AGREEMENT
Based upon these recitals, the parties agree as follows:
1. Amendment. Upon the Company satisfying the condition set forth
in paragraph 4 (the date that this occurs being called the "effective date"),
the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) The following definitions of the terms "Eurodollar
Business Day", "Eurodollar Interest Period", "Eurodollar Rate", "Eurodollar Rate
Loan", and "Floating Rate Loan" are added to Section 1.1 in alphabetical order:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Eurodollar Business Day" means, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate
Loan, a day which is both a Business Day and a day on which dealings in
Dollar deposits are carried out in the London interbank market.
"Eurodollar Interest Period" means, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate
Loan, the period commencing on the day such Eurodollar Rate Loan is
made or converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan and ending on the day which
is one, two or three months thereafter, as the Company may elect under
Section 3.1(a) or 3.5, and each subsequent period commencing on the
last day of the immediately preceding Eurodollar Interest Period and
ending on the day which is one, two or three months thereafter, as the
Company may elect under Section 3.1(a) or 3.5, provided, however, that
(a) any Eurodollar Interest Period which commences on the last
Eurodollar Business Day of a calendar month (or on any day for which
there is no numerically corresponding day in the appropriate subsequent
calendar month) shall end on the last Eurodollar Business Day of the
appropriate subsequent calendar month, (b) each Eurodollar Interest
Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Eurodollar
Business Day shall end on the next succeeding Eurodollar Business Day
or, if such next succeeding Eurodollar Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, on the next preceding Eurodollar Business
Day, and (c) no Eurodollar Interest Period which would end after the
Termination Date shall be permitted.
"Eurodollar Rate" means, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan and
the related Eurodollar Interest Period, the per annum rate that is
equal to the sum of:
(a) two percent (2%) per annum, plus
(b) the rate per annum obtained by dividing (i) the per annum
rate of interest at which deposits in Dollars for such
Eurodollar Interest Period and in an aggregate amount
comparable to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan are
offered to NBD by other prime banks in the London interbank
market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on the second
Eurodollar Business Day prior to the first day of such
Eurodollar Interest Period by (ii) an amount equal to one minus
the stated maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) of all
reserve requirements (including, without limitation, any
marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves)
that are specified on the first day of such Eurodollar Interest
Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor agency thereto) for
determining the maximum reserve requirement with respect to
eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as
"Eurocurrency liabilities" in Regulation D of such Board)
maintained by a member bank of such System;
all as conclusively determined by NBD, such sum to be rounded up, if
necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of one one-hundredth of one
percent (1/100 of 1%).
"Eurodollar Rate Loan" means any New Facility Loan or other loan
outstanding under the Outstanding Facilities, or portion thereof, that
bears interest at the Eurodollar Rate.
"Floating Rate Loan" means any New Facility Loan or other loan
outstanding under the Outstanding Facilities, or portion thereof, that
bears interest at the Floating Rate.
(b) The definitions of the terms "Automatic Termination Date",
"Interest Payment," and "Overdue Rate" in Section 1.1 are amended to read in
full as follows:
"Automatic Termination Date" means May 1, 1998.
"Interest Payment Date" means (a) with respect to any Eurodollar Rate
Loan, the last day of each Eurodollar Interest Period with respect to
such Loan and, in the case of any Eurodollar Interest Period exceeding
one month, those days that occur during that Eurodollar Interest Period
at intervals of one month after the first day of the Eurodollar
Interest Period, and (b) in all other cases, the last Business Day of
each month, commencing with the first such day after the Effective
Date.

