Amendment No. 2 to Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
dated as of May 26, 1999 (as so amended, the "Original Loan
Agreement"; the Original Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and
as it may hereafter be further amended, modified or supplemented,
is hereinafter referred as the "Loan Agreement");
(B)The Borrower wishes to amend the Original Loan Agreement
to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate Total

Commitment Termination Date to May 23, 2003, and (iii) extend the
B Commitment Termination Date to May 23, 2001, and the Banks and
the Agent are willing to amend and supplement the Original Loan
Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
(C)Simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof,
Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the "New Bank") has agreed to make loans to
the Borrower in the amounts set forth opposite its name on its
signature page hereto and the Borrower desires to accept the
Total Commitment of the New Bank and to cause the New Bank to be
added as a "Bank" to the Original Loan Agreement as amended
hereby, and the Agent and the Banks are agreeable to the addition

(D)Certain of the Existing Banks desire to increase their
respective Total Commitment to the amount set forth opposite its
name on its signature page hereto and the Borrower desires to
accept such increased Total Commitment;
(E) Certain of the Existing Banks desire to reallocate
their respective Total Commitment (as between its A Commitment

its signature page hereto and the Borrower desires to accept such
reallocation of the Total Commitment of each of them; and
(F) All capitalized terms used herein which are not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed thereto in the Original Loan Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article 1. Change in Total Commitments.
Section 1.1 Total Commitments. From and after the date
hereof, for purposes of the Loan Agreement, the Total Commitment
of each Bank shall be the sum of the amounts set forth opposite
each Bank's name on the signature pages hereto as the same may be
reduced pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, and, with
respect to each Bank (other than the New Bank), such amount shall
supersede and be deemed to amend the amount of its respective
Total Commitment as set forth opposite its name on the signature
pages to the Original Loan Agreement.
Section 1.2 New Bank. The New Bank agrees with the
Borrower, the Banks and the Agent that (i) it will abide by the
terms of the Original Loan Agreement as amended hereby, and (ii)
the Loan Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit
of, and be enforceable by and against it.
Section 1.3 Adjustment of Outstanding Loans. If any
Loans are outstanding under the Original Loan Agreement on the
date hereof, the Banks shall on the date hereof, at the direction
of the Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves in
order to insure that the amount (and type) of the Loans
outstanding to the Borrower from each Bank under the Loan
Agreement (as of the date hereof) are proportionate to the
aggregate amount of all of the Total Commitments, after giving
effect to the additional Total Commitment of the New Bank, the
increased amount of the aggregate Total Commitments and the
reallocation of the amounts of the Total Commitment of certain of
the Banks. The Borrower agrees and consents to the terms of this
Section 1.3.
Article 2. Amendments to Original Loan Agreement; Third
Substituted Notes.
Section 2.1 The Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended

Article 1 of the Original Loan Agreement shall be deemed to refer
to the amounts set forth opposite each Bank's name on the
signature pages hereto.

appearing in Article 1 is amended by deleting the date "May 24,
2002 and substituting therefor the date "May 23, 2003".
(c) The definition of "B Commitment Termination Date"
appearing in Article 1 is amended by deleting the date "May 24,
2000" and substituting therefor the date "May 23, 2001".
(d) Subsection 2.12(c) (re Additional Interest) is
amended by deleting the amount "$140,000,000" in each place it
appears therein and substituting therefor the amount

(e) Section 2.13 is deleted in its entirety and there
is substituted therefor the following:
"(a) The A Loans made by each Bank shall be
evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower (each, a

annexed to Amendment No. 3 to Third Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement dated as of May 24, 2000 by and among the Borrower, the
banks signatory thereto and the Agent ("Amendment No. 3"). Each

of Amendment No. 3 and shall otherwise be duly completed. All A
Loans made by each Bank hereunder and all payments and
prepayments made on account of the principal thereof, and all
conversions of such A Loans shall be recorded by such Bank on the
schedule attached to the relevant Third Substituted A Note
(provided that any failure by such Bank to make any such
endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder or under such Third Substituted A Note in respect of
such A Loans).

evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower (each, a
"Third Substituted B Note" and, collectively, the "Third
Substituted B Notes") in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2
annexed to Amendment No. 3. Each Third Substituted B Note shall
be dated the date of Amendment No. 3, shall be payable to the
order of such Bank in a principal amount equal to such Bank's B
Commitment as in effect on the date of Amendment No. 3 and shall
otherwise be duly completed. All B Loans made by each Bank
hereunder and all payments and prepayments made on account of the
principal thereof, and all conversions of such B Loans shall be
recorded by such Bank on the schedule attached to the relevant
Third Substituted B Note (provided that any failure by such Bank
to make any such endorsement shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower hereunder or under such Third Substituted B Note in
respect of such B Loans).
(c) The Swing Line Loans made by the Swing Line
Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the
Borrower (the "Third Substituted Swing Line Note") substantially
in the form of Exhibit A-3 annexed to Amendment No. 3. The Third
Substituted Swing Line Note shall be dated the date of Amendment
No. 3, shall be payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in
a principal amount equal to the Swing Line Loan Commitment and
shall be otherwise duly completed. All Swing Line Loans made by
the Swing Line Lender hereunder and all payments and prepayments

Swing Line Lender on the schedule attached to the Third
Substituted Swing Line Note (provided, that any failure by the
Swing Line Lender to make such endorsement shall not affect the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Third
Substituted Swing Line Note)."
Section 2.2 In order to evidence the Loans and the Swing
Line Loan, as amended hereby, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to each Bank, as the case may be, simultaneously with the
execution and delivery hereof, promissory notes payable to the
order of such Bank in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1, A-2

and delivery by the Borrower of its applicable Third Substituted

delivered to it in connection with Amendment No. 2 to Third
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of May 26, 1999
"Replaced by Third Substituted Note" and return them to the
Borrower.
Section 2.3 (a) All references in the Original Loan
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the "Loan(s)", the "A
Note(s)", the "B Note(s)", the "Swing Line Note", the "Note(s)"
and the "Loan Documents" shall be deemed to refer respectively,
