Agreement, and subject to the requirements of Section 3.2 of the Credit
Agreement, will be permitted to re-borrow) all Syndicated Loans then

foregoing representations and warranties shall constitute a representation and
warranty of Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and it shall be an Event of
Default if any such representation and warranty shall prove to have been
incorrect or false in any material respect at the time when made or deemed to
have been made.  Each of the foregoing representations and warranties shall
survive and not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Amendment or any
investigation by the Lenders or the Agents.

Agent, and each Lender, and their respective officers, partners, directors,
employees, representatives and agents from, and hold each of them harmless
against, any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses
incurred by any of them (whether or not any of them is designated a party
thereto) (an "Indemnitee") arising out of or by reason of any investigation,
litigation or other proceeding related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Documents or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any
of the Loans, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel incurred in  connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, Borrower shall not be
obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee for any of the foregoing arising out of
such Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          SECTION 9.  No Waiver, Etc.  Borrower hereby agrees that nothing
                      ---------------
herein shall constitute a waiver by the Lenders of any Default or Event of
Default, whether known or unknown, which may exist under the Credit Agreement.
Borrower hereby further agrees that no action, inaction or agreement by the
Lenders, including without limitation, any indulgence, waiver, consent or
agreement altering the provisions of the Credit Agreement which may have
occurred with respect to the non-performance of any obligation under the terms
of the Credit Agreement or any portion thereof, or any other matter relating to
the Credit Agreement, shall require or imply any future indulgence, waiver, or
agreement by the Lenders.

                      --------------------
entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters set forth
herein, and shall supersede any prior negotiations or agreements, whether
written or oral, with respect thereto.

          SECTION 14. Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any
                      ------------

counterparts and may be delivered by telecopier. Each counterpart so executed
and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.
