do hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

Section 1. Section 7.1 of Agreement Amended. Section 7.1 of the Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting in its entirety such Section 7.1 and inserting the
following in lieu thereof:

and unreimbursed drawings under letters of credit) or evidenced by a note, bond,
debenture or similar instrument of that person, and shall, in addition, include
contingent reimbursement obligations for outstanding letters of credit (to the
extent not resulting in double-counting). Such Share Based Payments shall
exclude for this covenant calculation purposes any expenses related to such
Share Based Payments arising from payments in cash or other property; provided,
the term “other property” shall not include stock, restricted stock or options
to purchase stock..

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

Section 2. Section 7.2 of Agreement Amended. Section 7.2 of the Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting in its entirety such Section 7.2 and inserting the
following in lieu thereof:

7.2 Funds Flow Coverage Ratio. Borrower shall, on a consolidated basis,
maintain, a Funds Flow Coverage Ratio of not less than (a) 2.25 to 1.00 for the
fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006,
and (b) 2.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2007 and

minus all dividends, withdrawals and non-cash income divided by (ii) the sum of
all current maturities of long-term debt and capital leases obligations, plus
interest. Such Share Based Payments shall exclude for this covenant calculation
purposes any expenses related to such Share Based Payments arising from payments
in cash or other property; provided, the term “other property” shall not include
stock, restricted stock or options to purchase stock.

Section 3. Waiver of Covenant Non-Compliance. Under Section 7.2 of the Agreement
