AGREEMENT

Section 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, each capitalized term used in this Amendment has the meaning given such term in the Credit Agreement.

Section 2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement.

(a) Section 2.14(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

        (ii) unless such Letter of Credit has an expiration date not later than one year after the date of issuance thereof; provided that, any such Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may expressly provide that it is renewable at the option of the Issuing Bank for additional one-year periods, provided that such Letter of Credit is cancelable upon at least 30 days’ notice given by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(b) Section 2.14(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

(e) Prepayments of Letters of Credit. In the event that any Letters of Credit shall be outstanding or shall be drawn and not reimbursed on the fortieth day prior to the


Maturity Date and on the date of the issuance or increase of any Letter of Credit issued or increased after the fortieth day prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Exposure allocable to such Letters of Credit to be held in the LC Cash Collateral Account and applied in accordance with paragraph (g) below.

Section 3. Conditions to Effectiveness. The Credit Agreement shall be amended as provided in this Amendment as of the date first set forth above when the Administrative Agent shall have received this Amendment duly executed by Holdings, Merger Sub, each Guarantor, the Majority Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that after giving effect hereto:

(a) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date, other than those representations and warranties that expressly relate solely to a specific earlier date, which shall remain correct as of such earlier date; and

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 5. Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby ratifies, confirms, and acknowledges that its obligations under the Credit Agreement are in full force and effect and that each Guarantor continues to unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantee the full and punctual payment, when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, all of the Obligations (subject to the terms of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement), as such Obligations may have been amended by this Amendment. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that its execution and delivery of this Amendment does not indicate or establish an approval or consent requirement by the Guarantors in connection with the execution and delivery of amendments to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 6. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Transmission by facsimile of an executed counterpart of this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Section 8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
