Corporation (the "Borrower"), the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement, the
Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent named therein, Royal Bank of Canada,
as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), the

                             - - - - - - - - - -

      WHEREAS, Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent,
the Federal Guarantor and the State Guarantor are parties to the Credit
Agreement;

      WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Tranche B Lenders agree to
amend the Applicable Margin with respect to the Tranche B Loans (the "Tranche B
Repricing") as provided herein;

      WHEREAS, Holdings intends to sell up to an aggregate of $150,000,000 of

"Equity Offering" and collectively, the "Equity Offerings") and the Borrower has
requested that the Lenders agree to waive certain mandatory prepayment
provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to the proceeds thereof;

      WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to make certain
other amendments and waivers relating to the Credit Agreement as set forth

and the Federal Guarantor hereby agree as follows:

      SECTION I. AMENDMENT RELATING TO THE TRANCHE B LOAN REPRICING.

      1. Amendment to Section 1.1 (Definitions). The definition of "Applicable
Margin" set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting from the table contained therein the line entitled "Tranche B Loans"
and the margins for ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans set forth opposite thereto
and inserting in lieu thereof:

      SECTION II. WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS RELATING TO THE EQUITY OFFERINGS.

<PAGE>

      1. Waiver of Mandatory Prepayment Provisions. Each of the Lenders and the
Federal Guarantor hereby waives the requirement set forth in Section 2.6(a) with
respect to the application of the Net Cash Proceeds of each Equity Offering,
provided that (i) such Equity Offerings are consummated no later than January
31, 2005 and (ii) upon receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from any Equity Offering,
Holdings shall contribute such Net Cash Proceeds to the Borrower and the
Borrower shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds in the following order: (A) first,
on any date on which Net Cash Proceeds are received from an Equity Offering (or
the following Business Day in the event Net Cash Proceeds are received after
2:00 p.m., New York City time) (each a "Prepayment Date"), to reduce the
principal amount of the loans outstanding under the Revolving Loan Agreement to
zero (excluding any letters of credit then outstanding under the Revolving Loan
Agreement); (B) second, to the extent of any excess, to Capital Expenditures to
be made on or after the date of such Equity Offering, provided that (I) any Net
Cash Proceeds allocated to Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (B) are
deposited on the date of such Equity Offering in a segregated account (the
"Capital Expenditure Deposit Account") as to which the deposit bank has executed
a control agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (II) all Capital Expenditures made
with amounts withdrawn from the Capital Expenditure Deposit Account are expended
pursuant to and in accordance with clause (a), (b) or (e) of Section 6.7 of the
Credit Agreement (as amended by this First Amendment), and (III) no more than
$35,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds from all Equity Offerings may be allocated to
Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (B); and (C) third, on the
respective Prepayment Date, to the extent of any excess, to prepay the principal
amount of the Loans.

      2. Waiver of Inverse Application of Prepayments. Notwithstanding Section
2.12(a) of the Credit Agreement, each of the Lenders and the Federal Guarantor
hereby agrees that with respect to any prepayment of Loans made in accordance
with Section II.1 above, such prepayment shall be applied pro rata among the
Tranche A Loans, the Tranche B Loans and the Tranche C Loans and, within each
tranche, pro rata over the remaining principal installments thereof as set forth
in Section 2.3.

      WHEREAS, Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
are parties to the Credit Agreement;

      WHEREAS, Holdings intends to sell newly issued Capital Stock through one
or more offerings in the capital markets (each an "Equity Offering" and

with the Term Loan Lenders to apply the net cash proceeds thereof in the
following order: (i) first, to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving

the Revolving Loan Agreement); (ii) second, to the extent of any excess, to
Capital Expenditures to be made on or after the date of such Equity Offering,
provided that (A) any net cash proceeds so allocated to Capital Expenditures are
deposited on the date of such Equity Offering (or the following Business Day in
the event the net cash proceeds from the Equity Offering are received after 2:00
p.m., New York City time) in a segregated account (the "Capital Expenditure
Deposit Account") as to which the deposit bank has executed a control agreement
in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as
defined in the Security Agreement), (B) all Capital Expenditures made with
amounts withdrawn from the Capital Expenditure Deposit Account are expended
pursuant to and in accordance with limitations set forth in the Credit
Agreement, and (C) no more than $35,000,000 of net cash proceeds from all Equity
Offerings are so allocated to Capital Expenditures; and (iii) third, to the
extent of any excess, to prepay the principal amount of the Term Loans;

      WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to make certain
amendments relating to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein; and

      WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to agree to such amendments, in each case
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
