         Section 4. Representations and Warranties

                  On and as of the date hereof and as of the Amendment Effective
Date, after giving effect to this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:

                  (a) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Borrower and Group and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower and Group, enforceable against the Borrower and Group
in accordance with its terms and the Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower and Group, enforceable against the Borrower and Group in accordance
with its terms;

                  (b) each of the representations and warranties contained in
Article IV (Representations and Warranties) of the Credit Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or in any certificate, document or financial or other statement
furnished at any time under or in connection therewith are true and correct in
all material respects on and as of the date hereof and the Amendment Effective
Date, in each case as if made on and as of such date and except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically relate to a specific date,
in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in
all material respects as of such specific date; provided, however, that
references therein to the "Credit Agreement" shall be deemed to refer to the
Credit Agreement as amended hereby and after giving effect to the consents and
waivers set forth herein;

                  (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing (except for those that are duly waived); and

                  (d) no litigation has been commenced against any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries seeking to restraint or enjoin (whether temporarily,
preliminarily or permanently) the performance of any action by any Loan Party
required or contemplated by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any Loan
Document, in each case as amended hereby (if applicable).

         Section 5. Reference to the Effect on the Loan Documents

                  (a) As of the Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the

of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Credit
Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like "thereunder,"
"thereof" and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Credit
Agreement as amended hereby, and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall
be read together and construed as a single instrument. Each of the table of
contents and lists of Exhibits and Schedules of the Credit Agreement shall be
amended to reflect the changes made in this Amendment as of the Amendment
Effective Date.

                  (b) Except as expressly amended hereby or specifically waived
above, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other
Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby
ratified and confirmed.




                                       8









                  (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, Issuers, Arranger or the
Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver or
amendment of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents or for any purpose
except as expressly set forth herein.

                  (d) This Amendment is a Loan Document.

         Section 6. Execution in Counterparts

                  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from
multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all
signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed
counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Amendment.

accordance with the law of the State of New York.

         Section 8. Section Titles

be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a
part of the agreement between the parties hereto, except when used to reference
a section.

         Section 9. Notices

                  All communications and notices hereunder shall be given as
provided in the Credit Agreement or, as the case may be, the Guaranty.

         Section 10. Severability

                  The fact that any term or provision of this Agreement is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable as to any person in any situation in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, enforceability or legality of the
remaining terms or provisions hereof or the validity, enforceability or legality
of such offending term or provision in any other situation or jurisdiction or as
applied to any person

         Section 11. Successors

                  The terms of this Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.

         Section 12. Waiver of Jury Trial

                  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN
