice of the Lease and the
Lease Supplement and their respective terms, covenants and conditions to the same extent as if the Lease and
the Lease Supplement were fully set forth herein.  This Memorandum shall not modify in any manner the terms,
conditions or intent of the Lease or the Lease Supplement and the parties agree that this Memorandum is not
intended nor shall it be used to interpret the Lease or the Lease Supplement or determine the intent of the
parties under the Lease or the Lease Supplement.

"Participation Agreement") and the Waiver to Certain Operative Agreements dated as of July 20, 2001 by and among

         WHEREAS, prior to the Waiver Agreement, the Lessee advised the Financing Parties that it anticipated
that certain Events of Default did occur or would have occurred under Section 17.1(d) of the Lease Agreement as a
result of the Lessee's failure to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03
of the Lessee Credit Agreement as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2001 and Sections 7.01 and

such covenants, the "Violated Covenants" and such specifically described Events of Default, herein the "Existing

         WHEREAS, the Lessee has requested that the Financing Parties waive their rights to take action under the

so subject to and on the terms of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements as amended hereby.

         NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
AGREEMENT:

         1.       Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning
given to such terms in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement and the Rules of Usage set forth therein shall
apply herein.  The applicable terms defined in the Lessee Credit Agreement, including capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein or in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement, are deemed to be
incorporated and continue herein and in the Operative Agreements as of the date hereof and without giving effect
to any amendments thereto except in accordance with Section 28.1 of the Lease.

         2.       Waiver of Existing Defaults.  Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Financing Parties party hereto agree to waive their rights to take action under the Operative Agreements as a
result of the Existing Defaults.

         3.       Limitation of Waiver.  The waiver specifically described in Section 2 hereof shall not
constitute and shall not be deemed: (a) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default (whether arising as a result
of the further violation of the Violated Covenants, any other Incorporated Covenant or otherwise) or any rights
and remedies arising as a result thereof other than those rights and remedies relating solely to the Existing
Defaults; nor (b) a waiver by the Financing Parties of their right to require the Lessee to comply with Sections
7.01 and 7.04 of the Lessee Credit Agreement after June 30, 2001.  The failure to comply with the Violated
Covenants as of any date or for any period ending on any date, other than as contemplated by the terms permitted
hereby, shall constitute an Event of Default.

         4.       Affirmative and Negative Covenants.  The following shall be added as Sections 8.3(t) - (v),
respectively to the Participation Agreement:

                  (t)      The Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that at all times it shall maintain at least
         $200,000,000 in committed bank credit facilities.

                  (u)      The Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as any Operative Agreement is in
         effect or any amounts payable under any Operative Agreement shall remain outstanding, and until all of
         the Commitments and Holder Commitments shall have terminated, the Lessee will not permit any Credit
         Party or Consolidated Subsidiary to (a) use proceeds of any Loan (as defined in the Lessee Credit
         Agreement) to make any payments under the Equity Forward Agreement, including without limitation the
         refinancing of the Equity Forward Agreement pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, or for any other

         unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
         unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any

guarantor pursuant to the Operative Agreements and the Lessee Credit Agreement.  Each undersigned Financing Party
hereby waives the Existing Defaults and agrees not to exercise any rights or remedies available as a result of the
occurrence thereof.  The waiver specifically described in this Section 7 hereof shall not constitute and shall not

the Violated Covenants, any other Covenant, Incorporated Covenant or otherwise) or any rights and remedies arising
as a result thereof other than those rights and remedies relating solely to the Existing Defaults; nor (b) a waiver
by the Financing Parties of their right to require the Lessee to comply with any of the covenants which were
violated.  The failure to comply with the Violated Covenants other than as contemplated by this Section 7, shall
constitute a Default or Event of Default, as applicable.

         8.       Consent and Amendment Fee.  The Lessee agrees to pay, regardless of whether the other conditions in
Section 10 hereof have been satisfied or if this Agreement is effective, on the Convertible Effective Date to the

to create a course of dealing or otherwise entitle any Credit Party to a consent, a waiver, amendment, modification
or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in any Operative
Agreement in similar or different circumstances in the future.

         10.      Conditions Precedent and Conditions Subsequent.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
