WHEREAS, pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2006, the Lenders agreed to certain modifications to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including a $60 million increase in the Domestic Revolving Commitments and a $10 million reduction in the Foreign Revolving Commitments, resulting in $390 million in revolving credit and term loan commitments under the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Domestic Borrowers have requested certain modifications to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, among other things, consent to redemption, prepayment or repurchase of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the ability to increase the Domestic Revolving Commitments in connection therewith;

WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to the requested consents and amendments on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Consent. Notwithstanding any provision in the Credit Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 8.06), consent is given to redemption, prepayment or repurchase of the Senior Subordinated Notes, and exclusion of the amounts made in redemption, prepayment or purchase therefor (including principal, interest and any fees or expenses associated therewith) from determination of compliance with the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as hereafter provided.

2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended in the following respects:

2.1 Definitions. The definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges” is amended to read as follows:

Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, for any period for the Consolidated Group, the sum of (a) the cash portion of Consolidated Interest Expense, plus (b) scheduled principal


payments made on Consolidated Funded Debt, plus (c) cash taxes paid, plus (d) Restricted Payments (but excluding, for purposes hereof, amounts prepaid on the Senior Subordinated Notes or the amount paid, including, without limitation, principal, interest and any fees or expenses associated therewith, to redeem or purchase the Senior Subordinated Notes on or before March 13, 2007), plus (e) Investments under Section 8.02(o).

2.3 Increase in Domestic Revolving Commitments. Section 2.01 is amended by adding a new subsection (h), which is to read as follows:

(h) Increase in Domestic Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Domestic Borrowers may, at any time, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Domestic Revolving Committed Amount by an amount up to FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000); provided that:

(i) the Domestic Borrowers shall obtain commitments for the amount of the increase from existing Lenders or other commercial banks and financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which other commercial banks and financial institutions shall join in this Credit Agreement as Lenders by joinder agreements or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(ii) any such increase shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5 million and integral multiples of $1 million in excess thereof (or the remaining amount, if less);

(iii) if any Domestic Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the Domestic Borrowers will make such payments and adjustments on the Domestic Revolving Loans (including payment of any break-funding amounts owing under Section 3.05) as may be necessary to give effect to the revised commitment percentages and commitment amounts;

(iv) upfront fees, if any, in respect of the new commitments so established, shall be paid; and

(v) the conditions to the making of a Domestic Revolving Loan set forth in Section 5.02 shall be satisfied.

In connection with any such increase in the Domestic Revolving Commitments, Schedule 2.01 will be revised to reflect the modified commitments and commitment percentages of the Lenders, and the Domestic Borrowers will provide supporting resolutions, legal opinions, promissory notes and other items as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection therewith. The Domestic Borrowers shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the date that the increase in the Aggregate Domestic Revolving Committed Amount becomes effective (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Domestic Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Domestic Revolving Commitments under this subsection.
