of Net Leverage Ratio shall be made in accordance with the Credit Agreement
on the basis of (A) Total Net Debt as of such date and (B) EBITDA for the

the date on which financial statements (and as certified by an
accounting firm or Financial Officer of the Borrower on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of the respective Test Period being tested are made
available pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) To the extent the Designated Capital Call Investors are
prohibited by operation of law from making Investments in Investor LP

to any obligations of the Designated Capital Call Investors to make
payments to the Administrative Agent at any time pursuant to Section
2(a) above (the "Subject Obligations"), to the extent such payments
required to be made by the Designated Capital Call Investors pursuant to
Section 2(a) above on account of such Subject Obligations shall have
been made by the Designated Capital Call Investors and applied (or
deemed to be applied) in the manner described in the preceding
provisions of this Section 2(b) (i.e., by means of purchase by the
Designated Capital Call Investors from each of the Lenders of a
subordinated participation in such Lenders' outstanding Loans (including
such Lenders' participations in outstanding Swingline Loans and Letters
of Credit) in the manner described, and under the circumstances set
forth, in the preceding provisions of this Section 2(b)), no further

Investors pursuant to Section 2(a) above and applied (or deemed to be
applied) in the manner described in Section 3(a) hereof."

of the Borrower, promptly apply same directly to the repayment of Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.12(c) of the Credit Agreement (and in accordance with
paragraphs (b) and (d) of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement); provided
that if the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent notice that
the payments are to be applied to prepay outstanding principal of Swingline
Loans, Revolving Credit Borrowings and/or Growth Capital Borrowings, the
amount to be applied pursuant to this clause (ii) to repay Term Loans as
otherwise provided above shall be reduced by the amount to be so applied to
-11-
<PAGE>
such voluntary prepayments (in which event the Administrative Agent shall
directly apply such funds to make the requested voluntary prepayments)."
4. Section 17 of the Capital Call Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting clause (a) thereof in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the
following new clause (a):
"(a) This Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect (except to the extent
any party's obligations, if any, arising prior to such time hereunder
have not theretofore been fulfilled) upon the earliest of:
(i) the occurrence of a Category I Capital Call Event and the
making of all of the required payments, if any, by each of the

of Special Capital Contributions theretofore actually made and applied in
accordance with the definition of "Special Capital Contributions" set forth
in the Credit Agreement, shall be equal to $100,000,000, so long as all
related required payments of interest under Section 20 have theretofore been
made;
(iii) the first date after the last day of the fiscal quarter of
the Borrower ending closest to June 30, 2001 on which (x) no default in the
due performance on the part of any of the Designated Capital Call Investors
of any payment obligation relating to any Category I Capital Call Events or
Category II Capital Call Events (including any related interest under Section
20) shall exist and (y) at least $50,000,000 (as reduced by any Special
Capital Contribution Credits which have not been applied to reduce any
Category I Capital Call Amounts or Category II Capital Call Amounts) shall
have been theretofore paid and applied (including by way of purchase and sale
of subordinated participation interests) in accordance with Sections 2 and 3
hereof with respect to all Category III Capital Call Events, so long as all
related required payments of interest under Section 20 have theretofore been
made; and

the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, all Obligations shall have

Agreements, as the case may be, and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements
shall have been terminated."
5. Section 20 of the Capital Call Agreement is hereby amended by
inserting, immediately at the end of the first sentence thereof, the
following new proviso: "; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, if any of the Designated Capital Call Investors, Investor LP,
Holdings or the Borrower shall default in the payment of any Category I
Capital Call Amount or Category III Capital Call Amount, such person shall on
demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law,
directly to the Administrative Agent on such defaulted amount (except that
with respect to any such default in the payment of any Category I Capital
Call Amount, (A) interest thereon shall be determined pursuant to this
proviso only in respect of that amount which is the lesser of (i) such
Category I Capital Call Amount and (ii) the Maximum Growth Capital Amount (as
in effect at the time of the calculation of such Category I Capital Call
Amount in accordance with the terms hereof) and (B) interest thereon shall be
determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 20 without regard to
this proviso in respect of that amount, if any, by which such Category I
Capital Call Amount shall exceed the amount with respect to which interest
thereon is determined pursuant to preceding clause (A) of this proviso) for
the period beginning on the date of such default up to (but not including)
the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per
annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year
of 360 days) equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate
applicable to Growth Capital Revolving Loans maintained as ABR Loans
(assuming same are outstanding under the Credit Agreement) from time to time
and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans
(assuming same are outstanding under the Credit Agreement)."

Agreement or the addition of one or more Category III Capital Call Event Test
Periods as a result thereof.
