     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.   AMENDMENT TO SUBSECTION 9.2 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  Subsection
9.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the paragraph in
its entirety and replacing it with the following paragraph (c):

     (c) as soon as available, but in any event no later than 90 days after the

Credit Agreement are and shall continue to be in full force and effect.

     5.   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
