                                     PART I

Item 1. Business

General Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Company") is one of the nation's largest
owners and operators of neighborhood and community shopping centers. As of
February 1, 1998, the Company's portfolio was comprised of 339 property
interests including 273 neighborhood and community shopping center properties,
two regional malls, 62 retail store leases, one leased parcel of undeveloped
land and one distribution center comprising a total of approximately 41.7
million square feet of leasable space located in 37 states. The Company believes
its portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping center properties is the
largest (measured by gross leasable area, "GLA") currently held by any
publicly-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company is a
self-administered REIT and manages its properties through present management,
which has owned and operated neighborhood and community shopping centers for
more than 30 years. The Company has not engaged, nor does it expect to retain,
any REIT advisors in connection with the operation of its properties.

The Company's executive offices are located at 3333 New Hyde Park Road, New Hyde
Park, New York 11042-0020 and its telephone number is (516)869-9000. Unless the
context indicates otherwise, the term the "Company" as used herein is intended
to include subsidiaries of the Company.

History The Company began operations through its predecessor, The Kimco
Corporation, which was organized in 1966 upon the contribution of several
shopping center properties owned by its principal stockholders. In 1973, these
principals formed the Company as a Delaware corporation, and in 1985, the
operations of The Kimco Corporation were merged into the Company. The Company
completed its initial public stock offering (the "IPO") in November 1991, and
reorganized as a Maryland corporation during 1994.

The Company's growth through its first fifteen years resulted primarily from the
ground-up development and construction of its shopping centers. By 1981, the
Company had assembled a portfolio of 77 properties that provided an established
source of income and positioned the Company for an expansion of its asset base.
At that time, the Company revised its strategy to focus on the acquisition of
existing shopping centers because it believed generally that available financial
returns did not justify the risks of continued ground-up development of
properties. Furthermore, the Company's management believed that existing
properties with below market-rate leases were available in the market at
attractive prices. The Company considers such properties to offer greater
leasing flexibility in the event space becomes available or should there be an
overcapacity of space in the local economy. The Company also believes that
opportunities exist to create value through the redevelopment and re-tenanting
of existing shopping centers. As a result of this change in strategy, the
Company has developed only two of the 262 property interests added to its
portfolio since 1981, as compared with 68 of the 77 properties owned prior to
that time.

Investment and Operating Strategy The Company's investment objective has been to

increase cash flow, current income and consequently the value of its existing
portfolio of properties, and to seek continued growth through (i) the strategic
re-tenanting, renovation and expansion of its existing centers, and (ii) the
selective acquisition of established income-producing real estate properties,
and properties requiring significant re-tenanting and redevelopment, primarily
in neighborhood and community shopping centers in geographic regions in which
the Company presently operates. The Company intends to consider investments in
other real estate sectors and in geographic markets where it does not presently
operate should suitable opportunities arise.

The Company's neighborhood and community shopping center properties are designed
to attract local area customers and typically are anchored by a supermarket,
discount department store or drugstore tenant offering day-to-day 



                                       4
<PAGE>


necessities rather than high-priced luxury items. The Company may either
purchase or lease income-producing properties in the future, and may also
participate with other entities in property ownership through partnerships,
joint ventures or similar types of co-ownership. Equity investments may be
subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or such financing
or indebtedness may be incurred in connection with acquiring such investments.
Any such financing or indebtedness will have priority over the Company's equity
interest in such property. The Company may make loans to joint ventures in which
it may or may not participate in the future.

While the Company has historically held its properties for long-term investment,
and accordingly has placed strong emphasis on its ongoing program of regular
maintenance, periodic renovation and capital improvement, it is possible that
properties in the portfolio may be sold, in whole or in part, as circumstances
warrant, subject to REIT qualification rules.

The Company emphasizes equity real estate investments, but may, in its
discretion, invest in mortgages, other real estate interests and other
investments. The mortgages in which the Company may invest may be either first
mortgages, junior mortgages or other mortgage-related securities.

The Company may legally invest in the securities of other issuers, for the
purpose, among others, of exercising control over such entities, subject to the
gross income and asset tests necessary for REIT qualification. The Company may
acquire all or substantially all of these securities or assets of other REITs or
similar entities where such investments would be consistent with the Company's
investment policies. In any event, the Company does not intend that its
investments in securities will require it to register as an "investment company"
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through
diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties and a
large tenant base. At December 31, 1997, the Company's single largest
neighborhood and community shopping center accounted for only approximately 1.9%

of the Company's annualized base rental revenues and only 1% of the Company's
total shopping center GLA. At December 31, 1997, the Company's five largest
tenants include Venture, Kmart Corporation, Kohl's, Walmart and TJX Companies,
which represent approximately 11.7%, 4.1%, 3.4%, 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively, of
the Company's annualized base rental revenues.

The Company intends to maintain a conservative debt capitalization with a ratio
of debt to total market capitalization of approximately 50% or less. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company had a debt to total market capitalization ratio
of approximately 24%.

The Company has authority to offer shares of capital stock or other senior
securities in exchange for property and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire its
common stock or any other securities and may engage in such activities in the
future. At all times, the Company intends to make investments in such a manner
as to be consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), to qualify as a REIT unless, because of circumstances
or changes in the Code (or in Treasury Regulations), the Board of Directors
determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to qualify
as a REIT.

The Company's policies with respect to the aforementioned activities may be
reviewed and modified from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors
without the vote of the stockholders.

Competition As one of the original participants in the growth of the shopping
center industry and one of the nation's largest owners and operators of
neighborhood and community shopping centers, the Company has established close
relationships with a large number of major national and regional retailers and
maintains a broad network of industry contacts. Management is associated with
and/or actively participates in many shopping center and REIT industry
organizations. Notwithstanding these relationships, there are numerous
commercial developers and real estate companies that compete with the Company in
seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in 



                                       5
<PAGE>


these properties.

Capital Resources Completion of the Company's IPO, which resulted in net cash
proceeds of approximately $116 million, permitted the Company to significantly
deleverage its real estate portfolio and has made available the public debt and
equity markets as the Company's principal source of capital for the future. A
$100 million, unsecured revolving credit facility established in June 1994,
which is scheduled to expire in June 2000 and an additional $150 million interim
unsecured revolving credit facility, established in March 1998, scheduled to
expire in June 1998, have made available funds to both finance the purchase of
properties and meet any short-term working capital requirements. It is the
Company's intention to extend the term of the $150 million interim revolving
credit facility and establish it as a continuing part of the Company's total

unsecured revolving credit availability. The Company has also implemented a $150
million medium-term notes program (the "MTN program") pursuant to which it may
from time to time offer for sale its senior unsecured debt for any general
corporate purposes, including (i) funding specific liquidity requirements in its
business, including property acquisitions and redevelopment costs, and (ii)
better managing the Company's debt maturities. (See Note 7 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.)

Since the IPO, the Company has completed additional offerings of its public
unsecured debt and equity raising in the aggregate over $1.15 billion for the
purposes of repaying indebtedness, acquiring interests in neighborhood and
community shopping centers and for expanding and improving properties in the
portfolio.

It is management's intention that the Company continually have access to the
capital resources necessary to expand and develop its business. Accordingly, the
Company may seek to obtain funds through additional equity offerings or debt
financings, including an increase in the Company's unsecured revolving credit
facility, in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a
conservative debt capitalization policy.

The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations will continue to provide
adequate capital to fund its operating and administrative expenses, regular debt
service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT
requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, the Company
anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities,
issuance of equity and public debt, as well as other debt and equity
alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company.

Inflation and Other Business Issues Many of the Company's leases contain
provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions
include clauses enabling the Company to receive payment of additional rent
calculated as a percentage of tenants' gross sales above predetermined
thresholds ("Percentage Rents"), which generally increase as prices rise, and/or
escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of
the leases. Such escalation clauses include increases in the consumer price
index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the Company's leases
are for terms of less than 10 years, which permits the Company to seek to
increase rents upon renewal to market rates. Most of the Company's leases
require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including
common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing
the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting
from inflation. The Company periodically evaluates its exposure to short-term
interest rates and will, from time to time, enter into interest rate protection
agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in
interest rates on its floating-rate loans.

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to risks arising in
connection with the underlying real estate, including defaults or nonrenewal of
tenant leases, environmental matters, financing availability and changes in real
estate and zoning laws. The success of the Company also depends upon trends in
the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental 




                                       6
<PAGE>


regulations and legislation and population trends.

Operating Practices Nearly all operating functions, including leasing, legal,
construction, data processing, maintenance, finance and accounting, are
administered by the Company from its executive offices in New Hyde Park, New
York. The Company believes it is critical to have a management presence in its
principal areas of operation; accordingly, the Company also maintains regional
offices in Boca Raton and Orlando, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and
Dayton and Cleveland, Ohio. A total of 107 persons are employed at the Company's
executive and regional offices.

The Company's regional offices are generally staffed by a manager and the
support personnel necessary to both function as local representatives for
leasing and promotional purposes and to complement the corporate office efforts
to ensure that property inspection and maintenance objectives are achieved. The
regional offices are important in reducing the time necessary to respond to the
needs of the Company's tenants. Leasing and maintenance personnel from the
corporate office also conduct regular inspections of each shopping center.

The Company also employs a total of 61 persons at several of its larger
properties in order to more effectively administer its maintenance and security
responsibilities.

Management Information Systems Virtually all operating activities are supported
by a sophisticated computer software system designed to provide management with
operating data necessary to make informed business decisions on a timely basis.
These proprietary systems are continually expanded and enhanced by the Company
and reflect a commitment to quality management and tenant relations. The Company
has integrated an advanced mid-range computer with personal computer technology,
creating a management information system that facilitates the development of
property cash flow budgets, forecasts and related management information.

Qualification as a REIT The Company has elected, commencing with its taxable
year which began January 1, 1992, to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code. If, as the Company believes, it is organized and
operates in such a manner so as to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT under
the Code, the Company generally will not be subject to Federal income tax,
provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its
REIT taxable income as defined under the Code.

Retail Properties Acquisition -

     In August 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company acquired certain real
estate assets from Venture Stores, Inc. ("Venture") consisting of interests in
49 fee and leasehold properties totaling approximately 5.9 million square feet
of leasable area located in Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Indiana
and Iowa (collectively, the "Venture Properties Acquisition"). The aggregate
price was approximately $130 million, consisting of $70.5 million in cash and
the assumption of approximately $59.5 million of existing mortgage debt on
certain of these properties. The mortgage debt bears interest at 10.54% per
annum and cannot be repaid without penalty, until its maturity on July 1, 2000.
In addition, the Company was granted (i)an option to acquire two other
properties for $4.5 million, (ii) an option to acquire up to 11 additional
properties should certain conditions be satisfied and (iii) rights of first
refusal, for a period of five years, to acquire 31 additional properties
containing 4.2 million square feet of leasable area. The transaction also
included approximately 573,000 square feet of retail space substantially
occupied by other retailers and approximately 165,000 square feet of available
non-Venture retail space. Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company
entered into a long-term unitary net lease with Venture covering all premises
occupied by Venture on these properties. As a result of this transaction,
Venture was the primary or sole tenant at 60 of the Company's locations
representing approximately 11.7% of the Company's annualized base rental
revenues as of December 31, 1997.

     In January 1998, Venture filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the



                                       8
<PAGE>


United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company has not received notice that Venture
will be delinquent in the payment of any rents due. There can be, however, no
assurance that Venture will continue to pay rents as they become due or that the
trustee in bankruptcy will not reject the leases under which Venture is bound.

Irrespective of Venture's current financial status, management believes that the
Venture Properties Acquisition represents a unique strategic opportunity for the
Company, based on the significant intrinsic value in the underlying real estate
assets as a result of (i) attractive geographic locations, (ii) current below
market-rate leases and (iii)the opportunity to lease-up the remaining 165,000
square feet of vacant non-Venture retail space. In addition to its intrinsic
real estate value, the Venture Properties Acquisition also provides the Company

with (i) strong initial yields, (ii) increased geographic diversification and
(iii) options to acquire additional properties. Accordingly, the Company
believes that it could replace any defaulted or discharged leases with leases
that are on no less favorable terms than the leases currently in place.

The Company, as a regular part of its business operations, will continue to
actively seek properties for acquisition which have below market-rate leases or
other cash flow growth potential.

Property Redevelopments -

The Company has an ongoing program to reformat and re-tenant its properties to
maintain or enhance its competitive position in the marketplace. During 1997,
the Company substantially completed the redevelopment of 7 shopping centers in
its portfolio, including properties located in Plainview, NY; Lexington, KY;
Charles Town, WV; Norriton, PA; Westmont, NJ; Coral Springs, FL and Dayton, OH
at a total cost of approximately $26.3 million. The Company is currently
involved in redeveloping several other shopping centers, most notably its
properties in N. Miami, FL, Richboro, PA, Winston-Salem, NC, and Grove Gate, FL.
Approximately $3.7 million was expended during 1997 related to these
ongoing projects. Each redevelopment represents an opportunity for the Company
to capitalize on its leasing, site planning, design and construction expertise.
The Company anticipates its capital commitment toward these and other
redevelopments during 1998 will be approximately $30 million. These projects,
which are currently proceeding on schedule and in line with the Company's
budgeted costs, are expected to contribute to growth in the Company's funds from
operations in the future.

Property Disposition -

During June 1997, the Company disposed of a property in Troy, OH. Proceeds from
the disposition totaling approximately $1.6 million, together with an additional
$8.3 million cash investment, were used to acquire an exchange shopping center
property located in Ocala, FL.

