Agreement and shall thereafter be deemed removed as a party to any of the other
Loan Documents; and (c) the Obligations of the remaining Borrowers under the
Credit Agreement, and their corresponding obligations under the other Loan
Documents, shall continue in full force and effect, and shall remain binding
upon the remaining Borrowers notwithstanding the release of ESP.

         5.       Consent Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of itself and the Lenders, a fee of $________ (the "Consent Fee") due

and Lenders when paid and shall not be subject to refund or rebate.

         6.       Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Borrowers. To
induce Agents and Lenders to enter into this Amendment:

         (a)      Each Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants to
Agents and Lenders that,

                  (i)      as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to
         the terms hereof, there exists no Event of Default under the Credit
         Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,

                  (ii)     each representation and warranty made or deemed to
         be made in this Amendment and in the Loan Documents is true and
         correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this
         Amendment (except to the extent that any such representation or
         warranty relates to a prior specific date or period) and Borrowers
         hereby reaffirm each of the agreements, covenants and undertakings set
         forth in the Loan Documents and in each and every other agreement,
         instrument and other document executed in connection therewith or
         pursuant thereto as if Borrowers were making said agreements,
         covenants and undertakings on the date hereof,

                                       4
<PAGE>
                  (iii)    each Borrower has the power and is duly authorized
         to enter into, deliver and perform this Amendment and

                  (iv)     this Amendment and each of the Loan Documents is the
         legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower enforceable
         against it in accordance with its terms.

         (b)      Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no right of
offset, defense (other than to the extent of prior payment or performance of
any Obligations), counterclaim, claim, causes of action or objection in favor
of any Borrower against either Agent or any Lender presently exists by reason
of any act, event, omission, manner, cause or things occurring on or prior to
the date of this Amendment arising out of or with respect to, (i) the Credit
Agreement, as hereby amended, or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) any
other documents now or heretofore evidencing, securing or in any way relating
to the foregoing, or (iii) the administration or funding of any of the Loans,
the Obligations or any Letter of Credit.

         (c)      Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrowers shall
fail to perform in a timely manner any covenants, agreements or obligations of
the Borrowers contained in this Amendment or any of the Loan Documents,
Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform such covenants,
agreements or obligations at the cost and expense of the Borrowers; provided,
however, that the performance of such covenants by Collateral Agent shall not
be deemed to have waived or cured any default of Borrowers with respect to the
performance of such covenants, agreements or obligations. The Borrowers agree
to pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Collateral Agent and its
representatives in connection with the foregoing, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel to
the Agent. The Borrowers authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to charge
the Collateral Account for such costs and expenses as Revolving Loans.

         (d)      Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the consents
contained in paragraph 2 of this Amendment (i) are not intended, and should not
be construed, as an amendment of, the Credit Agreement, but instead constitutes
a waiver of certain provisions of the Credit Agreement which would otherwise
have prohibited the Sale (such waiver includes, without limitation, the Change
in Control and any other Event of Default which would result from the Sale),
and (ii) shall not represent a consent or waiver related to any future actions
of any Borrower or Seller, including, without limitation, any future sale of
assets. Further, each of the Lenders reserves all of its rights pursuant to the
Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents.

         (e)      Each Borrower acknowledges and aggress that Lenders'
agreement to consent to the specific matters herein addressed, does not and
shall not create (nor shall Seller nor any Borrower rely upon the existence of
or claim or assert that there exists) any obligation of Lenders or the
Requisite Lenders to consider or agree to any further consents and, in the
event that any Lender subsequently agrees to consider any further consents,
neither this consent nor any other conduct of any Lender shall be of any force
or effect on such Lender's consideration or decision with respect to any such
requested consent, and such Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever to
consider or agree to further consents.

                                       5
<PAGE>
         7.       Further Assurances. Borrowers agree to take such further
action as Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in connection herewith to
evidence the agreement herein contained.

         8.       Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

         9.       Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of, and the decisions of the courts in,
the State of New York.
