Party set forth in the other Transaction Documents to which any is a party are
true and correct in all respects, (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing
which constitutes an "Event of Default" under any of the Transaction Documents
(as "Event of Default" is defined in each of those Transaction Documents), and
(iii) Debtor is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Articles 9 and 10
of the Agreement.

         7. Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party that there are no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims to the payment of the indebtedness owing
Secured Party, including the Advances, and to the continuing general security
interest in the Collateral granted to Secured Party by Debtor as security for
payment of the indebtedness, as fully described in the Agreement.

         8. Except as modified herein, all other provisions of the Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents remain unmodified and are in full force and
effect.

         18. This Amendment No. 1 shall be governed by the laws of the
State of
New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment No. 1 as of the day
and year first above written.
