                  'Sixth Amendment to the First Credit Agreement' shall have the
            meaning provided in the New Credit Agreement."

            2. The Temporary Amendment is hereby amended by deleting the phrase
"the date occurring 364 days after the Effective Date under, and as defined in,
the New Credit Agreement as in effect on the date on which the New Credit
Agreement is originally executed" in each place it appears and inserting in lieu

deemed to be a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other term, condition
or provision of the Credit

Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements

            5. In order to induce the Compliance Agent, the Administrative

Banks to enter into this Amendment, each of Newco, Holdings, NWA and the
Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (x) no Default or Event of Default

Amendment and (y) all of the representations and warranties contained in the
Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on the
Effective Date both before and after giving effect to this Amendment with the
same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and
as of the Effective Date (it being understood that any representation or
warranty made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of such specific date).

            6. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first
written above (the "Effective Date") when each of Newco, Holdings, NWA, the
Borrower and the Required Banks shall have duly executed a counterpart hereof
(whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including
by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the Administrative Agent at its
Notice Office.

            7. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of
counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and each Agent.

            8. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

            9. From and after the Effective Date all references in the Credit
Agreement and each of the Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement or any Credit
Document shall be deemed to be references to such Credit Agreement or such
Credit Document as amended hereby.
