6

(a) to each Lender whose Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage is less than the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans held by such Lender shall equal such Lender’s Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date and (b) to the Exiting Lenders (as defined below) as is necessary to repay in full the Revolving Loans owing to such Exiting Lenders.  The parties hereto confirm that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date is equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans immediately after giving effect to the Amendment.  Except for any Revolving Notes to be provided to the Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Commitments, no other documents, instruments or fees (other than fees set forth in Section 2(b) above) shall be, or shall be required to be, executed or paid in connection with such allocations (all of which are hereby waived, as necessary).

Each of First Tennessee Bank, National Association, Land Bank of Taiwan Los Angeles Branch, Mizuho Bank Ltd., and Sovereign Bank, as a new Lender under the Credit Agreement on the Amendment Effective Date (each a “New Lender”), hereby agrees to provide a new Commitment in the amount set forth for such Lender on Schedule I attached hereto.  On the Amendment Effective Date, each New Lender agrees to become and shall be deemed a Lender for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and each reference to the Lenders in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Lenders.  Each New Lender hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the Administrative Agent for such New Lender and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof.

On the Amendment Effective Date, the Commitments of each of Bank Hapoalim, Bank of Communications Co., Ltd., New York Branch, Cathay United Bank Ltd., Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Ltd., New York Branch, Hua Nan Commercial Bank, Ltd. New York Agency, The Bank of East Asia, Limited, Los Angeles Branch, and United Overseas Bank Limited, Los Angeles Agency (each, an “Exiting Lender”) shall be terminated, all outstanding amounts due under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Exiting Lenders on the Amendment Effective Date shall be paid in full, and each Exiting Lender shall cease to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement.

The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender confirms the amount of each such Lender’s Commitment as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 4.  Release of Guarantors.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment as provided in Section 2 above, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the Guarantors set forth on Schedule II attached hereto shall be released as Guarantors under the Guaranty in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment and such Guaranty shall terminate.

Section 5.  Representations.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(a)           Authorization.  The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms.  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower and each of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws

7

affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

(b)           Compliance with Laws, etc.  The execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise:  (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any other Loan Party other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank.

(c)           No Default.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof or will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.

(d)           Guarantors.  Schedule II attached hereto sets forth all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are Guarantors immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment.  As of the effective date of this Amendment and after giving effect thereto, no Subsidiary is required to be a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.13. of the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

Section 6.  Reaffirmation of Representations by Borrower.  The Borrower hereby repeats and reaffirms all representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents on and as of the date hereof with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this Amendment in full.

Section 7.  Certain References.  Each reference to the Credit Agreement in any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

Section 8.  Expenses.  The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith.

Section 9.  Benefits.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
