PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
(1) The Borrower, the Lenders named therein, and the Agents party hereto
entered into the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 1996 (the "CREDIT
AGREEMENT"; with the terms defined therein, or the definitions of which are
incorporated therein, being used herein as so defined).
(2) The Borrower, such Agents and the Lenders party hereto desire to amend
certain of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, all as more fully
set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS.
1.1. APPLICABLE RATE MARGINS--MPP LOANS. Section 1.8(g) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set forth below:
(g) As used herein, the term "APPLICABLE MPP BASE RATE MARGIN" means 0.00%
per annum and the term "APPLICABLE MPP EURODOLLAR MARGIN" means 1+1/8% per
annum; PROVIDED, that subsequent to the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended
nearest to September 30, 1996, the Applicable MPP Base Rate Margin and the
Applicable MPP Eurodollar Margin will change to the percentage rate per annum
indicated in the Pricing Grid tables which appear below, based on the ratio
referred to in section 8.12(a) or (b), whichever is applicable. Changes in the
Applicable MPP Base Rate Margin and the Applicable MPP Eurodollar Margin based
upon changes in such ratio shall become effective on the first day of the month
following the delivery to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) or (b)
of section 7.1 of the financial statements of the Borrower, accompanied by the
certificate referred to in clause (e) of section 7.1, demonstrating the
computation of such ratio, based upon the ratio in effect at the end of the
applicable period covered (in whole or in part) by such financial statements;
PROVIDED that if any such financial statements or the related certificate are
not timely delivered, the Managing Agent may determine the Applicable MPP Base
Rate Margin or Applicable MPP Eurodollar Margin for any MPP Loan based upon a
good faith estimate by the Borrower of such ratio as in effect at the end of the
applicable period to be covered (in whole or in part) by such financial
statements, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if upon delivery of such delinquent
financial statements and related certificate, such financial statements indicate
that such good faith estimate was incorrect and, as a result thereof, the
Applicable MPP Base Rate Margin or Applicable MPP Eurodollar Margin for any MPP
Loan was too low at such determination, the Applicable MPP Base Rate Margin or
Applicable MPP Eurodollar Margin for any MPP Loan shall be increased, as
appropriate, with retroactive effect to the date of the change made on the basis
of such determination, and the Borrower will immediately pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders all additional interest due
by reason of such increased Applicable MPP Base Rate Margin or Applicable MPP
Eurodollar Margin for any MPP Loan. Any changes in the Applicable MPP Base Rate
Margin or Applicable MPP Eurodollar Margin shall be determined by the Managing
Agent and from time to time, or promptly upon request, the Managing Agent will
provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Managing Agent pursuant to this
section 1.8(g) shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