Kimco Select Investments -

Kimco Select Investments, a New York general partnership ("Kimco Select"), was
formed in 1997 to provide the Company, through its 90% ownership interest, the
opportunity to make investments outside of its core neighborhood and community
shopping center business. Although potential investments may be largely
retail-focused, Kimco Select may invest in other asset categories. Kimco Select
will focus on investments where the intrinsic value in the underlying assets may
provide potentially superior returns relative to the inherent risk. These
investments may be in the form of direct ownership of real estate, mortgage
loans, public and private debt and equity securities that Kimco Select believes
are undervalued, unoccupied properties, properties leased to weak or bankrupt
tenants and other assets.

Kimco Select is managed by David M. Samber, formerly President and Chief
Operating Officer of the Company, who owns the remaining 10% ownership interest
in Kimco Select. The Company has made an initial commitment of $35 million
towards investments by Kimco Select and may increase its commitment as
management deems appropriate.

During 1997, Kimco Select through a joint venture investment, acquired an
interest in a multi-story building in Eastwick, PA. This 39,000 square foot
property, and a 53,000 square foot property in Upper Darby, PA previously
acquired, have been redeveloped as ambulatory care facilities, anchored by Mercy
Health Corporation, a leading regional health care system and contain
complementary retail space. The acquisition and redevelopment costs related to
these two properties totaled approximately $10 million.

Kimco Select also acquired (i) various first mortgage loan participations, (ii)
certain public bonds, and (iii) a joint venture interest in an entity which owns
an office building in Miami, FL. The aggregate acquisition cost 
related to these investments was approximately $4.6 million.

Financings -

Debt. During 1997, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $100
million of unsecured notes under its MTN program. These unsecured notes are
comprised of (i) a $30 million ten-year note bearing interest at 7.46% and
maturing in May 2007, (ii) a $20 million twelve-year note bearing interest at
7.56% and maturing in May 2009, (iii) a $20 million ten-year note bearing
interest at 6.96% and maturing in July 2007 and (iv) a $30 million twelve-year
note bearing interest at 7.06% and maturing in July 2009. (See Note 7 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report
on Form 10-K.)

In June 1997, the Company amended its $100 million, unsecured revolving credit
facility with a group of banks to provide, for a reduction (i) by .25% (25 basis
points) in the spread above the LIBOR rate or money-market rate, whichever is
applicable, paid on borrowings under the facility and (ii) by .02% (2 basis
points) in the annual fee payable on a certain portion of the facility which
remains unused from time to time. In addition, certain administrative and
extension fees were also reduced. The facility term was also extended one year
and is now scheduled to expire on June 30, 2000.

Equity. During September 1997, the Company completed a primary public stock
offering of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $35.50 per share. The net
proceeds from this sale of common stock, totaling approximately $134.5 million
(after related transaction costs of approximately $7.5 million) have been used
primarily for the acquisition of neighborhood and community shopping centers.
(See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
annual report on Form 10-K.)

Subsequent Events

Property Acquisitions / Disposition -

In January 1998, the Company acquired seven neighborhood and community shopping
center properties comprising approximately 632,000 square feet of GLA in the

Denver, CO market for approximately $43.6 million, including the assumption of
$4.2 million of mortgage debt. These properties are primarily anchored by
supermarket or drugstore tenants, including Safeway, Cub Foods and Phar-Mor.

In addition, the Company, through its affiliate Kimco Select, acquired interests
in three retail properties in the Chicago, IL market comprising approximately
516,000 square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$23.7 million. These properties include approximately 70,000 square feet of
showroom space and adjoining warehouses of approximately 100,000 square feet at
each location. Simultaneous with this transaction, the Company leased to
Heilig-Meyers, the country's largest furniture retailer, the showroom portion of
each property under individual long-term leases. The Company is currently
planning the redevelopment of the warehouse portion of each property.

The Company disposed of a property in Pinellas Park, FL during January 1998.
Cash proceeds from the disposition totaling $2.3 million will be used to acquire
an exchange shopping center property.

Price REIT Merger -

On January 13, 1998, the Company and The Price REIT, Inc., a Maryland
corporation ("Price REIT") signed a definitive agreement to merge, (the
"Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
January 13, 1998, as amended March 5, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), Price REIT
will be merged into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The transaction is intended, for financial accounting purposes, to be accounted
for as a purchase. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement each share of Price
REIT common stock will be exchanged for a combination of the Company's common
stock and Kimco depositary shares (the "Class D Depositary Shares"), each
depositary share representing a 1/10 of a share interest in a new issue of
Kimco 7.5% Class D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Class D
Convertible Preferred Stock") having an aggregate value of at least $45 based
on the "Kimco Average Price" (as defined herein) and the liquidation preference
of the Class D Depositary Shares (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"). 
The Merger, which is expected to be completed in mid-1998, is subject to
customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals and the
approval of the issuance of the Merger Consideration by the stockholders of the
Company and the approval of the Merger by the Stockholders of Price REIT.

The Merger Agreement provides for a pre-closing adjustment to the number of
shares of the Company's common stock and Class D Depositary Shares issuable per
share of Price REIT common stock in order to ensure that Price REIT stockholders
will receive at least, and possibly more than, $45 in the Company's securities
per Price REIT share. Specifically, in the event that the average closing price
of the Company's common stock (the "Kimco Average Price" as defined herein)
ending on and including the seventh trading day immediately preceding the date

of the Company's 1998 annual meeting of stockholders plus $10 is less than 
$45, the amount of Class D Depositary Shares will be increased up to a maximum
of $11.25 of Class D Depositary Shares (based on a liquidation preference of $25
per Class D Depositary Share) to arrive at a value of $45. To the extent that
the issuance of $11.25 of Class D Depositary Shares would still result in less
than $45 of combined value, the number of shares of the Company's common stock
issuable per Price REIT share will be increased in order to arrive at a total of
$45 delivered in the Company's securities. However, the Company may elect to
terminate the Merger Agreement in the event its Average Price (the "Average
Price", as defined herein) during a specified calculation period or the closing
price on the scheduled closing date or on either of the two days prior to the
scheduled closing date is less than $32.

In the event that the "Kimco Average Price" (as defined herein) plus $10 is
greater than $45, each share of Price REIT common stock would continue to be
converted into one share of the Company's common stock and the amount of Class D
Depositary Shares will be decreased by 50% of the amount by which the Kimco
Average Price referred to above plus $10 exceeds $45. However, Price REIT
stockholders will never receive less than $9 of Class D Depositary Shares. Thus,
as a result of the merger, Price REIT stockholders will obtain the benefit of
50% of the increase in value of the Company's common stock as reflected in the
Kimco Average Price between $35 and $37, and 100% of any increase above $37.

As used herein, the "Kimco Average Price" shall be the average of Average Prices
(as defined herein) of the Company's common stock for fifteen (15) randomly
selected trading days within the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on
and including the seventh trading day immediately preceding the date of the
Company's 1998 annual meeting of stockholders. As used herein, the "Average
Price" for any date means the average of the daily high and low prices of the
Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") as reported
in The Wall Street Journal, or if not reported thereby, by another authoritative
source. The random selection of trading days shall be made under the joint
supervision of the financial advisors retained by the Company and Price REIT in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

The dividend rate on the Class D Depositary Shares will be 7.5 % per annum, or,
if greater, the dividend on the shares of the Company's common stock into which
a Class D Depositary Share is convertible plus $0.0275 quarterly. The Class D
Depositary Shares will be convertible into the Company's common stock 


                                       11
<PAGE>


at a conversion price of $40.25 per share at any time by the holder and may be
redeemed by the Company at the conversion price in shares of the Company's
common stock at any time after the third anniversary of the Merger if for any 20
trading days during a rolling 30 day consecutive trading-day period the
Company's common stock closing price exceeds $48.30, subject to certain
adjustments. The Class D Depositary Shares are expected to be listed on the
NYSE.

The Merger Agreement also provides that each party will be entitled to a

Break-Up Fee in the amount of $12,500,000 or reimbursement of expenses up to
$2,000,000 in the event the agreement is terminated under various circumstances.
The Company has also agreed that if it elects to terminate the Merger Agreement
because its common stock price closes below $32, Price REIT will be entitled 
to receive $6,250,000.

Financings -

In March 1998, the Company obtained an additional $150 million interim unsecured
revolving credit facility to both finance the purchase of properties and meet
any short-term working capital requirements. This facility is scheduled to
expire in June 1998, however, it is the Company's intention to extend the term
of this facility and establish it as a continuing part of the Company's total
unsecured revolving credit availability.

KC Holdings, Inc.

To facilitate the Company's November 1991 IPO, forty-six shopping center
properties and certain other assets, together with indebtedness related thereto,
were transferred to subsidiaries of KC Holdings, Inc. ("KC Holdings") a newly
formed corporation that is owned by the stockholders of the Company prior to the
IPO. The Company, although having no ownership interest in KC Holdings or its
subsidiary companies, was granted ten-year, fixed-price options to reacquire the
real estate assets owned by KC Holdings' subsidiaries, subject to any
liabilities outstanding with respect to such assets at the time of an option
exercise. As of February 27, 1998, KC Holdings' subsidiaries had conveyed
fourteen shopping center properties back to the Company and had disposed of ten
additional centers in transactions with third parties. The members of the
Company's Board of Directors who are not also shareholders of KC Holdings
unanimously approved the purchase of each of the fourteen shopping centers that
have been reacquired by the Company from KC Holdings. (See Notes 9 and 13 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report on
Form 10-K.)

The Company manages 18 of KC Holdings' 22 shopping center properties pursuant to
a management agreement. KC Holdings' other four shopping center properties are
managed by unaffiliated joint venture partners.

Acquisition Option -

The Company holds 10-year acquisition options which expire in November 2001 to
reacquire interests in the 22 shopping center properties owned by KC Holdings'
subsidiaries. The option exercise prices are fixed and payable in shares of the
Company's common stock or, in the event payment in the form of common stock
could jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT, an equivalent value in cash. If
the Company exercises its options to acquire all the remaining shopping center
properties, the maximum aggregate amount payable to KC Holdings would be
approximately $11.1 million, or approximately 316,000 shares of the Company's
common stock (assuming shares valued at the closing price on the NYSE of $35.13
per share as of February 27, 1998). The Company would acquire the properties
subject to any existing mortgage indebtedness and other liabilities on the
properties. The acquisition options enable the Company to obtain any
appreciation in the value of these properties over the option exercise prices,
while eliminating the Company's interim exposure to leverage and operating

risks.

The option exercise prices for the shopping center properties are generally
equal to 10% of KC Holdings' share of the mortgage debt which was outstanding 



                                       12
<PAGE>


on the properties at the date of the IPO. If, however, the market value of the
Company's common stock at the time an option is exercised is less than $13.33
per share (the IPO price), then the option exercise price will decline
proportionately (subject to maximum reduction of 50%).

The 22 shopping center properties subject to the acquisition options are held in
8 subsidiaries of KC Holdings. Thirteen of these properties are subject to a
single lease and/or a single cross-collateralized mortgage and are therefore
held by a single subsidiary. Four of the properties, which are owned in two
separate joint ventures and managed by unaffiliated joint venture partners, are
held by two additional subsidiaries, and the remaining five shopping center
properties are each held by separate subsidiaries. The Company may exercise its
acquisition options separately with respect to each subsidiary.

The acquisition options may be exercised by either (i) a majority of the
Company's directors who are not also stockholders of KC Holdings, provided that
the pro forma annualized net cash flows of the properties to be acquired exceed
the dividend yield on the shares issued to exercise each option, or (ii) a
majority of the Company's stockholders who are not also stockholders of KC
Holdings.

KC Holdings' subsidiaries may sell any of the properties subject to the
acquisition options to any third party unaffiliated with KC Holdings or its
stockholders, provided that KC Holdings provides the Company with a 30-day right
of first refusal notice with regard to such sale. KC Holdings may cause such a
selling subsidiary to distribute any sale proceeds to KC Holdings or its
stockholders, provided that the option exercise price with respect to such
subsidiary is reduced by the amount that is distributed, and further provided
that no amount may be distributed so as to cause the option exercise price for
any subsidiary to be reduced to less than $1.

Each of KC Holdings' subsidiaries may pay dividends to KC Holdings to the extent
of net operating cash flow. In addition, any KC Holdings subsidiary may make
distributions to KC Holdings in excess of net operating cash flow, provided that
the option exercise price with respect to such subsidiary is reduced by the
amount of such distribution, and further provided that no amount may be
distributed so as to cause the option exercise price for any subsidiary to be
reduced to less than $1. KC Holdings may increase the indebtedness in its
subsidiaries for the purpose of improving, maintaining, refinancing or operating
the related shopping center properties. Such indebtedness may include borrowings
from the stockholders of KC Holdings.

In the event of a complete casualty or a condemnation of a property held by any

of KC Holdings' subsidiaries, the acquisition option will terminate with respect
to such property and the option shall continue to be effective with respect to
any other properties held by such subsidiary.

Each of KC Holdings' subsidiaries has agreed with the Company that it will
engage in no activities other than in connection with the ownership, maintenance
and improvement of the properties that it owns and only to the extent that the
Company could engage in such activities without receiving or earning
non-qualifying income (in excess of certain limits) under the REIT provisions of
the Code or without otherwise impairing the Company's status as a REIT. In
addition, KC Holdings has covenanted not to engage in any other real estate
activity. The Company has agreed not to make loans to KC Holdings or its
subsidiaries.

