its Assigned Interest, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement, it being understood
that the Retiring Lenders shall relinquish all such rights and be released from all such obligations.
3. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
3.1 Defined Terms.
(a) The term "Agreement," as defined in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement, is hereby amended to mean the
Credit Agreement, as amended and supplemented by this Fourth Amendment and as the same may from time to time be
further amended or supplemented.
(b) The term "Applicable Rate" is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
" `Applicable Rate' means, for any day, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, ABR Loan, or with
respect to the facility fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, subject to the two immediately
following paragraphs of this defined term), the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption
"Eurodollar Spread", "ABR Spread" or "Facility Fee Rate", as the case may be, based upon the ratings by
Xxxxx'x and S and P, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt:
Index Debt Ratings: Eurodollar ABR Facility Fee
------------------- ---------- --- ------------
(Xxxxx'x/S and P) Spread Spread Rate
------------- ------ ------ ----
Category 1 greater or = A3/A- 0.415% 0.0% 0.085%
Category 2 greater or = Baa1/BBB+ 0.525% 0.0% 0.100%
Category 3 greater or = Baa2/BBB 0.625% 0.0% 0.125%
Category 4 greater or = Baa3/BBB- 0.825% 0.0% 0.175%
Category 5 less than Baa3/BBB- 1.050% 0.0% 0.200%
For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if either Xxxxx'x or S and P shall not have in effect a rating for
the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the penultimate sentence of this
definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in the same Category as
the other rating agency; (b) if the ratings established by Xxxxx'x and S and P for the Index Debt shall fall
within different Categories, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one
of the two ratings is two or more Categories lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall
be determined by reference to the Category one rating higher than the lower of the two ratings; and (c) if
the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx'x and S and P for the Index Debt shall be
changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx'x or S and P), such change shall be
effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in
the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and
ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system
of Xxxxx'x or S and P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating
corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this
definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency
and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference
to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) the Eurodollar Spread and the ABR Spread, as otherwise determined as
above provided, shall increase by .50% for the period from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date to
the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending thereafter at which the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness
to Consolidated EBITDA, calculated as provided in Section 6.07(b), shall be equal to or less than 4.50 to
1.0, and (b) if at any time or from time to time at the end of any fiscal quarter ending thereafter (a
"Determination Date") the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, calculated as
provided in Section 6.07(b), shall exceed 4.50 to 1.0, the Eurodollar Spread and the ABR Spread, as
otherwise determined as above provided, shall increase by .50% for the period from and including the
Determination Date to the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending thereafter at which the ratio of
Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, calculated as provided in Section 6.07(b), shall be equal
to or less than 4.50 to 1.0; provided, for avoidance of doubt, that any increase pursuant to the
foregoing clause (b) shall occur, if at all, only after the increase pursuant to clause (a) has ceased to
be in effect."
(c) The term "Commitment" is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
" `Commitment' means, with respect to each Lender, the commitment of such Lender to make
Loans hereunder, expressed as an amount representing the maximum aggregate amount of such Lender's Exposure
hereunder, as such commitment may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.09 and (b) reduced
or increased from time to time pursuant to Section 2.01 or assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to
Section 9.04. The initial amount of each Lender's Commitment is set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the Fourth
Amendment, or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender shall have assumed its
Commitment, as applicable. The aggregate amount of the Lenders' Commitments on the Fourth Amendment
Effective Date is $230,000,000."
(d) The term "Conversion" is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows
" `Conversion' means the conversion of the outstanding Revolving Loans to Term Loans
pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.01(d), which conversion shall occur on November 14, 2003,
unless the Availability Period is extended pursuant to Section 2.01(c)."
3.2 Additional Defined Terms. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended and supplemented by adding
the following new definitions, which read in their entirety as follows:
" `Fourth Amendment' means that certain Fourth Amendment and Supplement to Credit Agreement
dated effective as of November 15, 2002, among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto and the
Administrative Agent.
`Fourth Amendment Effective Date' means November 15, 2002."
3.3 Amendment to Section 2.12. Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the
Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to
have any Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the
daily amount of such Lender's Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to
but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on
which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided
that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. All facility fees and utilization fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day). In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a utilization fee, which shall accrue and be payable on
Loans made hereunder at a rate of 0.125% per annum whenever the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding plus
amounts outstanding under the Multi-Year Credit Facility exceed 50% of the total Commitments plus the
Multi-Year Credit Facility Commitments.
(b) In the event the Borrower elects to convert the Revolving Loans to Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(d), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
term-out fee of 0.25% on the Loans of such Lender outstanding on the last day of the Final Availability
Period, payable on such date.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees, utilization fees,
participation and term-out fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances."
3.4 Amendment to Section 2.13(a). Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
"(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate."

the obligation of the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Fourth Amendment shall be conditioned

(b) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, as hereby amended
and supplemented, were true and correct when made, and are true and correct in all material respects at and as of the time of
delivery of this Fourth Amendment, except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case
such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.
6. Extent of Amendments. Except as expressly herein set forth, all of the terms, conditions, defined terms, covenants,
representations, warranties and all other provisions of the Credit Agreement are herein ratified and confirmed and shall remain in
full force and effect.
7. Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that
the signatures of all parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and same instrument.
8. References. On and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date:
(a) the terms "Agreement", "hereof", "herein", "hereunder", and terms of like import when used in the
Credit Agreement shall, except where the context otherwise requires, refer to the Credit Agreement, as amended and
supplemented by this Fourth Amendment.
(b) each Retiring Lender shall cease to be a "Lender" under the Credit Agreement.
(c) each New Lender shall be a "Lender" under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and each Lender

New York and applicable federal law.
