such Borrowing, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the
covenants contained in Section 5.04, calculated based on the most recent
Financial Statements (and including, for purposes of determining such pro

the bowling center being so acquired or refinanced as though such
acquisition or construction had occurred at the beginning of the 12-month
period covered by such Financial Statements), (B) during the Restricted
Period, no such Borrowing shall be permitted if, after giving effect to the
acquisition to be made with the proceeds of such Borrowing, the sum of the
aggregate purchase price of acquisitions made pursuant to Section
5.02(f)(ix) during the Restricted Period (other than any such acquisitions
to the extent such acquisitions are paid for with common stock of Parent
and other than the acquisition of bowling centers for a total acquisition
price not to exceed $8,300,000 to be completed in the fourth quarter of
1998 as reflected in the projections furnished to the Lender Parties in
connection with Amendment No. 1 and Waiver dated September 30, 1998 to this
Agreement) plus binding commitments of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to
make cash Investments during the Restricted Period consisting of or in
connection with acquisitions would exceed (1) if the Total Debt/EBITDA
Ratio at such time is less than 7.00:1, $30,000,000 or (2) in all other
cases, $10,000,000, (C) after giving effect to the acquisition to be made,

Borrowing, the aggregate amount of all Unused Working Capital Commitments

refinance the costs of construction of a New Center;".
(f) Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding a new
subsection (pp) at the end thereof to read as follows:
"(pp) The Borrower has (i) initiated a review and assessment of all
areas within its and each of its Subsidiaries' business and operations
(including those affected by major suppliers, vendors and customers) that
could be adversely affected by the risk that computer applications used by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or major suppliers, vendors and
customers) may be unable to recognize and perform properly date-sensitive
functions involving certain dates prior to and any date after December 31,
1999 (the "Year 2000 Problem"), (ii) developed a plan and timetable for
addressing the Year 2000 Problem on a timely basis and (iii) to date,
implemented that plan in accordance with such timetable. Based on the
foregoing, the Borrower believes that all computer applications (including
those of its major suppliers, vendors and customers) that are material to
its or any of its Subsidiaries' business and operations are reasonably
expected on a timely basis to be able to perform properly date-sensitive
functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000, except to the
extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect."
(g) Section 5.02(f) of the Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

semicolon at the end thereof the following:
"provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Investments shall be made pursuant to this clause (i) during the
Restricted Period".
(ii) Clause (ii) thereof is amended by adding immediately
preceding the semicolon at the end thereof the following:
"provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investments
shall be made pursuant to this clause (ii) during the Restricted
Period".
(iii) Subsection (ix) thereof is amended in full to read as
follows:
"(ix) other Investments made in connection with the acquisition
of all or any part of the assets or stock or other equity interest of
any Person or the acquisition or construction of New Centers; provided
that with respect to Investments made under this clause (ix): (1) any
newly
acquired or created Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary thereof and such
Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary) shall
become a Subsidiary Guarantor and execute and deliver the documents
referred to in Section 5.01(n); (2) immediately before and after
giving effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or would result therefrom; (3) substantially all of any
business acquired or invested in pursuant to this clause (ix) shall be
in the same or a substantially related line of business as the
business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (after giving
effect to permitted expansion by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
into golf-related business pursuant to Section 5.02(h));
(4) immediately after giving effect to the acquisition of a company or
business pursuant to this clause (ix), the Borrower shall be in pro
forma compliance with the convenants contained in Section 5.04,
calculated based on the relevant Financial Statements, as though such
acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the 12-month period
covered thereby, as evidenced by a certificate of a Designated
Financial Officer furnished to the Lender Parties, demonstrating such
compliance and reflecting the Adjusted EBITDA of any bowling center so
acquired for the immediately preceding 12-month period; (5) during the
Restricted Period, no such Investment (other than acquisitions to the
extent such acquisitions are paid for with common stock of Parent)
shall be permitted if, after giving effect to such Investment, the sum
of the aggregate purchase price of acquisitions made pursuant to this
clause (ix) during the Restricted Period (other than any such
acquisitions to the extent such acquisitions are paid for with common
stock of Parent and other than the acquisition to the extent such
acquisitions of bowling centers for a total acquisition price not to
exceed $8,300,000 to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1998 as
reflected in the projections furnished to the Lender Parties in
connection with Amendment No. 1 and Waiver dated September 30, 1998 to
this Agreement) plus binding commitments of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries to make cash Investments during the Restricted Period
consisting of or in connection with acquisitions would exceed (x) if
the Total Debt/EBITDA Ratio at such time is less than 7.0:1,
$30,000,000 or (y) in all other cases, $10,000,000; and (7)
immediately after giving effect to the acquisition of a company or
business pursuant to this clause (ix), the aggregate amount of all
Unused Working Capital Commitments shall be at least $100,000,000."

follows:

$80,000,000 during the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 1998, $70,000,000
during the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 1999 and $100,000,000 during
each Fiscal Year thereafter, provided, that, other than during the
Restricted Period to the extent that any Capital Expenditures permitted to
be made in any Fiscal Year shall not have been so made, such Capital
Expenditures may be made in the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year;
provided further, that for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of
Capital Expenditures permitted in any Fiscal Year, any amounts so carried
over from the immediately preceding Fiscal Year shall be deemed to be spent
after amounts otherwise permitted to be spent in such Fiscal Year; and
provided still further, however, that, during the Restricted Period, after
giving effect to any such Capital Expenditure, the aggregate amount of all
Unused Working Capital Commitments shall be not less than $100,000,000."
