business of the Borrower and each Subsidiary in accordance with generally

Borrower agree, upon request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or by
the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, to amend the covenants contained in
Section 5.01 and 5.02 so that the relative protection afforded thereby to the
Lenders and the relative flexibility afforded thereby to the Borrower will in
substance be retained after such amendment, provided, however, that until such
amendment becomes effective hereunder, the covenants as set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and those definitions and accounting principles
applicable to the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries which do meet the
standards set forth in Section 1.03 shall be applied to determine whether or not
the Borrower is in compliance with such covenants."
