WHEREAS, the Borrower has informed the Banks that certain financial information provided to the Banks prior to the date hereof will be restated to reflect certain non-cash adjustments related to foreign currency denominated debt required to be recorded pursuant to
SFAS 52 (the "SFAS 52 Adjustments"); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested the Banks amend the Credit Agreement to exclude the SFAS 52 Adjustments for the purpose of determining compliance with certain covenants in the Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions; References. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein which is defined in the Credit Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement. Each reference to "hereof", "hereunder", "herein"
and "hereby" and each other similar reference and each reference to "this Agreement" and each other similar reference contained in the Credit Agreement shall, on and after the date hereof, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

expenses or adjustments of the Borrower required to be made pursuant to SFAS 133 and SFAS 52".

SECTION 4. Waiver. Each of the Banks hereby waives any Default or Event of Default arising prior to the date hereof, but only to the extent that such Default or Event of Default was caused solely by the Borrower's failure to reflect the SFAS 52 Adjustments
in the financial statements for the 2002 fiscal year ending May 31, 2002 (or any fiscal quarter of such fiscal year) and for the fiscal quarters ending August 30, 2002, November 30, 2002 and February 28, 2003.

SECTION 5. No Other Waivers. Other than as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 shall not operate as a waiver or amendment of any right, power or privilege of the Banks under the Credit Agreement or of any other term or condition of the Credit
Agreement nor shall the entering into of this Amendment No. 1 preclude the Banks from refusing to enter into any further waivers or amendments with respect to the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6. Representation of Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that, immediately after the effectiveness hereof, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date.

SECTION 7. Governing Law. This Amendment No. 1 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 8. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Amendment No. 1 may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Amendment No. 1
shall become effective as of the date hereof when the Administrative Agent shall have received duly executed counterparts hereof signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been
received, telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment No. 1 to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
