warrants to each of the Lenders, the Additional Tranche A Term Lenders, the Additional Revolving
Lenders and the Agent that, as of the Amendment Effective Date:



 









 





          (a) This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and each
of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, constitutes its valid
and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.




          (b) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date
with the same effect as though made on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent
such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such
representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier
date); provided that the foregoing representation is made by the Parent only in respect of
the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.08, 3.09 and 3.12 of
the Credit Agreement.




          (c) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.




          SECTION 4. New Tranche A Term Loans; New Revolving Commitments; and New

Converting Tranche A Term Lender agrees to convert its Existing Tranche A Term Loans into New
Tranche A Term Loans on the Amendment Effective Date in amounts equal to its Tranche A Undertaking,
(ii) each Additional Tranche A Term Lender agrees to make New Tranche A Term Loans to the Borrower
on the Amendment Effective Date in amounts equal to its Tranche A Undertaking, (iii) each

Commitments on the Amendment Effective Date in amounts equal to its New Revolving Commitments, as
set forth in the New Schedule 2.01, (iv) each Additional Revolving Lender agrees to make New
Revolving Commitments to the Borrower on the Amendment Effective Date in amounts equal to its New

amounts equal to its Additional Revolving Loans Amount. Each Additional Tranche A Term Lender will
make New Tranche A Term Loans and each Additional Revolving Lender will make New Revolving Loans on
the Amendment Effective Date by transferring to the Agent, in the manner contemplated by Section
2.06 of the Credit Agreement, an amount equal to the amount of its Tranche A Undertaking or

converted by a Converting Tranche A Term Lender into a New Tranche A Term Loan as contemplated
hereby is referred to herein as a “Converted Tranche A Term Loan”, any portion of an
Existing Revolving Commitment converted by a Converting Revolving Lender into a New Revolving

Commitment” and any portion of an Existing Revolving Loan converted by a Converting Revolving

Lender will be the amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such Additional Tranche A Term
Lender) allocated to it by the Arrangers and the Borrower and notified to it prior to the Amendment
Effective Date. The New


 









 







           Schedule 2.01 will separately set forth (i) the Tranche A Undertaking of each Converting
Tranche A Term Lender, (ii) the Tranche A Undertaking of each Additional Tranche A Term Lender,
(iii) the New Revolving Commitment of each Converting Revolving Lender and (iv) the New Revolving
Commitment of each Additional Revolving Lender. The commitments of the Additional Tranche A Term
Lenders and the conversion undertakings of the Converting Tranche A Term Lenders are several and no
such Lender will be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make or acquire by conversion New
Tranche A Term Loans. The commitments of the Additional Revolving Lenders and the conversion
undertakings of the Converting Revolving Lenders are several and no such Lender will be responsible
for any other Lender’s failure to make or acquire by conversion New Revolving Commitments or New
Revolving Loans. Each New Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to be
made under Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement.




          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, (i)

Revolving Commitment. For purposes hereof, the “Pro Rata Percentage” shall be equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of New Revolving Loans by (ii) the aggregate
amount of New Revolving Commitments.




          (c) The obligation of each New Tranche A Term Lender to make or acquire by
conversion New Tranche A Term Loans, and the obligation of each New Revolving Lender to make or
acquire by conversion New Revolving Commitments and New Revolving Loans, in each case on the
Amendment Effective Date, is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:





   (i) The conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement shall

certificate of a Financial Officer, dated the Amendment Effective Date, to such effect.




   (ii) The Agent shall have received a favorable legal opinion of Latham &

amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents and security interests thereunder as the Agent
may reasonably request, and such opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.




   (iii) The Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the
Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and
good standing of each Loan Party, the authorization of this Amendment and the transactions
contemplated hereby and any other legal matters relating to the Loan Parties, this

   (iv) To the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the Agent, each

Tranche A Term Lenders and the New Revolving Lenders on the same basis as such benefits are
provided to the existing Tranche A Term Lenders and the Existing Revolving Lenders,
respectively.




   (v) Each Loan Party that has not executed and delivered this Amendment shall
have entered into a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Agent pursuant to
which it confirms that it consents to this Amendment and the New Loans and New Revolving
Commitments and that the Security Documents to which it is party will continue to apply in
respect of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the Obligations of such Loan Party.




   (vi) The aggregate amount of the Tranche A Undertakings of the Additional
Tranche A Term Lenders, plus the amount of any cash available to be used to prepay Existing
Tranche A Term Loans, shall equal or exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Existing
Tranche A Term Loans other than Converted Tranche A Term Loans.




   (vii) The aggregate amount of the Additional Revolving Commitments of the
Additional Revolving Lenders shall equal or exceed the aggregate amount of the Existing

Revolving Lenders, plus the amount of any cash available to be used to prepay Existing

Borrowings and the Existing Revolving Loan Borrowings, respectively, being refinanced, and the
Adjusted LIBO Rates applicable to such New Tranche A Term Loan Borrowings and such New Revolving
Loan Borrowings during such initial Interest Periods shall be the same as those applicable to the
Existing Tranche A Term Loan Borrowings and Existing Revolving Loan Borrowings, respectively, being
refinanced. For purposes of the foregoing, such Interest Periods shall be assigned (i) to the
Additional Tranche A Term Loans of each Additional Tranche A Term Lender in the same proportion
that such Interest Periods applied to the Existing Tranche A Term Loans on the Amendment Effective
Date and (ii) to the Additional Revolving Loans of each Additional Revolving Lender in the same
proportion that such Interest Periods


 









 







applied to the Existing Revolving Loans on the Amendment Effective Date. The Borrower will

Lenders under Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement in connection with the conversion of their
Existing Tranche A Term Loans into New Tranche A Term Loans and Existing Revolving Loans into New

Loans and Converted Revolving Loans) and all other Obligations then due and owing to such Lenders
under the Credit Agreement in their capacities as such and (iv) pay to each Existing Revolving
Lender (including each Converting Revolving Lender) all accrued and unpaid commitment fees payable

under the Credit Agreement in their capacities as such.




          (f) On the Amendment Effective Date, each Issuing Bank that has issued a Letter of
Credit prior to the Amendment Effective Date and set forth on Schedule 4(f) hereto (an
“Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be deemed, without further action by any New Revolving
Lender or any other party hereto or to the Credit Agreement, to have granted to each New Revolving
Lender and each New Revolving Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing
Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(d) of the Credit
Agreement. Concurrently with such grant, the participations in the Existing Letters of Credit
granted to the Existing Revolving Lenders under the Credit Agreement shall be automatically

Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes

and for the benefit of, each Lender that was a Tranche A Lender or a Revolving Lender, as the case
may be, prior to the Amendment Effective Date, but that is not a New Lender.




          SECTION 5. Effectiveness of Amendment. This Amendment shall become
effective as of the first date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which the following

Parent and Holdings, (B) the Required Lenders, (C) each New Lender and (D) Tranche B
Lenders



 









 







holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Tranche B Term
Loans outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment.




   (ii) The conditions set forth in Section 4(c) hereof shall have been
satisfied and the Borrower shall have made the payments required to be made by Section 4(e)

pursuant to the Credit Agreement, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel for the Agent.



          SECTION 6. Effect of Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein,
this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or
otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under the Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other
provision of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and
affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to entitle the Borrower to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other
change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.




          (b) On and after the Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit
Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, and each

Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all
purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.




          SECTION 7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.




          SECTION 8. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent
for its reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent.




          SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.




          SECTION 10. Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.




 









 





          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed by their
authorized officers as of the date first above written.