Loans, a rate per annum that is equal to the sum of three percent (3%)
per annum plus the Floating Rate, (b) in respect of principal of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, a rate per annum that is equal to the sum of
three percent (3%) per annum plus the per annum rate in effect thereon
until the end of the then-current Eurodollar Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan and, thereafter, a rate per annum that is equal to
the sum of three percent (3%) per annum plus the Floating Rate, and (c)
in respect of other amounts payable by the Company hereunder (other
than interest), a per annum rate that is equal to the sum of three
percent (3%) per annum plus the Floating Rate.
(c) The second sentence of Section 2.5(a) is amended to read in full
as follows:
Unless such payment shall have been made on such day, upon
each such payment, NBD shall be deemed to have disbursed to the
Company, and the Company shall be deemed to have elected to satisfy its

bearing interest at the Floating Rate in an amount equal to the amount
so paid under the Letter of Credit.
(d) Section 3.1(a)(i) is amended to read in full as follows:

(ii) in the case of any Floating Rate Loan, on the date such Floating
Rate Loan is requested to be made, and (iii) in the case of any New
Facility Letter of Credit Advance, five Business Days prior to the date
such advance is requested to be made, which notice shall be

shall specify whether a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Floating Rate Loan, or
New Facility Letter of Credit Advance is requested and, in the case of
each requested Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Eurodollar Interest Period to
be initially applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, and, in the case
of each New Facility Letter of Credit Advance, shall include such
information as may be necessary for its issuance by NBD and shall be
accompanied by a fully completed standby letter of credit application
in NBD's customary form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
proceeds of each requested New Facility Advance shall be made available
to the Company by depositing the proceeds thereof, in immediately
available funds, in an account maintained and designated by the Company
at NBD's principal office.

The NBD Term Loan Agreement is further modified to provide
that, notwithstanding any provisions therein to the contrary, on and

