                  SECTION 5. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall
not become effective until the date (the "Effective Date") on which this
Amendment shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Required
Banks and the Agent, and the Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to
it of such execution, provided that, notwithstanding the occurrence of the
Effective Date, the effect of the amendments (but not the waivers) set forth
herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if on or before
April 2, 2001 the Bankruptcy Court shall not have entered an order reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent approving the payment by the

the effectiveness of a Reorganization Plan for the Borrower.

reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel to the Agent.

                  SECTION 8. References. This Amendment shall be limited
precisely as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a consent granted
pursuant to, or a waiver or modification of, any other term or condition of the
Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or
(b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Agent or the Banks may now have
or have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of
the instruments or agreements referred to therein. Whenever the Credit Agreement
is referred to in the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments, agreements or
other documents or papers executed or delivered in connection therewith, such
reference shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement as modified by this
Amendment.

                  SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. A fax copy of a counterpart signature page shall serve as the
functional equivalent of a manually executed copy of all purposes.

                  SECTION 10. Applicable Law. This Amendment shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such
State.
