terms and conditions, provided for herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein (including in the
recitals) shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Intercreditor
Agreement.

2. Amendments to Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement is hereby
amended as of the First Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) as
follows:

(a) Section 1.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

“‘First Amendment Effective Date’ means November 4, 2009.

party thereto.”

(b) Section 4.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
such Section 4.2 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following
new Section 4.2:

“4.2 Amendments to Second Lien Documents. Until the First Lien Termination Date
has occurred, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Second Lien Documents, the Second Lien Creditors shall not, without the prior
written consent of the First Lien Agents, agree to any amendment, restatement,
modification, supplement, substitution, renewal or replacement of or to any or
all of the Second Lien Documents that (a) from and after the First Amendment
Effective Date (after giving effect to the amendments set forth in the Fourth
Amendment to Second Lien Loan Agreement), would directly or indirectly result in
an increase in the interest rates in respect of the Second Lien Obligations
(excluding, without limitation, fluctuations in underlying rate indices and
imposition of a default rate of 2% per annum, but including, without limitation,
any increase in interests rates attributable to fixing a floor, minimum rate or
similar changes), (b) shorten the maturity or weighted average life to maturity

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Second Lien Obligations or require that any payment on the Second Lien
Obligations or require that any payment on the Second Lien Obligations be made
earlier than the date originally scheduled for such payment or that any
commitment expire any earlier than the date originally schedule therefore,
(c) except as set forth in the Fourth Amendment to Second Lien Credit Agreement,
add or modify in a manner adverse to any Obligor or any First Lien Creditor any
covenant, agreement or event of default under the Second Lien Loan Documents
(provided, that, if the First Lien Documents are amended or otherwise modified
to provide for additional covenants or events of default or to make more
restrictive or onerous any existing covenants or events of default applicable to
the Obligors, then the Second Lien Documents may be similarly amended or
modified to provide for such additional covenants or events of default or such
more restrictive covenants or events of default, as the case may be, so long as,
in each case, any cushion or step-back between the First Lien Documents and the
Second Lien Documents is maintained in connection therewith (or otherwise is
consistent with the approach currently in effect), and provided that no such
amendment to the Second Lien Documents shall have the effect of making any such
event of default or covenant more restrictive than those set forth in the First
Lien Documents, as so amended or otherwise modified) or (d) increase the amount
of the Second Lien Obligations in excess of the Maximum Second Lien Principal
Amount.”
