(b) such Account is owned by the Company or such Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens or rights of others other than the Liens and rights of the Agent under the Security Documents;

          (c) The definition of “Applicable Margin” is hereby amended to be restated in its entirety as follows:

     Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply to all Eurodollar Loans that are outstanding at any time during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change, even if such effective date occurs in the middle of an Interest Period; provided that the Total Adjusted Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Category 1 under the above table at the option of the Agent or at the request of the Required Lenders if the Company fails to deliver the financial statements or the related compliance certificate required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 9.5(a), (b) or (c) during the period from the expiration of the time for delivery thereof until such financial statements and related compliance certificate are delivered. In the event that any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.5(a), (b) or (c), as applicable, is shown to be inaccurate when delivered (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered) and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, and only in such case, then the Company shall immediately (i) deliver to the Agent corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) determine the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected financial statements, and (iii) immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period. This provision is in addition to rights of the Administrative Agents and Lenders with respect to Section 5.3 and their other respective rights under this Agreement and shall not limit the rights of the Agent to declare an Event of Default.’

          Section 2.3 Addition of Exhibit 9.5(h). A new Exhibit 9.5(h) is hereby added in the form of Exhibit 9.5(h) attached to this Amendment.

          Section 2.4 Amendment to Section 10.14. Section 10.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to be restated in its entirety as follows:
