1. Limited Waivers. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions

(a) compliance by the Borrower, as of June 30, 1999, with each of the financial
condition covenants contained in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement; and
(b) the provisions contained in Section 8(f) of the Credit Agreement, provided
that no enforcement action is taken by any holder of any Indebtedness referred
to in Section 8(f).
1
Such waiver shall automatically, and without any action, notice, demand or any
other occurrence, expire as of the end of the Waiver Period. Upon the expiration
of the Waiver Period, (i) the Banks and the Agent shall retain all of the rights
and remedies relating to the Specified Defaults, (ii) each Specified Defaults

including the monthly period ended June 30, 1999, and (iii) any obligations of
the Banks to make Revolving Credit Loans, of the Swingline Bank to make
Swingline Loans or of the Issuing Bank to issue, extend or renew Letters of
Credit shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit
Agreement, including, without limitation, the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 5.2 thereof.
2. Other Defaults. The waiver set forth in Section 1 shall apply only
to the Specified Defaults. No waiver with respect to any other Default or Event
of Default, whether presently existing or hereafter arising, is granted hereby.
Any obligation of the Banks to make Revolving Credit Loans, of the Swingline
Bank to make Swingline Loans or of the Issuing Bank to issue, extend or renew
any Letters of Credit shall at all times be subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement,
exclusive, during the Waiver Period, of those conditions precedent relating to
whether or not there are Specified Defaults. The Banks and the Agent shall, at
all times, retain all of the rights and remedies in respect of any Default or
Event of Default under the Credit Agreement other than, during the Waiver
Period, the Specified Defaults.
3. Limitations on Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit. The Borrower
hereby agrees that during the Waiver Period it will not, without the prior
written consent of the Banks, cause or permit the aggregate amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans to exceed an amount equal to
$21,500,000. The Borrower further agrees that during the Waiver Period (a) the
Borrower will not request that the Issuing Bank issue or extend any Letter of
Credit and (b) if the Borrower requests the Issuing Bank to renew any Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank will have no obligation to do so.
4. Interest. The Borrower hereby agrees, for the period during and
after the Waiver Period, that any and all Revolving Credit Loans made after June
30, 1999, shall consist only of Alternate Base Rate Loans. Any Eurodollar Loans
outstanding as of June 30, 1999, shall convert to Alternate Base Rate Loans at
the end of the Eurodollar Interest Periods then applicable thereto.
5. Confirmation of Obligations. The Borrower hereby confirms that the
obligations of the Borrower arising under each of the Loan Documents to which it
is a party, including Indebtedness consisting of Revolving Credit Loans,
Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, are included in the Obligations, constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and are not subject to any claims
or defenses whatsoever. Each Guarantor hereby confirms that the obligations of
such Guarantor arising under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party
are included in the Obligations, constitute valid and binding obligations of
such Guarantor and are not subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever.
2

investment property, upon the terms of the OI Security Agreement or (as the case
may be) such Subsidiary Security Agreement as amended by this ss.6.

prejudice, impair or effect any rights or remedies of the Agent and the Banks
under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. This Amendment shall
