                  (a) Counterparts of this Amendment shall have been executed
         and delivered to Administrative Agent by the Company, Administrative
         Agent, and the Determining Lenders or when Administrative Agent shall

PARAGRAPH 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

provided in this Amendment, and are hereby ratified and confirmed. On and after
the Amendment Effective Date, all references to the "TERM LOAN AGREEMENT" shall
be to the Term Loan Agreement as herein amended. The execution, delivery, and
effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein,

other provision of the Loan Papers.

         4.2 REFERENCE TO MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. This Amendment and the other
documents delivered pursuant to this Amendment are part of the Loan Papers
referred to in the Term Loan Agreement, and the provisions relating to Loan

rendered in connection with the preparation, negotiation, reproduction,
execution, and delivery of this Amendment.

         4.4 COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in a number of
identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all
purposes, and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in
making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account
for more than one such counterpart. It is not necessary that all parties execute
the same counterpart so long as identical counterparts are executed by the
Company, each Determining Lender, and Administrative Agent.

         Executed as of the date first above written, but effective as of the
Amendment Effective Date.
