following therefor:

            "(a) Prepayments and Reductions from Asset Sales. Subject to
      subsection 2.4A(iii)(d), immediately upon receipt by Borrower or any
      of its Subsidiaries of Cash Proceeds of Net Cash Proceeds of any
      Asset Sale equal to or greater than $100,000 in the aggregate and
      allocable to Accounts, Inventory, cash or other current assets, (i)
      Borrower shall prepay first the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving

      amount of such Net Cash Proceeds which is the highest integral
      multiple of $25,000 and (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
      permanently reduced to the extent required by Managing Agent in an
      amount not to exceed the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (excluding
      Net Cash Proceeds actually applied to repay Tranche C Term Loans).
      Subject to subsection 2.4A(iii)(d), immediately upon receipt by
      Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Cash Proceeds of (i) Net Cash
      Proceeds of any Asset Sale equal to or greater than $100,000 in the
      aggregate and not allocable to Accounts, Inventory, cash or other
      current assets, Borrower shall prepay first the Tranche C Term Loans,

      Borrower shall deliver to Managing Agent an Officer's Certificate
      demonstrating the derivation of the Net Cash Proceeds of the
      correlative Asset Sale from the gross sales price thereof and whether
      or not such Net Cash Proceeds are allocable to Accounts, Inventory or
      other current assets. In the event that Borrower shall, at any time
      after receipt of Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale requiring a
      prepayment of Loans and/or a reduction of the Revolving Loan
      Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.4A(iii)(a), determine that

      Loan Commitments previously made in respect of such Asset Sale were
      in an aggregate amount less than that required by the terms of this
      subsection 2.4A(iii)(a), Borrower shall promptly make an additional
      prepayment of the Loans, and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
      permanently reduced, in the manner described above in an amount equal
      to the amount of any such deficit, and Borrower shall concurrently
      therewith deliver to Managing Agent an Officer's Certificate
      demonstrating the derivation of the additional Net Cash Proceeds
      resulting in such deficit. Any mandatory prepayments or reductions of
      the Loans and/or the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this

      or after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date of receipt by Borrower or
      any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of Refinancing Indebtedness
      (other than Refinancing Indebtedness constituting Liquidity Proceeds
      or constituting Subordinated Indebtedness the proceeds of which are
      used to refinance the Senior Subordinated Notes), Borrower shall
      repay first the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Loans, and second
      the Tranche C Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such
      proceeds, as specified in subsection 2.4A(iv), and the Commitments
      shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the amount of such
      proceeds, as specified in subsection 2.4A(iv)."

      B. Subsection 2.4A(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
further by adding the following clauses (d) and (e) at the end thereof:

      (ii) or (iii) of subsection 6.15 prior to January 15, 2002, Borrower
      shall prepay first the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Loans in an
      amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such Liquidity Proceeds
      and $10,000,000, and second to the Tranche C Term Loans to the extent
      the amount of such Liquidity Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000; provided
      that, Borrower shall not be required to repay Swing Line Loans or
      Revolving Loans pursuant to clause first of this sentence to the
      extent Borrower applies such Liquidity Proceeds that would otherwise
      be required to pay Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans within three
      (3) Business Days after receipt to redeem or repurchase and retire
      Senior Subordinated Notes. Any mandatory prepayments of the Loans
      pursuant to this subsection 2.4A(iii)(d) shall be applied as provided
      in subsection 2.4A(iv), except that the Revolving Loan Commitments
      will not be reduced as a result of such prepayments."

            (e) Scheduled Payment of Tranche C Term Loans. Borrower shall
      make a principal payment on the Tranche C Term Loans on the date of
      their maturity which shall be the Commitment Termination Date in an
      amount equal to the principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loans
      outstanding at such time."

      C. Subsection 2.4A(iv) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting clause (iv) in its entirety and substituting the following
therefor:

                  "(iv) Application of Reduction of Commitments and
         Prepayments. Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments
         pursuant to subsection 2.4A(ii) or (iii) shall be applied to
         reduce the Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments and the Tranche B
         Revolving Loan Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the
         aggregate amount of each such Commitment at such time, except to
         the extent otherwise expressly provided therein. Notwithstanding
         anything contained in subsection 2.4A(iii) to the contrary, if an
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent has
         received written notice from Borrower or a Lender to such effect,
         any amount required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the
         Term C Term Loans shall instead be applied first to repay Swing
         Line Loans and Revolving Loans, second to cash collateralize
         Letters of Credit in accordance with subsection 8.13 and third to
         repay Tranche C Term Loans. Any prepayment of the Swing Line Loans
         and the Revolving Loans shall be applied first to repay any Swing
         Line Loans to the full extent thereof and second to repay Tranche
         A Revolving Loans and Tranche B Revolving Loans which are Index
         Rate Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective
         outstanding principal amounts thereof at such time, to the full
         extent thereof, and then to repay Tranche A Revolving Loans and
         Tranche B Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans on a pro rata
         basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal
         amounts thereof at such time, in each case in a manner which
         minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by
         Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.6D."

