     DEBTOR."

relinquishment, the Releasing Parties hereby acknowledge that they are aware

<PAGE>

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment and not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such capitalized terms in
the Credit Agreement.

     2. Amendment to Add Definition. The following definition is hereby added to
the Credit Agreement:

          "Related Funds" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 16.3(c)
          hereof.

     3. Revision of Certain Other Provisions. The following provisions of the
Credit Agreement are hereby revised as follows:

          (a) Any instance in Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement in which
"three hundred" is referenced is revised to read "three hundred sixty".

          (b) The second sentence of Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement is
deleted in its entirety.

          (c) The second sentence Section 6.6 of the Credit Agreement is deleted
in its entirety.

          (d) The second sentence of Section 13.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

          "Upon the written request of Borrower made at least 60 days prior to
          the end of the then applicable Term, the Term may be extended for an
          additional period but only with the written consent of all Lenders
          received prior to the end of the then applicable Term."

          (e) Section 16.3(b) of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:

          "Any Lender may, without the consent of the Credit Parties or the
          Guarantors, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
          (each, a "Transferee") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and
          obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender's
          obligations under this Agreement remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
          remains solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
          performance of such obligations and (iii) all parties continue to deal
          solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
          rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement

                                        2

<PAGE>

          or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation to
          a Transferee shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
          right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
          modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Unless
          contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, each Transferee has the
          right to receive the applicable portion of all principal and interest
          payments and such other payments made in connection with the
          participation, provided that a Transferee shall not be entitled to
          receive any greater payment than the applicable Lender would have been
          entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
          Transferee."

          (f) The following additional language is added following the last
sentence of Section 16.3(c) of the Credit Agreement:

          "Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, A3 Funding LP (or
          any Related Fund (as hereinafter defined) which is an assignee of A3
          Funding LP) shall be permitted to assign to one or more Related Funds
          or A3 Funding LP, as the case may be, all or any part of its rights
          and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents without
          the prior written consent of Agent, in minimum amounts of not less
          than $1,000,000; provided, however, that (i) any such assignment that
          does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of
          this Agreement as a sale of a participation in such rights and
          obligations in accordance with Section 16.3(b) and (ii) no such
          assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
          the Related Fund or A3 Funding LP, as the case may be, has executed
          and delivered a Commitment Transfer Supplement to Agent and Agent has
          recorded the assignment in the Register (as defined in Section
          16.3(d)). For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, a "Related Fund"
          shall mean any Person (other than a natural person) that (A) is
          creditworthy, (B) is or will be (upon such assignment being made)
          engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in
          commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
          course of business and (C) is an affiliate of A3 Funding LP or is
          managed or advised with full investment discretion by A3 Funding LP."

this Second Amendment, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent as