Item 2.  Properties

Real Estate Portfolio As of February 1, 1998 the Company's shopping center
portfolio was comprised of approximately 35.8 million square feet of GLA in 273
neighborhood and community shopping center properties and two regional malls,
located in 30 states. Neighborhood and community shopping centers 



                                       13
<PAGE>


comprise the primary focus of the Company's current portfolio, representing
approximately 97% of the Company's total shopping center GLA. As of February 1,
1998 approximately 90% of the Company's neighborhood and community shopping
center space was leased, and the average annualized base rent per leased square
foot was $6.37.

The Company's neighborhood and community shopping center properties, generally
owned and operated through subsidiaries or joint ventures, had an average size
of approximately 126,000 square feet as of February 1, 1998. The Company retains
its shopping centers for long-term investment and consequently pursues a program
of regular physical maintenance together with major renovations and refurbishing
to preserve and increase the value of its properties. These projects usually
include renovating existing facades, installing uniform signage, resurfacing
parking lots and enhancing parking lot lighting. During 1997, the Company
capitalized approximately $3.7 million in connection with these property
improvements.

The Company's neighborhood and community shopping centers are usually "anchored"
by a national or regional discount department store, supermarket or drugstore.
As one of the original participants in the growth of the shopping center
industry and one of the nation's largest owners and operators of shopping

centers, the Company has established close relationships with a large number of
major national and regional retailers. National and regional companies that are
tenants in the Company's shopping center properties include Venture, Kmart
Corporation, Kohl's, WalMart, TJX Companies, Toys/Kids `R Us and Schottenstein
Stores.

A substantial portion of the Company's income consists of rent received under
long-term leases. Most of the leases provide for the payment of fixed base
rentals monthly in advance and for the payment by tenants of an allocable share
of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance
expenses incurred in operating the shopping centers. Although a majority of the
leases require the Company to make roof and structural repairs as needed, a
number of tenant leases place that responsibility on the tenant, and the
Company's standard small store lease provides for roof repairs to be reimbursed
by the tenant as part of common area maintenance. The Company's management
places a strong emphasis on sound construction and safety at its properties.

Approximately 1,100 of the Company's 2,680 leases also contain provisions
requiring the payment of additional rent calculated as a percentage of tenants'
gross sales above predetermined thresholds. Percentage rents accounted for
approximately 2% of the Company's revenues from rental property for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

Minimum base rental revenues and operating expense reimbursements accounted for
approximately 98% of the Company's total revenues from rental property for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The Company's management believes that the average
base rent per square foot for the Company's existing leases is generally lower
than the prevailing market rate base rents in the geographic regions where the
Company operates, reflecting the potential for future growth.

The Company has been able to capitalize on the below market-rate leases in its
existing shopping center portfolio to obtain increases in rental revenues
through the renewal of leases or strategic re-tenanting of space. From January
1, 1997 to December 31, 1997, excluding the effect of 1997 acquisitions, the
Company increased the average base rent per leased square foot on its portfolio
of neighborhood and community shopping centers from $6.21 to $6.50, an increase
of $.29 per square foot, or approximately 5%, which was attributable to leasing
activity within the existing portfolio. The effect of 1997 acquisitions reduced
the overall rent per leased square foot by $.19, thus bringing the average rent
per leased square foot to $6.31 as of December 31, 1997. The average annual base
rent per leased square foot for new leases executed in 1997 was $9.07.

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through geographic
and tenant diversity. No single neighborhood and community shopping center



                                       14
<PAGE>


accounted for more than 1.0% of the Company's total shopping center GLA or more
than 1.9% of total annualized base rental revenues as of December 31, 1997. The
five largest tenants of the Company include Venture, Kmart Corporation, Kohl's,

WalMart and TJX Companies, which represent approximately 11.7%, 4.1%, 3.4%, 2.7%
and 2.2%, respectively, of the annualized base rental revenues at December 31,
1997. The Company maintains an active leasing and capital improvement program
that, combined with the high quality of the locations, has made, in management's
opinion, the Company's properties attractive to tenants.

The Company's management believes its experience in the industry and its
relationships with numerous national and regional tenants gives it an advantage
in an industry where ownership is fragmented among a large number of property
owners.

Retail Store Leases In addition to its neighborhood and community shopping
center portfolio and two regional malls, the Company holds interests in various
retail store leases relating to approximately 5.6 million square feet of anchor
store premises in 62 neighborhood and community shopping centers located in 24
states. As of February 1, 1998 approximately 98% of these premises had been
sublet to retailers which lease the stores pursuant to net lease agreements
providing for average annualized base rental payments to the Company of $3.73
per square foot. The Company's average annualized base rental obligation
pursuant to its retail store leases with the fee owners of such subleased
premises is approximately $2.74 per square foot. The average remaining primary
term of the Company's retail store leases (and similarly the remaining primary
terms of its sublease agreements with the tenants currently leasing such space)
is approximately 4.8 years, excluding options to renew such leases for terms
which generally range from 5-25 years.

Ground-Leased Properties The Company has 45 shopping center properties that are
subject to long-term ground leases where a third party owns and has leased the
underlying land to the Company (or an affiliated joint venture) to construct
and/or operate a shopping center. The Company or the joint venture pays rent for
the use of the land and generally is responsible for all costs and expenses
associated with the building and improvements. At the end of these long-term
leases, unless extended, the land together with all improvements revert to the
land owner.

Undeveloped Land Although the Company does not own any unimproved land tracts
that it intends to develop as new shopping centers, the Company does own parcels
of land adjacent to certain of its existing shopping centers that are held for
possible expansion and a parcel of undeveloped land leased to a retailer. At
times, should circumstances warrant, the Company may develop or dispose of these
parcels.

The table on pages 16 to 23 sets forth more specific information with respect to
each of the Company's shopping center properties as of December 31, 1997.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not presently involved in any litigation nor to its knowledge is
any litigation threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries that, in
management's opinion, would result in any material adverse effect on the
Company's ownership, management or operation of its properties, or which is not
covered by the Company's liability insurance.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder
        Matters

Market Information The Company completed its IPO on November 22, 1991. Shares of
the Company's common stock were sold for cash or exchanged for mortgage debt and
equity interests in certain of the Company's shopping center properties based
upon an initial public offering price of $13.33 per share. Additional primary
public common stock offerings were completed in June 1992, April 1993, January
1995, February 1996 and September 1997, wherein shares of the Company's common
stock were sold for cash or exchanged for equity interests in shopping center
properties based upon $16.92, $22.83, $24.17, $26.50 and $35.50 per share
offering prices, respectively.

The table below sets forth, for the quarterly periods indicated, the high and
low sales prices per share reported on the NYSE Composite Tape for the Company's
common stock. The Company's common stock is traded under the trading symbol
"KIM".

Holders The approximate number of holders of record of the Company's common
stock, par value $.01 per share, was 572 as of February 27, 1998.

Dividends Since the IPO, the Company has paid regular quarterly dividends to its
stockholders.

Quarterly dividends at the rate of $.39 per share were declared and paid on
November 30, 1995 and January 16, 1996, March 15, 1996 and April 15, 1996, June
17, 1996 and July 15, 1996 and September 16, 1996 and October 15, 1996
respectively. Quarterly dividends at the increased rate of $.43 per share were
declared and paid on December 2, 1996 and January 15, 1997, March 17, 1997 and
April 15, 1997, June 16, 1997, and July 15, 1997, September 15, 1997 and October
15, 1997. On December 1, 1997 the Company declared its dividend payable during
the first quarter of 1998 at the increased rate of $.48 per share payable
January 15, 1998 to shareholders of record on January 2, 1998. This $.48 per
share dividend, if annualized, would equal $1.92 per share, or an annual yield

of approximately 5.5% based on the closing price of $35.13 of the Company's
common stock on the NYSE as of February 27, 1998.

The Company has determined that 100% of the dividends totaling $1.72 and $1.56
per share, paid during 1997 and 1996, respectively, represented ordinary
dividend income to its stockholders.

While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future
dividend declarations will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and
will depend on the actual cash flow of the Company, its financial condition,
capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems
relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends will be affected by a
number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, the
operating expenses of the Company, the interest expense on its borrowings, the
ability of lessees to meet their obligations to the Company and any
unanticipated capital expenditures.

In addition to its common stock offerings, the Company has capitalized the
growth in its business through the issuance of unsecured fixed and floating-rate
medium-term notes, underwritten bonds and perpetual preferred stock. Borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility have also been an interim source
of funds to both finance the purchase of properties and meet any short-term
working capital requirements. The various instruments governing the Company's
issuance of its unsecured public debt, bank debt and preferred stock impose
certain restrictions on the Company with regard to dividends, voting,
liquidation and other preferential rights available to the holders of such
instruments. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and Notes 7 and 11 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.  Reference
should also be made to the documents incorporated by reference into Part II of
this annual report listed in "Documents Incorporated by Reference" above for
further information with respect to such restrictions.

The Company does not believe that the preferential rights available to the
holders of its Class A, Class B and Class C Preferred Stock, the financial
covenants contained in its public bond Indenture or its revolving credit
agreements will have any adverse impact on the Company's ability to pay
dividends in the normal course to its common stockholders or to distribute
amounts necessary to maintain its qualification as a REIT.

The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment program pursuant to which common
and preferred stockholders may elect to automatically reinvest their dividends
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The Company may, from time to
time, either (i) repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market, or
(ii) issue new shares of its common stock, for the purpose of fulfilling its
obligations under this dividend reinvestment program.

(1)  Does not include revenues from rental property relating to unconsolidated
     joint ventures or revenues relating to the investment in retail store
     leases.

(2)  Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including the Company, generally
     consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate supplemental
     measure of the performance of an equity REIT. In March 1995, the National
     Assocation of Real Estate Invesment Trusts ("NAREIT") modified the
     definition of FFO, among other things, to eliminate adding back
     amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real
     estate items to net income when computing FFO. The Company adopted this new
     method as of January 1, 1996. FFO is defined as net income applicable to
     common shares before depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items,
     gains or losses on sales of real estate, plus FFO of unconsolidated joint
     ventures determined on a consistent basis. FFO does not represent cash
     generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles and therefore should not be considered an alternative
     for net income as a measure of results of operations, or for cash flows
     from operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the comparability of the
     Company's FFO with the FFO reported by other REITs may be affected by the
     differences that may exist regarding certain accounting policies relating
     to expenditures for repairs and other recurring items.

(3)  Includes $.2 million or $.01 per share in 1997 and $.8 million or $.02 per
     share in 1996 relating to non-recurring gains from the disposition of a
     shopping center property in each year.

(4)  Includes approximately $3.4 million, or $.12 per share, in non-recurring
     gains related to the sale of a shopping center and a casualty claim related
     to a joint venture property.

(5)  Does not include the Company's investment in retail store leases.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this annual report
on Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the
Consolidated Statements of Income contained in the Consolidated Financial
Statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as
indicative of future operations.

Results of Operations

     Comparison of 1997 to 1996

Revenues from rental property increased approximately $30.8 million, or 18.3% to
$198.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared with $168.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase resulted primarily
from the combined effect of (i) the acquisition of 14 shopping center properties
and 49 retail properties during 1997 providing revenues from rental property of
$6.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively (ii) the full year impact related
to the 39 property interests acquired in 1996 and (iii) new leasing and
re-tenanting within the portfolio at improved rental rates providing an increase
in the overall occupancy level from 87% at December 31, 1996 to 90% at December
31, 1997.

Rental property expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased
approximately $18.2 million, or 18.8%, to $115.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared with $97.0 million for the preceding calendar
year. Rent, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization charges
contributed significantly to this net increase in rental property expenses
(increasing $3.5 million, $6.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the
year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the preceding year) primarily due to
the 14 shopping center properties and 49 retail properties acquired during 1997
and the 39 property interests acquired during 1996. Interest expense increased
approximately $4.7 million between the respective periods reflecting higher
average outstanding borrowings during calendar year 1997 resulting from (i) the
issuance of an aggregate $100 million unsecured medium-term notes during 1997
and (ii) the assumption of approximately $73.2 million of mortgage debt in
connection with the acquisition of certain property interests during 1997, as
compared to the preceding year.

The Company has interests in various retail store leases relating to the anchor
store premises in neighborhood and community shopping centers. These premises
have been substantially sublet to retailers which lease the stores pursuant to

net lease agreements. Income from the investment in retail store leases during
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $3.6 million in each year.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.3 million to
$11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $10.3 million
for the preceding calendar year. This increase is primarily attributable to
increased senior management and staff levels during 1997 and 1996.

During 1997, the Company disposed of a property in Troy, OH. Cash proceeds from
the disposition totaling $1.6 million, together with an additional $8.3 million
cash investment, were used to acquire an exchange shopping center property
located in Ocala, FL.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 of approximately $85.8 million
represented an improvement of approximately $12.0 million, as compared with net
income of approximately $73.8 million for the preceding calendar year. After
adjusting for the gains on the sale of shopping center properties during both
periods, net income for 1997 increased by $12.6 million, or $.20 per share,
compared to 1996. This substantially improved performance was primarily
attributable to property acquisitions and redevelopments and increased leasing
activity which strengthened operating profitability.

     Comparison of 1996 to 1995

Revenues from rental property increased approximately $25.0 million, or 17.5% to
$168.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared with $143.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase resulted primarily
from the combined effect of shopping center acquisitions during the respective
periods (39 property interests in 1996 and 18 property interests in 1995) as
well as new leasing and re-tenanting within the portfolio at improved rental
rates.

Rental property expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased
approximately $8.1 million, or 9.1%, to $97.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996, as compared with $88.9 million for the preceding calendar
year. This increase is primarily due to property acquisitions and renovations
within the existing portfolio during the respective periods which gave rise to
an overall increase in real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization
expenses, as well as increased snow removal costs during 1996. Interest charges
increased approximately $1.4 million between the respective periods reflecting
higher average outstanding borrowings during calendar year 1996 as compared to
the preceding year.

