     hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any
     amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents;
     provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will
     not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement
     described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 9.05 without the
     consent of the Participant. Subject to subsection (f) below, the Borrower
     agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its
     participation agreement, be entitled to receive payments under Article 8
     with respect to its participating interest.

         (c) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 9.06, any Bank
     may at any time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions
     (each an "ASSIGNEE") (i) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights
     and obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of its outstanding Term
     Loans or (ii) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and
     obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of its Working Capital
     Commitment and Working Capital Outstandings, and such Assignee shall assume
     such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
     Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto executed by such
     Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the subscribed
     consent of the Administrative Agent and (so long as no Event of Default
     exists at the time) the Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably
     withheld; provided that if an Assignee is an Affiliate of such transfer
     Bank or immediately prior to such assignment had Term Loan Exposure or
     Working Capital Exposure,

                                       10


     whichever is the subject of such assignment, no such consents shall be
     required. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by
     such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase
     price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee
     shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and
     obligations of a Bank with a Term Loan Exposure or a Working Capital
     Exposure, as the case may be, as set forth in such instrument of
     assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations
     hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by
     any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment
     pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative
     Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if
     required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such
     assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
     administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $2,500.
     If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
     America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the
     Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or
     withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with
     Section 8.04(d).

         (d) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
     all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
     of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
     Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge
     or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
     assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its
     obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
     Bank as a party hereto.

         (e) Without the prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
     Agent, no assignment under subsection (c) above shall be permitted unless
     after giving effect to any such assignment each of the transfer Bank and
     the Assignee has Term Loan Exposure or Working Capital Exposure, as the
     case may be, of $5,000,000 or more or (solely in the case of the transfer
     Bank) zero.

         (f) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Banks' rights
     (including any successor Applicable Lending Office) shall be entitled to
     receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Bank would
     have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred,
     unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior written consent or
     by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such
     Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office

                                       11


     under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise
     to such greater payment did not exist.

     (v) Schedule C to this Amendment is hereby substituted for Schedule C to
the Credit Agreement.

     (w) Schedule F to this Amendment is hereby substituted for Schedule F to
the Credit Agreement.

     (x) Schedule G to this Amendment is hereby substituted for Schedule G to
