The Borrower, certain lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of June 23, 2000 (as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) providing for the making of loans by such lenders to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $150,000,000 at any one time outstanding (as the same may be increased pursuant to Section 2.05(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement).

The parties hereto desire to extend the Commitment Termination Date as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, to add Credit Suisse First Boston (the “New Bank”) as a “Bank” under the Existing Credit Agreement, change the Commitment of certain Banks, and amend the Existing Credit Agreement in certain other respects and, as so amended, to restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that effective on the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), the Existing Credit Agreement is amended as set forth in Section 2 hereof and is restated to read in its entirety as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement (which Existing Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference) as so amended:

(a)  Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is amended by changing the date “June 21, 2001” in the definition of “Commitment Termination Date” to read “June 20, 2002.”

(d)  Schedule I to the Existing Credit Agreement is replaced by Schedule I hereto.

Section 3.    Representations and Warranties.    The Borrower represents, warrants and agrees as of the Effective Date (as defined below) that (i) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the date hereof, and as if references in said Section 4.01 to “this Agreement” and the like referred to this Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby, and as if the references in Section 4.01(e) to “March 31, 2000” and “December 31, 1999” were to “March 31, 2001” and “December 31, 2000,” respectively. The Borrower agrees that it shall be an Event of Default for all purposes of Section 6.01(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, if any representation, warranty or certification made by the Borrower herein or in any certificate or other writing furnished to any Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect.
