other Loan Documents are in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and
counsel for the Agent, and the Agent has received all such other counterpart
originals or certified or other copies of such documents and proceedings in
connection with such transactions, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent and its counsel, as the Agent or its counsel may reasonably request.


 


4.                                       Representations

threatened against any of the Loan Parties that could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Change.


 


5.                                       Miscellaneous.


 


(a)                                  Full Force and
Effect.  All provisions of the Credit
Agreement remain in full force and effect on and after the First Amendment
Effective Date and the date hereof except as expressly amended hereby.  The parties do not amend any provisions of
the Credit Agreement except as expressly amended hereby.


 


(b)                                 Counterparts.  This First Amendment may be signed in
counterparts (by facsimile transmission or otherwise) but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 


(c)                                  Incorporation

warranties, Events of Default and covenants set forth herein shall be a part of
the Credit Agreement as if originally contained therein.


 


(d)                                 Governing Law.  This First Amendment shall be deemed to be a
contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all
purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its
conflict of laws principles.


 


4

















 


(e)                                  No Novation.  Except as amended hereby, all of the terms
and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
remain in full force and effect.  The
Borrower, the other Loan Parties, each Lender, and the Agent acknowledge and
agree that this First Amendment is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute,
a novation, interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge or
termination of the obligations, loans, liabilities, or indebtedness under the
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
