AGREEMENT:
     In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein and for other valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
     Unless otherwise defined herein, each capitalized term used in this Amendment and not defined herein shall have such meaning ascribed to it in the Credit Agreement.
     SECTION 2. AMENDMENTS.
     2.1 Amendments to Definitions. The definitions of “Applicable Facility Fee Rate”, “Applicable Margin”, “Base Rate” and “EBITDA” contained in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 


 

     “Applicable Facility Fee Rate” means, on any date of determination, a rate that is determined based upon the S&P Rating, the Moody’s Rating or the Fitch Rating, as follows:
             
            Applicable
S&P Rating   Moody’s Rating   Fitch Rating   Facility Fee Rate
A– or higher
  A3 or higher   A– or higher   25.0 basis points
BBB+
  Baa1   BBB+   37.5 basis points
BBB
  Baa2   BBB   37.5 basis points
BBB–
  Baa3   BBB–   37.5 basis points
BB+
  Ba1   BB+   50.0 basis points
Lower than BB+
  Lower than Ba1   Lower than BB+   75.0 basis points
If at any time each Rating Agency issues a different rating or two Rating Agencies issue the same rating which is different than the other Rating Agency, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the highest rating at such time; provided, however, that if the highest such rating is two or more levels above the lowest such rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the intermediate rating at such time. If there is no S&P Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the Moody’s Rating. If there is no Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the S&P Rating. If at any time only two Rating Agencies issue a rating and there is a difference of two or more rating levels between such Rating Agencies, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the intermediate rating levels at the midpoint between the ratings issued by such Rating Agencies at such time or, if there is no midpoint, based on the higher intermediate level. If there is (i) no Moody’s Rating and S&P Rating or (ii) no S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate will be determined by the Lenders (with the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect prior to the determination of the Lenders being the same as the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect at the time such ratings ceased to be in effect), but shall not be higher than the highest rate per annum indicated therefor in the above table. The S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating in effect on any date for purposes of determining the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be that S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating in effect at the close of business on such date. Each change in the Applicable Facility Fee Rate resulting from a publicly announced change in the S&P Rating, the Fitch Rating and/or the Moody’s Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next change.
     “Applicable Margin” means, on any date of determination, a rate that is determined, based upon the S&P Rating, the Moody’s Rating or the Fitch Rating, as follows:

-2-


 

                 
                Applicable Margin
            Applicable Margin   for Base Rate/
S&P           for Fixed Rate   Canadian Base Rate
Rating   Moody’s Rating   Fitch Rating   Loans   Loans
A– or higher
  A3 or higher   A– or higher   125.0 basis points   25.0 basis points
BBB+
  Baa1   BBB+   162.5 basis points   62.5 basis points
BBB
  Baa2   BBB   187.5 basis points   87.5 basis points
BBB–
  Baa3   BBB–   212.5 basis points   112.5 basis points
BB+
  BBa1   BB+   300.0 basis points   200.0 basis points
Lower than BB+
  Lower than Ba1   Lower than BB+   375.0 basis points   275.0 basis points
If at any time each Rating Agency issues a different rating or two Rating Agencies issue the same rating which is different than the other Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the highest rating at such time; provided, however, that if the highest such rating is two or more levels above the lowest such rating, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the intermediate rating at such time. If there is no S&P Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Moody’s Rating. If there is no Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the S&P Rating. If at any time only two Rating Agencies issue a rating and there is a difference of two or more rating levels between such Rating Agencies, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the intermediate rating levels at the midpoint between the ratings issued by such Rating Agencies at such time or, if there is no midpoint, based on the higher intermediate level. If there is (i) no Moody’s Rating and S&P Rating or (ii) no S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating, the Applicable Margin will be determined by the Lenders (with the Applicable Margin in effect prior to the determination by the Lenders being the same as the Applicable Margin in effect at the time such ratings ceased to be in effect), but shall not be higher than the highest rate per annum indicated therefore in the above table. The S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating in effect on any date for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin shall be that S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating in effect at the close of business on such date. Each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a publicly announced change in the S&P Rating, the Fitch Rating and/or the Moody’s Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next change.
     “Base Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Base Rate Loan for any day, the rate per annum equal to the highest as of such day of (i) the Federal Funds Rate on such day plus 1/2 of 1%, (ii) the Prime Rate on such day or (iii) the Eurodollar Base Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1% (provided that, if the Eurodollar Base Rate is

-3-


 

not available on such day, then the most recently available Eurodollar Base Rate for a one month Interest Period shall be used)
     “EBITDA” shall mean, for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Subsidiaries, (i) the sum of (A) net income of the Company and its Subsidiaries (calculated before provision for income taxes, Interest Expense, extraordinary items, non-recurring gains or losses in connection with asset dispositions, income attributable to equity in affiliates, all amounts attributable to depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges associated with asbestos liabilities) for such period, (B) all non-cash charges related to the writedown or impairment of goodwill and other intangibles for such period, (C) non-cash charges in addition to those provided for in clause (B) above, up to an aggregate amount of not more than $25,000,000, incurred during such period, and (D) one-time cash charges incurred during the period from June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2010, but only up to an aggregate amount of not more than $25,000,000 during such period, minus (ii) cash payments made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of asbestos liabilities (which liabilities include, without limitation, defense costs and indemnification liabilities incurred in connection with asbestos liabilities) during such period.
     2.2 Amendment to Add New Definitions. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:
