that certain First Modification of Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, dated April 21, 2000, and as further amended by that certain Second Modification of Second
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, dated June 30, 2000 (as may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"); and 


    WHEREAS,
the parties to the Credit Agreement wish to further amend and modify the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement); 


    NOW
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 


    1.  Definitions.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed
thereto in the Credit Agreement. 


    2.  Amendments.  The Credit Agreement is hereby modified as follows: 



    (a) The
definition of "Conversion Date" is hereby deleted. 


    (b) The
definition of "Commitment Amount" is hereby deleted, and the following inserted in lieu thereof: 



 "Commitment Amount.  The sum of the commitments for the Loan by the Banks in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000." 




    (d) The
definition of "Existing Senior Indebtedness Repurchase Cost" is hereby deleted. 


    (e) The
definition of "Maximum Revolver Amount" is hereby deleted and the following is inserted in lieu thereof: 



 "Maximum Revolver Amount.  The Maximum Revolver Amount shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base minus Permitted Third Party Letters of
Credit and (ii) the sum of the several Commitments of the Banks as shown on Schedule 1 hereto, such sum not to exceed $50,000,000." 




    (f)  The
definition of "Repurchase Premium" is hereby deleted. 


    (g) The
text of § 2.1 is hereby deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof: 



 "Commitment to Lend and Borrower's Promise to Pay.  The Banks hereby commit to extend credit in the amount of $50,000,000; provided, however, that the Senior
Indebtedness at any one time outstanding (calculated in the manner set forth at §7.5) shall not exceed the 







 



Borrowing Base. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Banks severally agrees to lend to the Borrower and the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time
to time between the Effective Date and the Maturity Date (as defined below), upon notice to the Agent given in accordance with § 2.5 hereof, such amounts as may be requested by the
Borrower; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan (after giving effect to the amounts requested) shall not at any one time exceed an amount equal to
the Maximum Revolver Amount minus the amount of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to §2.9 hereof. The Advances with respect to the Revolving
Credit Loan shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Banks' Commitment Percentage. Each request for Advance hereunder shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the applicable
conditions set forth in §§6 and 7 hereof have been satisfied on the date of such request. On the Maturity Date, the Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate and the
Revolving Credit Loan shall mature and become due and payable, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay on such date all amounts then outstanding hereunder. As used herein, the term "Maturity Date"
shall mean December 31, 2003 or such earlier date on which the Borrower terminates the Banks' Commitments hereunder or on which the maturity thereof is accelerated pursuant to the provisions of
§11.1 hereof." 




    (h) The
text of §2.4(b) is hereby deleted. 


    (i)  The
text of §2.4(c), including the text inserted by that certain Second Modification of Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Loan
Documents, dated June 30, 2000, is hereby deleted. 



    (j)  The
text of §2.5 is amended by deleting the reference to "Kevin Hake" and inserting in lieu thereof the name "Andrew D. Stickney." 


    (k) The
text of §2.10 is hereby deleted. 


    (l)  The
text of §2.11 is hereby deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof: 



 "Repurchase of Existing Senior Indebtedness.  The Borrower agrees and represents that the Existing Senior Indebtedness has been repurchased by the Borrower
("Senior Repurchase"), that no further obligations are owed by the Borrower with respect to the Existing Senior Indebtedness, and that nothing in this §2.11 shall hereafter be construed to
require that the Commitment Amount exceed $50,000,000." 




    (m) Section 11.1
is hereby amended by adding the following text as item (l) thereto: 



"(l)
if there is a Change of Control."

including the amendments thereto pursuant to that certain First Modification of Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Loan Documents,
dated April 21, 2000, is hereby deleted and the Schedule 1 attached hereto is inserted in lieu thereof. 




    3.  Revolving Credit Notes.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower is
executing replacement promissory notes to evidence the extended Maturity Date and the other modifications made hereby, which replacement promissory notes shall constitute Revolving Credit Notes or
Notes under the Credit Agreement. 


    4.  Ratification.  Except as modified hereby, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and Borrower hereby ratifies the terms and conditions thereof.

    5.  No Default or Event of Default.  Borrower reaffirms, as of the date hereof, all of the
representations, warranties, and indemnities contained in the Loan Documents. Borrower further warrants and represents, as of the date hereof, the following: 



    a)  The
Loan Documents are binding and enforceable. 


    b)  There
does not exist a Default, Event of Default, or event or circumstance that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a Default or Event of
Default under any of the Loan Documents. 


    c)  Borrower
has no claim, defense, rights to setoff, or counterclaim against the indebtedness evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents or against the Agent or
the Banks. 




    6.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower,
Agent, the Banks, and their respective successors and assigns. 


    7.  Cross Reference.  All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall hereafter
include the modifications to the Credit Agreement set forth herein. 


    8.  Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
