thereof) plus, with respect to each such facility, the lesser of
$6,000,000 or the then Available Basket Amount.
4. Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting the existing text thereof in its entirety and by inserting in lieu
thereof the following new text:
"(b) To the extent that any Net Offering Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds
are received by the Borrower, MOC or any Subsidiary, then on the date
of the receipt thereof (x) all Cash and Cash Equivalents (for this
purpose, the definition of "Cash or Cash Equivalents" shall be deemed
modified by deleting the rating requirements contained in clauses (iii)
and (iv) thereof) of the Borrower, MOC and the Subsidiaries which in
aggregate amount exceed $35 million (for this purpose, excluding any
such Cash or Cash Equivalents representing the Net Offering Proceeds or
Net Cash Proceeds received on such date) shall be applied to prepay
outstanding Tranche A Loans (until the principal amount thereof has
been reduced to $0) and (y) after giving effect to the repayment
required by preceding clause (x), an amount equal to 100% of the Net
Offering Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds so received shall be immediately
applied by the Borrower as follows:

5. USE OF PROCEEDS. Each of Sections 4.11 and 5.16 of the
Credit Agreement are hereby amended by deleting the last sentence thereof in its
entirety and by inserting in lieu thereof the following new sentence:
"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement, Tranche A Loans shall not be borrowed hereunder after the
Fourth Amendment Effective Date unless all proceeds of such borrowings

Subsidiaries and in the ordinary course of their businesses."
6. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. The following new Section 5.26, 5.27
and 5.28 are hereby added to the Credit Agreement immediately after Section 5.25
thereof:
"Section 5.26 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, PURCHASE OR SALE OF

permit MOC or any Subsidiary to, wind up, liquidate or dissolve its
affairs or enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, or
convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of (or agree to do any of the
foregoing at any future time) all or any part of its property or assets
(it being understood and agreed that, for all purposes of this Section
5.26, any liquidation or prepayment of any loan or loans, including
without limitation mortgage loans, owed to the Borrower, MOC or any
Subsidiary from any third Person for an amount less than par shall be
deemed to constitute an asset sale and shall be subject to the
requirements of following clause (vi)), or enter into any
sale-leaseback transactions, or purchase or otherwise acquire (in one
or a series of related transactions) any part of the property or assets
(other than purchases or other acquisitions of inventory, materials and
equipment in the ordinary course of business) of any Person, except
that:
(i) Capital Expenditures by the Borrower, MOC and the
Subsidiaries shall be permitted to the extent not in violation
of Section 5.28;
(ii) the Parent Companies and the Subsidiaries may
lease (as lessee and/or as lessor, but not as part of a sale
and leaseback transaction) real or

personal property in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with past practices;
(iii) the Borrower, MOC and the Subsidiaries may sell
and lease inventory (excluding Real Property Assets) in the

(v) the Borrower, MOC and the Subsidiaries may, in
the ordinary course of business, (1) license, as licensor or

third Persons and to one another; provided that in no event
shall this clause (1) be construed to permit the Borrower, MOC
or any of the Subsidiaries to (x) sell or transfer any
patents, trademarks, copyrights or tradenames to any third
Person or (y) grant an exclusive license to use any patent,
trademark, copyright or tradename , and (2) transfer or
license, as licensor or licensee, patents, trademarks,
copyrights and know-how to the Borrower, MOC and the
Subsidiaries;
(vi) so long as no Default then exists or would
result therefrom, the Borrower, MOC and the Subsidiaries may
sell assets to the extent not otherwise permitted under any
other clause of this Section 5.26, provided that (x) the
respective asset sale is made for consideration, consisting
entirely of cash (except as otherwise expressly permitted
pursuant to the proviso to following clause (y)), at least
equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by
management of the Person selling such asset) of the asset or
assets being sold, (y) in addition to the requirements of
preceding clause (x), the respective asset sale is made for
consideration, consisting entirely of cash, in an amount at
least equal to the net book value of the respective asset or
assets being sold at March 31, 2000, adjusted for depreciation
actually taken from March 31, 2000 until the date of the
respective sale; PROVIDED that (i) in connection with any
given sale of an asset or assets, the respective seller or
sellers (I.E., the Borrower, MOC and/or the respective
Subsidiaries) may accept consideration therefor (so long as
the fair market value test described in preceding clause (x)
is met) which is less than the net book value of the
respective asset or assets being sold as calculated above in
this clause (y) and/or may accept promissory notes as a
portion of the sale consideration therefor, in each case so
long as the sum of the aggregate discounts to net book value
and the principal amount or, if greater, fair market value (as
determined in good faith by management of the Person selling
the asset) of promissory notes accepted in connection
therewith does not (except to the extent permitted pursuant to
following clause (ii)) exceed an amount equal to 30% of the
net book value of the respective asset or assets being sold on
March 31, 2000 adjusted for depreciation actually taken from
March 31, 2000 until the date of the respective sale and (ii)
for all asset sales effected after March 31, 2000, discounts
to the net book value of the respective asset or assets being
sold and consideration
-5-
consisting of promissory notes (valued at the greater of the
principal amount thereof or fair market value thereof, as
determined in good faith by management of the Person
selling such assets) may be received, which are in
excess of the discounts and amount of promissory notes
permitted pursuant to preceding clause (i) (for this purpose,
ignoring the phrase "(except to the extent permitted pursuant
to clause (ii))" appearing therein) so long as the aggregate
discounts and amount of promissory notes (valued as described
above) for all asset sales justified pursuant to this clause
(ii) do not exceed $60,000,000 and (z) the Net Cash Proceeds
from all asset sales effected pursuant to this clause (vi) are
applied in accordance with the relevant requirements of
Section 2.10.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, in
no event shall any capital stock or other equity interests of any
Subsidiary be sold pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.26,
except that so long as the respective sale complies with the
requirements set forth above in this Section 5.26, 100% of the equity
interests of any Subsidiary owned by the Borrower, MOC and the
Subsidiaries may be sold to a person not an affiliate of the Borrower
or MOC in a transaction otherwise permitted by this Section 5.26.
Section 5.27 LIMITATION ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS HELD. The
Borrower will not, and will not permit MOC or any Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, hold any Cash or Cash Equivalents (for all
purposes of this Section 5.27, the definition of "CASH OR CASH
EQUIVALENTS" shall be deemed modified by deleting the rating
requirements contained in clauses (iii) and (iv) thereof), at any time
when any Tranche A Loan remains outstanding hereunder, in an aggregate
amount in excess of $35 million for a period of more than five
consecutive Domestic Business Days.
Section 5.28 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. (a) The Borrower will not,
and will not permit MOC or any Subsidiary to, make any Capital
Expenditures, except that during each calendar year, the Borrower, MOC
and the Subsidiaries may make Capital Expenditures which do not exceed
(x) in calendar year 2000, $75,000,000 and (y) in calendar year 2001
(prior to the Maturity Date) $60,000,000; provided to the extent the
aggregate Capital Expenditures made by the Borrower, MOC and the
Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (a) during calendar year 2000 are
less then $75,000,000, such excess may be carried forward and used to
make Capital Expenditures in the immediately succeeding year.
(b) In addition to the Capital Expenditures permitted to be
made pursuant to preceding clause (a), the Borrower, MOC and the
Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make Permitted Reinvestment Capital
Expenditures."
