SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. The Credit

the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, hereby amended as
follows:
(a) The definition of "RECEIVABLES FINANCING FACILITY"
contained in Section 1.01 is hereby amended by inserting immediately
after the words "replacement thereof" occurring in the second line of
such definition, the phrase "or other receivables financing".
(b) Section 5.02(d)(v) is hereby amended by deleting the
phrase "substantially as conducted on the date hereof" occurring in the

SECTION 3. REFERENCE TO AND EFFECT ON THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND

of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case as amended by this
Amendment.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any
of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the
Loan Documents.
SECTION 4. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this

by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Amendment to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized,
