provision of this Amendment and without affecting in any manner the rights of

member, action;

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment

right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries and (iv) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens (if any)
created under the Loan Documents;

(d) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered for the benefit of or on
behalf of each Loan Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its

occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Borrower to the Lenders or any other obligation of the Borrower, or any
actions now or hereafter taken by the Lenders with respect to any obligation of
the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (i) is and shall continue to be

Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.

5.    Effect of Amendment. Except as set forth expressly herein, all terms of
the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents shall be
and remain in full force and effect and shall constitute the legal, valid,
binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, nor
constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement. This Amendment
shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.

6.    Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

hereto in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by
facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf form shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors,
successors-in-titles, and assigns.

11.    Entire Understanding. This Amendment sets forth the entire understanding