During July 1995, certain subsidiaries of the Company obtained interests in
retail store leases relating to the anchor store premises in neighborhood and
community shopping centers. These premises have been substantially sublet to
retailers which lease the stores pursuant to net lease agreements. Income from
the investment in retail store leases during the years ended December 31, 1996

and 1995 were $3.6 and $1.8 million, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.5 million to
$10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $8.8 million
for the preceding calendar year. This increase is primarily attributable to
increased senior management and staff levels during 1996 and 1995.

Other income, net increased approximately $3.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared with the preceding year. This increase is
primarily attributable to interest earned on funds raised through public equity
offerings during 1996 and held in short-term income producing investments
pending the acquisition of interests in neighborhood and community shopping
center properties.

During September 1996, the Company disposed of a property in Watertown, NY. Cash
proceeds from the disposition totaling $1.8 million, together with an additional
$2.2 million cash investment, were used to acquire an exchange shopping center
property during January 1997.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 of approximately $73.8 million
represented an improvement of approximately $21.9 million, as compared with net
income of approximately $51.9 million for the preceding calendar year. After
adjusting for the gain on the sale of a shopping center property during 1996,
net income for 1996 increased by $21.1 million, or $.26 per share, compared to
1995. This substantially improved performance was primarily attributable to
property acquisitions and redevelopments, the investment in retail store leases
and sustained leasing activity which strengthened operating profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  Completion of the Company's IPO, which resulted
in net cash proceeds of  approximately  $116  million,  permitted the Company to
significantly  deleverage  its real estate  portfolio and has made available the
public debt and equity markets as the Company's  principal source of capital for
the future. A $100 million,  unsecured revolving credit facility  established in
June 1994,  which is scheduled to expire in June 2000,  and an  additional  $150
million interim unsecured  revolving credit facility  established in March 1998,
scheduled to expire in June 1998,  have made available funds to both finance the
purchase of properties and meet any short-term working capital requirements.  It
is the  Company's  intention  to  extend  the term of the $150  million  interim
revolving credit facility and establish it as a continuing part of the Company's
total unsecured  revolving  credit  availability.  As of December 31, 1997 there
were no borrowings under the revolving


                                       29
<PAGE>


credit  facility.  The Company has also  implemented  a $150 million MTN program
pursuant  to which it may from time to time offer for sale its senior  unsecured
debt  for  any  general  corporate  purposes,  including  (i)  funding  specific
liquidity  requirements in its business,  including  property  acquisitions  and
redevelopment costs and (ii) better managing the Company's debt maturities. (See
Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual
report on Form 10-K.)



Since the IPO, the Company has completed additional offerings of its public
unsecured debt and equity raising in the aggregate over $1.15 billion for the
purposes of repaying indebtedness, acquiring neighborhood and community shopping
centers and for expanding and improving properties in the portfolio.

In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal
income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to
its stockholders. These dividends will be paid from operating cash flows which
are expected to increase due to property acquisitions and growth in rental
revenues in the existing portfolio and from other sources. Since cash used to
pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company
generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving
such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of
shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests
in new properties as suitable opportunities arise, and such other factors as the
Board of Directors considers appropriate.

Cash dividends paid increased to $82.6 million in 1997, compared to $69.8
million in 1996 and $53.9 million in 1995. The Company's dividend payout ratio,
based on funds from operations on a per common share basis, for 1997, 1996 and
1995 was approximately 65.4%, 65.8%, and 66.7%, respectively.

Although the Company receives most of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it
intends to continue paying dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance
of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term
money market or other suitable instruments.

The Company anticipates its capital commitment toward redevelopment projects
during 1998 will be approximately $30 million. It is management's intention that
the Company continually have access to the capital resources necessary to expand
and develop its business. Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds
through additional equity offerings or debt financings, including an increase in
the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility, in a manner consistent with
its intention to operate with a conservative debt capitalization policy.

The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations will continue to provide
adequate capital to fund its operating and administrative expenses, regular debt
service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT
requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, the Company
anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities,
issuance of equity and public debt, as well as other debt and equity
alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company. Cash
flows from operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
increased to $125.1 million for 1997 from $101.9 million for 1996 and $74.2
million for 1995.

Effects of Inflation Many of the Company's leases contain provisions designed to
mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses
enabling the Company to receive Percentage Rents, which generally increase as
prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates
during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses include increases in the
consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the

Company's leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which permits the Company
to seek to increase rents upon renewal to market rates. Most of the Company's
leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses,
including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance,
thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating
expenses resulting from inflation. The Company 



                                       30
<PAGE>


periodically evaluates its exposure to short-term interest rates and will, from
time to time, enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but
do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate
loans.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 - "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which
established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components. In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board also issued
statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" which established standards for
reporting information about operating segments. The Company is required to adopt
these two standards with its December 31, 1998 financial statements. The Company
is currently evaluating the effect, if any, these statements will have on the
Company's financial presentation.

Forward-looking statements

This annual report on Form 10-K includes certain forward-looking statements
reflecting the Company's and management's intentions and expectations, however,
many factors which may affect the actual results are difficult to predict.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current

increases in interest rates and increases in operating costs. Accordingly, there
is no assurance that the Company's expectations will be realized.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
     Kimco Realty Corporation:

     We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedules of Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Company") and Subsidiaries
listed in the index on the preceding page of this annual report on Form 10-K.
These financial statements and the financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedules
based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kimco Realty
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects,
the information required to be included therein.


                                                        COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                     -------


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     Business

     Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Company"), its subsidiaries, affiliates and
       related real estate joint ventures are engaged principally in the
       operation of neighborhood and community shopping centers which are
       anchored generally by discount department stores, supermarkets or
       drugstores. Additionally, the Company provides management services for
       shopping centers owned by affiliated entities and various real estate
       joint ventures.

     The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through
       diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its
       properties, avoiding dependence on any single property, and a large
       tenant base. At December 31, 1997, the Company's single largest
       neighborhood and community shopping center accounted for only 1.9% of the
       Company's annualized base rental revenues and only 1.0% of the Company's
       total shopping center gross leasable area ("GLA"). At December 31, 1997,
       the Company's five largest tenants include Venture, Kmart Corporation,
       Kohl's, WalMart and TJX Companies, which represent approximately 11.7%,
       4.1%, 3.4%, 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively, of the Company's annualized base
       rental revenues.

     Principles of Consolidation and Estimates

     The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of
       the Company, its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, and all
       majority-owned partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and
       transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Generally accepted accounting principles require the Company's management
       to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
       assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
       liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a
       reporting period. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

     Real Estate

     Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
       amortization. Such carrying amounts would be adjusted, if necessary, to
       reflect an impairment in the value of the assets. Depreciation and
       amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated

       useful lives of the assets, as follows:

            Buildings                                15 to 39 years
            Fixtures and leasehold improvements      Terms of leases or useful
                                                       lives, whichever is 
                                                       shorter

     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
       incurred. Significant renovations are capitalized.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

                                   ----------

     Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures

     Investments in real estate joint ventures are accounted for on the equity
       method.

     Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs

     Costs incurred in obtaining tenant leases and long-term financing, included
       in deferred charges and prepaid expenses in the accompanying Consolidated
       Balance Sheets, are amortized over the terms of the related leases or
       debt agreements, as applicable.

     Revenue Recognition

     Minimum revenues from rental property are recognized on a straight-line
       basis over the terms of the related leases.

     Income Taxes

     The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax
       return. The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is
       operating so as to qualify, as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a "REIT")
       for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company generally will
       not be subject to Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its
       stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as
       defined under the Code.

     Per Share Data

     In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 128 - "Earnings Per Share". Statement 128
       replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
       ("EPS") pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 with the

       presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
       computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the
       weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
       Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
       securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or
       converted into common shares and then shared in the earnings of the
       Company.

     The following table sets forth the reconciliation between basic and diluted
       weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period:

                                               1997         1996         1995

     New Accounting Pronouncements

     In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of
       Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
       which established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
       income and its components. In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards
       Board also issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 -
       "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
       which established standards for reporting information about operating
       segments. The Company is required to adopt these two standards with its
       December 31, 1998 financial statements. The Company is currently
       evaluating the effect, if any, these statements will have on the
       Company's financial presentation.

     Reclassifications

     Certain account balances in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as
       of December 31, 1996, have been reclassified to conform with the current
       year presentation.


2.   Shopping Center Acquisitions:

     During the years 1997, 1996 and 1995 certain subsidiaries of the Company
       acquired real estate interests in various shopping center properties at
       aggregate costs of approximately $146 million, $39 million and $83
       million, respectively. These acquisitions have been funded principally
       through the application of proceeds from the Company's public unsecured
       debt and equity offerings. (See Notes 7 and 11.)

3.   Retail Property Acquisitions:

     In August 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company acquired certain real
       estate assets from a retailer consisting of interests in 49 fee and
       leasehold properties totaling approximately 5.9 million square feet of
       leasable area located in Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
       Indiana and Iowa. The aggregate price was approximately $130 million,
       consisting of $70.5 million in cash and the assumption of approximately
       $59.5 million of existing mortgage debt on certain of these properties.
       The mortgage debt bears interest at 10.54% per annum and cannot be repaid
       without penalty, until its maturity on July 1, 2000. In addition, the
       Company was granted (i) an option to acquire two other properties for
       $4.5 million, (ii) an option to acquire up to 11 additional properties
       should certain conditions be satisfied and (iii) rights of first refusal,
       for a period of five years, to acquire 31 additional properties
       containing 4.2 million square feet of leasable area. The transaction also
       included approximately 573,000 square feet of retail space substantially
       occupied by other retailers and approximately 165,000 square feet of
       available retail space. Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company
       entered into a long-term unitary net lease covering all premises occupied
       by this retailer pursuant to which this seller/tenant may remain in
       occupancy and continue to conduct business in these premises.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

                                   ----------

     During August 1996, certain subsidiaries of the Company acquired interests
       in 16 retail properties, including 2 properties to which the Company and
       its affiliates already held fee title, for $21.8 million in cash. These
       property interests were acquired from a retailer which had elected to
       discontinue operation of its discount department store division.

     During January 1996, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into two
       sale-leaseback transactions pursuant to which it acquired fee title to 16
       retail properties located in Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Illinois and Kansas
       for a purchase price of $40 million. Simultaneously, the Company executed
       two long-term unitary net leases covering the 16 locations pursuant to

       which the seller/tenant may remain in occupancy and continue to conduct
       business in these premises. During July 1997, the Company consented to
       the modification of these two unitary net lease agreements whereby the
       Company entered into two unitary net lease agreements with another
       retailer on 9 of the retail properties and a new unitary lease with the
       seller/tenant on the remaining 7 locations.

     These retail property acquisitions have been funded principally through the
       the application of proceeds from the Company's public unsecured debt and
       equity offerings. (See Notes 7 and 11.)

4.   Investment in Retail Store Leases:

     The Company has interests in various retail store leases relating to the
       anchor store premises in neighborhood and community shopping centers.
       These premises have been substantially sublet to retailers which lease
       the stores pursuant to net lease agreements. Income from the investment
       in these retail store leases during the years ended December 31, 1997 and
       1996 was approximately $3.6 million in each year. These amounts represent
       sublease revenues during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 of
       approximately $20.9 million and $21.0 million, respectively, less related
       expenses of $15.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively, and an amount,
       which in management's estimate, reasonably provides for the recovery of
       the investment over a period representing the expected remaining term of
       the retail store leases. The Company's future minimum revenues under the
       terms of all noncancellable tenant subleases and future minimum
       obligations through the remaining terms of its retail store leases are as
       follows (in millions of dollars): 1998, $20.3 and $15.4; 1999, $19.3 and
       $14.2; 2000, $16.5 and $12.3; 2001, $13.1 and $9.8; 2002, $9.5 and $7.2;
       and thereafter, $26.3 and $18.4, respectively.

5.   Investments and Advances in Real Estate Joint Ventures:

     The Company and its subsidiaries have investments in and advances to
       various real estate joint ventures. These joint ventures are engaged in
       the operation of shopping centers which are either owned or held under
       long-term operating leases. Summarized financial information for the
       recurring operations of these real estate joint ventures is as follows
       (in millions of dollars):

     Other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets include
       accounts with certain real estate joint ventures totaling approximately
       $5.1 and $4.1 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
       Company and its subsidiaries have varying equity interests in these real
       estate joint ventures which may differ from their proportionate share of
       net income or loss recognized in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles.

       1997 and 1996, respectively.

                    KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

                                   ----------

     Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at a limited number of banks and
       financial institutions, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it
       mitigates its risks by investing in or through major financial
       institutions. Recoverability of investments is dependent upon the
       performance of the issuers.

7.   Notes Payable:

     The Company has implemented a $150 million unsecured medium-term notes
       ("MTN") program pursuant to which it may from time to time offer for sale
       its senior unsecured debt for any general corporate purposes, including
       (i) funding specific liquidity requirements in its business, including
       property acquisition and redevelopment costs, and (ii) better managing
       the Company's debt maturities.

     During May and July 1997, the Company issued under its MTN program $100
       million in fixed-rate senior unsecured medium-term notes (the "1997
       Notes"). These notes have maturities ranging from ten to twelve years,
       and bear interest ranging from 6.96% to 7.56%. Interest on these notes is
       payable semi-annually in arrears.

     As of December 31, 1997, a total principal amount of $160.25 million,
       including the 1997 notes, in fixed-rate senior unsecured notes had been
       issued under the MTN program primarily for the acquisition of
       neighborhood and community shopping centers and the expansion and
       improvement of properties in the Company's portfolio. These notes have
       maturities ranging from ten to twelve years and bear interest at rates
       ranging from 6.70% to 7.91%. Interest on these fixed-rate senior
       unsecured notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $100 million in Floating Rate
       Senior Notes due 1999 bearing interest at LIBOR plus .50% (6.3% at
       December 31, 1997). Interest on these floating-rate, senior unsecured
       notes resets and is payable quarterly in arrears.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $100 million in 6.5% fixed-rate
       unsecured Senior Notes due 2003. Interest on these senior unsecured notes
       is paid semi-annually in arrears.

     During August 1996, the Company redeemed its $50 million unsecured Floating
       Rate Senior Notes due in 1998. These Floating Rate Senior Notes,
       redeemable at par at the option of the Company after May 11, 1996 and
       bearing interest at LIBOR plus .50%, were refinanced with a $50 million
       floating-rate unsecured medium-term note issued under the Company's MTN
       program. This floating-rate medium-term note is due in 1998 and bears
       interest at LIBOR plus .12% (6.0% at December 31, 1997). Interest on this
       floating-rate, senior unsecured medium-term note resets and is payable
       quarterly in arrears.


     In accordance with the terms of the Indenture pursuant to which the
       Company's senior, unsecured notes have been issued, the Company is (a)
       subject to maintaining certain maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured

                                   ----------

       senior corporate and secured debt, minimum debt service coverage ratios
       and minimum equity levels, and (b) restricted from paying dividends in
       amounts that exceed by more than $26 million the funds from operations,
       as defined, generated through the end of the calendar quarter most
       recently completed prior to the declaration of such dividend; however,
       this dividend limitation does not apply to any distributions necessary to
       maintain the Company's qualification as a REIT providing the Company is
       in compliance with its total leverage limitations.

     The Company maintains a $100 million, unsecured revolving credit agreement
       with a group of banks. Borrowings under this facility are available for
       general corporate purposes, including property acquisitions and
       redevelopment. Interest on borrowings accrues at a spread (currently
       .50%) to LIBOR or money-market rates, as applicable, which fluctuates in
       accordance with changes in the Company's senior debt ratings. A fee
       approximating .14% per annum is payable on that portion of the facility
       which remains unused. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the
       Company, among other things, is (a) subject to maintaining certain
       maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured senior corporate and secured
       debt, a minimum debt service coverage ratio and minimum unencumbered
       asset and equity levels, and (b) restricted from paying dividends in
       amounts that exceed 90% of funds from operations, as defined, plus 10% of
       the Company's stockholders' equity determined in accordance with
       generally accepted accounting principles. There were no borrowings
       outstanding under this facility at December 31, 1997. This revolving
       credit facility is scheduled to expire in June 2000.

8.   Mortgages Payable:

     Mortgages payable, collateralized by certain shopping center properties and
       related tenants' leases, are generally due in monthly installments of
       principal and/or interest which mature at various dates through 2008.
       Interest rates range from approximately 6.8% to 12.9% (weighted average
       interest rate of 9.5% as of December 31, 1997). The scheduled maturities
       of all mortgages payable as of December 31, 1997, are approximately as
       follows (in millions of dollars): 1998, $7.9; 1999, $22.6; 2000, $61.6;
       2001, $5.7; 2002, $1.2; and thereafter, $22.4.

     Three of the Company's properties are encumbered by approximately $13.5
       million in floating-rate, tax-exempt mortgage bond financing. The rates

       on the bonds are reset annually, at which time bondholders have the right
       to require the Company to repurchase the bonds. The Company has engaged a
       remarketing agent for the purpose of offering for resale those bonds that
       are tendered to the Company. All bonds tendered for redemption in the
       past have been remarketed and the Company has arrangements, including
       letters of credit, with banks to both collateralize the principal amount
       and accrued interest on such bonds and to fund any repurchase
       obligations.

9.   KC Holdings, Inc.:

     To facilitate the Company's November 1991 initial public stock offering
       (the "IPO"), forty-six shopping center properties and certain other
       assets, together with indebtedness related thereto, were transferred to
       subsidiaries of KC Holdings, Inc. ("KC Holdings"), a newly-formed
       corporation that is owned by the stockholders of the Company prior to the

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

                                   ----------

       IPO. The Company continues to manage eighteen of these shopping center
       properties and was granted ten-year, fixed-price options to reacquire the
       real estate assets owned by KC Holdings' subsidiaries, subject to any
       liabilities outstanding with respect to such assets at the time of an
       option exercise. As of December 31, 1997, KC Holdings' subsidiaries had
       conveyed 14 shopping centers back to the Company and had disposed of ten
       additional centers in transactions with third parties. The members of the
       Company's Board of Directors who are not also shareholders of KC Holdings
       unanimously approved the purchase of each of the 14 shopping centers that
       have been reacquired by the Company from KC Holdings.

     Selected financial information for the twenty-two properties owned by KC
       Holdings' subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997, is
       as follows: Real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and
       amortization, $55.0 million; Notes and mortgages payable, $61.2 million;
       Revenues from rental property, $11.2 million; Loss from rental
       operations, $.2 million, after depreciation and amortization deductions
       of $2.1 million; Income adjustment for real estate joint ventures, net,
       $.3 million.

10.  Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments:

     All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying
       Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation
       based upon an interpretation of available market information and
       valuation methodologies (including discounted cash flow analyses with

       regard to fixed rate debt) considered appropriate, reasonably approximate
       their fair values. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily
       indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition of the
       Company's financial instruments.

11.  Preferred and Common Stock Offerings:

     On September 30, 1997, the Company completed a primary public stock
       offering of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $35.50 per share. The net
       proceeds from this sale of common stock, totaling approximately $134.5
       million (after related transaction costs of approximately $7.5 million),
       have been used primarily for the acquisition of neighborhood and
       community shopping centers.

     On February 2, 1996, the Company completed a primary public stock offering
       of 2,200,000 shares of common stock at $26.50 per share. The net proceeds
       from this sale of common stock, totaling approximately $55.0 million
       (after related transaction costs of approximately $3.4 million), have
       been used primarily for the acquisition of neighborhood and community
       shopping centers.

     On April 10, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 4,000,000
       Depositary Shares (the "Class C Depositary Shares") at $25.00 per share,
       each such Class C Depositary Share representing 1/10 of a share of the
       Company's 8-3/8% Class C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the
       "Class C Preferred Stock"), par value $1.00 per share. The cash proceeds
       to the Company, net of related transaction costs of approximately $3.6
       million, totaling approximately $96.4 million, were used for the
       acquisition of interests in neighborhood and community shopping centers,
       and the redevelopment, expansion and improvement of properties in the
       Company's portfolio.

                                   ----------

     Dividends on the Class C Depositary Shares are cumulative and payable
       quarterly in arrears at the rate of 8-3/8% per annum based on the $25 per
       share initial offering price, or $2.0938 per depositary share. The Class
       C Depositary Shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash on or
       after April 15, 2001 at the option of the Company at a redemption price
       of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends
       thereon. The redemption price of the Class C Preferred Stock may be paid
       solely from the sale proceeds of other capital stock of the Company,
       which may include other classes or series of preferred stock. The Class C
       Depositary Shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any other
       property or securities of the Company. The Class C Preferred Stock

       (represented by the Class C Depositary Shares outstanding) ranks pari
       passu with the Company's 7-3/4% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
       Stock and 8-1/2% Class B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as to
       voting rights, priority for receiving dividends and liquidation
       preferences as set forth below.

     The Company has outstanding 3,000,000 Depositary Shares (the "Class A
       Depositary Shares"), each such Class A Depositary Share representing 1/10
       of a share of the Company's 7-3/4% Class A Cumulative Redeemable
       Preferred Stock (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), par value $1.00 per
       share, and 2,000,000 Depositary Shares (the "Class B Depositary Shares"),
       each such Class B Depositary Share representing 1/10 of a share of the
       Company's 8-1/2% Class B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the
       "Class B Preferred Stock"), par value $1.00 per share.

     Dividends on the Class A Depositary Shares are cumulative and payable
       quarterly in arrears at the rate of 7-3/4% per annum based on the $25 per
       share initial offering price, or $1.9375 per depositary share. The Class
       A Depositary Shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash on or
       after September 23, 1998 at the option of the Company, at a redemption
       price of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends
       thereon. The Class A Depositary Shares are not convertible or
       exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company. The
       Class A Preferred Stock (represented by the Class A Depositary Shares
       outstanding) ranks pari passu with the Company's Class B Preferred Stock
       and Class C Preferred Stock as to voting rights, priority for receiving
       dividends and liquidation preferences as set forth below.

     Dividends on the Class B Depositary Shares are cumulative and payable
       quarterly in arrears at the rate of 8-1/2% per annum based on the $25 per
       share initial offering price, or $2.125 per depositary share. The Class B
       Depositary Shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash on or
       after July 15, 2000 at the option of the Company at a redemption price of
       $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
       The redemption price of the Class B Preferred Stock may be paid solely
       from the sale proceeds of other capital stock of the Company, which may
       include other classes or series of preferred stock. The Class B
       Depositary Shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any other
       property or securities of the Company. The Class B Preferred Stock
       (represented by the Class B Depositary Shares outstanding) ranks pari
       passu with the Company's Class A Preferred Stock and Class C Preferred
       Stock as to voting rights, priority for receiving dividends and
       liquidation preferences as set forth below.

     Voting Rights - As to any matter on which the Class A Preferred Stock,
       Class B Preferred Stock and Class C Preferred Stock (collectively, the
       "Preferred Stock") may vote, including any action by written consent,
       each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 10 votes, each of
       which 10 votes may be directed separately by the holder thereof. With
       respect to each share of Preferred Stock, the holder thereof may
       designate up to 10 proxies, with each such proxy having the right to vote
       a whole number of votes (totaling 10 votes per share of Preferred Stock).
       As a result, each Class A, each Class B and each Class C Depositary Share
       is entitled to one vote.

     Liquidation Rights - In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
       winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Preferred Stock holders are
       entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company legally available
       for distribution to its stockholders, a liquidation preference of $250.00
       per share ($25 per Class A, Class B and Class C Depositary Share,
       respectively), plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends
       to the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to
       holders of the Company's common stock or any other capital stock that
       ranks junior to the Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights.

12.  Dispositions of Real Estate:

     During June 1997, the Company disposed of a property in Troy, OH. Proceeds
       from the disposition totaling approximately $1.6 million, together with
       an additional $8.3 million cash investment, were used to acquire an
       exchange shopping center property located in Ocala, FL.

     During September 1996, the Company disposed of a property in Watertown, NY.
       Proceeds from the disposition totaling approximately $1.8 million in
       cash, together with an additional $2.2 million cash investment, were used
       to acquire an exchange shopping center property located in Lafayette, IN
       during January 1997.

13.  Transactions with Related Parties:

     The Company provides management services for shopping centers owned
       principally by affiliated entities and various real estate joint ventures
       in which certain stockholders of the Company have economic interests.
       Such services are performed pursuant to management agreements which
       provide for fees based upon a percentage of gross revenues from the
       properties and other direct costs incurred in connection with management
       of the centers. The Consolidated Statements of Income include management
       fee income from KC Holdings of approximately $.6 million, $.6 million,
       and $.6 million during years 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Reference should be made to Notes 5 and 9 for further information regarding
       transactions with related parties.

14.  Commitments and Contingencies:

     The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the operation of shopping
       centers which are either owned or held under long-term leases which

       expire at various dates through 2076. The Company and its subsidiaries, 
       in turn, lease premises in these centers to tenants pursuant to lease
       agreements which provide for terms ranging generally from 5 to 25 years
       and for annual

       97% of total revenues from rental property for the years ended December
       31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The future minimum revenues from rental property under the terms of all
       noncancellable tenant leases, assuming no new or renegotiated leases are
       executed for such premises, for future years are approximately as follows
       (in millions of dollars): 1998, $175.1; 1999, $165.8; 2000, $153.1; 2001,
       $139.2; 2002, $126.1; and thereafter, $1,206.9.

       $9.4; 2000, $8.8; 2001, $7.5; 2002, $6.6; and thereafter, $79.6.

15.  Incentive Plans:

     The Company maintains a stock option plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which a
       maximum 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued for
       qualified and non-qualified options. Options granted under the Plan
       generally vest ratably over a three-year term, expire ten years from the
       date of grant and are exercisable at the market price on the date of
       grant, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

                                   ----------

       1,115,873 shares of the Company's common stock were available for
       issuance under the Plan at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
       respectively.

     The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure-only provisions of
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for
       Stock-Based Compensation". Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
       recognized with regard to options granted under the Plan in the
       accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. If stock-based
       compensation costs had been recognized based on the estimated fair values

       at the dates of grant for options awarded during 1997, 1996 and 1995, net
       income and net income per common share for these calendar years would
       have been reduced by approximately $.7 million, or $.02 per share, $.4
       million, or $.01 per share, and $.1 million, or less than $.01 per share,
       respectively.

     These pro forma adjustments to net income and net income per common share
       assume fair values of each option grant estimated using the Black-Scholes
       option pricing formula. The more significant assumptions underlying the
       determination of such fair values for options granted during 1997, 1996
       and 1995 include: (i) weighted average risk-free interest rates of 6.18%,
       6.24% and 6.02%, respectively; (ii) weighted average expected option
       lives of 8.2 years, 7.25 years and 6.13 years, respectively; (iii) an
       expected volatility of 15.65%, 15.79% and 15.79%, respectively, and (iv)
       an expected dividend yield of 6.44%, 6.82% and 6.82%, respectively. The
       per share weighted average fair value at the dates of grant for options
       awarded during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $3.02, $2.50 and $2.14,
       respectively.

     The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all
       officers and employees which permits participants to defer up to a
       maximum 10% of their eligible compensation. This deferred compensation,
       together with Company matching contributions which generally equal
       employee deferrals up to a maximum of 5%, is fully vested and funded as
       of December 31, 1997. Company contributions to the plan totaled less than
       $.3 million for each of years 1997, 1996 and 1995.

       Sheets are net of estimated unrecoverable amounts of approximately $1.8
       million and $1.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

17.  Subsequent Events:

     Property Acquisitions / Disposition

     In January 1998, the Company acquired seven neighborhood and community
       shopping center properties comprising approximately 632,000 square feet
       of GLA in the Denver, CO market for approximately $43.6 million,
       including the assumption of $4.2 million of mortgage debt. These
       properties are primarily anchored by supermarket or drugstore tenants.

     In addition, the Company, through an affiliated entity, acquired interests
       in three retail properties in the Chicago, IL market comprising
       approximately 516,000 square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price
       of approximately $23.7 million. These properties include approximately
       70,000 square feet of showroom space and adjoining warehouses of
       approximately 100,000 square feet at each location. Simultaneous with
       this transaction, the Company leased, to a national furniture retailer,
       the showroom portion of each property under individual long-term leases.
       The Company is currently planning the redevelopment of the warehouse
       portion of each property.

     The Company disposed of a property in Pinellas Park, FL during January
       1998. Cash proceeds from the disposition totaling $2.3 million will be
       used to acquire an exchange shopping center property.

     Price REIT Merger

     On January 13, 1998, the Company and The Price REIT, Inc., a Maryland
       corporation ("Price REIT") signed a definitive agreement to merge, (the
       "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
       dated January 13, 1998, as amended March 5, 1998 (the "Merger

       Agreement"), Price REIT will be merged into a newly formed wholly-owned
       subsidiary of the Company.

     The transaction is intended, for financial accounting purposes, to be
       accounted for as a purchase. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement each
       share of Price REIT common stock will be exchanged for a combination of
       the Company's common stock and Kimco depositary shares (the "Class D
       Depository Shares"), each

                                       55

       depositary share representing a 1/10  of a share interest in a new issue
       of Kimco 7.5% Class D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Class
       D Convertible Preferred Stock") having an aggregate value of at least $45
       based on the "Kimco Average Price" (as defined herein) and the
       liquidation preference of the Class D Depositary Shares (collectively,
       the "Merger Consideration"). The Merger, which is expected to be
       completed in mid-1998, is subject to customary closing conditions,
       including certain regulatory approvals and the approval of the issuance
       of the Merger Consideration by the stockholders of the Company and the
       approval of the Merger by the stockholders of Price REIT.

     The Merger Agreement provides for a pre-closing adjustment to the number of
       shares of the Company's common stock and Class D Depositary Shares
       issuable per share of Price REIT common stock in order to ensure that
       Price REIT stockholders will receive at least, and possibly more than,
       $45 in the Company's securities per Price REIT share. Specifically, in
       the event that the average closing price of the Company's common stock
       (the "Kimco Average Price" as defined herein) ending on and including the
       seventh trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's
       1998 annual meeting of stockholders plus $10 is less than $45, the 
       amount of Class D Depositary Shares will be increased up to a maximum of 
       $11.25 of Class D Depositary Shares (based on a liquidation preference 
       of $25 per Class D Depositary Share) to arrive at a value of $45. To the 
       extent that the issuance of $11.25 of Class D Depositary Shares would 
       still result in less than $45 of combined value, the number of shares of 
       the Company's common stock issuable per Price REIT share will be 
       increased in order to arrive at a total of $45 delivered in the 
       Company's securities. However, the Company may elect to terminate the 
       Merger Agreement in the event its Average Price (the "Average Price", as 
       defined herein) during a specified calculation period or the closing 
       price on the scheduled closing date or on either of the two days prior 
       to the scheduled closing date is less than $32.

     In the event that the "Kimco Average Price" (as defined herein)  plus $10
       is greater than $45, each share of Price REIT common stock would continue
       to be converted into one share of the Company's common stock and the
       amount of Class D Depositary Shares will be decreased by 50% of the
       amount by which the Kimco Average Price referred to above plus $10
       exceeds $45. However, Price REIT stockholders will never receive less
       than $9 of Class D Depositary Shares. Thus, as a result of the merger,
       Price REIT stockholders will obtain the benefit of 50% of the increase in

       value of the Company's common stock as reflected in the Kimco Average
       Price between $35 and $37, and 100% of any increase above $37.

     As used herein, the "Kimco Average Price" shall be the average of Average
       Prices (as defined herein) of the the Company's common stock for fifteen
       (15) randomly selected trading days within the thirty (30) consecutive
       trading days ending on and including the seventh trading day immediately
       preceding the date of the Company's 1998 annual meeting of stockholders.
       As used herein, the "Average Price" for any date means the average of the
       daily high and low prices of the Company's common stock on the New York
       Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or if
       not reported thereby, by another authoritative source. The random
       selection of trading days shall be made under the joint supervision of
       the financial advisors retained by the Company and Price REIT in
       connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

                                       56
<PAGE>


     The dividend rate on the Class D Depositary Shares will be 7.5 % per annum,
       or, if greater, the dividend on the shares of the Company's common stock
       into which a Class D Depositary Share is convertible plus $0.0275
       quarterly. The Class D Depositary Shares will be convertible into the
       Company's common stock at a conversion price of $40.25 per share at any
       time by the holder and may be redeemed by the Company at the conversion
       price in shares of the Company's common stock at any time after the third
       anniversary of the Merger if for any 20 trading days during a rolling 30
       day consecutive trading-day period the Company's common stock closing
       price exceeds $48.30, subject to certain adjustments. The Class D
       Depositary Shares are expected to be listed on the NYSE.

     The Merger Agreement also provides that each party will be entitled to a
       Break-Up Fee in the amount of $12,500,000 or reimbursement of expenses up
       to $2,000,000 in the event the agreement is terminated under various
       circumstances. The Company has also agreed that if it elects to terminate
       the Merger Agreement because its common stock price closes below $32
       Price REIT will be entitled to receive $6,250,000.

     Financings

     On March 2, 1998, the Company obtained an additional $150 million interim
       unsecured credit facility to both finance the purchase of properties and
       meet any short-term working capital requirements. The terms of this
       interim facility are substantially the same as those under the Company's
       $100 million revolving credit facility (See Note 7). This facility is
       scheduled to expire in June 1998, however, it is the Company's intention
       to extend the term of this facility and establish it as a continuing part
       of the Company's total unsecured revolving credit availability.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective
covenants and agreements set forth below the parties hereto agree as follows:

          d)   "Calendar Quarter" shall mean each of the three month periods
               ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each
               year.

          e)   "Cause": For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have
               "Cause" to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder upon
               (i) a finding by the Board that he has harmed the Company through
               an act of dishonesty in the performance of his duties hereunder,
               (ii) his conviction of a felony, or (iii) his failure to perform
               his material duties under this Agreement (other than a failure
               due to disability) after written notice specifying the failure
               and a reasonable opportunity to cure (it being understood that if
               his failure to perform is not of a type requiring a single action
               to cure fully, that he may commence the cure promptly after such
               written notice and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to
               completion).

          f)   "Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the
               Executive's duties to the Company on a full-time basis for a
               total of 16 weeks during any 12 month period as a result of
               incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined
               to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company
               and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal
               representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be
               withheld unreasonably).

          h)   "Employment Fraction" is defined in Section 5(b).

          i)   "Guaranteed Bonus" is defined in Section 5(b).

     2.   Employment The Company shall employ the Executive, and the Executive
          shall enter the employ of the Company, in the positions set forth in
          Section 3 and upon the other terms and conditions herein provided.
          Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement and the
          term of employment hereunder (the "Term of Employment") shall
          initially commence on the Effective Date and expire on the second
          anniversary of such date.

     3.   Position: During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall serve as
          the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, reporting directly to the
          President of the Company.

     4.   Place of Performance: In connection with his employment during the
          Term of Employment, the Executive shall be based at the Company's
          principal executive offices currently located in New Hyde Park, NY.

     5.   Compensation and Related Matters:

          a)   Base Salary: During the Term of Employment the Executive shall
               receive a base salary ("Base Salary") at a rate of $250,000 per
               annum ( or such greater amount as shall be determined by the
               Board), payable monthly or more frequently in accordance with the
               Company's practice as applied to other senior executives.

          b)   Bonus: As additional compensation for services rendered, the
               Executive shall receive a bonus ("Bonus") in cash as of the
               latest day in each Calendar Quarter any part of which falls
               within the Term of Employment. The amount of the Bonus shall be
               one-quarter of the product of $150,000 and the Employment
               Fraction for the Calendar Quarter period in question (the
               "Guaranteed Bonus") or such higher amount as the Board in its
               sole discretion shall determine. The "Employment Fraction" for a
               Calendar Quarter is the fraction of such period which falls
               within the Term of Employment.

          c)   Equity Compensation: at the Effective Date and pursuant to an
               agreement under the Stock Option Plan for Key Employees and

               Outside Directors of Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Option
               Plan"), the Company shall grant the Executive stock options with
               respect to 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
               exercisable at the fair market value of such stock at the date of
               grant (the "Stock Options"). The Stock Options shall be "Non
               Qualified Options" (as such term is defined in the Option Plan)
               and shall vest in three equal installments upon the day prior to
               each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

          d)   Benefits: During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be
               entitled to participate in or receive benefits under the employee
               benefit plans and other arrangements made available by the
               Company to its senior employees generally (collectively
               "Benefits") subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms,
               conditions and overall administration of such plans or
               arrangements, provided, however that the Executive shall be
               entitled to [four] weeks of paid vacation per annum during the
               Term of Employment, exclusive of Company holidays and that the
               Executive shall be entitled to take sick or personal days off in
               accordance with Company's practice as applied to other senior
               executives.

          e)   Business Expenses: the Company shall promptly reimburse the
               Executive for all reasonable travel and other business expenses
               incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties to the
               Company hereunder.

          f)   No Waiver: the Executive shall also be entitled to such other
               benefits or terms of employment as are provided by law.

     6.   Termination: The Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated by
          the Company or the Executive, as applicable, without any breach of
          this Agreement only under the following circumstances:

<PAGE>


          a)   Death: The Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon
               his death.

          b)   Disability: If the Company determines in good faith that
               Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Term of
               Employment, the Company may give the Executive written notice of
               its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such
               event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall
               terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice
               by the Executive, provided that within the 30 days after such
               receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time
               performance of his duties. The Executive shall continue to
               receive his Base Salary and Benefits until the date of
               termination.

estate of beneficiaries to any disability or other benefits then available to
the Executive under any disability insurance or other benefit plan or policy

               hereunder for Cause.

          d)   Without Cause: the Company may terminate the Executive's
               employment hereunder without Cause upon [thirty days] notice.

          e)   Notice of Termination: Any termination of the Executive's
               employment hereunder (other than by reason of the Executive's
               death) shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the
               other parties hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "notice
               of termination" shall mean a written notice which (i) indicates
               the specific termination provision in the Agreement relied upon,
               (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail any facts and circumstances
               claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
               employment under the provision indicated and (iii) specifies the
               effective date of the termination.

     7.   Benefits upon Termination of Employment:

          a)   Termination upon Death or Disability: If the Executive's
               employment shall terminate by reason of his death (pursuant to
               Section 6(a)) or by reason of his Disability (pursuant to Section
               6(b)), the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his Base
               Salary and Guaranteed Bonus and to make all necessary payment for

               pursuant to Section 5(d) until the date of his termination, and
               the Executive's Stock shall become fully vested as of such date
               of termination.

          b)   Termination without Cause: If the Executive's employment shall
               terminate without Cause (pursuant to Section 6(b))

     (i)     the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his Base Salary
               and Guaranteed Bonus and to make all necessary payments for and
               provide all Benefits to the Executive under this Agreement
               pursuant to Section 5(d) until the then scheduled expiration of
               the Term of Employment

     (ii)   if the Sock Option have not become 100% vested and have not

          c)   Termination by Reason of Expiration of the Term of Employment:
               Should the Executive's employment hereunder terminate by reason
               of the expiration of the Term of Employment.

     (i)     the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his Base Salary
               and Guaranteed Bonus and to make all necessary payments for and

     16.  Entire Agreement: The terms of this Agreement are intended by the
          parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to
          the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be

          that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform,

          failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or

          hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable to the

          Executive under any other agreement between the Executive and the

          employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company to which
          he may be entitled as an employee of the Company.

     19.  No Inconsistent Actions: Cooperation

          a)   The parties hereto shall not voluntarily undertake or fail to
               undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with the
               provisions or essential intent of this Agreement. Furthermore, it
               is the intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and

               application of the provisions of this Agreement.

     CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 2, 1998, among KIMCO REALTY
CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the "Borrower"), the several banks,
financial institutions and other entities from time to time parties to this
Agreement (the "Lenders"), THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK and THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF CHICAGO, as co-managers (in such capacity, the "Co-Managers"), and THE CHASE
MANHATTAN BANK, a New York banking corporation, as administrative agent for the
Lenders hereunder (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent").

