place thereof and (b) adding a new subsection 1.6 at the end thereof as follows:

         "1.6 Accounting Terms.

         (a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein
     shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial covenants,
     financial ratios and other financial calculations contained in this
     Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with GAAP as in effect from time
     to time, applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein,
     except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein.

         (b) If at any time any change in GAAP after January 1, 2004 would
     affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in
     any Credit Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall
     so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall
     negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the
     original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the
     approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i)
     such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with
     GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) if a request for such an
     amendment has been made, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative
     Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required
     under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a
     reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made
     before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP."

     1.4 Subsection 2.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:

         (a) Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
     each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit
     loans to the Borrower, from time to time during the Revolving Credit
     Commitment Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
     outstanding which, when added to the aggregate principal amount of
     outstanding Swing Line Loans in which such Lender has purchased a
     participation (or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line
     Loans made by such Swing Line Lender less the participations purchased in
     such Swing Line Loans by any other Lender) and such Lender's Commitment
     Percentage of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, does not exceed the
     amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment. During the Revolving
     Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit
     Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit

                                       5


     Loans, in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the
     terms and conditions hereof.

         At any time not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination
     Date, the Borrower may increase the aggregate Commitments by (I) entering
     into a binding written agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit G
     hereto, with any Lender to increase the Commitment of such Lender (an
     "Increased Commitment Agreement") which Increased Commitment Agreement
     shall be presented to the Agents for acknowledgment and acceptance (which
     shall not be withheld unless the effect thereof would be to exceed the
     maximum permitted amount herein for all Commitments, Facility B Commitments
     and Facility C Commitments (if Facility C exists) in the aggregate) and/or
     (II) subject to the First Offer Requirement (as defined below) enter into a
     binding written agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a
     "Lender Addition Agreement") with any bank, financial institution, or
     Investment Fund to become a Lender under this Agreement by making a
     Commitment and causing such Person to take all other actions required to
     become a new Lender hereunder (a "New Lender"); provided that the sum of
     (i) the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders (including New Lenders), (ii)
     the aggregate Facility B Commitments of all Facility B Lenders and (iii)
     the aggregate Facility C Commitments (if Facility C exists) of all Facility
     C Lenders (if Facility C exists) may not exceed, as of the date all or any
     portion of the Indebtedness comprising the Incremental Facility (as defined
     below) is incurred, an aggregate amount that would cause the Consolidated
     Senior Debt Ratio for the Borrower's most recently ended four full fiscal
     quarters for which internal financial statements are available to be
     greater than 2.0 to 1.0 (determined on a pro forma basis, assuming for
     purposes of this subsection 2.1(a) only, all of the proposed additional
     commitments had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period
     and all Commitments of all Lenders, all Facility B Commitments of all
     Facility B Lenders and all Facility C Commitments (if Facility C exists) of
     all Facility C Lenders (if Facility C exists) that are outstanding
     immediately prior to giving effect to the incurrence of such proposed
     additional commitments have been drawn in full, but taking into account any
     payment or prepayment of any Term Loans or term loans under Facility C (if
     Facility C exists)) (such new or increased commitments, the "Incremental
     Facility"); and provided, further that, no consent of any Lender shall be
     required for such Incremental Facility except for the consents described
     under clauses (I) and (II) above. In order to become a New Lender, a party
     must execute a Lender Addition Agreement and deliver the same to the
     Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Borrower for
     counter-execution. On the Eurodollar Loans Maturity Date (or, subject to
     compliance with subsection 2.16, on any Business Day) occurring on or
     immediately following the date that (i) the Agents have acknowledged their
     acceptance of any Increased Commitment Agreement delivered pursuant to
     clause (I) above or (ii) any Lender Addition Agreement has been executed by
     all necessary parties and delivered to the Agents, the increase in any such
     Lender's Commitment contemplated thereby shall become effective and/or the
     New Lender shall become a party to this Agreement, as applicable. Promptly
     thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule I hereto to
     accurately reflect the Commitments of the Lenders then in existence,
     whereupon such amended Schedule I shall be substituted for the pre-existing
     Schedule I, be deemed a part of this Agreement without any further action
     or consent of any party and be promptly distributed to each Lender and the
     Borrower by the Administrative Agent. The

