March 31, 2003 2.75 to 1.00
June 30, 2003 and thereafter 2.50 to 1.00
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the

Restricted Subsidiaries' compliance with this Section, the Public
Hub Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries' adjustment of
earnings for the 2001 fiscal year (which was an aggregate earnings
adjustment of $1,800,000 for such year) shall be treated as if

pursuant to the Bank Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis
pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor
Agreement."

pursuant to the Bank Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis and
appointing Xxxxxx Trust and Savings Bank as collateral agent to
hold such Liens.
"UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Illinois as in effect from time to time.
Section 1.5. Section 11(k) of the Note Purchase Agreements shall
be and hereby is amended by substituting the period (".") at the end of
such section with a semicolon and the word "or" ("; or").
Section 1.6. Section 11 of the Note Purchase Agreements shall be
and hereby is amended by adding a new Section 11(l) immediately after
Section 11(k) to read as follows:
"(l) failure of the Obligors to comply with Section 5 of the Fifth

with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by

(b) the Note Purchase Agreements, as amended by this
Fifth Amendment, constitute the legal, valid and binding

relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally;
(c) the execution, delivery and performance by the
Obligors of this Fifth Amendment (i) has been duly authorized by

if made by the Obligors on and as of the date hereof (other than
any representation and warranty that expressly relates to a
specified earlier date, which was true and correct in all material
-5-
respects as of such date); provided, that, notwithstanding any
reference in Sections 5.4(c) and 5.4(d) of the Note Purchase
Agreements to the Restricted Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.4

warranties hereby made by the Obligors with reference to Sections

(f) the statements and information furnished to the

ending June 30, 2002, which failures constitute Events of Default under the
Note Purchase Agreements, shall be deemed to have been waived by the
Noteholders for the period beginning on and including the date upon which
this Amendment becomes effective to but not including November 1, 2002. The
Obligors understand and agree that the waiver contained in this Section 3.1
pertains only to the matters and to the extent herein described and not to

have arising by virtue of any such other actions or matters.
Section 3.2. In consideration of the waiver set forth in Section
3.1 hereof, the Obligors hereby covenant and agree that any funds received
by or on behalf of the Obligors in connection with a refinancing of the

to an offer to prepay pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase
Agreements.

and payable to each Noteholder upon the effectiveness of this
Amendment;
(e) the Bank Credit Agreement shall have been amended in

shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders and their
