effect as if made on and as of the Amendment  Effective  Date (unless  stated to
relate  solely  to an  earlier  date,  in which  case such  representations  and
warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date).

     SECTION  4.2. Due  Authorization,  Non-Contravention,  etc. The  execution,
delivery and  performance  by each  Borrower of this  Amendment  Agreement,  the
Amended and Restated  Credit  Agreement,  the Notes and each other Loan Document

each other  Obligor of each Loan  Document  executed or to be executed by it and
each  such  Borrower's  and  each  such  other  Obligor's  participation  in the
amendment and restatement of the Original Credit  Agreement in the form of Annex
I hereto and the other transactions  contemplated  hereby and by the Amended and
Restated  Credit  Agreement  are  within  each  such  Borrower's  and each  such
Obligor's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action, and do not

          (a)  contravene  such  Borrower's  or  such  other  Obligor's  Organic

          (b)  contravene   any  material   contractual   restriction,   law  or

no  additional  authorization  or approval or other action by, and no additional
notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other
Person  is  required  for the due  execution,  delivery  or  performance  by any
Borrower  or any other  Obligor of this  Amendment  Agreement,  the  Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document to which it is a
party,  or,  except  to the  extent  such  failure  to so  obtain  or make  such
authorizations,  approvals or other actions could not  reasonably be expected to
have an adverse  effect on the interests of the Lenders  hereunder and under the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or a material
adverse  effect on the  business,  property,  operations,  assets,  liabilities,
condition   (financial  or  otherwise)  or  prospects  of  the  Parent  and  its
Subsidiaries,  taken  as a whole,  for  such  Borrower's  and  each  such  other
Obligor's  participation in the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit
Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto and the other transactions  contemplated
hereby  and by  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  and  the  other  Loan
Documents.  No Borrower nor any of its  Subsidiaries is an "investment  company"
within the  meaning of the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as  amended,  or a
"holding  company",  or a  "subsidiary  company" of a "holding  company",  or an

company",  within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended.

     SECTION 4.4. Validity,  etc. This Amendment Agreement constitutes,  and the
Amended and Restated  Credit  Agreement,  the Notes and each other Loan Document
executed by each  Borrower  will,  on the due  execution  and delivery  thereof,
constitute,   the  legal,  valid  and  binding  obligations  of  such  Borrower,
enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms; and
each Loan Document  executed  pursuant hereto by each other Obligor will, on the
due execution  and delivery  thereof by such  Obligor,  be the legal,  valid and
binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     SECTION 4.5.  Non-Impairment,  etc.  After giving effect to this  Amendment
Agreement,  neither the  modification  and  restatement  of the Original  Credit
Agreement  or any  other  Original  Loan  Document  effected  pursuant  to  this
Amendment Agreement nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of
this Amendment Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other
Loan  Document  impairs  the  validity,  effectiveness  or priority of the Liens
granted  pursuant to the Pledge  Agreement  and the Security  Agreement (as such
terms are defined in the Original Credit Agreement and as in effect  immediately
prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the "Original Security  Documents"),  and
such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all
Obligations,  whether heretofore or hereafter incurred. Neither the modification
and  restatement  of the Original  Credit  Agreement or the other  Original Loan
Documents  effected  pursuant to this  Amendment  Agreement  nor the  execution,
delivery,  performance or effectiveness of this Amendment Agreement, the Amended
and Restated Credit  Agreement or any other Loan Document  requires that any new
filings be made or other action  taken to perfect or to maintain the  perfection
of such Liens.  Under the foregoing  circumstances,  the position of the Lenders
with respect to such Liens, the Collateral (as defined in the Original  Security
Documents)  in which a security  interest  was granted  pursuant to the Original
Security Documents,  and the ability of the Administrative Agent to realize upon
such Liens pursuant to

the terms of the  Security  Agreement  and the  Pledge  Agreement  have not been
adversely  affected in any material  respect by the modification and restatement
of the Original Credit  Agreement or the other Original Loan Documents  effected
pursuant to this Amendment Agreement or by the execution,  delivery, performance
or  effectiveness of this Amendment  Agreement,  the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     SECTION 4.6. Compliance With Original Credit Agreement. As of the execution
and delivery of this Amendment Agreement and up to the Amendment Effective Date,
each Obligor is in  compliance  in all material  respects with all the terms and
conditions  of the  Original  Credit  Agreement  and  the  other  Original  Loan
Documents  to be observed or performed by it, and no Default has occurred and is
continuing.
