                  2.2 DEFINITIONS - COMMITMENT. The definition of Commitment in
SECTION 1.01 is amended to read as follows:

                           "COMMITMENT" means, with respect to each Lender, the
                           commitment of such Lender to make Loans hereunder,
                           expressed in dollars, as such commitment may be (a)
                           reduced from time to time pursuant to SECTION 2.06
                           and (b) reduced or increased from time to time

                           Commitment, as applicable. The aggregate amount of
                           the Lenders' Commitments as of the date of Amendment
                           No. 1 is $40,000,000.

                  2.3 AMENDMENTS. CLAUSE (vii) is added to SECTION 9.02(b),
which shall read as follows:

                           (vii) amend the provisions of SECTION 9.04(h) except
                           as provided therein;

                  2.4 SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLES. SUBPARAGRAPH (h) is added to
SECTION 9.04, which shall read as follows:

                           "(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                           contained herein, any Lender (a "GRANTING LENDER")
                           may grant to special purpose funding vehicles (each
                           an "SPC") of such Granting Lender, identified as such
                           in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender
                           to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the
                           option to provide all or any part of any Loan that
                           such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to
                           make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i)
                           nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
                           SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to
                           exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide
                           all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender
                           shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the
                           terms hereof, and (iii) except as expressly set forth
                           herein, the rights of any such SPC shall be
                           derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and
                           each SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions
                           upon the Granting Lender herein contained. Each SPC
                           shall be conclusively presumed to have made
                           arrangements with its Granting Lender for the
                           exercise by the Granting Lender of voting and other
                           rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to
                           the SPC, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
                           and the Borrower and each other party shall be
                           entitled to rely upon and deal solely

                           with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made
                           by or through its SPC and with respect to all other
                           matters related to this Agreement. The making of a
                           Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment
                           of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
                           such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each
                           party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
                           liable for any indemnity or similar payment
                           obligation under this Agreement (all liability for
                           which shall remain with the related Granting Lender).
                           In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
                           hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
                           termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
                           date that is one year and one day after the payment
                           in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
                           senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute
                           against, or join any other person in instituting
                           against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization,
                           arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or
                           similar proceedings under the laws of the United
                           States of America or any state thereof. In addition,
                           notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this SECTION 9.04, each SPC may, at any time, without
                           regard to the requirements of SECTION 9.04(b), (i)
                           with notice to, but without the prior written consent
                           of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and
                           without paying any processing fee therefor, assign
                           all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its
                           Granting Lender (or to any other SPC of such Granting
                           Lender) or to any financial institutions (consented
                           to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)
                           providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for
                           the account of such SPC to support the funding or
                           maintenance of Loans made by such SPC (but nothing
                           contained herein shall be construed in derogation of
                           the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans),
                           and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
                           non-public information relating to its Loans to any
                           rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of
                           any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
                           enhancement to such SPC. This SECTION 9.04(h) may not
                           be amended without the written consent of all SPC's
                           then designated to the Administrative Agent in
                           accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
                           Section."

         3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Lenders that:

                  3.1 CORPORATE POWER AND AUTHORITY: NO CONFLICTS. The

judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having
applicability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (d)
result in a breach of or constitute a default or require any consent that has

creation or imposition of any Lien, upon or with respect to any of the
properties now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;
or (f) cause the Borrower (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be),
to be in default under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement,
lease or instrument.

                  3.2 LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT. This Amendment, and the
Credit Agreement as amended hereby, are the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their
respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement might be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally.

                  3.3 NO DEFAULT. On and as of the date of this Amendment, and
after giving effect to this Amendment, no event has occurred and is continuing

of this Amendment as if fully set forth herein and made on and as of the date of
this Amendment. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to Credit Suisse First
Boston its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000,
reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period in accordance with GAAP.

                  3.5 MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Since December 31, 1999, there
has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise),
business, operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole.

have each received counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, and all of the Lenders.

certified copies of the resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower,
in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment.

         5. CREDIT SUISSE/OUTSTANDING BORROWINGS. Upon this Amendment becoming
effective, Credit Suisse First Boston shall become a Lender and shall have all
of the rights, duties and obligations of a Lender, and it shall make such Loans

immediately prior to the execution of this Amendment are held by all Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, after giving effect to
this Amendment.