     The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                             SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

     1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall

have the following meanings:

          "ABR": for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary,
     to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in
     effect on such day, (b) the Base CD Rate in effect on such day plus 1% and
     (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%.
     For purposes hereof: "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate of interest per annum
     publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its
     prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the Prime
     Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by Chase
     in connection with extensions of credit to debtors); "Base CD Rate" shall
     mean the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate
     and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of
     which is one minus the C/D Reserve Percentage and (b) the C/D Assessment
     Rate; "Three-Month Secondary CD Rate" shall mean, for any day, the
     secondary market rate for three-month certificates of deposit reported as
     being in effect on such day (or, if such day shall not be a Business Day,
     the next preceding Business Day) by the Board through the public
     information telephone line of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (which
     rate will, under the current practices of the Board, be published in

     SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT FACILITIES

     2.1 RESERVED. THIS SECTION INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

     2.2 Commitments. (a) Revolving Credit Loans. (i) Subject to the terms and

conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans
to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, does not exceed
the amount of such Lender's Commitment. During the Commitment Period the
Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit
Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in no event shall, at any time, the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding
Revolving Extensions of Credit of all of the Lenders exceed the aggregate
Commitments then in effect.

     (ii) The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be (v) Eurodollar
Loans, (w) ABR Loans, (x) C/D Rate Loans, (y) Money Market Loans or (z) a
combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2(d) and 2.4, provided that
no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan or a C/D Rate Loan
after the day that is one month or 30 days, respectively, prior to the
Termination Date. 

     (b) Notes. The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-2, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount
(a "Note"), payable to the order of such Lender and in a principal amount equal
to the lesser of (i) the amount of the initial Commitment of such Lender and
(ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by
such Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the date, Type and
amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by such Lender, each continuation
thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type, the date
and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof and, in the case
of Eurodollar Loans and C/D Rate Loans, the length of each Interest Period with
respect thereto and, in the case of Money Market Loans, the Money Market Loan
Maturity Date with respect thereto, on the schedule annexed to and constituting
a part of its Note, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie
evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided that the
failure by any Lender to make any such recordation or any error in such
recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement or the Notes. Each Note shall (x) be dated the Closing Date, (y) be
stated to have a final maturity on the Termination Date and (z) provide for the
payment of interest in accordance with Section 2.6.

     (c) Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay all then
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on the Termination Date or such earlier date
as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein; provided, that each Money
Market Loan shall, in any event, be repaid on the Money Market Loan Maturity
Date in respect thereof.

     (d) Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower may borrow
under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided
that the Borrower shall

                                                                              18

give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received
by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, (i) three
Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the
requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans or Money
Market Loans having a Money Market Loan Maturity Date of more than six days from
the relevant Borrowing Date, (ii) two Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are
to be initially C/D Rate Loans or Money Market Loans having a Money Market Loan
Maturity Date of six days or less from the relevant Borrowing Date, or (iii) one
Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, otherwise), specifying (w)
the amount to be borrowed, (x) the requested Borrowing Date and, in the case of
each Money Market Loan, the requested Money Market Loan Maturity Date, (y)
whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans, C/D Rate Loans,
Money Market Loans or a combination thereof and (z) if the borrowing is to be
entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans, the respective amounts
of each such Type of Revolving Credit Loan and the respective lengths of the
initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be
in an amount equal to (i) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple
of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Commitments
are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, C/D Rate Loans or Money Market Loans, $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender
will make the amount of its pro rata share of each such borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the
Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.2 prior to 11:00 A.M., New York
City time (or in the case of Money Market Loans having a Money Market Loan
Maturity Date of six days or less from the relevant Borrowing Date, 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time), on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account
of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts
made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent. In no event may the number of Money Market
Loans requested in any calendar month pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) exceed
seven.

     (e) Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
all borrowings, prepayments, conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit
Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in
such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect
thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
comprising each Tranche shall be equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof, (ii) no Lender's share of any Tranche shall be less
than $500,000 and (iii) there shall be no more than four Tranches outstanding at
any one time.

     (f) Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the
right, upon not less than three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to

reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or
reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any payments
of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, when
added to the aggregate L/C Obligations then outstanding, would exceed the
Commitments then in effect or (ii) the Available Commitment of any Lender would
be less than zero. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000
or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in
effect.

     2.3 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (subject, in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, C/D Rate Loans and Money Market Loans, to compliance with the terms of
Sections 2.2(e) and 2.13), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon
at least three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent,
specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of
Eurodollar Loans, C/D 


                                       91
<PAGE>


                                                                              19

Rate Loans, ABR Loans, Money Market Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a
combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If
any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.13. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if
less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans).

     2.4 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans to ABR Loans, and/or
to convert Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans to C/D Rate Loans, by giving the
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of
such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate
Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans or C/D
Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three
Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such
conversion of C/D Rate Loans may, subject to the third succeeding sentence, only
be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Any such
notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans shall specify the
length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt
of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender thereof. If the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
to C/D Rate Loans that are to be converted to Eurodollar Loans is not a Business
Day, such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
during the period from such last day to such succeeding Business Day such Loans
shall bear interest as if they were ABR Loans. All or any part of outstanding
Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans and C/D Rate Loans may be converted as provided

herein, provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan or a
C/D Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their
sole discretion that such a conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such
conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.2(e)
would not be contravened and (iii) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted
into a Eurodollar Loan or a C/D Rate Loan after the date that is one month or 30
days, respectively, prior to the Termination Date.

     (b) Any Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans may be continued as such upon
the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in
Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such
Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan or C/D Rate Loan may be continued as
such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their
sole discretion that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after
giving effect thereto, Section 2.2(e) would be contravened or (iii) after the
date that is one month or 30 days, respectively, prior to the Termination Date,
and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required
notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not
permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically
converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

     2.5 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") for the
period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the
Termination Date, computed at the rate of 1/8th of 1% per annum on the average
daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for
which payment is made (taking into consideration any reductions in the
Commitment of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(f) occurring during such
period), payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September and December during the term of this Agreement and on the Termination
Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein,
commencing on the first of such 



                                       92

                                                                              20

     dates to occur after the Closing Date.

     (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, and, to the extent mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, for the account of the Lenders, the fees in the amounts and on the
dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower.

     2.6 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate

per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin.

     (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR
plus the Applicable Margin.

     (c) Each C/D Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day during each
Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the C/D Rate
determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

     (d) Each Money Market Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Money Market Rate applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin.

     (e) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Revolving Credit
Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee or other
amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal (except as
otherwise specified in clause (y) below), the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6 plus
3% or (y) in the case of any overdue principal with respect to Money Market
Loans or any overdue interest, commitment fee or other amount, the rate
described in Section 2.6(b) plus 3%, in each case from the date of such
non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (as well after as
before judgment).

     (f) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date,
provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.6(e) shall be payable from
time to time on demand. 

     2.7 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Commitment fees and interest
(other than interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate) shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest
calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a
365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate, C/D Rate or Money Market
Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Revolving Credit Loan resulting from
a change in the ABR or the C/D Assessment Rate shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest
rate.

     (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the
Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or C/D Rate
Loan.

     2.8 Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Unavailability of C/D Rate
Option. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:




                                       93
<PAGE>


                                                                              21

          (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
     determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by
     reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
     reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or the
     C/D Rate for such Interest Period,

          (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
     Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate or the C/D Rate determined or to
     be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
     reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such
     Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Revolving Credit Loans
     during such Interest Period, or

          (c) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any
     Lender that it is unable to fund Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on the
     basis of the C/D Rate,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the
Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is
given (x) any Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans, as the case may be, requested
to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans,
(y) any Revolving Credit Loans that were to have been converted on the first day
of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans, as the case may
be, shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding
Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be converted, on
the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been
withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate
Loans, as the case may be, shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the
Borrower have the right to convert Revolving Credit Loans to Eurodollar Loans or
C/D Rate Loans, as the case may be.

     2.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower
from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any
Commitment Fee hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the
Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of
principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving
Credit Loans then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to
be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the
due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at
the Administrative Agent's office specified in Section 10.2, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. It is understood that, if any payment of principal

is made on any day in accordance with the preceding sentence, no interest shall
accrue on such day in respect of such principal. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans)
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments
of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to any such
payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable
rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to
extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment
shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by
any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that
would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender 



                                       94
<PAGE>


                                                                              22

is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective
Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to
the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to
any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.9(b) shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such
borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent
shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate
per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.

     2.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and
convert C/D Rate Loans or ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be
cancelled and (b) such Lender's Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as
Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the
respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such
Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion
of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then

current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13.

     2.11 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance
by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to
the Closing Date:

          (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
     respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of Credit or any
     Application or any Eurodollar Loan, C/D Rate Loan or Money Market Loan made
     by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in
     respect thereof (except in each case for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by
     Section 2.12 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
     such Lender);

          (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
     deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
     deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or
     other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
     relevant office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the
     determination of the Eurodollar Rate, the C/D Rate or the Money Market Rate
     hereunder; or

          (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, C/D Rate Loans or Money Market Loans
or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower
shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.11(a), it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through
the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled.

     (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the application of any
Requirement of Law 



                                       95
<PAGE>


                                                                              23


regarding capital adequacy or compliance by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority does or

shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such
corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any
Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation
could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to
capital adequacy and such Lender's treatment of its Commitments for internal
purposes as of the date on which it became a party hereto) by an amount deemed
by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such
Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written
request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
request), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

     (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation
under this Section 2.11(c) (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, so long
as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency
liabilities" under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be
required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain
reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as
provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or
other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans), an additional
amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing
such Lender's calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable,
reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender
shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during
such Interest Period, as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves
to such Eurodollar Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product
of the following for each day of such Interest Period:

          (i) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender
     to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and

          (ii) the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is
     the Eurodollar Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurodollar
     Loan, and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed
     as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by the Board
     or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and

          (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of
     which is 360.

Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.11(c) shall promptly withdraw
such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower) in the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain
such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise
cease to exist.

     (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation
under this Section 2.11(d) (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each
Interest Period with respect to any C/D Rate Loan made by such Lender, so long
as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against "non-personal time
deposits" under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be

required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain
reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on C/D Rate Loans is determined as provided
in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other
assets of such Lender which includes any C/D Rate Loans), an additional amount
(determined by such 


                                       96
<PAGE>


                                                                              24

Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing such Lender's calculation or,
if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such
reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual
costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result
of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such C/D Rate Loans, which
amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day
of such Interest Period:

               (i) the principal amount of the C/D Rate Loans made by such
          Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such
          day; and

               (ii) the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which
          is the C/D Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such C/D Rate
          Loan, and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate
          (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are
          imposed by the Board or other Governmental Authority on such date
          minus (y) such numerator; and

               (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is one and the
          denominator of which is 360.

Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.11(d) shall promptly withdraw
such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower) in the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain
such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise
cease to exist.

     (e) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.11 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the
Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in
this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder (the date on which
all of the foregoing shall have occurred, the "Final Date") until the first
anniversary of the Final Date.

     2.12 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and
the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or

hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of
net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result
of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such
Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any
such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender
having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment
under, or enforced, this Agreement or the Notes). If any such non- excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings
("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts
so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the
Notes, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase
any such amounts payable to any Non-U.S. Lender if such Lender fails to comply
with the requirements of Section 2.12(b). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are
payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall
send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such
Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay
any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the 



                                       97
<PAGE>


                                                                              25

Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a
result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 2.12(a) shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

     (b) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or resident of the
United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States of America, or any estate or
trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its
income (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which
the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224, or, in the case of a Non-U.S.
Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h)
or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a Form
W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such
Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, an annual certificate representing under
penalty of perjury that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of

Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning
of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled
foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section
864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S.
Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal
withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on
or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any
Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms
promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by
such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at
any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any
previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.12(b), a Non-U.S. Lender
shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) that
such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

     2.13 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold
each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans, C/D Rate Loans or Money Market Loans, or in the conversion
into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or C/D Rate Loans, after the Borrower
has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any
prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar
Loans, C/D Rate Loans or Money Market Loans on a day which is not the last day
of an Interest Period, or the Money Market Loan Maturity Date, as the case may
be, with respect thereto. Such indemnification may, at the option of any Lender,
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the relevant Interest Period
or the relevant Money Market Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be (or proposed
Interest Period or proposed Money Market Loan Maturity Date, as the case may
be), in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for
herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to
such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market or other relevant
market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder until the first
anniversary of the Final Date.

     2.14 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender and each Transferee agrees that,
upon the 



                                       98
<PAGE>



                                                                              26

occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10, 2.11 or
2.12 with respect to such Lender or Transferee, it will, if requested by the
Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of
such Lender or Transferee) to designate another lending office for any Loans
affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such
event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole
judgment of such Lender or Transferee, cause such Lender or Transferee and its
lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and
provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.14 shall affect or postpone
any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender or Transferee
pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12.

     2.15 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall
be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement for amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, (b) is affected in the manner described
in Section 2.10 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in Section
2.10 is required to be taken or (c) defaults in its obligation to make Revolving
Credit Loans hereunder, with a replacement bank or other financial institution;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of
Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or
institution shall purchase, at par) all Revolving Credit Loans and other amounts
owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the
Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.13 if any
Eurodollar Loan, C/D Rate Loan or Money Market Loan owing to such replaced
Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the
Interest Period or the Money Market Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be,
relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a
Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, (vi) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.8 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as
such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional
amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, as the case may be,
and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights
which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have
against the replaced Lender.

