     "(a) Subject to the requirements of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the
     Borrower may at any time after the first anniversary of the First Amendment
     Effective Date and from time to time thereafter prepay the Loans, in whole
     or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered
     to the Administrative Agent, no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
     three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no
     later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto,
     in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and
     amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of a specific Type of
     Loan and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each;
     provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the
     last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also
     pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16. Upon receipt of any such
     notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.
     If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be
     due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued
     interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be
     in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

     (b) Each optional prepayment of the Loans shall be accompanied by a
     prepayment fee equal to (i) during the period from the first anniversary of
     the First Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the second anniversary
     of the First Amendment Effective Date, 2.0% of the aggregate principal
     amount of such prepayment and (ii) during the period from the second
     anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the
     third anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, 1.0% of the
     aggregate principal amount of such prepayment."

     C. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. Section
5.8(i) of the Credit Agreement is amended to delete the reference to
"$400,000,000" set forth therein and insert the reference to "$325,000,000" in
place thereof.

     3. Additional Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in
reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each lender
listed on Schedule I hereto (each, an "Additional Lender", and collectively, the
"Additional Lenders") severally agrees to make available to the Borrower on the
First Amendment Effective Date a term loan in Dollars in an amount set forth
opposite such Additional Lender's name on Schedule I hereto under the caption
"Additional Loans" (the "Additional Loans"). On the First Amendment Effective
Date (i) the Existing Loans and the Additional Loans shall be combined and
consolidated into a single class of term loans and such class shall be the Loans
for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including

shall be a Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After
giving effect to the Additional Loans, the aggregate outstanding principal

with the consent of the Parent and the Administrative Agent (which consent, in
each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) by executing and delivering to
the Parent and the Administrative Agent a supplement to the Credit Agreement in
substantially the form of this Supplement; and

          WHEREAS, the undersigned now desires to become a party to the Credit

     based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
     time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
     action under the Credit Agreement or any instrument or document furnished
     pursuant hereto or thereto; (d) appoints and authorizes the Administrative
     Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such

     Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
     incidental thereto; (e) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of
     the Credit Agreement and will perform in accordance with its terms all the
     obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be
     performed by it as a Lender including, without limitation, if it is
     organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, its
     obligation pursuant to Section 2.15(d) of the Credit Agreement; and (f)
