to read "SECTION 2.08. FACILITY FEE; UTILIZATION FEE", (b) adding "(a)"

that read in their entirety as follows:
"(b) The Company agrees to pay to each Bank, through the
Administrative Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31
(the first such payment to be made on March 31, 1999) and on the date on which
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank shall be terminated or the Maturity
Date, whichever shall first occur, in immediately available funds, a facility
fee surcharge (the "FACILITY FEE STEPUP") at a rate per annum (computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be) equal to the amounts set forth below based upon the ratings
applicable on such date to Index Debt on the average daily amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, whether used or unused, during the
Calendar Quarter (or shorter period ending on March 31, 1999 or the Maturity
Date, as the case may be) then ended; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount payable
by the Company under this paragraph shall be reduced by any amounts paid on
account of the Facility Fee Stepup pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof:
STEPUP
------
LEVEL 1
A- or better by S&P
A3 or better by Xxxxx'x .0200%
XXXXX 0
BBB+ by S&P
Baa1 by Xxxxx'x .0350%
XXXXX 0
BBB by S&P

XXXXX 0
BB+ or below by S&P
Ba1 or below by Xxxxx'x .0500%
[NYCorp;761880.7]

For purposes hereof, (i) if the ratings established (or deemed to have
been established, as provided in clause (ii) below) by Xxxxx'x and S&P
shall fall within different Levels, the rating in the inferior Level
shall be disregarded, unless one of the ratings is below Level 4, in
which case the Facility Fee Stepup will be based on the inferior of the
two Levels, (ii) if Xxxxx'x or S&P shall not have in effect a rating
for Index Debt (other than (a) because such rating agency shall no
longer be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations or (b)
as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx'x or S&P), then
such rating agency will be deemed to have established a rating for
Index Debt in Level 5 and (iii) if any rating established (or deemed to
have been established, as provided in clause (ii) above) by Xxxxx'x or
S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating
system of Xxxxx'x or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the
date on which it is first publicly announced by the applicable rating
agency. Each change in the Facility Fee Stepup shall apply during the
period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on
the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such
change. If the rating system of Xxxxx'x or S&P shall change, or if
either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating
corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Banks (acting through
the Syndication Agent) shall negotiate in good faith to amend the
references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such
changed rating system or the non-availability of ratings from such
rating agency. The Facility Fee Stepup shall commence on the Second
Amendment Effective Date.
(c) For any day on or after the Second Amendment Effective
Date on which the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall be (i)
equal to or greater than 33% but less than 66% of the Total Commitment
(or, following the date on which the Commitments terminate, equal to or
greater than 33% but less than 66% of the Total Commitment immediately
prior to such termination) or (ii) equal to or greater than 66% of the
Total Commitment (or, following the date on which the Commitments
terminate, equal to or greater than 66% of the Total Commitment
immediately prior to such termination) the Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a utilization fee
(such utilization fee payable pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, a
"UTILIZATION FEE") equal to the rate per annum applicable to such Loans
on such date plus (x) 0.125% in the case of clause (i) and (y) 0.25% if
any of Levels I through IV is applicable and 0.375% if Level V is
applicable in the case of clause (ii).
The Utilization Fees, if any, in respect of any fiscal quarter
shall be payable in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
shall be terminated or the Maturity Date, whichever shall first occur,
in immediately available funds; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount
payable by the Company under this paragraph shall be reduced by any
amounts paid on account of the Utilization Fees pursuant to Section
4.01 hereof. All Utilization Fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)."
SECTION 3. Amendment to Section 3.01 Section 3.01 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (a) relettering paragraph (f) thereof as
paragraph (g) and (b) adding a new paragraph (f) that reads in its entirety as
follows:
[NYCorp;761880.7]

"(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, each
Eurodollar Loan, each Certificate of Deposit Loan and each Term Federal
Funds Loan, in any case outstanding on or after the Second Amendment
Effective Date shall be subject to a margin surcharge (the "MARGIN
STEPUP") on any date in an amount equal to the rate per annum (computed
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days) equal to the amount set forth below based upon the ratings
applicable on such date to Index Debt:
XXXXX 0 XXXXX 0 XXXXX 0 XXXXX 0 XXXXX 5
S&P A- or better BBB+ BBB BBB- BB+ or below
Xxxxx'x A3 or better Xxx0 Xxx0 Xxx0 Xx0 or below
Margin Stepup .2300% .3150% .3850% .4350% .6750%
For purposes hereof, (i) if the ratings established (or deemed to have
been established, as provided in clause (ii) below) by Xxxxx'x and S&P
shall fall within different Levels, the rating in the inferior Level
shall be disregarded, unless one of the ratings is below Level 4, in
which case the Margin Stepup will be based on the inferior of the two
Levels, (ii) if Xxxxx'x or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for
Index Debt (other than (a) because such rating agency shall no longer
be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations or (b) as a
result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx'x or S&P), then such
rating agency will be deemed to have established a rating for Index
Debt in Level 5 and (iii) if any rating established (or deemed to have
been established, as provided in clause (ii) above) by Xxxxx'x or S&P
shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating
system of Xxxxx'x or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the
date on which it is first publicly announced by the applicable rating
agency. Each change in the Margin Stepup shall apply during the period
commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date
immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If
the rating system of Xxxxx'x or S&P shall change, or if either such
rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate
debt obligations, the Company and the Banks (acting through the
Syndication Agent) shall negotiate in good faith to amend the
references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such
changed rating system or the nonavailability of ratings from such
rating agency. The Margin Stepup on each Eurodollar Loan, Certificate
of Deposit Loan and Term Federal Funds Loan shall accrue from and
including the first day of the Interest Period with respect to such
Loan to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period."

Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the words "and any applicable
Margin Stepup" immediately following the words "(ii) the Applicable Margin" in
the thirteenth line thereof.
SECTION 5. Amendment to Section 4.01. Section 4.01 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (a) adding the words "and the Facility Fee
Stepup, in each case" immediately following the words "Facility Fees" in the

Utilization Fees" immediately following the words "Facility Fees" in the third
sentence.
