percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at

certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

principal amount of Notes, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

6.4 and 11.8 to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated as of the
Amendment Effective Date to read as set forth as Schedules 6.4 and 11.8 attached
hereto.

                  10.      Consent. Agent and Lenders hereby consent, as of the
Amendment Effective Date, to Borrower consummating the IPO and entering into the
IPO Transactions. Agent and Lenders hereby consent and confirm that the IPO and

                  11.      Representations and Warranties. To induce Lenders and
Agent to enter into this Amendment, Borrower hereby represents and warrants
that:

         (a)               Each of the execution, delivery and performance by
                  Borrower of this Amendment and the performance of the Credit
                  Agreement, as amended hereby (the "Amended Credit Agreement")
                  are within Borrower's corporate power and have been duly
                  authorized by all necessary corporate and shareholder action.

         (b)               This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered
                  by or on behalf of Borrower.

         (c)               Each of this Amendment and the Amended Credit
                  Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
                  Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its
                  terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
                  bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
                  laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general
                  equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
                  proceedings in equity or at law).

         (d)               No Default has occurred and is continuing both before
                  and after giving effect to this Amendment.

         (e)               All representations and warranties of the Loan
                  Parties contained in the Credit Agreement and other Loan
                  Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof with the
                  same effect as though such representations and warranties had
                  been made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent
                  that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to
                  an earlier date.

                  12.      Schedule 3.9. On or before 25 days following the date
on which Borrower commences its initial public offering of its common stock
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Schedule 3.9 Delivery Date"),
Borrower will deliver to Agent an updated Schedule 3.9 to the Credit Agreement.

                  13.      Use of Proceeds. Upon the completion of the IPO,
Borrower shall cause the next portion of the proceeds of the IPO (after all fees
and expenses of the IPO)

paid to Borrower (the "IPO Proceeds") to be deposited into its Concentration
Account and be initially applied against any amounts outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Loan. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the
contrary, this application of the IPO Proceeds shall not be considered a
permanent reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

                  14.      No Other Amendments, Consents. Except as expressly
amended herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
unmodified and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with
their terms. In addition, except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment
shall not be deemed a consent to or waiver of any term or condition of any Loan
Document and shall not be deemed to prejudice any right or rights which Agent or
any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with
any Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein,
as the same may be amended from time to time.

                  15.      Outstanding Indebtedness; Waiver of Claims. Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of September 11, 2002 the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan is $93,000,098.20 and
that such principal amount is payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement without
offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. Borrower hereby
waives, releases, remises and forever discharges Agent, Lenders and each other
Indemnified Person from any and all Claims of any kind or character, known or
unknown, which Borrower ever had, now has or might hereafter have against Agent
or any Lender which relates, directly or indirectly, to any acts or omissions of
Agent or such Lender or any other Indemnified Person on or prior to the
Amendment Effective Date.

                  16.      Expenses. Borrower hereby reconfirms its obligations
pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement to pay and reimburse Agent for
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution and delivery of this Amendment and all other documents and instruments
delivered in connection herewith.

                  17.      Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective
