(c) Section 2.01(f) is amended in full to read as follows:
"(f) The Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank
severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is a commercial
bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit (the "LETTERS
OF CREDIT") in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency for the
account of the U.S. Borrower from time to time on any Business
Day during the period from the date hereof until 5 days before
the Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for
all Letters of Credit (in the case of a Letter of Credit
issued in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other than
Dollars, the Equivalent in Dollars of such Applicable Letter
of Credit Currency) not to exceed at any time the lesser of
(x) the Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) such
Issuing Bank's Letter of Credit Commitment at such time and
(ii) for each such Letter of Credit (in the case of a Letter
of Credit issued in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency
other than Dollars, the Equivalent in Dollars of such
Applicable Letter of Credit Currency) not to exceed the Unused
Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders
at such time. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration
date (including all rights of the U.S. Borrower or the
beneficiary to require renewal) later than 5 days before the
Termination Date and (A) in the case of a Standby Letter of
Credit, 25 months after the date of issuance thereof, but may
by its terms be renewable annually upon notice (a "NOTICE OF
RENEWAL") given to the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby
Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent on or prior to
any date for notice of renewal set forth in such Letter of
Credit but in any event at least three Business Days prior to
the date of the proposed renewal of such Standby Letter of
Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
forth in Article III unless such Issuing Bank has notified the
U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or
prior to the date for notice of termination set forth in such
Letter of Credit but in any event at least 30 Business Days
prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to
renew such Standby Letter of Credit (a "NOTICE OF
TERMINATION") and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit,
180 days after the date of issuance thereof; provided that the
terms of each Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically
renewable annually shall (x) require the Issuing Bank that
issued such Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary
named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of any Notice of
Termination, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such
notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to
the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have
been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration
date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby
Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later
than 5 days before the Termination Date. If either a Notice of
Renewal is not given by the U.S. Borrower or a Notice of
Termination is given by the relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to
the immediately preceding sentence, such Standby Letter of
Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would
have been automatically renewed; provided, however, that even
in the absence of receipt of a Notice of Renewal the relevant
Issuing Bank may in its discretion, unless instructed to the
contrary by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower,
6
deem that a Notice of Renewal had been timely delivered and in
such case, a Notice of Renewal shall be deemed to have been so
delivered for all purposes under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit may expire
after the Termination Date if on or prior to the Termination
Date (i) it is cash collateralized in an amount equal to (A)
105% of the amount of such Letter of Credit, plus (B) any
additional amounts owing under such Letter of Credit, (ii) a
"back-stop" letter of credit is issued in respect of such
Letter of Credit on terms and from an issuer satisfactory to
the Issuing Bank thereof and the Administrative Agent or (iii)
other arrangements are made that are satisfactory to each
Revolving Credit Lender, the Issuing Bank thereof and the
Administrative Agent. Within the limits of the Letter of
Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above,
the U.S. Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit under this Section 2.01(f), repay any Letter of Credit
Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to
Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters
of Credit under this Section 2.01(f)."
(d) Section 2.02(a) is amended by deleting the proviso at the
end thereof and replacing it with the following new proviso:
"provided, however, that, in the case of any
Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate
principal amount of any Letter of Credit Advances made by any
Issuing Bank and by any other Revolving Credit Lender and
outstanding on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,
plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such
date, available to such Issuing Bank and such other Revolving
Credit Lenders for repayment of such Letter of Credit
Advances."
(e) Section 2.03 is amended in full to read as follows:
"SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and
Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for
Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice,
given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
tenth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance
of such Letter of Credit, by the U.S. Borrower to any Issuing
Bank, which shall give to the Administrative Agent and each
Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or
telecopier. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit
(a "NOTICE OF ISSUANCE") shall be by telephone, confirmed
immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier, specifying
therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall
be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of
Credit and the Applicable Letter of Credit Currency in which
the requested Letters of Credit is to be issued, (C)
expiration date of such Letter of Credit and whether such
Letter of Credit is a Trade Letter of Credit, (D) name and
address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E)
form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by
such application and agreement for letter of credit as such
Issuing Bank may specify to the U.S. Borrower for use in
connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "LETTER OF
CREDIT AGREEMENT"). If (x) the requested form of such Letter
of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole
discretion, (y) such Issuing
7
Bank has not received notice of objection asserting that the
conditions contained in Section 3.02 have not been satisfied
to such issuance from Lenders holding at least a majority of
the Revolving Credit Commitments and (z) the issuance of the
requested Letter of Credit is within the limits of Section
2.01(f), such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such
Letter of Credit available to the U.S. Borrower at its office
referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the
U.S. Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event
and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit
Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions
of this Agreement shall govern.
(b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly
thereafter furnish to each Revolving Credit Lender) on the
first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing
issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank during the previous week and drawings during
such week under all Letters of Credit and the average daily
aggregate Available Amount during the preceding week of all
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by any
Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall
constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by
such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall
be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. Upon
written demand by any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter
of Credit Advance to the Administrative Agent requesting
reimbursement from each Revolving Credit Lender for such
outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, the Administrative Agent
shall immediately send notice of such reimbursement demand by
facsimile to each Revolving Credit Lender. Upon receipt of
such reimbursement demand from the Administrative Agent, each
Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank,
and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such
Revolving Credit Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such
purchase (based, in the case of any Letter of Credit Advance
denominated in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other
than Dollars, on the Equivalent in Dollars at such time), by
making available for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's
Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of
the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit
Advance to be purchased by such Revolving Credit Lender
(based, in the case of any Letter of Credit Advance
denominated in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other
than Dollars, on the Equivalent in Dollars at such time).
Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall
transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. The U.S. Borrower
hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Revolving
Credit Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an
outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day
on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which
made such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is
given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.
(New York City
8
time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day
next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given,
to the Administrative Agent after such time. Upon any such
assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Revolving Credit Lender
of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank
represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Issuing
Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being
assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no
other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan
Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any
Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of
such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative
Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by
such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its
account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If
such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount
for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such
amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a
Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business
Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding
principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such
Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business
Day.
(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The
failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to
be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to
make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other
Lender on such date."
(f) Section 2.04(e) is amended in full to read as follows:
"(e) Swing Line Advances. The U.S. Borrower shall
repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing
Line Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made
a Swing Line Advance the outstanding principal amount of each
Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the earlier of the
tenth day after the date on which such Advance was made and
the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit
Facility, provided, to the extent the U.S. Borrower shall not
have repaid such Swing Line Advance on the tenth day after the
date on which such Advance was made, such Swing Line Advance
shall automatically convert into a Revolving Credit Advance,
accruing interest at the Base Rate."
(g) Section 2.04(f) is amended in full as follows:
"(f) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The U.S. Borrower
shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that
has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the earlier
9
of the tenth day after the date on which such Advance was made
and the Termination Date the outstanding principal amount of
each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them, provided,
to the extent the U.S. Borrower shall not have repaid such
Letter of Credit Advance on the tenth day after the date on
which such Advance was made, such Letter of Credit Advance
shall automatically convert into a Revolving Credit Advance
(based, in the case of Letter of Credit Advance denominated in
an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other than Dollars, on
the Equivalent in Dollars at such time), which shall be a Base
Rate Advance.
(ii) The Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other
agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall
be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of
Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under
all circumstances, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances (it being understood that any such
payment by the U.S. Borrower is without prejudice to, and does
not constitute a waiver of, any rights the U.S. Borrower might
have or might acquire as a result of the payment by any
Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the U.S.
Borrower thereof):
(A) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement,

instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing

of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of

of the L/C Related Documents;
(C) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other right that the U.S. Borrower may

which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may
be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person,
whether in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any
unrelated transaction;
(D) any statement or any other document
presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect;
(E) payment by any Issuing Bank under a
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit;
10
(F) any exchange, release or non-perfection
of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release
or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or
any of the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower in
respect of the L/C Related Documents; or
(G) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including, without limitation, any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the U.S.
Borrower or a guarantor."

"relevant" immediately before the phrase "Issuing Bank" in the last
sentence thereof.

thereof and replacing it with the following new paragraph:
"then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i)
shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required
Lenders, by notice to the U.S. Borrower, declare the
Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each
Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit
Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender
pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Advances by a
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) and of

Lenders, by notice to the U.S. Borrower, declare the Advances
and the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts
payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances and the
Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and
16
be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrowers, and; provided, however,
that, in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order
for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, (x) the Commitments of each Lender Party and
the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other
than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing
Line Advances by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section
2.02(b)) and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit
shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Advances and the
Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall
automatically become and be due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers."
(v) Section 6.02 is amended by inserting the word "relevant"
immediately before the phrase "Issuing Bank" in the last sentence
thereof.
(w) Section 7.01 is amended deleting the word "the"
immediately before the phrase "Issuing Bank" in the first sentence
thereof and replacing it with the word "an".
(x) Section 7.05(b) is amended in full to read as follows:
"(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify
each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by
the U.S. Borrower) from and against such Lender Party's
ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or
arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or
omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees
to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the U.S.
Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that such Issuing
Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by
the U.S. Borrower."
(y) Section 7.05(c) is amended in full to read as follows:
"(c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender
Parties' respective ratable shares of any amount shall be

aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such
time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount
of all Letters of Credit outstanding at
17
such time, (iii) the aggregate unused portions of their
respective Tranche A U.S. Term Commitments, Tranche A Euro

and (iv) their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments
at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of
Swing Line Advances owing to the Swing Line Bank and the
Letter of Credit Advances owing to any Issuing Bank shall be
considered to be owed to the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably
in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse any
Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon
demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid
by the Lender Parties to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any
other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse
such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its
ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to
reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
for such other Lender Party's ratable share of such amount.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of
each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive
the payment in full of principal, interest and all other
amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents."
(z) Section 9.01 is amended by deleting the second to last
proviso thereof and replacing it with the following new proviso:
"provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Bank or each
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in addition to the Lenders
required above to take such action, affect the rights or
obligations of the Swing Line Bank or of the Issuing Banks, as
the case may be, under this Agreement;"
(aa) Section 9.02 is amended by deleting the address of the

time; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall
be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an
Assignment and Acceptance. No processing or recordation fee
shall be due."
(cc) Section 9.09 is amended in full to read as follows:
18
"SECTION 9.09. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The
U.S. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of
any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with
respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any
Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be
liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any
Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary
or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or
all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c)
payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents
that do not comply substantially with the terms of a Letter of
Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or
(d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to
make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the U.S.
Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and
such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the U.S. Borrower, to the
extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered
by the U.S. Borrower that the U.S. Borrower proves were caused
by (i) such Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross
negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether
documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the
terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank's
willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and
certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility
for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary."
(dd) Schedule I is amended by (i) inserting opposite of
"Credit Suisse First Boston" under the caption "Letter of Credit
Commitment" the amount of "US$25,000,000.00" and (ii) deleting the
amount "US$50,000,000.00" set forth opposite "Xxxxx Fargo Bank Texas,
N.A." under the caption "Letter of Credit Commitment" and replacing it
with the amount of "US$25,000,000.00".
(ee) The Credit Agreement is amended to add Schedule IV
thereto which shall be as set forth in Schedule I hereto.
SECTION 2. Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, each Lender agrees to waive
the requirements of Section 5.02(b) of the Credit Agreement solely with respect
to the letters of credit issued by Credit Suisse First Boston to the U.S.
Borrower after the Effective Date and before the date hereof and agrees to treat
each such letter of credit as a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank under
the Credit Agreement for all purposes thereof and of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 3. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall
become effective as of the date first above written when, and only when, the

satisfactory to the Agent that such Lender has executed this
19
Amendment, (ii) the consent attached hereto executed by each Guarantor and each

Borrower from the first issuance of Senior Subordinated Debt after March 1, 2002
are not less than $150,000,000 and that all Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such
issuance have been applied as a voluntary prepayment in accordance with Section
2.06(a) of the Credit Agreement to permanently reduce the Facilities (without
taking into account any portion of accrued interest with respect to such Senior
Subordinated Debt pre-funded by the holders thereof). The effectiveness of this
Amendment is conditioned upon the accuracy of the factual matters described
herein. This Amendment is subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 of the
Credit Agreement (it being understood that the provisions of this Amendment
relating to the Letter of Credit Facility shall only become effective pursuant
to this Section 3 upon the execution of this Amendment by the existing Issuing
Bank).
SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower.

Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to
be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and
confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral
Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to
secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan
Documents, in each case as amended by this Amendment.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of any Lender or
20
the Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 6. Costs, Expenses. Each Borrower agrees to pay on
demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery and administration, modification and amendment of this
Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder
