Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a)  The
Administrative Agent or the Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot
Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent
amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative
Currencies.  Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such

Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as
otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than
Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent
amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuer, as
applicable.
  8
  (b)  Wherever
in this Agreement in connection with a Committed Borrowing an amount, such as a
required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Committed
Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the
relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the
nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded
upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent.”
  “SECTION
1.06 Change of
Currency. (a)  Each
obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national
currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as
its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at
the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU
Legislation).  If, in relation to the currency of any such member
state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect
of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the
London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the
Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with
effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful
currency; provided that if any
Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding
immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect
to such Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest
Period.
  (b)  Each
provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be
appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the
European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the
Euro.
  (c)  Each
provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be
appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any
relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in
currency.”
  “SECTION
1.07 Letter of Credit
Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a
Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the
stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with
respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document
related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated
amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the
Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after
giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount
is in effect at such time.”
  “SECTION
4.02(c) – In the case of a Borrowing or a Letter of Credit to be denominated in
an Alternative Currency, there shall not have occurred any change in national or
international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange
rates or exchange controls which in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative
Agent, the Required Lenders (in the case of any Loans to be denominated in an
Alternative Currency) or the Issuer (in the case of any Letter of Credit to be
denominated in an Alternative Currency) would make it impracticable for such
Borrowing or a Letter of Credit to be denominated in the relevant Alternative
Currency.”

consideration for the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, upon the execution and delivery of this
Amendment by the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a
renewal fee equal to $45,000.00 to be distributed to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent on a pro-rata basis based upon the respective Revolving

Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows:
 
 (i) The execution, delivery and
performance of this Amendment has been authorized by all necessary corporate
action on behalf of the Borrower and when executed and delivered, this Amendment
will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,

generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
 
 (ii) No event has occurred which by
itself or with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would
constitute an Event of Default.
 
 All representations and warranties set
forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement are hereby restated and confirmed
as of the date hereof.
 
 10.           As
modified hereby, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Credit
Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed.  In particular, Borrower
acknowledges its continuing obligations under Section 5.09 of Article V of the
Credit Agreement entitled “Additional
Guarantors” which to reads as follows:
 
 “The
Borrower will give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the
formation of any new Subsidiary.  With respect to all Domestic

to the Administrative Agent and a resolution of the Board of Directors of such
Subsidiary authorizing such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent its unconditional written guarantee of the Loans and all
related obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and further authorizing such
Subsidiary to be bound by and comply with all of the terms and provisions of the
Credit Agreement to the same extent as the
Guarantors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Borrower and all existing Guarantors do not comprise 85% of each of (i) total
consolidated sales, (ii) total consolidated assets and (iii) total consolidated
EBIT, for the Borrower and all Subsidiaries, then within ten (10) days’ thereof,
the Borrower shall deliver either (i) a Guaranty from each non-Domestic
Subsidiary as set forth above or (ii) a valid and enforceable and perfected
pledge of sixty five percent (65%) of the common stock of each non-Domestic

constitute an original but when taken together shall constitute but one
instrument.
  11

caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the
day and year first above written.