      D. Subsection 2.4B(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

                  "(iii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and
         interest payments shall be apportioned among all outstanding Swing
         Line Loans and Revolving Loans to which such payments relate, in
         each case proportionately to applicable Lenders' respective Pro
         Rata Shares. Aggregate principal and interest payments shall be
         apportioned among all outstanding Tranche C Term Loans to which
         such payments relate, in each case proportionately to applicable
         Tranche C Term Lenders' respective percentage shares of the
         Tranche C Term Loans. Managing Agent shall promptly distribute to
         each applicable Lender, at its primary address set forth below its
         name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other
         address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share or share of
         the Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, of all such payments
         received by Managing Agent and the commitment fees of such Lender,
         if applicable, when received by Managing Agent pursuant to

         which caused Borrower's election to replace any Lender hereunder,
         and each such replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the
         Managing Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and such other
         documentation satisfactory to the Managing Agent pursuant to which
         such replacement Lender is to become a party hereto, with a
         Commitment (if any), equal to that of the Lender being replaced
         and shall make Loans in the aggregate principal amount equal to
         the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of the
         Lender being replaced;

                  (c) Upon such execution of such documents referred to in
         clause (b) and repayment of the amount referred to in clause (a),
         the replacement Lender shall be a "Lender" with a Commitment (if
         any), as specified hereinabove and the Lender being replaced shall

         to this subsection 2.9 because the Lender seeks reimbursement
         under either subsection 2.6 or 2.7, then it must also replace any
         other Lender who seeks similar levels of reimbursement (as a
         percentage of such Lender's Commitment or share of the Tranche C
         Term Loans, as the case may be) under such subsections; provided
         however that if the amount of the Commitment or applicable share
         of the Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, any replacement
         Lender is willing to commit to or assume does not exceed the
         aggregate of the Commitments or share of the Tranche C Term Loans,
         as the case may be, of each such Lender seeking such
         reimbursement, the Commitment or share of the Tranche C Term
         Loans, as the case may be, of each such Lender seeking
         reimbursement shall be reduced pro rata to the extent of the
         Commitment or share of the Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may
         be, of such replacement Lender."

         portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
         penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
         disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
         willful misconduct or allocable to the Tranche C Term Loans based
         on the Obligations allocable to the Tranche C Term Loans as
         compared with the Obligations allocable to the Credit Exposure. If

         opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent
         may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to
         do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
         furnished.

                  Each Tranche C Term Lender, in proportion to its share of
         the Tranche C Term Loans, severally agrees to indemnify each
         Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been
         reimbursed by Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities,
         obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
         suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, counsel
         fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature

         disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
         willful misconduct or allocable to the Credit Exposure based on
         the Obligations allocable to the Credit Exposure as compared with
         the Obligations allocable to the Tranche C Term Loans. If any
         indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the
         opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent
         may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to
         do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
         furnished."

      B. Subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding

         extent required, each of the Collateral Documents to which any
         party hereto is a party is hereby amended to include said
         obligations within the meaning of the term "Secured Obligations,"
         "Guarantied Obligations" or other comparable terms contained in

         continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations
         thereunder (as confirmed and/or amended herein) shall be valid and
         enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution
         or effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment or any future amendment or
         modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

                  Non-Tranche C Term Lenders hereby agree among themselves
         that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, by
         realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of
         set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by
         the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents (excluding,
         for this purpose, the Canadian Loan Documents and the Tranche C
         Term Notes) or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit
         treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive
         payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
         principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of
         Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that
         Non-Tranche C Term Lender hereunder or under the other Loan

         Non-Tranche C Term Lender in respect of the Aggregate Revolving
         Amounts Due to such other Non-Tranche C Term Lender, then the
         Non-Tranche C Term Lender receiving such proportionately greater
         payment shall (i) notify each Agent and each other Non-Tranche C
         Term Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a
         portion of such payment to purchase participations without
         recourse except as provided below (which it shall be deemed to
         have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously
         upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in
         the Aggregate Revolving Amounts Due to the other Non-Tranche C
         Term Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Revolving
         Amounts Due shall be shared by all Non-Tranche C Term Lenders in
         proportion to the Aggregate Revolving Amounts Due to them;
         provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater
         payment received by such purchasing Non-Tranche C Term Lender is
         thereafter recovered from such Non-Tranche C Term Lender upon the
         bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those
         purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
         participations shall be returned to such purchasing Non-Tranche C
         Term Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without
         interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement

         exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or
         counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower
         to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder
         were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

                  Tranche C Term Lenders hereby agree among themselves that
         if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, by realization
         upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or

         Notes, the Swing Line Notes and the Letters of Credit)
         (collectively, the "Aggregate Term Amounts Due" to such Tranche C
         Term Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any
         other Tranche C Term Lender in respect of the Aggregate Term
         Amounts Due to such other Tranche C Term Lender, then the Tranche
         C Term Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall
         (i) notify each Agent and each other Tranche C Term Lender of the
         receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment
         to purchase participations without recourse except as provided
         below (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller
         of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller
         of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Term Amounts Due
         to the other Tranche C Term Lenders so that all such recoveries of
         Aggregate Term Amounts Due shall be shared by all Tranche C Term
         Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Term Amounts Due to them;
         provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater
         payment received by such purchasing Tranche C Term Lender is
         thereafter recovered from such Tranche C Term Lender upon the
         bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those
         purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
         participations shall be returned to such purchasing Tranche C Term
         Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without
         interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement
         and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may
         exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or
         counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower
         to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder
         were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder."
