WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, have agreed to such amendments, to be effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders acknowledge that the terms of this Amendment constitute an amendment and modification of, and not a novation of, the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and the fulfillment of the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the term “Credit Agreement” or “Agreement” (as the case may be), as used herein, in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, shall mean the Credit Agreement as hereby amended and modified, and as further amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time as permitted thereby.
2. Amendments to, Additions of, and Restatements of Terms of the Credit Agreement. Subject to the conditions hereof and upon satisfaction of the terms set forth in Section 7 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The first paragraph of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement (Defined Terms) is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) The definition of “Restricted Payment” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement (Defined Terms) is amended by adding the following to the end thereof:
“For the avoidance of doubt, (x) a payment of principal of or interest on debt securities convertible into or exchangeable, in whole or in part, for shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (y) a payment made in cash in satisfaction of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s obligations with respect to the conversion or exchange of any such securities shall not, in either case, constitute a Restricted Payment.”
(c) Sections 2.14(a) of the Credit Agreement (Borrowing Base Redeterminations; Mandatory Prepayments of Loans) is amended by (i) replacing “85%” in subsection (D) thereof with “80%”, and (ii) deleting the last sentence thereof.
(d) Section 2.14(b) of the Credit Agreement (Borrowing Base Redeterminations; Mandatory Prepayments of Loans) is amended by (i) replacing “80%” in the first sentence thereof with “60%”, and (ii) deleting the last sentence thereof.
(e) Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement (Financial Covenants) is amended by adding the following to the end thereof:

Instead, (x) if the Prepayment Date is on or before September 30, 2010, then (i) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the Prepayment Date occurs and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter through September 30, 2010, the Borrower shall not permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 2.00 to 1.00, or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to be greater than 4.50 to 1.00, and (ii) as of December 31, 2010 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Borrower shall not permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 2.50 to 1.00, or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to be greater than 4.00 to 1.00, and (y) if the Prepayment Date is after September 30, 2010, then on the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the Prepayment Date occurs and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Borrower shall not permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 2.50 to 1.00, or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to be greater than 4.00 to 1.00.”

Agreement, Exhibit C, and the other Loan Documents shall mean such schedules as amended hereby.

6. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby certifies that:
(a) prior to and after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement, or which are contained in any Loan Document or other document furnished at any time under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, that are qualified by materiality are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, and each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement, or which are contained in any Loan Document or other document furnished at any time under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, that are not qualified by materiality are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except, in each case, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier

date, in which case they are true and correct, or true and correct in all material respects, as the case may be, as of such earlier date;
(b) the Persons appearing as Guarantors on the signature pages to this Amendment constitute all Persons who are required to be Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation all Persons who were required to become Guarantors after the Closing Date, and each of such Persons has become and remains a party to a Guaranty as a Guarantor;
(c) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and each Guarantor party hereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such parties, except as may be limited by general principles of equity, by concepts of reasonableness or by the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally; and
(d) prior to and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists.

(c) the Borrower shall have paid (i) all fees then due and payable to Banc of America Securities LLC, for its own account, (ii) a fee to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender executing this Amendment by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 29, 2009, in the amount of twenty-five basis points (0.25%) times each such Lender’s Commitment, and (iii) fees and expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent, in each case to the extent invoiced to the Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date.
8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopy or in electronic form shall be effective as the delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
9. Governing Law. This Amendment shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
10. Enforceability. Should any one or more of the provisions of this Amendment be determined to be illegal or unenforceable as to one or more of the parties hereto, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.

11. No Novation. This Amendment is given as an amendment and modification of, and not as a payment of, the Obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and is not intended to constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement.

12. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that the Borrower, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, may not assign any rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.
