     enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as
     the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) the effect of any applicable
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting

     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property is bound,

     waived by a written waiver document, a copy of which has been delivered to
     Agent on or before the date hereof.

          (a) Except as specifically set forth above, the Credit Agreement and
     the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are
     hereby ratified and confirmed.

          (b) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
     not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent or any
     Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, nor constitute
     amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document,
     except as specifically set forth herein. Upon the effectiveness of this
     Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement",
     "hereunder", "hereof", "herein" or words of similar import shall mean and
     be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
