Agent, Lenders and Borrowers are parties to a certain Revolving Credit and
Security Agreement dated January 8, 1999 (as amended at any time, the "Credit
Agreement") pursuant to which Lenders have made certain revolving credit loans
and other extensions of credit to Borrowers.
The parties desire to amend the Credit Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
severally acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless
-----------
otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Credit Agreement.
2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the
------------------------------
condition precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended as follows:
a. By deleting the definitions of "Applicable Margin," "Compliance
Certificate" and "Maximum Revolving Advance Amount" from Section 1.2 of the
Credit Agreement and inserting the following in lieu thereof:
"Applicable Margin" shall mean percentage equal to three and
one-quarter percent
(3.25%) for Eurodollar Rate Loans and one-half percent (0.50%) for Domestic
Rate Loans; provided that, commencing on January 1, 2003, if there exists
no Default or Event of Default, then the Margin Fee shall be increased or
decreased based upon the Pricing Formula Ratio as set forth on Exhibit E.
----------
The Applicable Margin shall be subject to reduction or increase, as
applicable and as set forth in the table above, on a quarterly basis
according to the performance of Borrowers as measured by the Pricing
Formula Ratio for the immediately preceding four (4) Fiscal Quarters of
Borrowers. Except as set forth in the last sentence hereof, any such
increase or reduction in the Applicable Margin provided for herein shall be
effective three (3) Business Days after receipt by Lender of the applicable
financial statements and corresponding calculations; provided, however,
-------- -------
that any reduction in the Applicable Margin shall not apply to any LIBOR
Loans outstanding on the effective date of such reduction that have an
Interest Period commencing prior to the effective date of such reduction.
If the financial statements and the corresponding calculations of Borrowers
setting forth the Pricing Formula Ratio are not received by Agent by the
date required pursuant to Sections 9.7 and 9.8 of the Agreement, the
Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Formula Ratio is
less than 1.00 to 1.00 until such time as such financial statements and
corresponding calculations are received and any Event of Default resulting
from a failure timely to deliver such financial statements or Compliance
Certificate is waived in writing; provided, however, that nothing herein
-------- -------
shall be deemed to prevent Lenders from charging interest at the Default
Rate for so long as an Event of Default exists. For the final Fiscal
Quarter of any Fiscal Year of Borrowers, Borrowers may provide the
unaudited financial statements of Borrowers, subject only to year-end
adjustments, for the purpose of determining the Applicable Margin;
provided, however, that if, upon delivery of the annual audited financial
-------- -------
statements required to be submitted by Borrowers pursuant to Section 9.7 of
the Agreement, Borrowers have not met the criteria for reduction of the
Applicable Margin pursuant to the terms hereinabove for the final Fiscal
Quarter of the Fiscal Year of Borrowers then ended, then (a) such
Applicable Margin reduction shall be terminated and, effective on the first
day of the month following receipt by Agent of such audited financial
statements, the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Margin that would
have been in effect if such reduction had not been implemented based upon
the unaudited financial statements of Borrowers for the final Fiscal
Quarter of the Fiscal Year of Borrowers then ended, and (b) Borrowers shall
pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, on the first day of
the month following receipt by Agent of such audited financial statements,
an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest that would
have been paid on the principal amount of the Obligations using the
Applicable Margin determined based upon such udited financial statements
and the amount of interest actually paid during the period in which the
reduction of the Applicable Margin was, in effect, based upon the unaudited
financial statements for the final Fiscal Quarter of the Fiscal Year of
Borrowers then ended.
"Compliance Certificate" shall mean a compliance certificate to be
signed by the chief financial officer of Borrowing Agent, which shall state
that, based on an examination sufficient to permit him to make an informed
statement, no Default or Event of Default exists, or if such is not the
case, specifying such Default or Event of Default, its nature,
-2-
when it occurred, whether it is continuing and the steps being taken by
Borrowers with respect to such default and, such certificate shall have
appended thereto calculations which set forth Borrowers' compliance with
the requirements or restrictions imposed by Sections 6.5, 6.10, 6.11, 7.6
and 7.11 hereof.
"Maximum Revolving Advance Amount" shall mean $75,000,000.

delivered to Agent the financial statements required by Section 6.8
together with a Compliance Certificate for the most recent Fiscal Quarter
evidencing that Borrowers have maintained a Pricing Formula Ratio of at
least 1 to 1 for the period of four (4) Fiscal Quarters ending on the last
of such Fiscal Quarter.
c. By deleting Section 2.1(a)(y)(ii) of the Credit Agreement and
inserting the following in lieu thereof:
