the other Financing Agreements;



     WHEREAS, Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders have agreed to amend certain provisions of
the Loan Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;



     WHEREAS, by this Amendment No. 1, Agent, Lenders, Borrowers and Guarantors desire and intend
to evidence such amendments;



     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and covenants
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:



     1. Definitions.



 









 





          (a) Additional Definition. As used herein or in the Loan Agreement or any of
the other Financing Agreements, the term “Amendment No. 1” shall mean Amendment No. 1 to Loan
and Security Agreement by and among Agent, Lenders, Borrowers and Guarantors, as the same now
exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or
replaced, and the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed and are hereby
amended to include, in addition and not in limitation, such definition.




          (b) Amendment to Definitions.





          (i) All references to the term “Applicable Margin” herein and in the Loan Agreement or
any of the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed and each such reference is hereby
amended to mean the following:




     “ “Applicable Margin” shall mean, with respect to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate
Loans, the applicable percentage (on a per annum basis) set forth below based on the
Quarterly Average Excess Availability for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	Applicable	 	 
	 	 	 	 	Quarterly Average Excess	 	Eurodollar Rate	 	Applicable Base
	Tier	 	Availability 	 	Margin	 	Rate Margin
	 	1	 	 	Greater than $150,000,000

	 	 	1.75	%	 	 	.25	%
	 	2	 	 	Less than or equal to
$150,000,000 and greater than
$50,000,000

	 	 	2.00	%	 	 	.50	%
	 	3	 	 	Less than or equal to $50,000,000

	 	 	2.25	%	 	 	.75	%







provided, that, (i) the Applicable Margin shall be calculated and established once each
calendar quarter and shall remain in effect until adjusted for the next calendar quarter,
(ii) each adjustment of the Applicable Margin shall be effective as of the first day of a
calendar quarter based on the Quarterly Average Excess Availability for the immediately
preceding calendar quarter, (iii) the Applicable Margin from December 14, 2007 through
January 31, 2008 shall be 1.75% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans and .25% with respect
to Base Rate Loans and (iv) the Applicable Margin from February 1, 2008 through June 30,
2008 shall be the amount for Tier 2 set forth above. In the event that at any time after
the end of a calendar quarter the Quarterly Average Excess Availability for such calendar
quarter used for the determination of the Applicable Margin was less than the actual amount
of the Quarterly Average Excess Availability for such calendar quarter as a result of the
inaccuracy of information provided by or on behalf of Borrowers to Agent for the calculation
of Excess Availability, the Applicable Margin for such prior calendar quarter shall be
adjusted to the applicable percentage based on such actual Quarterly Average Excess
Availability and any additional interest for the applicable



- 2 -









 







period as a result of such
recalculation shall be promptly paid to Agent. The foregoing shall not be construed to
limit the rights of Agent and Lenders with respect to the amount
of interest payable after a Default or Event of Default whether based on such
recalculated percentage or otherwise.”




               (ii) The definition of the term “Eligible LC Inventory” set forth in Section 1.47 of
the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:
“1.47 Intentionally Deleted”.




               (iii) All references to the term “Floating Rate Note Availability Limit” in the Loan
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and each such reference is hereby amended
by deleting the reference to “excluding the Obligations” at the end thereof.



          (c) Interpretation. For purposes of this Amendment No. 1, all terms used herein which
are not otherwise defined herein, including but not limited to, those terms used in the recitals
hereto, shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement as amended by
this Amendment No. 1.




     2. Increase in Letter of Credit Limit. Section 2.5(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor: “(b) Intentionally Deleted.”



     3. Unused Line Fee. Section 3.2(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following substituted therefor:




     “(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly an unused line
fee at a rate equal to the applicable rate (on a per annum basis) determined as provided
below calculated upon the amount by which the Maximum Credit exceeds the average daily
principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit during the
immediately preceding month (or part thereof) so long as any Obligations are outstanding.
Such fees shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears and calculated
based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Such percentages
shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, to the applicable percentage (on a per
annum basis) set forth below based on the Quarterly Average Excess Availability for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter.



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	Quarterly Average	 	Unused Line

provided, that, (i) the applicable percentage shall be calculated and established once
each calendar quarter and shall remain in effect until adjusted thereafter after the end of
the next calendar quarter, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, (A) the applicable percentage from December 14, 2007 through January 31, 2008 shall
be .30% and (B) the applicable percentages from February 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 shall
be the amount for Tier 2 set forth above.”



     4. Letter of Credit Fee. Section 3.2(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following substituted therefor:




     “(b) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, monthly a fee at the
applicable rate determined as provided below (on a per annum basis) on the average daily
outstanding balance of Letters of Credit for the immediately preceding month (or part
thereof), payable in arrears as of the first Business Day of each month, computed for each
day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. Such percentages shall be increased
or decreased, as the case may be, to the applicable percentage (on a per annum basis) set

	 	 	2.25	%







provided, that, (i) the applicable percentage shall be calculated and established once each
calendar quarter and shall remain in effect until adjusted thereafter after the end of the
next calendar quarter, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A)
the applicable percentage from December 14, 2007 through January 31, 2008 shall be 1.75% and
(B) the applicable percentages from February 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 shall be the
amount for Tier 2 set forth above, and (iii) Borrowers shall, at Agent’s option or at the
written direction of the Required Lenders, pay such fees at a rate two (2%) percent greater
than the otherwise applicable rate on such average daily maximum amount for the period from
and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of
Default is continuing. Such letter of credit fees shall be calculated on the basis of a
three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed

and the obligation of Borrowers
to pay such fee shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. In addition
to the letter of credit fees provided above, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank for its own
account (without sharing with Lenders)
the letter of credit fronting fee of .125% per annum and the other customary charges from
time to time of Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer,
