aggregate are not materially adverse, and to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date.

         (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers of this
Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (i) are
within the corporate powers of each Borrower and have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of such Borrower, (ii) do not require
any approval, consent of, or filing with, any governmental agency or authority,
or any other person, association or entity, which bears on the validity of this
Amendment and which is required by law or the regulation or rule of any agency
or authority, or other person, association or entity, (iii) do not violate any
provisions of any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award presently in effect in which any Borrower is named, or any provision of
the charter documents or by-laws of such Borrower, (iv) do not result in any
breach of or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which any
Borrower is a party or to which it or any of its properties are bound, including
without limitation any indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, debt
instrument or mortgage, except for such breaches and defaults which would not
have a material adverse effect on any Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a

assets or properties of any Borrower.

         (c) This Amendment, the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and the
other Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrowers, enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with their respective
terms, provided that (i) enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and (ii) enforcement may be
subject to general principles of equity, and the availability of the remedies of
specific performance and injunctive relief may be subject to the discretion of
the court before which any proceeding for such remedies may be brought.

         (d) No Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents is
existing as of the date hereof.

         SECTION 6. NO OTHER AMENDMENTS. Except as expressly provided in this
Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Note and
the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

         SECTION 7. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Amendment, it shall
not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed
by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
