        Push-Down and the transactions contemplated hereby.



             (e) All corporate and other proceedings, and all documents,
        instruments and other legal matters in connection with the transactions
        contemplated by this First Amendment shall be satisfactory in form and
        substance to the Administrative Agent.



             5.  Representations and Warranties. After giving effect to the
     amendments contained herein, on the Effective Date, each of Details
