each of the Lenders that (i) all representations and warranties contained in the
Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all

giving effect to this Fourth Amendment (unless such representations and
warranties relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations
and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date) and (ii) there
exists no Default or Event of Default on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date
after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment.

          2.   This Fourth Amendment is limited as specified and shall not

Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

          3.   This Fourth Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all
of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set
of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          4.   THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW

Required Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or
different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including, without limitation,
by usage of facsimile transmission) same to the Administrative Agent at its
office located at 31 West 52nd Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York. This
Fourth Amendment and the agreements contained herein shall be binding on the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

amended, modified or supplemented hereby.

          7.   The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the
Fourth Amendment Effective Date occurs, it shall pay to each Lender which
executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent (or its designee) a
counterpart hereof by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on December 14, 2001, a
