The Lenders and the Credit Parties agree that Section 7.13 of the Credit

                  7.13 INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENT.

                  The Borrowers shall enter into interest rate protection
         agreements protecting against fluctuations in interest rates, which the
         material terms are reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, each for a
         duration of at least four years (except for the $25,000,000 interest
         rate protection agreement entered into by the Borrowers on October 27,
         1999, which is for a term of four years, but is cancelable after two

         Borrowers shall not have any obligation to keep such interest rate
         protection agreements in place after repayment in full of the Term
         Loans.

All references in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the
"Credit Agreement" shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended
hereby.
