I.   Amendments to Credit Agreement.
     ------------------------------

          1.  The definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" contained in Section 10 of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at
the end of said definition:

     "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this
     definition, for all purposes (other than for the purpose of determining the
     Adjusted Leverage Ratio as such term is used in the definitions of
     Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, Applicable Margin and Applicable
     Prepayment Percentage), for any period which includes a portion of the
     Modification Period, (a)  no effect shall be given to any duplicative
     transition costs deducted in determining Consolidated EBITDA for the
     portion of such period which occurred in the Modification Period that were
     incurred in connection with the termination of the Distribution Agreement
     and the establishment of replacement distribution
<PAGE>

     arrangements, in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate for
     the entire Modification Period, and (b) for any such period, there shall be
     added to Consolidated EBITDA the Transition Gross Profit for such period."

          2.  Section 10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by
inserting the following new definitions therein in appropriate alphabetical
order:

          "Modification Period" shall mean the period from January 1, 2000 to
     and including June 30, 2002.

          "Transition Gross Profit" shall mean, for any period which includes a
     portion of the Modification Period, the negative gross profit impact to the
     U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the portion of such period which
     occurred in such Modification Period (as estimated in good faith by the
     U.S. Borrower) resulting from the termination of the Distribution Agreement
     and the establishment of replacement distribution arrangements, in an
     amount not to exceed $30,000,000 in the aggregate for the entire
     Modification Period..

II.  Miscellaneous Provisions.
     ------------------------

          1.   In order to induce the Banks, the Co-Documentation Agents, the
Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment,
Holdings and the Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that:

          (a)  no Default or Event of Default exists as of the First Amendment
     Effective Date (as defined below), both before and after giving effect to
     this Amendment; and

          (b)  all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit
     Agreement or the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all
     material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, both
     before and after giving effect to this Amendment, with the same effect as
     though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the
     First Amendment Effective Date (it being understood that any representation
     or warranty made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all
     material respects as of such specific date).

          2.   This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a
modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document.

          3.   This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  A complete set of
counterparts shall be lodged with Holdings and the Administrative Agent.

          4.   THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
<PAGE>

          5.  This Amendment shall become effective as of January 1, 2000 on the
date (the "First Amendment Effective Date") when each of Holdings, the Borrowers
and the Required Banks shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same
or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of
facsimile transmission) the same to the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office.

          6.  From and after the First Amendment Effective Date, all references
in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to the Credit
Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as amended
hereby.

          7.  In order to induce the Banks to enter into this Amendment, the
U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Bank which executes and delivers a
counterpart of this Amendment on or before 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on August
3, 2000, a fee equal to 0.05% of the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount
of such Bank's Term Loans and (b) such Bank's Revolving Loan Commitment, such
fee to be earned and payable on the First Amendment Effective Date.
