                                   AGREEMENTS:

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     1. Defined Terms. Subsection 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by

               (a) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit
          Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except
          for (1) representations and warranties that expressly relate to an
          earlier date, which remain true and correct as of said earlier date,
          and (2) representations and warranties that have become untrue or
          incorrect solely because of changes permitted by the terms of the

          have been granted to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors by the
          Administrative Agent, the Co-Agent or any Lender shall constitute a
          course of dealing or otherwise obligate the Administrative Agent, the
          Co-Agent or any Lender to modify, expand or extend the agreements
          contained herein, to agree to any other amendments to the Credit
          Agreement or to grant any consent to, waiver of or indulgence with
          respect to any other noncompliance with any provision of the Loan
          Documents.

               (b) This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all
          purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except
          to the extent amended hereby, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
          Documents and all terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall
          continue in full force and effect in all respects.

copies, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof for all purposes. One
or more counterparts or copies of this Amendment may be executed by one or more
of the parties hereto, and some different counterparts or copies executed by one
or more of the other parties. Each counterpart or copy hereof executed by any
party hereto shall be binding upon the party executing same even though other
parties may execute one or more different counterparts or copies, and all
counterparts or copies hereof so executed shall constitute but one and the same
agreement. Each party hereto, by execution of one or more counterparts or copies
hereof, expressly authorizes and directs any other party hereto to detach the
signature pages and any corresponding acknowledgment, attestation, witness or
similar pages relating thereto from any such counterpart or copy hereof executed

counterparts or copies hereof so that upon execution of multiple counterparts or
copies hereof by all parties hereto, there shall be one or more counterparts or
copies hereof to

     accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without reference to
     the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof.

          (b) The headings in this Amendment and the usage herein of defined
     terms are for convenience of reference only, and shall not be construed as
     amplifying, limiting or otherwise affecting the substantive provisions
     hereof.

     whatever terminology used, shall be deemed to include any and all
     amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions, renewals, substitutions
     and/or replacements thereof as the context may require.