         6. CHASE'S EXPENSES. Borrower agrees to pay The Chase Manhattan Bank
("CHASE") for all costs, expenses and charges (including, without limitation,
fees and charges of external legal counsel for Chase and costs allocated by its

preparation and execution of this Amendment and other documents executed in
connection herewith.

and notices simultaneously herewith or hereafter executed under or pursuant to
the Credit Agreement, to the "Credit Agreement", "this Agreement", "hereof",

                  2.2 DEFINITIONS - COMMITMENT. The definition of Commitment in
SECTION 1.01 is amended to read as follows:

                           "COMMITMENT" means, with respect to each Lender, the
                           commitment of such Lender to make Loans hereunder,
                           expressed in dollars, as such commitment may be (a)
                           reduced from time to time pursuant to SECTION 2.06
                           and (b) reduced or increased from time to time

                           Commitment, as applicable. The aggregate amount of
                           the Lenders' Commitments as of the date of Amendment
                           No. 1 is $20,000,000.

                  2.3 AMENDMENTS. CLAUSE (vii) is added to SECTION 9.02(b),
which shall read as follows:

                           (vii) amend the provisions of SECTION 9.04(h) except
                           as provided therein;

                  2.4 SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLES. SUBPARAGRAPH (h) is added to
SECTION 9.04, which shall read as follows:

                           "(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                           contained herein, any Lender (a "GRANTING LENDER")
                           may grant to special purpose funding vehicles (each
                           an "SPC") of such Granting Lender, identified as such
                           in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender
                           to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the
                           option to provide all or any part of any Loan that
                           such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to
                           make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i)
                           nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
                           SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to
                           exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide
                           all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender
                           shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the
                           terms hereof, and (iii) except as expressly set forth
                           herein, the rights of any such SPC shall be
                           derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and
                           each SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions
                           upon the Granting Lender herein contained. Each SPC
                           shall be conclusively presumed to have made
                           arrangements with its Granting Lender for the
                           exercise by the Granting Lender of voting and other
                           rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to
                           the SPC, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
                           and the Borrower and each other party shall be
                           entitled to rely upon and deal solely

                           with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made
                           by or through its SPC and with respect to all other
                           matters related to this Agreement. The making of a
                           Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment
                           of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
                           such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each
                           party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
                           liable for any indemnity or similar payment
                           obligation under this Agreement (all liability for
                           which shall remain with the related Granting Lender).
                           In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
                           hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
                           termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
                           date that is one year and one day after the payment
                           in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
                           senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute
                           against, or join any other person in instituting
                           against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization,
                           arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or
                           similar proceedings under the laws of the United
                           States of America or any state thereof. In addition,
                           notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this SECTION 9.04, each SPC may, at any time, without
                           regard to the requirements of SECTION 9.04(b), (i)
                           with notice to, but without the prior written consent
                           of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and
                           without paying any processing fee therefor, assign
                           all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its
                           Granting Lender (or to any other SPC of such Granting
                           Lender) or to any financial institutions (consented
                           to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)
                           providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for
                           the account of such SPC to support the funding or
                           maintenance of Loans made by such SPC (but nothing
                           contained herein shall be construed in derogation of
                           the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans),
                           and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
                           non-public information relating to its Loans to any
                           rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of
                           any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
                           enhancement to such SPC. This SECTION 9.04(h) may not
                           be amended without the written consent of all SPC's
                           then designated to the Administrative Agent in
                           accordance with the foregoing provisions of this

warrants to the Lenders that:

                  3.1 CORPORATE POWER AND AUTHORITY: NO CONFLICTS. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not: (a)

obtained; (b) contravene its charter or by-laws, as amended to date; (c) violate
any provision of, or require any filing,

registration, consent or approval under, any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having
applicability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (d)
result in a breach of or constitute a default or require any consent that has

agreement, lease or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it
or its properties may be bound or affected; (e) result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien, upon or with respect to any of the
properties now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

to be in default under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement,
lease or instrument.

                  3.2 LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT. This Amendment, and the
Credit Agreement as amended hereby, are the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their
respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement might be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally.

                  3.3 NO DEFAULT. On and as of the date of this Amendment, and
after giving effect to this Amendment, no event has occurred and is continuing
which constitutes a Default or Event of Default.

                  3.4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
warranties contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct as of the date
of this Amendment as if fully set forth herein and made on and as of the date of
this Amendment. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to Credit Suisse First
Boston its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000,
reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period in accordance with GAAP.

business, operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole.
