R E C I T A L S

B. Capitalized terms used herein shall, unless otherwise indicated, have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

C. Borrower, Lenders, and Administrative Agent desire to modify certain provisions contained in the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Amendments to the Credit Agreement.

(a) Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the definition of "Termination Date" in its entirety and replace that definition with the following:

"Termination Date" means the earliest date on which any of the following events occurs: (a) August 31, 2005; (b) the date that Required Lenders terminate their commitment to lend hereunder, after the occurrence of an Event of Default; or (c) such earlier date as may be agreed upon in writing by Company and Required Lender.

(b) Section 2.03(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(d) Facility Fee. Company shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, quarterly in arrears on the last day of the calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2003, a fee (the "Facility Fee") equal to 0.25% multiplied by the average unused, available portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment for the prior quarter, to compensate Lenders for keeping those unused funds available for the Company.

Third Amendment

(d) Applicable Margin. As used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, "Applicable Margin" means, as to the Loans, a rate per annum determined for each fiscal quarter during Company's Fiscal Year, beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2003, by reference to the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (also referred to herein as the "Interest Margin Factor") as of the end of the fiscal quarter (herein called the "date of determination"), and the type of Advance, as follows:

(i) if, on any date of determination, the following is met: the Interest Margin Factor is equal to or less than 1.00 to 1.0, then the Applicable Margin during the fiscal quarter following the date of determination, expressed as a rate per annum, shall be (0%) for Prime Rate Advances, and 1.25% for Eurodollar Advances; and if not, then

(ii) if, on any date of determination, the following is met: the Interest Margin Factor is greater than 1.00 to 1.0 and less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.0, then the Applicable Margin during the fiscal quarter following the date of determination, expressed as a rate per annum, shall be (0%) for Prime Rate Advances, and 1.5% for Eurodollar Advances; and if not, then.

(iii) if, on any date of determination, the following is met: the Interest Margin Factor is greater than 1.50 to 1.0 and less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.0, then the Applicable Margin during the fiscal quarter following the date of determination, expressed as a rate per annum, shall be (.125%) for Prime Rate Advances, and 1.75% for Eurodollar Advances; and if not, then

(iv) if, on any date of determination, the following is met: the Interest Margin Factor is greater than 2.00 to 1.0 and less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0, then the Applicable Margin during the fiscal quarter following the date of determination, expressed as a rate per annum, shall be (.25%) for Prime Rate Advances, and 2.25% for Eurodollar Advances; and if not, then

(v) if, on any date of determination, the following is met: the Interest Margin Factor is greater than 2.50 to 1.0, and less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.0, then the Applicable Margin during the fiscal quarter following the date of determination, expressed as a rate per annum, shall be (.375%) for Prime Rate Advances, and 2.50% for Eurodollar Advances; and if not, then

(vi) if, on any date of determination, the following is met: the Interest Margin Factor is greater than 2.75 to 1.0, then the Applicable Margin during the fiscal quarter following the date of determination, expressed as a rate per annum, shall be (.50%) for Prime Rate Advances, and 2.75% for Eurodollar Advances.

For Eurodollar Advances, the Applicable Margin for a Loan Year applies both to (i) Advances made during the current Loan Year and (ii) Advances outstanding during the current Loan Year that were made during a prior Loan Year.

Third Amendment

If the interest rate changes hereunder because of a change in the Applicable Margin, interest shall accrue at the changed rate beginning the first day of the month after the earlier of the date on which the Company provides, or by which it was required to provide, pursuant to Section 8.01(d) of this Agreement, the financial information necessary to determine the Applicable Margin.
