WHEREAS, the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Banks have entered into
that certain Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 9,
1994 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Banks desire to amend
certain provisions of the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
-------------------------------
1.1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the
date of this Amendment, by deleting the definition "Banks" appearing therein in
its entirety and substituting therefor the following:
"`BANKS' shall mean, Fleet, FNBB, Mellon, and their respective
successors and assigns."
1.2. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended, as
of the date of this Amendment, by adding thereto the following new defined
term, such term to be inserted in the appropriate alphabetical order:
"`FEDERAL FUNDS RATE,' shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating interest
rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight
Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System
arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for
any day
-1-
2
that is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such
transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds brokers of
recognized standing selected by the Agent."
1.3. Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the
date of this Amendment, by deleting such Section in its entirety and
substituting therefor the following:
"Section 1.2. ACCOUNTING TERMS. All accounting terms used and not
defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, and all financial data required to be delivered
hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with such principles. If any
changes in accounting principles are hereafter occasioned by promulgation
of rules, regulations, pronouncements or opinions by or are otherwise
required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or
agencies with similar functions), and any of such changes results in a
change in the method of calculation of, or affect the results of
calculation of, any of the financial covenants, standards or terms found
herein, then the parties hereto agree to enter into and diligently pursue
negotiations in order to amend such financial covenants, standards or terms
so as to reflect fairly and equitably such changes, with the desired result
that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition and results of
operations of URC and its Subsidiaries shall be the same after such changes
as if such changes had not been made. If the parties are unable to agree
upon the amendments to any such financial covenants, standards or terms,
the parties agree to submit any remaining disputes to an independent third-
party accounting firm (having no substantial relationship with any party)
of national recognition selected by such parties for a determination of the
appropriate amendments to such financial covenant, standard or term, which
determination shall be binding upon the parties."
1.4. Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the
date of this Amendment, by deleting paragraph (e) of such Section in its
entirety and substituting therefor the following:
"(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, the
Borrower shall not be required to provide notice to the Agent of Advances
which are made in accordance with "target balance" services provided by the
Agent (each, a "Target Balance Advance"), and the minimum borrowing amounts
established under Section 2.2(a) shall not apply to such Target Balance
Advances. All Target Balance Advances shall be Prime Rate Loans unless
otherwise agreed by the Borrower, the Agent and the other Banks. The Agent
shall, to the extent practicable, notify each Bank on the date of any
Target Balance Advance of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such
Advance. Provided that the Agent has notified the Banks prior to 3:00 p.m.
on the date of such Target Balance Advance, each Bank shall make available
to the Agent before the close of business on such date, at the office of
the Agent specified in Section 15.3, in immediately available funds, such
Bank's Commitment Percentage of the Target Balance Advance. In the event
the Agent shall provide such notice after 3:00 p.m. but before the close of
business on the date of any Target Balance Advance, the Banks shall furnish
to the Agent their respective
-2-
3
Commitment Percentages of such Target Balance Advance prior to 11:00 a.m.
on the following Business Day, together with one days' interest thereon
calculated at the Federal Funds Rate (it being understood that as
between the Borrower and the Banks, interest shall commence to accrue on
the date of funding any Target Balance Advance on the full amount so
funded, notwithstanding the timing of funding by the Banks to the Agent)."
1.5. Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the
date of this Amendment, by adding thereto a new paragraph (g) as follows:
"(g) To the extent that any applicable law (including but not limited to
applicable laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer)
would render the full amount of any Loan Party's obligations under this
Section 2.12 invalid or unenforceable, such Loan Party's obligations
hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in
such invalidity or unenforceability."
1.6. Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the
date of this Amendment, by deleting such Section in its entirety and
substituting therefor the following:

any Loan pursuant to this Agreement, or to continue any Loan as, or convert
any Loan to, a LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be subject to compliance by each of

of each Loan as provided above, and the acceptance by the Borrower of each
such Loan, shall be
-3-
4
deemed a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the
conditions specified above in this Section 3.2 have been satisfied."
1.7. Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the
date of this Amendment, by deleting paragraph (f) thereof in its entirety and
substituting therefor the following:
"(f) other Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000
at any time, so long as on the date URC or any Subsidiary becomes liable
with respect to such other Indebtedness and immediately after giving effect
thereto, and to the concurrent retirement of any other Indebtedness, there
shall be no Default hereunder; and"
1.8. Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the date
of this Amendment, as follows: (i) by deleting the word "and" appearing at the
end of paragraph (e) of such Section; (ii) by deleting the period appearing at
the end of paragraph (f) of such Section and substituting therefor the phrase

effective as of the date hereof upon receipt by the Agent of a counterpart
hereof executed by the Required Banks and each of the parties hereto.

represent, warrant and agree that (a) all representations and warranties
contained in Article 5 of the Credit Agreement are true, correct and complete
in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as
though made on and as of this date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which
event they are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such
earlier date; and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing or will result
from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment which
would constitute a Default or an Event of Default.
