Agreement dated as of April 17, 2000 entered into by the Borrowers and AmSouth
Bank, Bank of America, N.A. and Fleet National Bank, as Lenders and AmSouth
Bank, as Agent for the Lenders, without which consent the Borrowers would be in
violation of Section 7.7(10) of the Credit Agreement.
6. Loan Documents to Remain in Effect. Except expressly amended herein,
----------------------------------
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and
effect in accordance with their respective terms.
7. No Novation, etc. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed
----------------
to constitute a novation of the terms of the Loan Documents, nor impair any
Liens granted to the Lender thereunder, nor release any person from liability
for any of the Credit Obligations, nor affect any of the rights, powers or
remedies of the Lender under the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision thereof.
8. Governing Law, Successors and Assigns, etc. This Amendment shall be

------------------------
Credit Agreement and shall be construed as if it is a part thereof for all
purposes. Any representation or warranty contained herein that is determined by
the Lender to have been misleading or untrue in any material respect at the time
made shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement as
if such representation or warranty had been contained in the Credit Agreement,
and any default by the Borrowers in the performance or observance of any
provision of this Amendment that continues unremedied after the grace period
described in Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of
Default under that section as if such provision had been contained in the Credit
Agreement.
