BACKGROUND
A. Borrower, Agent and Lenders are parties to a certain Loan and Security
Agreement dated March 13, 2000 (as it has been, may herein or hereafter be
modified, amended, restated or replaced from time to time, the "Loan Agreement")
pursuant to which Borrowers established certain financing arrangements with
Lenders. The Loan Agreement and all instruments, documents and agreements
executed in connection therewith or related thereto are referred to herein
collectively as the "Loan Documents." All capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.
B. Borrowers have requested and Agent and Lenders have agreed to certain
modifications and amendments to the Loan Agreement subject to the terms and
conditions of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing background incorporated by reference and
made a part hereof, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Waiver. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and confirm that an Event of
Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement as a result of Borrowers' failure
to comply with the minimum Tangible Net Worth covenant contained in Section
8.3.2 on Schedule 8.3 of the Loan Agreement ("Existing Default"). Upon the
effectiveness of this Amendment, Agent and Lenders shall be deemed to have
waived the Existing Default provided that such waiver shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of any subsequent violations of the minimum Tangible Net Worth covenant
or a waiver of any other Events of Default which may have occurred but which are
not specifically referred to herein.
2. Amendment to Loan Agreement. Section 8.3.2 of the Loan Agreement
contained on Schedule 8.3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:
8.3.2. Minimum Tangible Net Worth. Borrowers shall maintain on a
Consolidated basis a minimum Tangible Net Worth of not less than
$325,000,000, at the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrowers, provided that
beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31,
1
2001, this amount shall be permanently increased by an amount equal to
fifty percent (50%) of Borrowers' Consolidated Net Income (to the extent
positive) for fiscal quarter.
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower represents and warrants as
follows:
a) The execution and delivery by such Borrower of this Amendment and
performance by such Borrower of the transactions herein contemplated (i) are and
will be within such Borrower's corporate powers, (ii) have been authorized by
all necessary corporate action, and (iii) are not and will not be in
contravention of any order of any court or other agency or government, of law or
any other indenture, agreement or undertaking to which such Borrower is a party
or by which the property of any Borrower is bound, or in conflict with, or
result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a
default under any such indenture, agreement or undertaking or result in the
imposition of any lien, charge or incumbrance of any nature on such Property of
any Borrower.
b) This Amendment and any other agreements, instruments and documents
executed and/or delivered in connection herewith shall be valid, binding and
enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.
c) After giving effect to this Amendment, (i) the representations and
warranties contained herein, in the Loan Agreement and in each other Loan
Document and certificate or other writing delivered to Agent or Lenders on or
prior to the date hereof shall be correct and accurate on and as of the date
hereof as though made on and as of such date (subject to the provisions of
Section 7.2 of the Loan Agreement); and (ii) other than the Existing Default, no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date hereof or
would result from this Amendment becoming effective in accordance with its
terms.
d) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any governmental authority or other regulatory body is required in
connection with the due execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower of
this Amendment or the performance by such Borrower of the Loan Agreement, as
amended hereby.
4. Effectiveness Conditions. This Amendment shall be effective upon
completion of the following conditions precedent (all documents to be in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Lenders and their counsel in
their sole discretion):
a) Execution and delivery to Agent by all signatories of this Amendment;
b) Other than the Existing Default, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and remain outstanding under the Existing Loan Documents;

2
5. Continued Effectiveness of the Loan and Security Agreement and Loan
Documents. Each Borrower hereby (a) confirms and agrees that each Loan Document
to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect
and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after
the date hereof (i) all references in the Loan Agreement to "this Loan and
Security Agreement", this "Agreement", "hereof", "hereto", "hereunder" or words
of like import referring to the Loan Agreement, and (ii) all references in any
other Loan Document to "the Loan and Security Agreement," the "Loan Agreement,"
"thereto," "thereof," "thereunder," or words of like import referring to the
Loan and Security Agreement shall mean the Loan and Security Agreement as
amended by this Amendment; and (b) confirms and agrees that to the extent that
any such Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to Agent, or to grant a
security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations
of Borrowers from time to time existing in respect of the Loan Agreement and the
Loan Documents is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Nothing herein
contained is intended to in any manner affect, impair or limit the validity,
priority and extent of Agent's existing security interest in and Liens upon the
Collateral.
6. No Waiver. Other than as specified herein with respect to the Existing
Default, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lenders have not
waived any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising.
Accordingly, this Amendment is without prejudice to Agent and Lenders and Agent
and Lenders reserve all of their rights under the Loan Agreement, the Loan
Documents, at law and otherwise regarding any Default or Event of Default (other
than the Existing Default) that may exist or hereafter arise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Lenders' making any future extension of credit
to Borrowers shall not be deemed a waiver by Lenders of any of their rights and
remedies under the Loan Agreement and the Existing Loan Documents and Lenders
expressly reserve their right to require, as a condition to any such future
extension of credit, that Borrowers fully comply with all terms and conditions
of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as amended hereby.
7. Amendment as Loan Document. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees
that this Amendment constitutes a "Loan Document" under the Loan Agreement.
Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement if (i) any
representation or warranty made by Borrowers under or in connection with this
Amendment shall have been untrue, false or misleading in any material respect
when made, or (ii) Borrowers shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant
or agreement contained in this Amendment.
8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York.
9. Expenses. Borrowers will pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution
and delivery of this Amendment, and each other agreement or document executed
and delivered in connection herewith.
10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same respective
agreement. Counterparts by facsimile shall bind the parties hereto.
3
11. Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS IN THE
NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
