applicable, to each of the other parties as follows:

                  (i)      It is a corporation, limited liability company,
general partnership or limited partnership, duly organized, validly existing and

by it have been duly and validly authorized by its Board of Directors (or
equivalent body), if required, and no other proceedings on its part which have
not been taken (including, without limitation, approval of its stockholders,
partners or members, as applicable) are necessary to authorize this Second
Amendment.

                  (iv)     This Second Amendment has been duly executed and
delivered by it and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or
relating to enforcement of creditors' rights generally and may be subject to
general principles of equity.

                  (v)      The execution, delivery and performance by it of this
Second Amendment will not (A) conflict with, or result in a breach or violation
of, any provision of its organizational documents; (B) constitute, with or

the failure to obtain or give such Consent would not have a material adverse
effect on it or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

                  (vi)     There is no action, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its properties or

hereunder.

         (b)      Each Management Stockholder and Independent Director
represents and warrants, as to himself or herself, to each of the other parties

enforceable against him or her in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and may be subject to general principles of equity.

                  (iii)    The execution, delivery and performance by him or her
of this Second Amendment will not require any Consent not already obtained,
except in each case, where the failure to obtain or give such Consent would not

obligations hereunder.

pending or, to the knowledge of him or her, threatened against him or her or any
of his or her properties or assets that would be reasonably expected to have a
material adverse effect on his or her ability to enter into this Second
Amendment or to fulfill his or her respective obligations hereunder.

         4.       Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Second
Amendment 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 or
affecting the validity or remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         5.       Agreements to Remain in Full Force and Effect. This Second
Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment to the Stockholders' Agreement and
to the First Amendment. All references to the Stockholders' Agreement in any
