entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:




“SECTION 8.1 PAYMENTS.




Failure to (a) make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any
Loan when due and as the same shall become due and payable, and, solely with respect
to any mandatory prepayment of principal that may be due on September 30, 2010
pursuant Section 2.9(f), such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days
following the due date thereof, or (b) make any payment of interest upon any Loan,

(r) Article 10 (Miscellaneous Provisions) of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by
adding the following new Section 10.18 and Section 10.19:




“SECTION 10.18 MOST FAVORED LENDER CLAUSE. On the Fifth Amendment Effective
Date, each negative and affirmative covenant (together with any defined terms and
schedules related thereto) imposed under, or in connection with, the Senior Notes
Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement and shall apply as if fully set
forth herein. If, after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, any Senior Noteholder
or other holder of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (a) imposes any
additional negative or affirmative covenant or event of default (including by
amendment of an existing negative or affirmative covenant or event of default, by
waiver or consent or otherwise) that is more restrictive on the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (or more favorable to such Senior Noteholder or other holder of
Indebtedness) than the covenants or events of default contained in this Agreement,
(b) increases the amount of any fees, interest and/or other economic consideration
to any Senior



 


13









 






Noteholder
or other holder of  Indebtedness, or (c) adds additional
fees,  interest and/or other economic consideration to any Senior Noteholder or other
holder of Indebtedness, then the Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent and each
Bank and (irrespective of such notification) this Agreement shall be deemed
to be amended automatically to incorporate such additional, more restrictive or
more favorable covenant, event of default or other provision (together with any
defined terms and schedules related thereto) as of such date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (y) the subsequent amendment, modification, release or termination of any
such covenant, event of default or other provision in such other document or
agreement shall not operate to amend, modify, release or terminate such covenant,
event of default, additional fees, interest or other economic consideration or other
provision as incorporated into this Agreement pursuant hereto without the consent of
the Majority Banks and (z) no provision shall be incorporated by reference herein to
the extent that it would be more favorable to the Borrower, or less favorable to the
Banks, than any provision of this Agreement that would be operative absent such
incorporation.




SECTION 10.19 SHARING PROVISIONS UNDER THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. As of the
Fifth Amendment Effective Date, a Trigger Event (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement) has occurred and the Agent has provided the required notice under Section
3(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement to implement the sharing provisions contained in
Section 3 of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Intercreditor Agreement or this Agreement, the Agent and the Banks
hereby agree that (a) except for the principal payment on the Senior Note

respect to the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall
be allocated to the Banks and the Senior Noteholders in accordance with Section 3(b)

in full, notwithstanding that the events giving rise to the Trigger Event may have
been cured, waived or no longer exist, (b) “Shared Payments” (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) shall not include (i) any payments of interest in respect
of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or (ii) any
fees in respect of the Financing Agreements (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement), which may be paid directly in accordance with the respective Financing
Agreements (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and (c) with the agreement of
the Agent, as evidenced by execution of a payment letter in the form of Schedule
10.19, the Borrower may make such payments as set forth in such payment letter to
the extent that such payment is made in accordance with Section 3(b) and 7(a) of the
Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such agreement is expressly conditioned upon
the continued agreement of such arrangement by the Senior Noteholders.”

(s) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting any reference to “Quarterly
Date” or “Quarterly Dates” and replacing each such reference with the phrase “Monthly Date” or
“Monthly Dates”, as applicable.



3. Limited Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Section 9 below, the Majority Banks hereby waive the Existing Events of Default. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the waiver contained in the foregoing sentence shall not
waive (or be deemed to be or constitute a waiver of) any other covenant, term or provision in the
Credit Agreement or hinder, restrict or otherwise modify the rights and remedies of the Banks
and/or the Agent following the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement. In addition, the Majority Banks hereby waive any required notice and any limitations on
the specified dollar amounts of the voluntary reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments made

forth herein.

or any other Loan Document. The waivers and modifications herein are limited to the specifics
hereof, shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same

a consent to any further or other matter under the Loan Documents. To the extent any provision in

excused unless specifically provided for in this Agreement.

Affiliates, and each of the officers, directors, employees, and professionals of each Bank, the
Administrative Agent, each other Agent, Swing Line Lender, Issuing Bank, each Bank and their
respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, demands,
obligations, liabilities, causes of action, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or
character, known or unknown, past or present, liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected,
which the Borrower or NCBFC ever had from the beginning of the world, now has or might hereafter
have against any such Releasee which relates, directly or indirectly to the Credit Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions of any such Releasee relating to the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for the duties and obligations expressly set forth in
this Agreement or with respect to any act or omission that is taken or occurs after the Effective
Date.



15. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the payment and performance of each of
the obligations of the Borrower and with respect to all covenants and conditions to be satisfied by

herein, superseding all other discussions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements and
understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto.


 


20









 





17. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising,
on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.



18. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.



19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto
on any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which,
taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