                          SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

     3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in
Section 0, agrees to issue letters of credit ("Letters of Credit") for the
account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such
form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that
the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if,
after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the
L/C Commitment or (ii) the Available Commitment of any Lender would be less than
zero.


     (b) Each Letter of Credit (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall
be a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of
business and (iii) shall expire no later than the earlier of the first
anniversary of the date of issuance thereof or the Termination Date (or, in the
case of any Letter of Credit with automatic renewal or evergreen provisions,
shall have a final expiration date no later than the Termination Date).

     (c) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to
the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.

     (d) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any
Letter of Credit 



                                       99
<PAGE>


                                                                              27

hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or
any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement
of Law.

     3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from
time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an
Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender
will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers
and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested
thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any
Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of
Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing
Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter
of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof.

     3.3. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender and the L/C
Participants, a letter of credit fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a
per annum rate, for each day during the period from the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit to the first date thereafter on which such Letter of Credit
shall expire or be cancelled or fully drawn (the "L/C Termination Date"), equal
to the L/C Fee Rate in effect on such day, calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit
on such day. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, such letter of
credit fee shall be payable in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date to occur
while the relevant Letter of Credit is outstanding and shall be nonrefundable. A

portion of each aforementioned letter of credit fee equal to 1/8th of 1% per
annum shall be payable to the Issuing Lender, and the remaining portion of such
letter of credit fee shall be payable to the Issuing Lender and the L/C
Participants to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages.

     (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse
the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are
incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under,
amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

     (c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all fees received by
the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Section
3.3.

     3.4. L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant
and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to
issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to
accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on
the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own
account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's
Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each
Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the
Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of
Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to
the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices
specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage
of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

     (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing
Lender



                                      100

                                                                              28


pursuant to Section 0 in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made
by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender
within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C
Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the
product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as
quoted by the Issuing Lender, during the period from and including the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is
360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to

Section 0 is not in fact made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C
Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the
rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Issuing
Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under
this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under
any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata
share of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Issuing Lender
receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the
Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing
Lender will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share
thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by
the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such
L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof
previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

     3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. (a) The Borrower agrees to
reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies
the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of
Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (i) such draft so paid
(which reimbursement may be effected through the procedure described in Section
3.5(c)) and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by
the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be
made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful
money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.

     (b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by
the Borrower under this Section 3 from the date such amounts become payable
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full
at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans which were then
overdue.

     (c) Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section
2.2(d) of ABR Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with
respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

     3.6. Obligations Absolute. (a) The Borrower's obligations under this
Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit.

     (b) The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing
Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement
Obligations under Section 0 shall not be affected by, among other things, (i)
the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even
though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged,
or (ii) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit or any other party to which 




                                      101
<PAGE>


                                                                              29

such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (iii) any claims whatsoever of the
Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such
transferee.

     (c) The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for
errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

     (d) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing
Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or
documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence of willful misconduct and
in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not
result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

     3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment
under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing
Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under
any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly
provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the
documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

     3.8. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

                    SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this
Agreement, to make or maintain the Revolving Credit Loans, and to issue or
participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on
such date, reported on by Coopers & Lybrand, copies of which have heretofore
been furnished to the Lenders, are complete and correct and present fairly the
consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited

consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
at September 30, 1997 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of
income and of cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date, certified
by a Responsible Officer, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the
Lenders, are complete and correct and present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and
notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or
Responsible Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein). Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.1, neither the Borrower nor any of its consolidated
Subsidiaries has, at the Closing Date, any material Indebtedness, Guarantee
Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any unusual forward
or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or
foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the
foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule
4.1,


                                      102
<PAGE>


                                                                              30

during the period from December 31, 1996 to and including the Closing Date there
has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Borrower or any of its
consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property and
no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any
capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated
financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries at
December 31, 1996.

     4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 1996 (a) there has been no development or
event nor any prospective development or event, which has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) except for
regular quarterly dividends, no dividends or other distributions have been
declared, paid or made upon the Capital Stock of the Borrower nor has any of the
Capital Stock of the Borrower been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise
acquired for value by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

     4.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. (a) The Borrower (i) is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate power and authority,
and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it
operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged,
(iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the
laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or
the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent
the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to

comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Each Subsidiary of the Borrower (i) is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
(ii) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and
operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct
the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a

where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, and (iv) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except, in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above, as could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan
Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make,
deliver and perform each Loan Document to which it is a party and, in the case
of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder and each Loan Party has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each
Loan Document to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, the
borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or
authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings
hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document. Each Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. Each Loan Document
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party
thereto enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

     4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents and the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will
not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower
or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or
revenues pursuant to 



                                      103
<PAGE>


                                                                              31

any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

     4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of
or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its

Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues
(a) with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any
respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     4.8 Ownership of Property. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
good record title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its
real property, and good title to all its other property.

     4.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns,
or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology,
know-how and processes ("Intellectual Property") necessary for the conduct of
its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or
license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or
questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or
effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any
valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person,
except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.10 No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

     4.11 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused
to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, are
required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said
returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all
other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any
Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are
currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has
been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted,
with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

     4.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit
Loans will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the
respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board
as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose which
violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent a
statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form
U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.

     4.13 ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year period
prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with

respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with
the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The present value of all
accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by the Borrower or
any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on those assumptions used to fund the
Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which
this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the 



                                      104
<PAGE>


                                                                              32

value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Neither the
Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if
the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely
from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the
date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer
Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The present value (determined using
actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits
provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Borrower and
each Commonly Controlled Entity for post retirement benefits to be provided to
their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans
(as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) equals or exceeds the assets under all
such Plans allocable to such benefits.

     4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an
"investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or
regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

     4.15 Subsidiaries. The corporations listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all
the Subsidiaries of the Borrower at the Closing Date.

     4.16 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be
used by the Borrower for general corporate purposes (excluding commercial paper
back-up).

     4.17 Environmental Matters. Each of the following representations and
warranties is true and correct on and as of the Closing Date except to the
extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so
true and correct, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect:

          (a) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the Properties do not
     contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental
     Concern in amounts or concentrations which constitute or constituted a
     violation of, or could reasonably give rise to liability under,
     Environmental Laws.


          (b) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the Properties and all
     operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last two
     years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there
     is no contamination at, under or about the Properties, or violation of any
     Environmental Law with respect to the Properties.

          (c) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
     notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or
     potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with
     Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties, nor does the
     Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be
     received or is being threatened.

          (d) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, Materials of Environmental
     Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in
     violation of, or in a manner or to a location which could reasonably give
     rise to liability under, Environmental Laws, nor have any Materials of
     Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on
     or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could
     give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Laws.

          (e) No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative action
     is pending, or, to 



                                      105
<PAGE>


                                                                              33

     the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to
     which the Borrower is or will be named as a party with respect to the
     Properties, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent
     orders, administrative order or other orders, or other administrative of
     judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect
     to the Properties.

          (f) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, there has been no release
     or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the
     Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Borrower
     and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Properties in violation of or
     in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under
     Environmental Laws.

currently paid, insurance upon fixed assets and inventories, including public
liability insurance, fire and all other risks insured against by extended
coverage, fidelity bond coverage, business interruption insurance, and all
insurance required by law, all in form and amounts required by law and customary
to the respective natures of their businesses and properties, except in cases

where failure to maintain such insurance will not have or potentially have an
adverse effect on any of such properties or on the business, assets, property or
financial or other condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     4.19 Condition of Properties. Each of the following representations and
warranties is true and correct except to the extent that the facts and
circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so true and correct, in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

          (a) All of the improvements located on the Properties and the use of
     said improvements shall comply and shall continue to comply in all respects
     with all applicable zoning resolutions, building codes, subdivision and
     other similar applicable laws, rules and regulations and are covered by

     Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity, (iii) a Reportable Event shall
     occur with respect to, or proceedings shall commence to have a trustee

                                                                              43

Credit Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts

owing under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C
Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of
Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) and the Notes
shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other
Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with
the consent of the Required Remedial Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or
upon the request of the Required Remedial Lenders, the Administrative Agent
shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated
forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with
the consent of the Required Remedial Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or
upon the request of the Required Remedial Lenders, the Administrative Agent
shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder
(with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not
the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented
the documents required thereunder) and the Notes to be due and payable
forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

     With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for
honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash
collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the
aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. The
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a security interest in such cash
collateral to secure all obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such
Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to
repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all
other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral
account shall be returned to the Borrower. The Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender and
the L/C Participants, such further documents and instruments as the
Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of the
within security interest in such cash collateral account.

     Except as expressly provided above in this Section 8, presentment, demand,
protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

                       SECTION 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints The
Chase Manhattan Bank as the Administrative Agent for such Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably
authorizes The Chase Manhattan Bank, as the Administrative Agent for such
Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are

reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations, liabilities or standard of care shall be
read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against
the Administrative Agent.

                                                                              44

     9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys
in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

     9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be
(i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such
Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or
(ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer
thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of any Loan Party.

     9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy,
telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any

action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the Required
Remedial Lenders, as the case may be, as it deems appropriate or it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required
Lenders or the Required Remedial Lenders, as the case may be, and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon
all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

     9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or
the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that
the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Lenders or the Required Remedial Lenders, as the case
may be; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best
interests of the Lenders.

                                                                              45

     9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative
Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Loan Party,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and made its own decision to make its
Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except

for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to
the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties
which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

     9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to
their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is
sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the
Revolving Credit Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with
their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which
may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the
payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with
any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely
from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

     9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Administrative
Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. With respect to its Revolving Credit Loans made or renewed by it and
any Note issued to it, and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or
participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms
"Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

     9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders, in which case the
Required Lenders shall 



                                      118
<PAGE>

                                                                              46


appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. In addition,
in the event that the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, shall
have assigned all of its outstanding Commitments and Loans to another bank,
financial institution or other entity pursuant to Section 10.8, then the
Required Lenders may, upon 10 days' notice to the Administrative Agent, replace
the Administrative Agent with a successor agent appointed from among the
remaining Lenders. Upon approval of any such successor agent by the Borrower,
such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such
successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall
be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any
holders of the Notes. After any Administrative Agent's resignation or
replacement as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     9.10 The Co-Managers. No Co-Manager in its capacity as such shall have any
rights, duties or responsibilities hereunder, or any fiduciary relationship with
any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist
against any Co-Manager in its capacity as Co-Manager.

                            SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The
Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant
Loan Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the
other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders
or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and
conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its
consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment,
supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled
date of maturity of any Revolving Credit Loan or Note, or reduce the stated rate
of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any
payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any
Lender's Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section
10.1, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or
Required Remedial Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower
of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiaries from the
Subsidiary Guarantee, in each case without the written consent of all the
Lenders, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the
written consent of the Issuing Lender, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the then Administrative
Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall

apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the
other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders
of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties,
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former
position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes and any other Loan
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.

disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the several Lenders;
(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent
harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities

liabilities"), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to indemnified liabilities
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. The agreements in this Section 10.5
shall survive repayment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.


     10.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all
future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless a Default or
Event of Default pursuant to Section 8(a) shall have occurred and be continuing,
neither Co-Manager may sell participating interests pursuant to Section 10.7 or
assignments pursuant to Section 10.8 if, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate amount of such Co-Manager's retained Commitments which are not subject
to any participation shall be less than 15% of the aggregate Commitments of all
of the Lenders then in effect.

     10.7 Participations. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business
and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or
other entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests in any Revolving
Credit Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment
of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender
shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement
and the Notes, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes. In no event shall any
Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that
such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on,
any Revolving Credit Loan or Note or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the
date of the final maturity of any Revolving Credit Loan or Note, in each case to
the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that, while an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if amounts outstanding
under this Agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect
of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note
to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note, provided that, in
purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have
agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section
10.10(a) as fully as if it were a Lender

                                                                              49



hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 with respect to its
participation in the Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from
time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.12,
such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and
provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by
such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
Promptly after selling any participation pursuant to this Section 10.7, each
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of the
Participant and the amount of such participation.

     10.8 Assignments. (a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to
time assign to any Lender or any affiliate of any Lender or, with the consent of
the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, to an additional bank,
financial institution or other entity (each, a "Purchasing Lender") all or any
part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of
Exhibit B, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such assigning Lender (and, in
the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by
the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided,
that except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the
assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as
of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment)
shall in no event be less than $15,000,000 or such lesser amount as may be
consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and
(y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

     (b) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing
Lender that is not a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Issuing Lender and
the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a
registration and processing fee of $4,000 (which shall not be payable by the
Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment
and Acceptance and (ii) promptly after the effective date determined pursuant
thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give
notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. On or
prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Note (in exchange for the Note of
the assigning Lender) in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by the
relevant Purchasing Lender pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and, if

the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the
order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by
it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise
be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.

     10.9 The Register; Disclosure; Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. (a) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the
Commitments of the Lenders, and the principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Loans owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, in the absence of clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

                                                                              50

may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the
Revolving Credit Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (b) Subject to Section 10.18, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's
possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered
to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in
connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of the Borrower and its
Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

     (c) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any
Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

     10.10 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall
at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Revolving Credit Loans or
the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or
otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's
Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest
thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Revolving
Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof,
as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the
Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or

benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase
shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest.

     (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law,
each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such
notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency
thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such
setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

     10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

     10.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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.

     10.13 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent
the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with

representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative

other Loan Documents.

     respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of
     the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the

          (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
     may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail

     Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address
     of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant
     thereto;

          (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
     service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
     right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

          (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it
     may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to
     in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

     10.16 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

     relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the
