        (b) The Agreement as amended by this Amendment and the Loan
Documents and each and every other document executed and delivered in
connection with this Amendment to which any of the Borrowers or the Parent,
or any Subsidiary thereof, is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Person to the extent it is a party thereto, enforceable
against such Person in accordance with its respective terms.

        (c) This Amendment does not and will not violate any provisions of
the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws of any of the Borrowers
or the Parent, or any contract, agreement, instrument or requirement of any
Governmental Authority to which any such Person is subject. The execution of

or the Parent, other than those permitted by the Agreement and this Amendment.

        (d) The execution, delivery and performance by each of the

thereof or any political subdivision of the United States of America or any
state thereof.

        (e) The annual audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and
the Borrowers as of December 31, 1999, the related consolidated statements of
earnings, capital accounts, and cash flows for the quarter then ended which
have been furnished to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Banks, fairly present the financial condition of the Parent and the Borrowers
as at such date and the results of the operations of the Parent and the
Borrowers for the periods ended on such date, all in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, and
since December 31, 1999 there has been no material adverse change in such
condition or operations.

        (f) Each of the Borrowers and the Parent has performed and complied
with all agreements and conditions contained in the Agreement required to be
performed or complied with by each such Person prior to or at the time of
delivery of this Amendment.

        (g) No Default or Event of Default exists and, after giving effect
to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default will exist and all of the
representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all instruments
and documents executed pursuant thereto or contemplated thereby are true and
correct in all material respects on and as of this date.

Subsidiary thereof is a party.
