RECITALS



                      WHEREAS, Borrower, certain Credit Parties, Agent and Lenders have entered
into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
April 23, 2002 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from

the Lenders and Agent wish to waive and amend certain provisions of the Credit
Agreement, as more fully set forth herein.

                      The Agent and the Requisite Lenders hereby waive any breach or violation

be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed or otherwise construed

other failure of the Credit Parties to comply with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.

available hereunder to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
based upon their Revolving Loan Commitments, an amount equal to 1
