     SECTION 2. AMENDMENT. In reliance on the representations and warranties set
forth in this Amendment and Consent and subject to satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Borrowers and, pursuant to Section
14.1 ("Waiver; Amendments") of the Credit Agreement, the Required Lenders hereby
agree to amend and restate the first sentence of Section 14.9.1 ("Assignments")
of the Credit Agreement, excluding subparagraphs (x), (y) and (z) thereof, to
read in its entirety as follows: "No Borrower shall be permitted to assign any
or all of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document
without the prior written consent of each Lender (except as otherwise expressly
provided in a Loan Document). Any Lender may, with the prior written consents of
the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (which consents shall not be
unreasonably delayed or withheld and, in any event, shall not be required for an
assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates), at any time assign and
delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (any Person to whom such an
assignment and delegation is to be made being herein called an "Assignee") (x)
all or any fraction of such Lender's Loans and Commitment (which assignment and
delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the
assigning Lender's Loans and Commitment) in a minimum aggregate amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the amount of the assigning Lender's Revolving Loan Percentage
of the Revolving Commitment Amount plus the unpaid amount of such Lender's Term
Loans and Special Loan and (ii) $5,000,000 or (y) all but not less than all of
such Lender's Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B Term Loan or Special Loans;
provided that (a) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at
the time of such assignment and delegation, the Borrowers would be obligated to
pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 or Section 8 to the Assignee or the
Administrative Agent than the Borrowers are then obligated to pay to the
assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation
of the foregoing, the Borrowers will not be required to pay the incremental
amounts), (b) no assignment of all or any part of a Special Loan shall be
permitted unless there shall occur simultaneously with such assignment of such
Special Loan an assignment of a ratable portion of the assigning Lender's Lender
Preferred to the Assignee, (c) no assignment shall be made of all of a Lender's
Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B Term Loan or Special Loan pursuant to part (y)
above to more than one Assignee unless, after giving effect thereto, each such
assignee shall hold at least $5,000,000 of such Term or Special Loan, as the
case may be, and (d) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when
all of the following conditions shall have been met:"

     SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to induce the Agents
and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment and Consent, the Borrowers, jointly
and severally, represent and warrant (which representations and warranties shall
survive the execution and delivery hereof) to the Agents and the Lenders that:

          (a)  the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as
of the Effective Date (as such term is defined in Section 5 herein) with the
same effect as if made on and as of the Effective Date (except to the extent
relating solely to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct as
of such earlier date);

          (b)  no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or will
exist after giving effect to this Amendment and Consent;

          (c)  the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of this Amendment and
Consent and the performance by the Borrowers of their obligations under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (i) are within the corporate or
limited liability company, as applicable, powers of each Borrower, (ii) have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company
action, as applicable, (iii) have received all necessary approvals from all
governmental authorities having jurisdiction over any Borrower and (iv) do not
and will not conflict with any provision of any law, rule, regulation,
requirement, administrative order, decree or agreement that is binding on the
Company or any

                                       2

of its Subsidiaries or with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or

and unconditional, and there exists no right of setoff or recoupment,
counterclaim or defense of any nature whatsoever to payment of such obligations.

     SECTION 4. LIMITED AMENDMENT AND CONSENT. This Amendment and Consent shall
be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (i) to be an amendment
of or a consent granted to any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement,
any Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to in such
documents or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement, whether or not known to any of the Agents or the Lenders, or (ii) to

Borrowers upon the occurrence of the Effective Date. Except as provided in

reasonable efforts to cause unaffiliated third parties to execute and deliver,

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, encumbering such of the deposit
accounts set forth on Schedule 9.25 ("Domestic Deposit Accounts") to the Credit
Agreement as the Administrative Agent shall in its discretion determine. This
Section 6 shall supersede in its entirety Section 6(i) of the Second Amendment
and Waiver dated as of July 23, 2001 with respect to the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS.

     7.1 Continuing Effectiveness, etc. The Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall remain in full force and effect after giving effect to this
Amendment and Consent and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
After the Effective Date, all references to the "Credit Agreement" or similar
terms in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, each other Loan Document and any
similar document shall refer to the Credit Agreement as hereby amended and as
previously amended, modified or supplemented. This Amendment and Consent shall
constitute a Loan Document as defined in the Credit Agreement, and the
provisions of this Amendment and Consent may be amended, modified or
supplemented, or any provision thereof waived, only in accordance with and
subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.1 of the Credit
Agreement, the provisions of Section 2 of this Amendment and Consent may only be
amended, modified or supplemented, or any provision thereof waived, with the
consent of all of the Required Lenders.

     7.2 Further Assurances. Each of the Loan Parties expressly acknowledges and
agrees (i) to enter into such other or further documents, and to take such other

Administrative Agent, desirable to perfect, preserve or protect the liens and
security interests created under the Loan Documents and (ii) to grant liens on
such other or further property or assets of the Loan Parties not currently
encumbered to secure all obligations of the Loan Parties as the Administrative
Agent may require; provided that no Loan Party shall have any obligation to
grant liens on any such other or further property to the extent that such Loan
Party can demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative
Agent, that the granting of such lien would have a material and adverse tax
consequence to the Loan Parties.

counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same Amendment and Consent. Delivery of an

against the party causing this Amendment and Consent or any part hereof to be

understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the

representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made
by any party to any other party with respect to the subject matter of this
Amendment and Consent. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment and
Consent may be changed, modified, waived or cancelled, orally or otherwise,
except as provided in the Credit Agreement.

     7.9 Enforceability. Should any one or more of the provisions of this
Amendment and Consent be determined to be illegal or unenforceable as to one or
more of the parties hereto, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain
effective and binding on the parties hereto.

     7.10 Invalidity; Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Amendment and Consent shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Any provision of this
Amendment and Consent that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
