     SECTION 1. Amendments. The Receivables Financing Agreement is hereby amended as

     SECTION 2. Receivables Financing Agreement in Full Force and Effect as Amended.



     Except as specifically amended hereby, the Receivables Financing Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect. All references to the Receivables Financing Agreement shall be deemed to
mean the Receivables Financing Agreement as modified hereby. This Amendment shall not constitute a
novation of the Receivables Financing Agreement, but shall constitute an amendment thereof. The

          A. On and as of the date hereof, the Borrower hereby confirms, reaffirms and restates the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 of the Receivables Financing Agreement

expressly relate to a specific earlier date in which case the Borrower hereby confirms, reaffirms
and restates such representations and warranties as of such earlier date.




          B. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties
hereto on the same or separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed to be an original instrument but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the condition precedent that the
Administrator shall have received counterparts of this Amendment, duly executed by all parties
hereto.




          C. The descriptive headings of the various sections of this Amendment are inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any

Receivables Financing Agreement.




          E. Each of the Administrator and the Lender do not waive and have not waived, and hereby
expressly reserve, its right at any time to take any and all actions, and to exercise any and all
remedies, authorized or permitted under the Receivables Financing Agreement, as amended, or any of
the other Transaction Documents, or available at law or equity or otherwise.




          F. The Borrower agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrator for all its reasonable costs and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of this Amendment,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrator.




          G. Any provision in this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.




          H. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE CONFLICTS OF LAW
PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN THOSE SET FORTH IN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE
