               10.  The Company and Enterprises, and by their
          consents hereto, each of TPI Commissary and TPI Transpor-
          tation, each hereby (a) reaffirms and admits the validity
          and enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a
          party and all of its obligations thereunder, (b) agrees

          effect to the Amendment, there will exist no Default or
          Event of Default.

               11.  The Amendment may be executed in any number of
          counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all
          of which shall constitute one amendment.  It shall not be
          necessary in making proof of the Amendment to produce or
          account for more than one counterpart signed by the party
          to be charged.

          intended to be performed in the State of New York and
          shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
          accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New
          York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws
          (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obli-
          gations Law).

               13.  Except as amended hereby, the Credit Agreement
          and the Enterprises Guaranty shall in all other respects
          remain in full force and effect and the Amendment shall
          not be construed as an amendment of, or a consent to the
          departure from, any other provision of the Credit Agree-
          ment or the Enterprises Guaranty or a waiver of any
          Default or Event of Default.
