WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to amend the Credit Agreement to effect certain changes thereto;

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make such requested amendments to the Credit Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section References.  Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all Section references herein shall refer to Sections of the Credit Agreement.

Amendments to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement.  Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:

1

deleting the second paragraph of the definition of “Applicable Margin” and replacing it with the following:

“For purposes of Borrower’s payment of interest in accordance with Section 2.6 and the Commitment Fee specified in Section 2.7(a), each Applicable Margin calculated in accordance with the most recent Compliance Certificate received by Administrative Agent shall be in effect from the date such Compliance Certificate is received by Administrative Agent to but excluding the date the next Compliance Certificate is received; provided, however, that (i) the Applicable Margin from the Closing Date until Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrower’s first Compliance Certificate shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio were in excess of 3.50:1.00, and (ii) if at any time Borrower has not submitted to Administrative Agent the applicable information as and when required under Section 6.2(a), the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio were in excess of 3.50:1.00.  For the avoidance of doubt, any reduction in the Applicable Margin pursuant to the grid above shall not be permanent and shall be in effect only for so long as the applicable Compliance Certificate demonstrates that the Total Leverage Ratio is at or below the requisite level.  In the event that any financial statement delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Credit Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected would have led to a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall the Lenders owe any amounts to Borrower), and (iii) Borrower shall immediately pay to the

2

Administrative Agent the additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder.”;

adding the following clause (w) to the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”, immediately before existing clause (x) thereof:
