                                                              Amendments

         Section 2.1.      Amendment to Definition of "Revolving  Commitment".  The definition of the term  "Revolving  Commitment"
set forth in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                  "Revolving  Commitment" means, with respect to each Lender,  the commitment,  if any, of such Lender to make
         Revolving Loans and to acquire  participations  in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans  hereunder,  expressed as an
         amount  representing the maximum aggregate amount of such Lender's Revolving Exposure  hereunder,  as such commitment
         may be  (a) reduced  from  time to time  pursuant  to  Section 2.08,  (b) increased  from  time to time  pursuant  to
         Section 2.21,  and (c) reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to  assignments by or to such Lender  pursuant
         to  Section 10.04.  As of April 22,  2005,  (i) the  amount of each  Lender's  Revolving  Commitment  is set forth on
         Schedule 2.01 and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Lenders' Revolving Commitments is $300,000,000.

         Section 2.2.      Amendment  to Article II.  Article II of the  Agreement  is amended to add a new Section 2.21 to read in
its entirety as follows:

                  Section 2.21      Increase of Revolving  Commitments.  By written  notice sent to the Agent (which the Agent
         shall  promptly  distribute  to the  Lenders),  the Borrower may request an increase of the  aggregate  amount of the
         Revolving  Commitments:  (i) by an  aggregate  amount  equal to any integral  multiple of  $5,000,000  and (ii) by an
         amount not to exceed  $150,000,000;  provided that (i) no  Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the


         aggregate amount of the Revolving  Commitments shall not previously have been increased more than four times pursuant
         to this  Section 2.21.  Each Lender,  in its sole and absolute  discretion,  shall determine whether it will increase
         its Revolving  Commitment.  If one or more of the Lenders will not be increasing its Revolving Commitment pursuant to
         such request, then, with notice to the Agent and the other Lenders, another one or more financial institutions,  each
         as approved by the Borrower and the Agent (a "New  Lender"),  may commit to provide an amount equal to the  aggregate
         amount of the  requested  increase  that will not be  provided  by the  existing  Lenders  (the  "Increase  Amount");
         provided,  that the Revolving  Commitment of each New Lender shall be at least  $5,000,000  and the maximum number of
         New Lenders  shall be eight (8).  Upon  receipt of notice from the Agent to the  Lenders  and the  Borrower  that the
         Lenders,  or sufficient  Lenders and New Lenders,  have agreed to commit to an aggregate amount equal to the Increase
         Amount (or such  lesser  amount as the  Borrower  shall  agree,  which shall be at least  $5,000,000  and an integral
         multiple of  $5,000,000  in excess  thereof),  then:  provided  that no Default  exists at such time or after  giving
         effect to the  requested  increase,  the Borrower,  the Agent and the Lenders  willing to increase  their  respective
         Revolving  Commitments  and the New Lenders (if any) shall  execute and deliver an  Increased  Commitment  Supplement
         (herein so called) in the form attached  hereto as Exhibit D.  If all existing  Lenders shall not have provided their
         pro rata portion of the  requested  increase,  then after giving  effect to the  requested  increase the  outstanding
         Revolving  Loans may not be held pro rata in accordance  with the new Revolving  Commitments.  In order to remedy the
         foregoing,  on the  effective  date of the Increased  Commitment  Supplement  the Lenders  shall make advances  among
         themselves,  such advances to be in amounts sufficient so that after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans shall
         be held by the Lenders pro rata according to their respective  Revolving  Commitments.  The advances made by a Lender
         under this Section 2.21  shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding  amount of the Revolving Loans of one or
         more of the  Lenders  who  received  the  advances.  The  Revolving  Commitments  of the  Lenders who do not agree to
         increase their Revolving Commitments can not be reduced or otherwise changed pursuant to this Section 2.21.


         Section 2.3.      Amendment to Section 5.01(f).  Section 5.01(f) of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

                  (f)      Governmental Reports.  Promptly after the same become publicly available,  copies of all annual and
         quarterly  reports and proxy  statements  filed by the Borrower or any  Subsidiary  with the  Securities and Exchange
         Commission  (or any  Governmental  Authority  succeeding  to any or all of the  functions of said  Commission)  which
         reports and statements may be furnished  electronically  and all other  material  reports or statements  filed by the
         Borrower or any  Subsidiary  with said  Commission or with any national  securities  exchange,  or distributed by the
         Borrower  to its  shareholders  generally,  as the  case  may be,  which  reports  and  statements  may be  furnished
         electronically; and

         Section 2.4.      Amendment  to Section  10.02.  The  following  sentence is added to the end of  clause (b)  of  Section
10.02  of the Agreement:

         Notwithstanding  any other  provisions of this Section 10.02 to the contrary,  this Agreement may be amended pursuant
         to an Increased  Commitment  Supplement executed in accordance with Section 2.21 which only needs to be signed by the
         Borrower,  the Agent and the Lenders  increasing or providing new Revolving  Commitments  thereunder if the Increased
         Commitment  Supplement does not increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving  Commitments to an amount in excess of
         $450,000,000.

         Section 2.5.      Addition  of Exhibit D. The  Agreement  is amended to add  Exhibit D thereto to read in its  entirety as
set forth on Exhibit D to this Amendment.
