          Maturity Date.  Each Lender may, but shall
          have no obligation to, offer to make one or
          more such Bid Loans and the Borrower may,
          but shall have no obligation to, accept any
          such offers in the manner set forth in this
          Section 2.02A.  The sum of the outstanding

               Loan and the Funding Period therefor;

                    (ii)  the principal amount of such
               Bid Loan, selected in accordance with
               Section 2.02A(i);

                    (iii)  the fixed rate of interest
               per annum, calculated on the basis of a
               365-day year (rounded upwards, if
               necessary, to the nearest 1/10,000th of
               1%) (the "Bid Rate") applicable to such
               Bid Loan; and

               (c)  CONFIRMATION TO THE LENDERS.  The

          Lender, by telex or telecopy, confirmation
          of the Bid Loans it has agreed to accept and
          that Lenders have agreed to make on such day
          in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a
          "Bid Loan Confirmation").  The Bid Loan
          Confirmation shall specify (i) the principal
          amount of each such Bid Loan; (ii) the
          Funding Period for each such Bid Loan;
          (iii) the Bid Rate applicable to each such
          Bid Loan and (iv) the identity of the Lender

          agreed to by the Borrower and a Lender
          pursuant to Section 2.02A(b), such Lender
          shall make the amount of its Bid Loan
          available to the Borrower at such Lender's
          Domestic Lending Office in immediately
          available funds.  If any Lender makes a new
          
                            (Page 4)
          
          Bid Loan hereunder on a day on which the
          Borrower is to repay all or any part of an
          outstanding Bid Loan from such Lender, such
          Lender shall apply the proceeds of its new
          Bid Loan to make such repayment and only an
          amount equal to the difference (if any)
          between the amount being borrowed and the
          amount being repaid shall be made available
          by such Lender to the Borrower as provided
          by this Section 2.02A(d), or remitted by the
          Borrower to such Lender as provided in
          Section 2.09, as the case may be.

               (e)  BID LOAN MATURITY DATES.  The
          principal amount of each Bid Loan shall be
          due and payable on the last day of the
          applicable Funding Period agreed to by the
          Borrower and the Lender making such Bid Loan
          (the "Bid Loan Maturity Date").

               (f)  BID LOAN INTEREST PAYMENT DATES.
          Interest on each Bid Loan shall be due and
          payable on the Bid Loan Maturity Date
          thereof and thereafter on demand at the
          rates provided for in Section 2.09(c).

               (g)  UTILIZATION OF TRANCHE B REVOLVING
          CREDIT COMMITMENT.  For purposes of
          determining the available Tranche B
          Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders
          at any time (but not for purposes of
          Section 2.08(a)), each outstanding Bid Loan
          shall be deemed to have utilized the Tranche
          B Revolving Credit Commitments of the
          Lenders (including those Lenders that have
          not made such Bid Loan) Pro Rata in
          accordance with their Tranche B Revolving
          Credit Commitments.

               (h)  INTEREST RATES FOR BID LOANS.  The
          outstanding principal amount of each Bid
          Loan shall bear interest for each day until
          due at a rate per annum equal to the Bid
          Rate quoted by the Lender making such Bid
          Loan.

               (i)  PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS.  The aggregate
          principal amount of each Bid Loan shall be
          at least $1,000,000 or a higher integral
          multiple of $100,000.

               (j)  FUNDING PERIODS.  The Funding
          Period for any Bid Loan shall be for any
          period up to and including 90 days;

          end after
          
                            (Page 5)
          
          the Tranche B Revolving Credit Maturity Date

          such Funding Periods, allow for foreseeable
          mandatory repayments of the Loans.

          the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal
          amount of the Bid Loans made to it by each
          Lender and to pay interest thereon shall be
          evidenced in part by promissory notes of the
          Borrower, dated June 15, 1994 in
          substantially the form attached hereto as
          Exhibit K, payable to the order of such

          Fee") equal to .10% per annum (based on a
          year of 360 days and actual days elapsed),

          the date of this Agreement to but not
          including June 1, 1994 and equal to .05% per

          equivalent of the aggregate principal amount
          of such Lender's Tranche B Revolving Credit
          Loans outstanding on such day.  For purposes
          of calculating the Tranche B Commitment Fee
          payable to a Lender, the outstanding
          principal amount of Bid Loans made by such
          Lender shall be deemed to be outstanding
          Tranche B Revolving Credit Loans of such
          Lender, but the outstanding principal amounts
          of Bid Loans made by another Lender shall not
          be deemed to be outstanding Tranche B

          annum (based on a year of 360 days and actual
          days elapsed), for each day from and
          including June 1, 1994 to but not including
          the Tranche A Maturity Date on the amount
          (not less than zero) equal to such Lender's

          a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed),
          for each day from and including the date of
          this Agreement to but not including the
          Tranche B Maturity Date on the amount (not
          less than zero) equal to such Lender's
          Tranche B Revolving Credit Committed Amount

          (ix)  PRO RATA TREATMENT.  Section 2.09(a) is deleted
and the following is substituted:

               (a)  PRO RATA TREATMENT.  Each borrowing
          of Revolving Credit Loans and each conversion
          and renewal of interest rate Options
          hereunder shall be made, and all payments
          made in respect of principal of and interest
          on Revolving Credit Loans and Fees due from
          the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving
          Notes shall be applied, Pro Rata from and to
          each Lender, as the case may be, except for
          payments of interest involving an Affected
          Lender as provided in Section 2.04(e) hereof
          and payments to a Lender subject to a
          withholding deduction under Section 2.12(c)
          hereof.  All payments made in respect of
          principal of any Bid Loan Borrowing due from
          the Borrower hereunder or under the Bid Loan
          Notes shall be made to each Lender
          participating in such Bid Loan Borrowing in
          proportion to the respective principal
          amounts of their outstanding Bid Loans
          comprising such Bid Loan Borrowing.  All
          payments made in respect of interest on any
          Bid Loan Borrowing due from the Borrower
          hereunder or under the Bid Loan Notes shall
          be made to each Lender participating in such
          Bid Loan Borrowing in proportion to the
          respective amounts of accrued and unpaid
          interest on their Bid Loans comprising such
          Bid Loan Borrowing, except for payments to a
          Lender subject to a withholding deduction
          under Section 2.12(c) hereof.  The failure of
          any Lender to make a Loan shall not relieve
          any other Lender of its obligation to lend
          hereunder; no Lender shall be responsible for
          the failure of any other Lender to make a
          Loan.

the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes

          This Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts
as may be deemed necessary and convenient and by the separate
parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed to constitute an original,
but all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

          If any provision of this Amendment, or the application
thereof to any party hereto, shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provisions or applications of this Amendment
which can be given effect without the invalid and unenforceable
provision or application, and to this end the parties hereto
agree that the provisions of this Amendment are and shall be
severable.

                            (Page 13)

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto by their
officers thereunto duly authorized have executed this Amendment
