(c)           The word “and” before clause (iv) of Section 3.03(i)(e) and the words “shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans” at the end of clause (iv) of Section 3.03(i)(e) are deleted and a new clause (v), reading it its entirety as follows, is added to the end of Section 3.03(i)(e):

and (v) up to $150,000,000 (minus the aggregate amount of any Trust Preferred Securities issued on or after March 22, 2007) of net cash proceeds from the issuance on or after March 22, 2007 of shares of capital stock of the Borrower (provided that such net cash proceeds are invested by the Borrower in the growth of the businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries permitted hereunder and are not used to repay Indebtedness or to pay dividends on the capital stock of the Borrower or to redeem or purchase the capital stock of the Borrower), shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans.

4.             Representations.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks as follows:  (a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (b) all representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower in the Credit Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited by the Credit Agreement; and (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

5.             Effect of Amendment.  This Amendment is a Credit Document.  Except as expressly modified and amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  If any part of this Amendment is for any reason found to be unenforceable, all other portions of it shall nevertheless remain enforceable.  The Credit Documents and any and all other documents heretofore, now or hereafter executed and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended so that any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
