This Eighth Amendment to Loan Agreement,

(collectively, "Borrowers").
The parties agree that the Agreement
shall be amended as follows:

forth in Section 1.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and the
following definition shall be substituted in its place:
"Base Rate" means the CB Floating Rate.

deleted in its entirety and the following definition shall be substituted in its
place:
"Revolving Credit Termination
Date" means January

parties hereto.
3. The following definitions shall
be added to Section 1.1 of the Agreement:
"Adjusted One Month LIBOR
Rate" means, with
respect to a CB Floating Rate Advance for any day, the sum of (i) 2.50% per
annum plus (ii) the quotient of (a) the interest rate determined by the Bank by
reference to the Page to be the rate at approximately 11 :00 a.m. London time,
on such date or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately
preceding Business Day for dollar deposits with a maturity equal to one (1)
month, divided by (b) one minus the Reserve Requirement (expressed as a decimal)
applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market with a maturity
equal to one (1) month.
"CB Floating Rate" means the Prime Rate;
provided that the CB Floating Rate shall, on any
day, not be less than the Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate. The CB Floating Rate is
a variable rate and any change in the CB Floating Rate due to any change in the
Prime Rate or the Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate is effective from and including
the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Adjusted One Month
LIBOR Rate, respectively.
"Prime Rate" means the rate of interest per annum
announced from time to time by the Bank as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is a
variable rate and each change in the Prime Rate is effective from and including

purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits
in the London interbank market.
"Reserve Requirement" means the maximum aggregate reserve
requirement (including all basic, supplemental, marginal and other reserves)
which is imposed under Regulation D.

Coverage Ratio" in Section 1.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its
entirety, and the following definition shall be substituted in its place:
"Debt Service Coverage
Ratio" means the
ratio, calculated on a consolidated basis of the Parent as of the end of each
calendar quarter for the previous four (4) calendar quarters, of net income
before taxes, plus interest expense, plus depreciation expense, plus
amortization expense, minus Capital Expenditures which were not financed with
long term debt, minus taxes paid, minus Distributions, for the calendar quarter
then ending, to principal payments made on long term debt, plus capitalized
lease payments made, plus scheduled principal and interest payments on
Subordinated Debt (whether or not made), plus interest expense, for said
calendar quarter.
6. Except as specifically amended
herein the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with
its original terms. Reference to this specific Amendment need not be made in any
note, document, letter, certificate, the Agreement itself, or any communication
issued or made pursuant to or with respect to the Agreement, any reference to
