Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.


WHEREAS, the parties hereto propose to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement.


NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


SECTION 1.  Amendment to Term Loan Agreement.  Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, clause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control” contained in Section 1.01 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(b) [Intentionally omitted]” 




SECTION 2.      Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall not become effective until the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Agreement duly executed by each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
SECTION 3.      Representations and Warranties.  Each of the Loan Parties reaffirms and restates the representations and warranties made by it in the Term Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, in each case, after giving effect to the amendment to the Term Loan Agreement contemplated hereby, and all such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects on the date of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if made on such date (except to the extent (i) such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, (ii) any representation or warranty that is already by its terms qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects after giving effect to such qualification and (iii) the representation and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the Term Loan Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Term Loan Agreement).  Each of the Loan Parties additionally represents and warrants (which representations and 



















warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
(a)    it has the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken or caused to be taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;
(b)    no consent of any Person (including, without limitation, any of its equity holders or creditors), and no action of, or filing with, any governmental or public body or authority is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, except for the approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect;
(c)    this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on its behalf by a duly authorized officer, and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity; 
(d)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(e)    the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not (i) contravene the terms of any of its Organization Documents; (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (A) any Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or affecting it or its properties or the properties of any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which it or its property is subject; or (ii) violate any Law, except in each case referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) hereof, to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 4.      Affirmation of Guarantors.  Each Guarantor hereby approves and consents to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agrees and affirms that its guarantee of the Obligations continues to be in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall apply to the Term Loan Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents, as such are amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their terms.
SECTION 5.      Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its payment obligations set forth in Section 10.04 of the Term Loan Agreement include the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other documentation

contemplated hereby (whether or not this Agreement becomes effective or the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated and whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing), including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6.      Ratification.
(a)The Term Loan Agreement, as amended by this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed by the Loan Parties.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby (i) confirms and agrees that the Borrower is truly and justly indebted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the aggregate amount of the Obligations without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind whatsoever, and (ii) reaffirms and admits the validity and enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, as amended by this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.
(b)    This Agreement shall be limited precisely as written and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not be deemed (i) to be a consent granted pursuant to, or a waiver, modification or forbearance of, any term or condition of the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to in any thereof or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, whether or not known to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, or (ii) to prejudice any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may now have or have in the future against any Person under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement, any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

SECTION 12.      Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
