number of  counterparts,  each of which shall be an  original  but all of which,
when  taken  together,  shall  constitute  but one  instrument.  Delivery  of an
executed  counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

            SECTION 8. Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent for
its  out-of-pocket  expenses in connection  with this  Amendment,  including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath,  Swaine & Moore,  counsel
