     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained
and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. The
following new defined terms are added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in
its proper alphabetical position:

          ““Initial Sale and Lease-back Transaction” means the sale and
lease-back transaction with a sale price not exceeding $25,000,000 being
negotiated by the Company as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and permitted
by Section 6.03.”             ““Sixth Amendment” means the Sixth Amendment to
the Credit Agreement dated as of December 20, 2002 among the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the Required Lenders.”    
        ““Sixth Amendment Effective Date” means the date on which the Sixth
Amendment becomes effective pursuant to its terms.”             ““Steering
Committee” means the steering committee of the Lenders designated in October
2002, as the same may be constituted from time to time.”    
        ““Subsequent Sale and Lease-back Transactions” means sale and lease-back
transactions (other than the Initial Sale and Lease-back Transaction) permitted
by Section 6.03 and consummated on and after the Sixth Amendment Effective
Date.”

     SECTION 2. Amendment of Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.01
of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at
the end of the definition of “Capital Expenditures”:

  “Notwithstanding the foregoing, obligations incurred by the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries in connection with any sale and lease-back transaction
involving assets already owned by the Company or such Subsidiaries prior to such
transaction (and not acquired in contemplation thereof) shall not be deemed
“Capital Lease Obligations” for purposes of this definition.”

     SECTION 3. Amendment of Article VI of the Credit Agreement. (a) Amendment
of Section 6.01(h). Section 6.01(h) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

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

 

3

          “(h) Indebtedness consisting of Capital Lease Obligations deemed to
exist in connection with sale and lease-back transactions permitted under
Section 6.03, and other unsecured Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
permitted by paragraph (f) above) in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
$5,000,000 at any time outstanding for all Subsidiaries that, taken together
with the aggregate sale price of all arrangements permitted by Section 6.03,
does not exceed $75,000,000 at any time outstanding;”

     (b)  Amendment of Section 6.02(h). Section 6.02(h) of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “(h) Liens deemed to exist in connection with sale and lease-back
transactions permitted under Section 6.03 on the assets subject to such
transactions, and Liens on machinery and equipment of the Company and the
Subsidiaries or on cash or cash equivalents (or a combination of machinery and
equipment and cash or cash equivalents) with an aggregate fair market value not
exceeding $15,000,000 at any time securing obligations in connection with sale
and lease-back transactions permitted under Section 6.03, or securing
reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit issued to secure
such obligations; provided, however, that in connection with any sale and
lease-back transaction (i) the fair market value of any machinery and equipment
used for credit support shall be determined based on the orderly liquidation
value of such machinery and equipment and such determination shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent after consultation with the Steering
Committee; (ii) any cash or cash equivalents used for credit support in
connection with the Initial Sale and Lease-back Transaction shall not exceed
forty percent in the aggregate at any time of the total value of the collateral
used for credit support; and (iii) any combination of cash or cash equivalents,
the fair market value of any machinery and equipment and any Letters of Credit
provided as credit support shall not exceed twenty percent in the aggregate at
any time of the total value of any sale and lease-back transaction and such
combination shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent after
consultation with the Steering Committee;”

     (c)  Amendment of Section 6.03. Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the figure “$25,000,000” and substituting in lieu
thereof the figure “$75,000,000”. The Company agrees that the Net Proceeds of
all sale and lease-back transactions permitted under Section 6.03 will be
applied to prepay Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c), without giving effect
to the proviso therein.

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

     SECTION 4. Consent and Certain Agreements. (a) The undersigned Lenders
hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver any and
all documents that it may deem necessary or desirable in accordance with the
terms of this Amendment to effect (i) the release from the lien of the Security
Documents of any assets transferred in the Proposed Transactions and (ii) the
subordination of the lien of the Security Documents in relation to any lien
granted on cash or cash equivalents or on machinery and equipment provided as
credit support in connection with the Proposed Transactions.

     (b)  The undersigned Lenders hereby consent to the issuance of Letters of
Credit as credit support in connection with the Proposed Transactions; provided,
that the Company’s reimbursement obligations in connection with any Letters of
Credit issued for such purpose in connection with any Subsequent Sale and
Lease-back Transaction will at all times be collateralized with cash or cash
equivalents in an amount not less than the aggregate undrawn amount of such
Letters of Credit under arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     (c)  The undersigned Lenders hereby consent to the Company’s guarantee of
the obligations of Subsidiaries in connection with the Proposed Transactions and
agree that any such guarantee will be deemed to be permitted under Section 6.05
of the Credit Agreement.

     (d)  The undersigned Lenders and the Company agree that (i) notwithstanding
anything in the Credit Agreement, the Net Proceeds of the Initial Sale and
Lease-back Transaction shall not be reduced by any cash or cash equivalents
securing obligations in connection with such sale and lease-back transaction, or
securing reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit issued
to secure such obligations, in each case as contemplated by Section 6.02(h)
(collectively, “Pledged Cash”), and (ii) the Net Proceeds of each Subsequent
Sale and Lease-back Transaction will be net of any Pledged Cash; provided, that
if the obligations secured by any Pledged Cash shall be discharged or terminated
and as a result such Pledged Cash shall be released, then such Pledged Cash
shall be deemed to be Net Proceeds and shall be promptly applied to prepay Term
Loans under Section 2.11(c).

     SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties
hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary
represents and warrants to each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent that, as of the Amendment Effective Date (defined below):

     (a)  After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and
warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date with the same
effect as though made on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except to the

has occurred and is continuing.

action and do not and will not require any registration with, consent or
approval of, notice to or action by, any person (including any Governmental
Authority) in order to be effective and enforceable. The Credit Agreement as
amended by this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
each of the Borrowers, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity

0.10% of such Lender’s outstanding Term and Revolving Loans and unused
Commitments under the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this
Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute an
Amendment of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Parties under the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in
any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or
agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and
affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrowers to a consent to, or an
amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions,
obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall
apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement specifically referred to herein. This Amendment shall constitute a
