to comply with Section  101(b)(4) of the Pension  Funding Equity Act of 2004, as
follows:

1.   Section 11.2, entitled "Maximum Annual Benefit", is amended effective April
1, 2004 by adding new Section 11.2(e) to read as follows:

     "(E)  ADJUSTMENT  FOR CERTAIN OTHER FORMS OF BENEFIT.  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY
           ----------------------------------------------
OTHER  PROVISION IN THE PLAN, IF THE ANNUAL BENEFIT IS PAYABLE UNDER THE PLAN IN
A FORM  OTHER THAN A SINGLE  LIFE  ANNUITY  (WITH NO  ANCILLARY  BENEFITS),  THE
APPLICATION  OF THE LIMITS IN SECTION  11.2(A)  SHALL BE MADE BY  ADJUSTING  THE
BENEFIT SO THAT IT IS THE  EQUIVALENT OF A SINGLE LIFE ANNUITY  (WITH  ANCILLARY
BENEFITS)  AS  PROVIDED  IN CODE  SECTION  415(B)(2)(A).  WITHOUT  LIMITING  THE
GENERALITY OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, IN THE CASE OF A BENEFIT PAYABLE IN A FORM
SUBJECT TO CODE SECTION  417(E) (E.G.,  A LUMP SUM  PAYMENT),  THE INTEREST RATE
SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN THE GREATER OF THE APPLICABLE  INTEREST RATE DESCRIBED IN
SECTION 1.4 OR ANY OTHER RATE SPECIFIED IN THE PLAN PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THAT IN
THE CASE OF PLAN YEARS  BEGINNING IN 2004 AND 2005,  THE INTEREST RATE SHALL NOT
BE LESS THAN THE GREATER OF 5.5% OR ANY OTHER RATE SPECIFIED IN THE PLAN."

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this  instrument  of amendment has been executed by a
duly authorize officer of the Corporation this 22nd day of December, 2006, to be

the  Loans,  the Notes and the other Loan  Documents,  and the  Borrower  hereby
affirms  its  absolute  and  unconditional  promise  to pay to the  Lenders  all

warrants to the Lenders as follows:

     (a) The execution  and delivery by the Borrower and the  Guarantors of this

         their  obligations  and agreements  under this Amendment and the Credit
         Agreement as amended hereby, are within the corporate  authority of the
         Borrower  and the  Guarantors  and,  have been duly  authorized  by all
         necessary  corporate  proceedings  on  behalf of the  Borrower  and the
         Guarantors,  and do not contravene any provision of law, statute,  rule
         or  regulation to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is subject or the
         Borrower's or any  Guarantor's  charter,  other  incorporation  papers,
         by-laws  or any stock  provision  or any  amendment  thereof  or of any
         agreement  or  other  instrument  binding  upon  the  Borrower  or  any
         Guarantor.

     (b) This Amendment and the Credit  Agreement as amended  hereby  constitute

         Guarantors,  enforceable  in accordance  with their  respective  terms,
         except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
         or other laws  relating to or affecting  generally the  enforcement  of
         creditors'  rights or  general  principles  of equity and except to the
         extent  that  availability  of the remedy of  specific  performance  or
         injunctive  relief is subject  to the  discretion  of the court  before
         which any proceeding therefore may be brought.

<PAGE>

     (c) Other than approvals or consents which have been obtained,  no approval
         or consent of, or filing with, any governmental  agency or authority is
         required to make valid and legally  binding the execution,  delivery or
         performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement,
         as amended hereby.

     (d) The representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit
         Agreement are true and correct at and as of the date made and as of the
         date  hereof,   except  to  the  extent  of  changes   resulting   from
         transactions  contemplated or permitted by the Credit Agreement and the
         other Loan  Documents and changes  occurring in the ordinary  course of
         business that singly or in the aggregate are not materially adverse, or
         to the extent that such representations and warranties relate expressly
         to an earlier date.

     (e) The Borrower has performed  and complied in all material  respects with
         all terms and  conditions  herein  required to be performed or complied

delivered shall be an original,  and all of which together shall  constitute one
instrument.  In proving  this  Amendment it shall not be necessary to produce or
account  for more than one such  counterpart  signed by the party  against  whom
enforcement is sought.

         -----------------------
delivered  by means of a facsimile  machine,  shall be treated in all manner and
respects as an original  agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have
the same binding legal effect as if it were the original  signed version thereof
delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement
or  instrument,  each other party hereto or thereto  shall  re-execute  original
forms thereof and deliver them to all other  parties.  No party hereto or to any
such  agreement  or  instrument  shall raise the use of a  facsimile  machine to
deliver a signature or the fact that any  signature  or agreement or  instrument
was  transmitted  or  communicated  through the use of a facsimile  machine as a
defense to the  formation  of a  contract  and each party  forever  waives  such
defense.

     7.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
         ------------------------

     (a) Except as otherwise  expressly  provided by this Amendment,  all of the
terms,  conditions  and  provisions  of the Credit  Agreement and the other Loan