from time to time in accordance with the procedures established under
this Agreement, and be payable on each Interest Payment Date (each
capitalized term to be used as defined in this Agreement).
(g) The last sentence of Section 4.3(a) is amended to read as follows:
Prior to such due date, the Company shall pay interest on the
reimbursement amount at the Floating Rate or at the Eurodollar Rate, as
the Company may request from time to time in accordance with the
procedures established under the Credit Agreement, on each Interest
Payment Date (each capitalized term to be used as defined in the Credit
Agreement)."
(h) Sections 3.5 and 3.6 are added as follows:
3.5 Subsequent Elections as to Loans. The Company may elect
(a) to continue a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a portion thereof, as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (b) to convert a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a
portion thereof, to a Floating Rate Loan, or (c) to convert a Floating
Rate Loan, or a portion thereof, to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, in each
case by giving notice thereof to the Bank in substantially the form of
Exhibit I hereto not later than 12:00 p.m. Noon Detroit time three
Eurodollar Business Days prior to the date any such continuation of or
conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan is to be effective and not later
than 12:00 p.m. Noon Detroit time one Business Day prior to the date
such continuation or conversion is to be effective in all other cases,
provided that an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted
on the last day of the then-current Eurodollar Interest Period with
respect to such Loan, and provided, further, if a continuation of a
Loan as, or a conversion of a Loan to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan is
requested, such notice shall also specify the Eurodollar Interest
Period requested to be applicable thereto upon such continuation or
conversion. If the Company does not timely deliver such a notice with
respect to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Company shall be
deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan to a
Floating Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Eurodollar
Interest Period with respect to such Loan.
3.6 Limitation of Requests and Elections. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, upon receiving a
request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.1(a), or a
request for a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a request for
a conversion of a Floating Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
pursuant to Section 3.5, (a) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan,
deposits in Dollars for periods comparable to the Eurodollar Interest
Period elected by the Company are not available to NBD in the London
interbank market, or (b) the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to NBD of making, funding or maintaining the
related Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) by reason of national or
international financial, political or economic conditions or by reason
of any applicable law, treaty or other international agreement, rule or
regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or
the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such
authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without
limitation exchange controls, it is impracticable, unlawful or
impossible for, or shall limit or impair the ability of, NBD to make or
fund the relevant Loan or to continue such Loan or to convert a Loan to
such a Loan, then the Company shall not be entitled, so long as such
circumstances continue, to request a Loan of the affected type pursuant
to Section 3.1(a) or a continuation of or conversion to a Loan of the
affected type pursuant to Section 3.5. In the event that such
circumstances no longer exist, NBD shall again consider requests for
Loans of the affected type pursuant to Section 3.1(a), and requests for
continuations of and conversions to Loans of the affected type pursuant
to Section 3.5.
(i) Section 5.2 is amended to read in full as follows:
5.2 Permitted Principal Payments. The Company may at any time
and from time to time prepay all or a portion of the New Facility Loans
in accordance with Section 3.1(b), without premium or penalty, provided
that (i) the Company shall have notified NBD not later than 12:00 p.m.
Noon Detroit time on the Business Day a prepayment is to be made, (ii)
the Company may not prepay any portion of any New Facility Loan as to
which an election for a continuation of or a conversion to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan is pending pursuant to Section 3.5, and (iii) unless earlier
payment is required under this Agreement, any Eurodollar Rate Loan may
only be prepaid on the last day of the then-current Eurodollar Interest
Period with respect to such Eurodollar Rate Loan.
(j) Clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.6 are amended to read in full as
follows:
(a) New Facility. The Company shall pay interest to NBD
on the unpaid principal amount of the New Facility,
from the date hereof until the New Facility is paid
in full, on each Interest Payment Date and on the
Termination Date, and thereafter on demand, at the
Eurodollar Rate, if the loan is a Eurodollar Rate
Loan, and at the Floating Rate, if the loan is a
Floating Rate Loan.
(b) NBD Term Note. The Company shall pay interest to NBD
on the unpaid principal amount of the Amended Term
Note, from the date hereof until the Amended Term
Note is paid in full, on each Interest Payment Date
and at maturity (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration, or otherwise), and thereafter on
demand, at the Eurodollar Rate, if the loan is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, and at the Floating Rate, if
the loan is a Floating Rate Loan.
(k) Sections 5.11 and 5.12 are added, to read as follows:
5.11 Illegality and Impossibility. In the event that any
applicable law, treaty or other international
agreement, rule or regulation (whether domestic or
foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or
not presently applicable to NBD, or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by NBD with any guideline, request or
directive of such authority (whether or not having
the force of law), including without limitation
exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or
impossible for NBD to maintain any Eurodollar Rate
Loan under this Agreement, the Company shall, upon
receiving notice thereof from NBD, repay in full,
either directly or through converting the relevant
Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Floating Rate Loan, the
then-outstanding principal amount of each Eurodollar
Rate Loan so affected, together with all accrued
interest thereon to the date of payment and all
amounts owing to the Bank under Section 5.12, (a) on
the last day of the then-current Eurodollar Interest
Period applicable to such loan if NBD may lawfully
continue to maintain such loan to that day, or (b)
immediately if NBD may not continue to maintain such
loan to that day.
5.12 Indemnification. If the Company makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan on
any other date than the last day of a Eurodollar
Interest Period applicable thereto (whether pursuant
to Section 5.1, Section 5.4, Section 8.2, or
otherwise), or if the Company fails to borrow any
Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice has been given to
NBD in accordance with Section 3.1(a), or if the
Company fails to make any payment of principal or
interest in respect of a Eurodollar Rate Loan when
due on any other date than the last day of a
Eurodollar Interest Period, the Company shall
reimburse NBD on demand for any resulting loss or
expense incurred by NBD, including without limitation
any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or
employing deposits from third parties, whether or not
NBD shall have funded or committed to fund such loan.
A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense,
prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by
NBD and submitted by NBD to the Company, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error in computation. Calculation of all
amounts payable to NBD under this Section 5.12 shall
be made as though NBD shall have actually funded or
committed to fund the relevant Eurodollar Rate Loan
through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an
amount equal to the amount of such loan in the
relevant market and having a maturity comparable to
the related Eurodollar Interest Period and, in the
case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, through the
transfer of such deposit to a domestic office of NBD
in the United States; provided, however, that NBD may
fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan in any manner it sees
fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized
only for the purpose of calculating amounts payable
under this Section 5.12.
(l) Exhibit B attached to this Amendment is substituted for
Exhibit B attached to the Credit Agreement.
(m) Exhibit I attached to this Amendment is added as Exhibit I to the
Credit Agreement.
2. References to Credit Agreement. From and after the effective date of
