2.             Conditions
to Effectiveness of this Amendment.  Notwithstanding

Amendment from the Borrower, each of the other Borrower Parties and the
Majority Lenders;

(b)           a fully executed amendment (the “Subdebt

and delivered for the benefit of or on behalf of each Borrower Party and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower Party,
enforceable against such Borrower Party in accordance with its terms except as
the enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditor’s rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

all terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan
Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect.  The
execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as
