with the proceeds of a refinancing as to which Fleet National Bank is
one of the parties that may issue letters of credit thereunder) and the
Commitment hereunder is terminated, and (iii) the fee payable under
clause (e) of this paragraph will be waived by the Lenders if, prior to
the Facility Termination Date, all Letters of Credit and Bankers
Acceptances expire, are returned to the Agent for cancellation or are
secured with cash collateral in a manner satisfactory to the Agent
(except that such return and such cash collateral will not be required
if the Obligations are paid in full with the proceeds of a refinancing
as to which Fleet National Bank is one of the parties that may issue
letters of credit thereunder) and the Commitment hereunder is
terminated and the Obligations are paid in full in cash with the
proceeds from a refinancing provided by lenders that include the Agent
or an affiliate of the Agent, it being understood that nothing herein
is intended to or shall constitute a commitment by the Agent or any
affiliate of the Agent to provide any such financing and that any such
subsequent financing by the Agent or any affiliate of the Agent shall
be provided solely in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agent or
such affiliate of the Agent or in accordance with any binding
commitment letter that may (but need not) be hereafter issued by the
Agent or any such affiliate of the Agent.
2. The amendment set forth in Section 1 hereof shall become effective
as of the date that the following conditions shall have been satisfied (the date
that such amendments take effect being the "Amendment Effective Date"),
provided, however, that the amendments set forth in Section 1 hereof shall not
take effect unless such conditions have been satisfied on or before May 20, 2005
(i.e. not later than midnight, New York time, on May 20, 2005).
(a) The Lenders shall have executed this Amendment and shall have
received a copy of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the
Borrowing Subsidiaries and the Guarantors.
(b) The Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the $500,000 fee payable

of the terms, conditions, covenants, provisions, representations, warranties and
conditions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are
hereby acknowledged, ratified, confirmed and continued as if fully restated
hereby.
4. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision
hereof or contained in the Credit Agreement.
5. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Amendment shall
not constitute a novation and shall in no way adversely affect or impair
performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement.
6. Regardless of whether the conditions in Section 2 hereof are
satisfied and whether or not the amendments in Section 1 take effect, the
Borrower hereby confirms and ratifies the Obligations incurred by it and the
Borrowing Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the Borrower has no defense,
offset, counterclaim, or right of recoupment against the Agent or any Lender
with respect to any of such Obligations or any other matter.
7. This Amendment is to be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without regard to it conflict of
laws or choice of law principles).

which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties
thereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This
Amendment shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, each of
