Amendments to Credit Agreement.
-------------------------------

          1. On, or within five Business Days after the occurrence of, the
Second Amendment Execution Date (as hereinafter defined) (subject to the receipt
of a Borrowing Request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and substantially in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement, and subject to a notice of prepayment of
the Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans in accordance with the relevant requirements
of Section 2.12(a) of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the relevant
conditions specified in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement and the occurrence
of the Second Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined)), each Lender
with a Tranche I Term Loan Commitment as shown on Schedule 2.01 to this Second
Amendment hereby agrees to make a Tranche I Term Loan in the respective









                                       1
<PAGE>


principal amount set forth opposite its name under the heading "Tranche I Term
Loan Commitment" on Schedule 2.01 to this Second Amendment, in each case in
accordance with the relevant requirements of the Credit Agreement except that
(i) the date of the making of the Tranche I Term Loans described in this
paragraph, other than those Tranche I Term Loans being converted into
Replacement Tranche I Term Loans, shall be as set forth above and (ii) each
Lender with a Tranche I Term Loan Commitment as set forth in Schedule 2.01 to
this Second Amendment shall make the respective Tranche I Term Loan available
(through the Administrative Agent) in cash, except that each Lender with a
Tranche I Term Loan Commitment as shown on Schedule 2.01 to this Second
Amendment with existing Tranche I Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to
the occurrence of the Second Amendment Effective Date shall convert its
theretofore outstanding Tranche I Term Loans (in a principal amount up to, but
not in excess of, the Tranche I Term Loan of such Lender as specified in
Schedule 2.01 hereto) into Replacement Tranche I Term Loans hereunder without
any requirement that it make cash proceeds available to the Borrower (except to
the extent that the Tranche I Term Loan Commitment of such Lender as specified
on Schedule 2.01 hereto exceeds the principal amount of its therefore
outstanding Tranche I Term Loans). The Borrower shall direct the Administrative
Agent to apply (and the Administrative Agent shall apply) all cash proceeds of
Replacement Tranche I Term Loans made hereunder to refinance then outstanding
Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement (before giving
effect to the Second Amendment) other than those Tranche I Term Loans being
converted into Replacement Tranche I Term Loans. It is understood that the
Replacement Tranche I Term Loans being made pursuant to this Second Amendment
(whether by conversion or the making of cash proceeds available to the Borrower
to refinance Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans) shall constitute Replacement Term
Loans pursuant to Section 9.08(c) of the Credit Agreement and the Tranche I Term
Loans being refinanced or converted shall constitute Refinanced Term Loans as
described therein. It is understood and agreed by all parties hereto that the
aggregate principal amount of Tranche I Term Loans outstanding after giving
effect to the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be equal to the aggregate
amount of Tranche I Term Loans which were outstanding immediately prior to
giving effect thereto. Any Lender holding outstanding Tranche I Term Loans
immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, that does not (in its
sole discretion) provide a Tranche I Term Loan Commitment pursuant hereto, shall
have its outstanding Tranche I Term Loans repaid in full on the Second Amendment
Effective Date (if same occurs). On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the
aggregate amount of Replacement Tranche I Term Loans (including those made by
conversion or the making of cash proceeds available to the Borrower) shall be
comprised of the same number of Borrowings as were applicable to the outstanding
Refinanced Tranche I Term Loan immediately prior to the Second Amendment
Effective Date, which Borrowings shall be of the same Types and in the same
amounts as the Borrowings theretofore applicable to the Refinanced Tranche I
Term Loans, and in the case of any such Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans shall
have the same Interest Period (i.e. continuing to the date of the expiration
Interest Period theretofore applicable to the corresponding Borrowing of
Refinanced Tranche I Term Loan) and the same Adjusted LIBO Rate (although, from
and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the LIBOR Margins and ABR Margins
applicable thereto shall be determined in accordance with Schedule A to the
Credit Agreement, as amended pursuant to following paragraph numbered 4)
applicable thereto on the Second Amendment Effective Date. Each Lender with
Replacement Tranche I Term Loans shall participate on a pro rata basis in each
outstanding Borrowing of Replacement Tranche I Term Loans as described in the
immediately preceding sentence. In connection with the incurrence of the
Replacement Tranche I Term Loans and the repayment of Refinanced Tranche I Term
Loans in accordance with this Second Amendment, the Borrower hereby agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, (i)
if requested by any Lender making cash proceeds available to the Borrower
pursuant to the Replacement Tranche I Term Loans (but not with respect to that
portion of the Replacement Tranche I Term Loans of any Lender constituting a
conversion of Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans of such Lender), the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such amounts necessary, as reasonably determined by
such Lender, to compensate such Lender for making such Replacement Tranche I
Term Loans in the middle of an existing Interest Period (rather than at the
beginning of the respective Interest Period, based upon the rates then
applicable thereto) and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to each
Lender whose Tranche I Term Loans are being repaid in cash (rather than
converted into Replacement Tranche I Term Loans on the Second Amendment
Effective Date) amounts of the type referred to in Section 2.15 of the Credit
Agreement in connection with its repayment in cash (but not by way of conversion
of Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans into Replacement Tranche I Term Loans as
contemplated above) of such Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans of such Lender.
incurred in connection with the conversion of Refinanced Tranche I Term Loans
and/or the actions taken pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section I.1.

          2. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the
amounts of the remaining scheduled prepayments of principal of the Tranche I
Term Loans after giving effect to this Second Amendment shall remain unchanged
from the schedule set forth in Section 2.11(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement,

2003 have already been repaid in full. The schedule of remaining repayments, as