                                       6


     Incremental Facility shall have such economic terms (i.e., pricing, amount,
     tenor, amortization) as shall be agreed at the time with the lenders
     participating therein, and shall, otherwise, be on the same terms as this
     Agreement; provided that without the written consent of Required Class
     Lenders for each Class, (i) the applicable interest rate margin under the
     Incremental Facility shall not exceed the Applicable Margin under this
     Agreement or the "Applicable Margin" under and as defined in the Facility B
     Credit Agreement by more than fifty basis points and (ii) the maturity date
     of the Incremental Facility shall be equal to or occurring after the
     scheduled Termination Date under this Agreement or the "Termination Date"
     under and as defined in the Facility B Credit Agreement; provided, further,
     that if the Borrower chooses to implement the Incremental Facility pursuant
     to clause (I) or (II) above, the Incremental Facility shall have the same
     economic terms (i.e. pricing, tenor, amortization) as this Agreement. In
     the alternative, without the consent of any Lender, Borrower may cause the
     Incremental Facility to be implemented and separately documented as
     Facility C, which shall have BOA as the administrative agent and provide
     for a ratable sharing of all Collateral and Guarantee Obligations under the
     Guarantees among and between the Lenders, the Facility B Lenders and the
     Facility C Lenders. In any case, the Administrative Agent shall have the
     right to execute, on behalf of the Lenders, any amendments and/or other
     documents necessary to implement the Incremental Facility; provided that
     such amendments and/or other documents do not affect any of the rights or
     obligations of any Lender for which the written consent of such Lender is
     necessary under subsection 10.1 unless the written consent of such Lender
     is received by the Administrative Agent. When the Incremental Facility is
     not implemented and separately documented as Facility C, the Borrower shall
     send the Administrative Agent (for distribution to each Lender) a written
     offer to participate in the Incremental Facility pursuant to clause (I)
     above, and each such Lender shall have the right, but no obligation, to
     commit to a ratable portion of the Incremental Facility, provided that no
     later than fourteen (14) days after receipt of such written request, each
     such Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whether
     it intends to participate in the Incremental Facility and the amount of its
     proposed commitment (the "First Offer Requirement"). Only after satisfying
     the First Offer Requirement and allocating requested commitments to Lenders
     requesting participation in such Incremental Facility shall Borrower be
     permitted to offer participation in any remaining commitments for the
     Incremental Facility to any proposed New Lender pursuant to clause (II)
     above."

     1.5 Subsection 2.12(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:

         "(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Revolving Credit Lenders
     hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee
     hereunder and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of
     Revolving Credit Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective
     Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Credit Lenders. Except during any
     period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each
     payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal
     of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, and any application by the
     Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any Collateral, shall be made pro
     rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such
     Loans then

                                       7


     held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
     Borrower hereunder in respect of any Loan, whether on account of principal,
     interest, Reimbursement Obligations (whether in respect of Domestic L/Cs or
     Foreign L/Cs), fees, expenses or otherwise, shall be made without set off
     or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
     on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
     Lenders with respect to such Loans, at the Administrative Agent's office
     specified in subsection 10.2, in Dollars and in immediately available
     funds; provided, that with respect to any Reimbursement Obligations of the
     Borrower arising from the presentment to the Issuing Lender of a draft
     under a Foreign L/C, the Borrower may make payment in the applicable
     Alternative Currency if such payment is received by the Issuing Lender on
     the date such draft is paid by the Issuing Lender.

         At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
     all payments (including prepayments) made by the Borrower hereunder and any
     application by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any Collateral
     and/or payment under any Guarantee shall be applied in the following order:
     (1) to the ratable payment of all amounts due and owing by the Borrower
     pursuant to subsection 10.5 of this Agreement, subsection 10.5 of the
     Facility B Credit Agreement or subsection 10.5 of the Facility C Credit
     Agreement (if Facility C exists) to the Agents, the Facility B Agents
     and/or the Facility C Agents (if Facility C exists) and, after payment in
     full thereof, to any other Lender, Facility B Lender or Facility C Lender
     (if Facility C exists); (2) to the ratable payment of all interest, fees
     and commissions due and owing under this Agreement, the Facility B Credit
     Agreement or the Facility C Credit Agreement (if Facility C exists) or to
     the Agents, the Facility B Agents, the Facility C Agents (if Facility C
     exists), the Swing Line Lender, any Lender, any Facility B Lender or any
     Facility C Lender (if Facility C exists); and (3) to the ratable payment
     (or cash collateralization) of all other obligations of the Borrower to the
     Agents, the Facility B Agents, the Facility C Agents (if Facility C
     exists), the Swing Line Lender, any Lender, any Facility B Lender or any
     Facility C Lender (if Facility C exists) under any Credit Document,
     Facility B Credit Document, Facility C Credit Document (if Facility C
     exists) or Interest Rate Agreement with any Lender, any Facility B Lender
     or any Facility C Lender (if Facility C exists), including, without
     limitation the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans, Facility B
     Loans and Facility C Loans (if Facility C exists), the aggregate L/C
     Obligations, Facility B L/C Obligations and Facility C L/C Obligations (if
     Facility C exists) and the aggregate outstanding amount of Interest Rate
     Agreement Obligations to any Lender, any Facility B Lender and any Facility
     C Lender (if Facility C exists). For purposes of applying payments and
     proceeds distributed under clause 3 above, each Lender will first apply
     such amounts to all outstanding Loans and Interest Rate Agreement
     Obligations then due and owing to such Lender before such amounts will be
     held as cash collateral for L/C Obligations in which such Lender is a L/C
     Participant.

         The Administrative Agent, the Facility B Administrative Agent and the
     Facility C Administrative Agent (if Facility C exists) shall ratably
     distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders, the Facility B Lenders
     and the Facility C Lenders (if Facility C exists) promptly upon receipt in
     like funds as received. If any payment hereunder 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

     promptly (and in any event within 30 days after such Person becomes a
     Subsidiary): (i) cause such new Subsidiary to become a party to the

     Stock of any Subsidiary that is not an Immaterial Subsidiary, to the
     Subsidiary Pledge Agreement and (ii) if requested by the Administrative
     Agent or the Required Lenders, deliver to the Administrative Agent legal
     opinions relating to the matters described in clause (i) immediately
     preceding, which opinions shall be in form and substance, and from counsel,

     Subsidiary or TCAS Subsidiary (except as provided below) of the Borrower or
     its Subsidiaries shall be required to execute a Subsidiary Guarantee or
     Subsidiary Pledge Agreement, and no more than 65% of the total combined
     voting power of the Capital Stock of or equity interests in (A) any direct

     indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower if more than 65% of the assets of such
     Subsidiary are securities of foreign companies (such determination to be
     made on the basis of fair market value), and no Subsidiary of any Person
     described in clause (A) or (B), shall be required to be pledged hereunder;
     provided, that if, after the consummation of any sale of a portion of
     Capital Stock of the TCAS Subsidiary, the TCAS Subsidiary thereafter
     becomes a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, then the TCAS Subsidiary shall become a
     party to the Subsidiary Guarantee and Subsidiary Pledge Agreement and the
     Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days after such event
     occurs) comply with the requirements of this subsection 6.10(b) with
     respect to the TCAS Subsidiary; provided, further, that if any Non-Wholly
     Owned Subsidiary thereafter becomes a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, then such
     Subsidiary shall become a party to the Subsidiary Guarantee and Subsidiary
     Pledge Agreement and Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 30
     days after such event occurs) comply with the requirements of this
     subsection 6.10(b) with respect to such Subsidiary; provided, further, that
     if the Borrower shall be required to cause any Immaterial Subsidiary
     (including, without limitation, any Immaterial Subsidiary which is also a
     Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary) to become bound by any guarantee of
     Indebtedness for borrowed money in respect of any Subordinated Indebtedness
     or Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 7.2(d), the Borrower shall
     cause such Subsidiary to execute a Subsidiary Guarantee and cause the same
     to be delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event
     within 30 days after such event occurs); provided, further, that no
     Guarantee Obligation of any Immaterial Subsidiary in effect at the time
     such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower shall trigger a
     requirement that the Borrower cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver
     a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso unless
     the Borrower is required, by virtue of such Guarantee Obligation, to cause
     such Subsidiary to become bound by a guarantee of Indebtedness for borrowed
     money in respect of any Subordinated Indebtedness.

     Borrower shall cause at all times Subsidiaries that, together with the
     Borrower, comprise not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of Consolidated
     Total Assets to be party to the Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that for
     purposes of determining compliance with this requirement, the value of
     Capital Stock of any Subsidiary shall be deemed excluded; provided,
     further, that if any Subsidiary is a Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the
     assets of such Subsidiary to be included in the above calculation shall be
     reduced by the minority interest for such Subsidiary as reported in the
     Borrower's consolidated balance sheet."
