--------------------
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have heretofore entered into a Revolving Credit

WHEREAS, the Bank parties hereto have previously confirmed agreement to
provide the respective Commitments listed on the signature pages hereof to the
Company until December 6, 1999, subject to earlier termination as provided in

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement to restate and
reaffirm the respective Commitments of the Banks and the definition of Revolving
Period Termination Date;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1 RESTATEMENT OF COMMITMENTS. With effect from and including the date
this Amendment becomes effective in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof, the
Commitment of each Bank shall be the amount set forth opposite the name of such
Bank on the signature pages hereof, as such amount may be reduced from time to
time pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Agreement.
SECTION 2 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 13. The definition of "Revolving Period
Termination Date" set forth in Section 13 of the Agreement is amended by
changing the date therein from "December 8, 1998" to "December 6, 1999".
SECTION 3 GENERAL
3.1 DEFINITIONS. All terms used in this Agreement with an initial
capital letter and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Credit Agreement.
3.2 OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement remain in full force and effect and are unchanged by this Agreement.
3.3 GOVERNING LAW. This Amendment shall be a contract made under and
governed by the internal laws of the State of Ohio. Wherever possible each
provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment
shall be prohibited by or invalid
2
under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Amendment. All obligations of the Company
and rights of the Bank and any other holders of the Notes expressed herein or in
the Notes shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by
applicable law.
3.4 COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such counterpart
shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument. When counterparts executed by all
the parties shall have been lodged with the Company (or, in the case of the Bank
as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Company
shall have received telegraphic, telex, or other written confirmation from the
Bank of execution of a counterpart hereof by the Bank), this Agreement shall
become effective as of the date hereof.
