     "Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no supplement
or amendment shall be made at such time as the Rights are not then redeemable
which (i) decreases the stated Redemption Price, (ii) decreases the period of
time remaining until the Final Expiration Date or (iii) modifies a time period
relating to when the Rights may be redeemed."

2. Section 1(k) of the Rights Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

     "(k) "Final Expiration Date" shall mean September 30, 2004."

3. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

4. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.

                            (signature page follows)

the day and year first written above.
