                  its entirety.

         (c)      The definition of "Consolidated Interest Expense" is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                  "Consolidated Interest Expense" means, with respect to any
         period of computation thereof, the gross interest expense of CPV and
         its Subsidiaries, including without limitation (i) the current

         interest expense, (ii) the current amortized portion of all fees
         (including fees payable in respect of any Swap Agreement) payable in
         connection with the

         incurrence of Indebtedness to the extent included in gross interest
         expense, and (iii) the portion of any payments made in connection with
         Capital Leases allocable to interest expense, all determined on a
         consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP applied on a Consistent
         Basis; provided, however, that with respect a Qualifying Property that
         is not owned by CPV, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for such entire
         Four-Quarter Period, the interest expense attributable to any
         Indebtedness relating to such Qualifying Property shall be determined
         on an annualized basis so that if such Qualifying Property has been
         owned by CPV, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (a) for one full quarter,
         the interest expense attributable to such Qualified Property for such
         quarter shall be multiplied by four; (b) for two full quarters, the
         interest expense attributable to such Qualified Property for such two
         quarters shall be multiplied by two; (c) for three full quarters, the
         interest expense attributable to such Qualified Property for such
         three quarters shall be multiplied by 4/3 and (d) for less than one
         full quarter, the interest expense attributable to such Qualified
         Property shall be based upon a pro forma annualized estimate of such
         interest expense acceptable to the Agent.

         3.       Amendment to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby

based on their Applicable Commitment Percentages, an unused fee (the "Unused

Outstandings) plus (ii) Letter of Credit Outstandings at the close of business
on each day during each calendar quarter. Such fees shall be due in arrears on
