1.             Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

2.             Amendments. Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

(a)           By deleting the definition of “Available Amount” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

Indenture runs to the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement; provided, further, that when used in this definition, the defined term “New Subordinated Note Indenture” means the New Subordinated Note Indenture, as in effect on the Closing Date and without giving effect to any amendments, waivers or modifications thereto, or any termination, repayment, defeasance, redemption, repurchase, or expiration thereof, in each case unless separately expressly consented to in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.).”

 

(b)           By deleting Section 8.5(h) of the Credit Agreement in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

 

“(h)         Restricted Payments not otherwise permitted under this Section 8.5; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Payments, together with the aggregate amount of all Investments made under Section 8.3(k), shall not exceed (i) $200,000,000 plus (ii) the Available Amount plus (iii) any redemption, prepayment, defeasance, repurchase or other satisfaction prior to the scheduled maturity of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600,000,000 to the extent the Company has redeemed, prepaid, defeased, repurchased or otherwise satisfied, as applicable, such Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof on or prior to April 30, 2007;”

 

3.             Waiver. During the period from February 12, 2007 to and including February 20, 2007 (the “Waiver Period”), the Requisite Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the Company’s failure to deliver to the Administrative Agent financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter ending December 28, 2006 within 45 days after the end of such Fiscal Quarter in accordance with Section 6.1(a) of the Credit Agreement and the related Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Default”); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default other than the Existing Default, the Waiver Period shall automatically and immediately terminate.
