"Amendment"), dated as of March 22, 2000, is entered into between KATY

(the "Banks"), and Bank of America, N.A., as letter of credit issuing bank

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company, the Banks, and the Agent are parties to the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 11, 1998, as
amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of November 18, 1999 (the
"Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Banks have extended certain credit
facilities to the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company has notified the Agent and the Banks that the
Company will voluntarily reduce the Facility A Commitment and the
Commercial L/C Commitment; and
WHEREAS, the Company, the Banks, and the Agent now hereby wish to
amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, all as set forth in
greater detail below;
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

amount "$20,000,000."
(b) Amendment to Schedule 2.1. Schedule 2.1 of the
Credit Agreement is replaced with Schedule 2.1 to this Amendment. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent's nor the Banks'
present agreement to permit a reduction of the Facility A Commitment by an
amount other than that specified in Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement
shall be deemed to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate the
Agent or the Banks to permit a similar reduction under the same or similar
circumstances in the future except as provided in Section 2.5 of the Credit
Agreement.
(c) Amendment to Section 8.19. Section 8.19 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the ratios set forth therein
and replace them with the following:
Quarters Ending Maximum Leverage Ratio
Through September 30, 1999 3.50 to 1.00
December 31, 1999 through
September 30, 2000 3.25 to 1.00

Facility B Revolving Termination Date 3.00 to 1.00
3. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Agent and each of the Banks as follows:
(a) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate and other action and do not and will not require any registration
with, consent or approval of, notice to or action by, any person
(including any Governmental Authority) in order to be effective and
enforceable. The Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its respective terms, without defense,
counterclaim or offset.
(c) All representations and warranties of the Company
contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct as though made on and
as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and
warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they were
true and correct as of such earlier date).
(d) The Company is entering into this Amendment on
the basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons, without reliance
upon the Agent and the Banks or any other person.
4. Effective Date. This Amendment will become effective on
the first Business Day that each of the following conditions precedent has
been satisfied (the "Effective Date"):
(a) The Agent has received from the Company and the
Required Banks a duly executed original or facsimile of this Amendment,
together with a duly executed original or facsimile of a Guarantor
Acknowledgment and Consent in the form attached hereto.
(b) The Agent has received from the Company payment,
for the account of each Bank party to this Amendment, an upfront fee equal
to 0.05% of such Bank's Commitments as calculated after giving effect to
this Amendment.
(c) All representations and warranties contained
herein are true and correct as of the Effective Date.
5. Miscellaneous.

covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in

to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective
successors and assigns. No third party beneficiaries are intended in
connection with this Amendment.
(c) This Amendment shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the law of the State of California (without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws).
(d) This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
(e) This Amendment, together with the Credit
Agreement, contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties
hereto with reference to the matters discussed herein and therein.
This Amendment supersedes all prior drafts and communications with respect
thereto. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(f) If any term or provision of this Amendment shall
be deemed prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision
shall be invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this
Amendment or the Credit Agreement, respectively.
(g) Company covenants to pay to or reimburse the
Agent and the Banks, upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including
