WHEREAS, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the provisions of the

Amendment;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants
herein and for other valuable consideration, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders
agree as follows:

 

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

 

1.                                      Amendment to Definitions.  Article I of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the definitions of “Commitment
Increase Period”, “Maximum Commitment Amount” and “Total Commitment Amount”
therefrom and to insert in place thereof, respectively, the following:

 

“Commitment Increase Period” shall mean the period from the Closing Date to
(a) the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the last day
of the Commitment Period, and (ii) the date that the Total Commitment Amount is
reduced to less than Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) pursuant to
Section 2.9(a) hereof; or (b) such later date as shall be agreed to in writing
by Agent.

 

“Maximum Commitment Amount” shall mean Six Hundred Million Dollars
($600,000,000).

 

“Total Commitment Amount” shall mean (a) for any date prior to the First
Amendment Effective Date, the Closing Commitment Amount, and (b) on the First
Amendment Effective Date and thereafter, Four Hundred Million Dollars
($400,000,000), as such amount may be increased up to the Maximum Commitment
Amount pursuant to Section 2.9(b) hereof, or decreased pursuant to
Section 2.9(a) hereof.

 

2.                                      Amendment to Modification of Commitment
Provisions.  Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete
subsections (a) and (b) therefrom and to insert in place thereof, respectively,
the following:

 

(a)                                 Optional Reduction of Commitment.  Borrower
may at any time and from time to time reduce in whole or ratably in part the
Total Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving
Credit Exposure, by giving Agent not fewer than three Business Days’ written
notice of such reduction, provided that (i) any such partial reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), (ii) there shall be no more than two such reductions during any
calendar year, and (iii) any such reduction that reduces the Total Commitment
Amount to less than Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) shall constitute
a permanent reduction of the Total Commitment Amount and shall be effective
during the remainder of the Commitment Period.  Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the date of each such reduction and such Lender’s proportionate share
thereof.  After each such reduction, the facility fees payable hereunder shall
be calculated upon the Total Commitment Amount as so reduced.  If Borrower
reduces in whole the Commitment, on the effective date of such reduction
(Borrower having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the
Loans, together with all interest and facility, utilization and other fees
accrued and unpaid, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line
Exposure shall exist), all of the Notes shall be delivered to Agent marked
“Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Notes to Borrower.  Any partial
reduction in the Total Commitment Amount shall be effective during the remainder
of the Commitment Period (provided that the Total Commitment Amount may
thereafter be increased during the Commitment Increase Period pursuant to
Section 2.9(b) hereof).

 

2

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

 

(b)                                 Increase in Commitment.  At any time during
the Commitment Increase Period, Borrower may request that Agent increase the
Total Commitment Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed the Maximum
Commitment Amount.  Each such increase shall be in an amount of at least Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), and may be made by either (i) proportionally increasing, for one
or more Lenders, with their prior written consent, their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments, or (ii) including one or more Additional Lenders, each with
a new Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (collectively,
the “Additional Commitment”).  During the Commitment Increase Period, the
Lenders agree that Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more
Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each
Additional Lender, if any, shall be an Eligible Transferee and shall execute an
Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to Borrower and
each Lender a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment
Percentages for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business
Days prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an
“Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date”), and (C) Borrower shall execute
and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such replacement or additional Revolving
Credit Notes as shall be required by Agent (and requested by the Lenders).  The
Lenders hereby authorize Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption
Agreement on behalf of the Lenders.  On each Additional Lender Assumption
Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect
to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest,
facility fees, utilization fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect
thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate
among such Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitment
Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this
Section 2.9(b).  Borrower shall not request any increase in the Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then
exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such increase would exist.

 

3.                                      Closing Items.  Concurrently with the
execution of this Amendment, Borrower shall:

 

(a)                                 cause each Guarantor of Payment to execute
the attached Acknowledgement and Agreement; and

 

(b)                                 pay all legal fees and expenses of Agent in
connection with this Amendment.

 

4.                                      Representations and Warranties. 
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that
(a) Borrower has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this
Amendment; (b) the officers executing this Amendment have been duly authorized
to execute and deliver the same and bind Borrower with respect to the provisions
hereof; (c) the execution and delivery hereof by Borrower and the performance
and observance by Borrower of the provisions hereof do not violate or conflict
with the organizational agreements of Borrower

 

3

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

 

or any law applicable to Borrower or result in a breach of any provision of or
constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or document binding
upon or enforceable against Borrower; (d) no Default or Event of Default exists
under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the execution
and delivery of this Amendment or by the performance or observance of any
provision hereof; (e) Borrower is not aware of any claim or offset against, or
defense or counterclaim to, Borrower’s obligations or liabilities under the
Credit Agreement or any Related Writing; and (f) this Amendment constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Borrower in every respect, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy or
insolvency laws or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or
by general principles of equity.

 

5.                                      References to Credit Agreement.  Each
reference that is made in the Credit Agreement or any Related Writing shall
hereafter be construed as a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, all terms and provisions of
the Credit Agreement are confirmed and ratified and shall remain in full force
and effect and be unaffected hereby. This Amendment is a Related Writing.

 

6.                                      Waiver.  Borrower, by signing below,
hereby waives and releases Agent and each of the Lenders, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, attorneys, affiliates and subsidiaries, from any
and all claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims of which Borrower is aware,
such waiver and release being with full knowledge and understanding of the
circumstances and effect thereof and after having consulted legal counsel with
respect thereto.

 

7.                                      Counterparts.  This Amendment may be
executed in any number of counterparts, by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts and by facsimile signature, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

 

8.                                      Headings.  The headings, captions and
arrangements used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not
affect the interpretation of this Amendment.

 

9.                                      Severability.  Any term or provision of
this Amendment held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Amendment and
the effect thereof shall be confined to the term or provision so held to be
invalid or unenforceable.

 

10.                               Governing Law.  The rights and obligations of
all parties hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
