     (g) Section 7.1.9(c) of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

          "(c) The Credit Parties, on a consolidated basis, shall not make
     Capital Expenditures during any Fiscal Year that exceed, in the aggregate,
     $40,000,000."

     (h) Section 11 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:

          "This Financing Agreement and the Line of Credit shall terminate on
     the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Agent or the
     Required Lenders (acting through the Agent) may terminate the Financing
     Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided
     that in the case of an Event of Default listed in SECTION 10.1(c) of this
     Financing Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders may regard the Financing
     Agreement as terminated and notice to that effect is not required, and (b)
     the Borrower may terminate this Financing Agreement and the Line of Credit
     prior to the Termination Date upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice
     to the Agent, PROVIDED that the Borrower pays to the Agent, for the benefit
     of Lenders, immediately on demand, any applicable Early Termination Fee.
     All Obligations shall become due and payable as of any termination
     hereunder or under Section 10 of this Financing Agreement and, pending a
     final accounting, the Agent may withhold any balances in the Borrower's
     Revolving Loan Account (unless supplied with an indemnity satisfactory to
     the Agent) to cover all of the Obligations, whether absolute or contingent;
     provided that, if no amounts are outstanding with respect to Obligations,
     any positive balances in the Borrower's Revolving Loan Account shall be
     returned to the Borrower. All of the Agent's and the Lenders' rights, Liens
     and security interests shall continue after any termination until all
     Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full."

     (i) Section 8.2 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:

          "8.2 DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
     an Event of Default, all Obligations shall, at the Agent's election at any
     time thereafter, bear interest at the Default Rate until such Event of
     Default is waived, PROVIDED that this Section 8.2 shall not apply to any
     indebtedness, obligations or liabilities owed by any Credit Party to the
     Agent and/or any Lender in respect of any Qualified Hedging Agreement."

     (j) The following new Section 12.10 is hereby added immediately after
Section 12.9 and shall read as follows:

          "12.10 QUALIFYING HEDGING AGREEMENTS. Subject to each of the terms and
     conditions contained in this SECTION 12.10, Borrower shall be permitted to
     enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements with the Lenders, in form
     and substance acceptable to the Lenders, which permits Borrower to convert
     the fixed

                                       5
<Page>

     rate of interest on up to $100,000,000 of principal amount of the Senior
     Notes into a floating rate of interest to be determined between the
     Borrower and the Lenders in such Interest Rate Protection Agreements
     (each a "QUALIFYING IPA") so long as on the date any such Qualifying IPA
     becomes effective (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
     and be continuing, (ii) the Qualifying IPA Exposure (as defined below)
     is less than $15,000,000, (iii) unused Availability exceeds $25,000,000,
     and (iv) each of CIT and Fleet participate equally in the provision of
     such Interest Rate Protection Agreement. If Borrower and Lenders enter
     into a Qualifying IPA, the following terms and conditions shall apply at
     all times while such Qualifying IPA shall remain in effect or any
     Interest Rate Protection Obligations in respect of such Qualifying IPA
     shall remain outstanding:

          (a) In addition to and not in lieu of any other Availability Reserves
          which may be outstanding from time to time, the Agent shall establish
          and maintain a special Availability Reserve in respect of such
          Qualifying IPA (the "QUALIFYING IPA RESERVE"). The amount of the
          Qualifying IPA Reserve, if any, shall be equal to the amount
          reasonably determined in good faith by the Agent to be the maximum
          projected amount of potential Interest Rate Protection Obligations
          owing by Borrower, reduced by the actual amount, if any, of Interest
          Rate Protection Obligations owing to Borrower, in respect of such
          Qualifying IPA at such time (the "QUALIFYING IPA EXPOSURE"). The Agent
          shall receive periodic reports from the Lender(s) issuing the
          Qualifying IPA(s) computing the Qualifying IPA Exposure and may
          utilize such reports in adjusting and maintaining the Qualifying IPA
          Reserve.

          In no event shall the imposition of any Qualifying IPA Reserve limit
          or restrict the right of the Agent to charge the Borrower's Revolving
          Loan account for all interest, fees, expenses and other Obligations
          that are due and payable to Agent and/or the Lenders under this
          Financing Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of
          whether sufficient Availability exists at such time.

          (b) Though such Qualifying IPA may have a final maturity date of
          January 2, 2007, the terms of such Qualifying IPA shall provide that
          the same shall immediately terminate upon the date that this Financing
          Agreement shall terminate in accordance with SECTION 11 hereof.

remaining provisions of this Amendment in that jurisdiction or the operation,
enforceability or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

     (g) Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience
of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any
