                  (a) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by it
         and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable
         against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
         be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or
         other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and except as
         enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
         (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
         proceeding in equity or at law).

                  (b) Before and after giving effect to this Amendment, the
         representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit

Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, and shall not
alter, modify, amend or in any way affect the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, all of which are
ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and
effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle AAMH or the Borrower to a
consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit
Agreement in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and
be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement

or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an
executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

                  SECTION 9. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath,
Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative Agent, and for any other
outstanding out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection
with the Loan Documents and all transactions, consummated or otherwise, in
connection therewith.

                  SECTION 10. Headings. The Section headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Amendment.

and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Schedule 6.01 hereto.

                  (k) Each reference in the Credit Agreement to the term "AAMM"

                  (a) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by it
         and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable
         against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
         be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or
         other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and except as
         enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
         (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
         proceeding in equity or at law).

                  (b) Before and after giving effect to this Amendment, the
         representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit

shall be true and correct, (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i)
counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of
AAMH, the Borrower, the Required Lenders and each Lender the Revolving Credit
Commitment of which is increased (or that provides a Revolving Credit
Commitment) pursuant hereto and (ii) the Amendment Fees and (c) all other fees
and expenses required to be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant hereto
shall have been repaid or reimbursed, as applicable.

                  SECTION 6. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair,
constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the

alter, modify, amend or in any way affect the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, all of which are

which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an
executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

                  SECTION 10. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath,
