The Borrower, BankBoston, N.A., Comerica Bank, LaSalle National Bank and the Agent entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of February 21, 1997, which Credit Agreement was (i) amended and restated as of March 18, 1997, (ii) further amended as of September 4, 1997, (iii) amended and restated as of November 26, 1997 to provide for, among other things, the addition of State Street Bank and Trust Company, SunTrust Bank, South Florida, National Association, and The Sumitomo Bank, Limited as Banks, (iv) further amended as of December 30, 1997, (v) further amended as of January 30, 1998, (vi) further amended as of March 18, 1998, and (vii) amended and restated as of July 27, 1998 to provide for, among other things, the addition of Fleet National Bank as a Bank to replace State Street Bank and Trust Company and The Sumitomo Bank, Limited (as so amended and restated, the "Credit Agreement"). The parties now wish to amend further the Credit Agreement to provide for certain changes to the Financial Condition Covenants set forth in Section 7.1 thereof and to make certain changes in the Applicable Margin, the Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Rate. NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent agree as follows: Section 1. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. Effective as of the effective date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: (a) The definition of "Pricing Grid" set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended by deleting such definition in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "Pricing Grid": the Applicable Margin, the Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Rate will be determined quarterly for the period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending on each FQED and will be as set forth in the following Pricing Grid: Consolidated Applicable Indebtedness to Margin for Applicable Consolidated Alternate Base Margin for Commitment Fee Letter of Credit EBITDA Ratio Rate Loans Eurodollar Loans Fee Rate --------------- -------------- ---------------- -------------- ---------------- Level (more than) 3.75 0.750% 2.750% 0.50% 1.875% ------ 1 to 1 ---------------- ------------------- -------------- ----------------- -------------- ---------------- Level 3.01-3.75 to 1 0.25% 2.250% 0.375% 1.500% ------ 2 ---------------- ------------------- -------------- ----------------- -------------- ---------------- Level 2.25-3.00 to 1 0.00% 1.875% 0.375% 1.125% ------ 3 ---------------- ------------------- -------------- ----------------- -------------- ---------------- Level 1.50-2.24 to 1 0.00% 1.500% 0.250% 1.000% ----- 4 ---------------- ------------------- -------------- ------------------ -------------- ---------------- Level (less than) 1.50 to 1 0.00% 1.250% 0.250% 0.750% ------ 5 ---------------- ------------------- -------------- ------------------ -------------- ---------------- Except as described in the next paragraph, pricing will be adjusted based on the Borrower's performance relative to the above grid, effective on the first day of the immediately following fiscal quarter. The Borrower's Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio must have changed from a given Level for at least two (2) consecutive quarters before pricing will be adjusted up or down (other than an adjustment arising from the issuance by the Borrower of publicly traded common stock). In the event that the Borrower's Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio changes Levels twice in two consecutive quarters (e.g., from Level 2 to Level 3 in one quarter, and from Level 3 to Level 4 in the next quarter), pricing shall adjust to the less beneficial (from the Borrower's point of view) of the two Levels attained during such two consecutive quarters. The Applicable Margin, the Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Rate shall remain at Level 1 for the period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending upon the Agent's receipt of the Borrower's financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1999 pursuant to Section 6.1(b), at which time pricing shall adjust, effective on the first day of the immediately following fiscal quarter, based on the Borrower's performance relative to the above grid. (b) The following definitions of "Senior Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Senior Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio" shall be, and hereby are, added to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement between the definitions of "Security Documents" and "Senior Subordinated Notes": "Senior Consolidated Indebtedness": at any particular date, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, Consolidated Indebtedness less the face amount of all Subordinated Indebtedness. "Senior Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio": at the end of any month, the ratio of (a) Senior Consolidated Indebtedness on such date to (b) Consolidated EBITDA for the immediately preceding twelve (12) months (ending on such date). Note: For purposes of Section 7.1(e) only (i.e. not for pricing under the Pricing Grid), the Borrower may add for such twelve (12) months (i) Consolidated EBITDA of any entity acquired in a Permitted Acquisition or identified in Note 1 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information contained in the Prospectus, plus any compensation paid by such entity to any shareholder of such entity during such period to the extent such shareholder is not continuing to receive compensation or consulting or similar fees from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries subsequent to the acquisition and (ii) any verifiable non-recurring expenses approved by the Required Banks. (c) Subsection 7.1(a) ("Maximum Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio") of the Credit Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended by deleting such subsection in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: (a) Maximum Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio.

Permit, as of the end of any month during each of the periods set forth below, the Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio to be less than the amount set forth below opposite such period: ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Period Interest Expense Ratio ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- During the period beginning on April 1, 1998 2.5 to 1 and ending on June 30, 1998 ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- During the period beginning on July 1, 1998 and ending on September 30, 1998 3.5 to 1 ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- During the period beginning on October 1, 1998 and ending on September 30, 1999 2.75 to 1 ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- During the period beginning on October 1, 3.0 to 1 1999 and thereafter ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- (e) The Credit Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended by adding the following Subsection 7.1(e) ("Maximum Senior Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio"): (e) Maximum Senior Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio.
