read as follows:

                           SECTION 2.20. Increase in Revolving Commitments. The
                                         ---------------------------------
         Company may, by written notice to the


                                                                               3


     US Agent, executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions
     (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called a
     "Prospective Revolving Lender"), which may include any Lender, cause the
      ----------------------------
     Revolving Commitments of the Prospective Revolving Lenders to be increased
     (or cause Revolving Commitments to be extended by the Prospective Revolving
     Lenders, as the case may be) in an amount for each Prospective Revolving
     Lender set forth in such notice, provided, however, that (a) the aggregate
                                      --------  -------
     amount of the Lenders' Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such
     increase shall in no event exceed US$185,000,000, (b) each Prospective
     Revolving Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to
     the approval of the US Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
     withheld) and (c) each Prospective Revolving Lender, if not already a
     Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and
     delivering to the US Agent a duly executed Accession Agreement. Increases
     and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this Section shall become
     effective (A) in the case of Prospective Revolving Lenders already parties
     hereunder, on the date specified in the notice delivered pursuant to this
     Section and (B) in the case of Prospective Revolving Lenders not already
     parties hereunder, on the effective date of the Accession Agreement. Upon
     the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Prospective
     Revolving Lender is a party, (i) such Prospective Revolving Lender shall
     thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled
     to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and
     subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) Schedule 2.01
     shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Revolving Commitment of
     the additional Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the
     effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this Section in the Revolving
     Commitment of a Lender already a party hereunder, Schedule 2.01 shall be
     deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Revolving Commitment
     of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate
     Revolving Commitments (or in the Revolving Commitment of any Lender) shall
     become effective under this Section unless, on the date of such increase,
     the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be
     satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a Borrowing being
     deemed to be references to such increase) and the US Agent shall have
     received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a
     Financial Officer of the Company.


                                                                               4

         Following any increase of a Lender's Revolving Commitment or any
         extension of a new Revolving Commitment pursuant to this paragraph, any
         Revolving Loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such increase
         or extension shall continue outstanding until the ends of the
         respective Interests Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be
         repaid or refinanced with new Revolving Loans made pursuant to Sections
         2.01 and 2.03.

                  (e) Section 5.15 is amended by deleting in its entirety
 paragraph (a) thereof and deleting "(b)" appearing immediately prior to the
 words "The Company and CBIL shall pay and perform".

                  (f) Section 6.05(d) is amended and restated in its entirety to
 read as follows:

                           (d) (i) the Senior Subordinated Notes; (ii) any other
         Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company the proceeds of which are
         solely applied to repay the Senior Subordinated Notes; provided that
                                                                --------
         the terms of any such other Subordinated Indebtedness (including
         maturity, amortization, redemption, repurchase or prepayment
         requirements, covenants and events of default and subordination
         provisions) shall (x) be in the aggregate not less favorable to the
         Company than those of the Senior Subordinated Notes, (y) contain
         subordination provisions at least as favorable to the Lenders as those
         contained in the Senior Subordinated Notes and (z) mature no earlier
         than, and require no amortization, redemption, repurchase or prepayment
         earlier than, the Senior Subordinated Notes; and (iii) Qualified
         Subordinated Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to
         exceed US$225,000,000;

                  (g) Section 6.15 is amended and restated in its entirety to

         of or interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes or any other
         Subordinated Indebtedness, or any payment or other distribution
         (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking
         fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption,
         retirement,


                                                                               5

         defeasance, cancellation or termination of the Senior Subordinated
         Notes or any other Subordinated Indebtedness, except (i) scheduled and
         other mandatory payments of interest and principal in respect thereof
         (other than any prepayments of the Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009
         with the proceeds of any offering or issuance of Equity Interests or

                                       --------
         (ii) and (iii) above, (A) the Net Proceeds from such Initial Public
         Offering are applied first to prepay US Term Loans and, unless such
         Initial Public offering is the Planned IPO, amounts owed in respect of
         Canadian Term Loans and outstanding B/As in accordance with Section
         2.11(c), (B) the Net Proceeds from the issuance of Qualified
         Subordinated Indebtedness are applied to prepay Senior Subordinated
