NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendment to the APA.

(i) Section 4.4(a) of the APA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(a) by Purchaser or Sellers, if the effective date of the Plan and the Closing have not occurred by the close of business on June 30, 2011 (such date, the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if the effective date of the Plan or the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date due solely to a material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement by Purchaser or any Seller, then the Purchaser (if Purchaser is the breaching party) or the Sellers (if any Seller is a breaching party) may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) unless such material breach has been cured and a period of time beyond June 30, 2011 has passed that is equal to the time such breach was ongoing; provided, further that the Sellers shall, at the written direction of the Opco Agent, terminate this Agreement at any time after June 30, 2011 if all of the conditions set forth in Article XI (other than (x) conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied on the Closing and with respect to which no facts or circumstances exist that would cause such conditions not to be satisfied on the Closing Date or (y) the condition set forth in Section 11.3(e)(i)) are satisfied or have been waived as of the Termination Date, other than Section 11.1(f)(ii), solely because the Tax Order is subject to appeal by a

U.S. federal Governmental Body, provided that the Opco Agent (at the direction of the Required Consenting Lenders) has delivered to Purchaser and SCI a written direction notice to terminate this Agreement at least 10 days prior to the date of such termination (which notice may be provided to Purchaser and SCI prior to June 30, 2011 and upon the expiration of the notice period this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated without the necessity of any further action or notice); provided, however, that Sellers shall not terminate this Agreement, and such written direction of the Opco Agent shall have no further force and effect, if prior to the date of such termination Purchaser has waived as a condition to Closing the existence of such appeal of the Tax Order.”

(i) Enforceability. The APA as amended by this Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(ii) Power and Authority. The Parties have all requisite power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to carry out the transactions contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, the APA as amended by this Amendment.
