W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make, and have made, certain loans and other extensions of credit to the Borrower and Canadian Subsidiary Borrower;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested certain amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement as more fully set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to such amendments but only on the terms and conditions contained in this Amendment;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.                                Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement unless the context otherwise requires.

“Existing Convertible Notes”:  the Convertible Notes and the 2014 Convertible Notes.

“PHH Convertible Notes”: the Existing Convertible Notes and any other convertible notes issued by the Borrower on terms customary for convertible notes at the time of issuance, as determined by the Borrower.

“2014 Convertible Notes”:  the Borrower’s 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014.

SECTION 6.                                Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that (before and after giving effect to this Amendment):

(a)          as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement and in the other Fundamental Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which case the Borrower hereby confirms, reaffirms and restates such representations and warranties as of such earlier date) with the same effect as if made on and as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date; and
