 The LENDERS party hereto;

 BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”)

 BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender; 
 in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and benefits to be derived herefrom. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent, among others, have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 31, 2006 (as amended,
restated, modified or supplemented and in effect, the “Credit Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors,
the Agents and the Required Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Credit Agreement, as applicable. 

  

	2.	 Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) no Default or Event of
Default by the Loan Parties exists under the Loan Documents, and (ii) all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in 



  

 -1- 









	 	 
all material respects (without duplication of any materiality standard set forth in any such representation or warranty) as of the date hereof with the same
effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (without
duplication of any materiality standard set forth in any such representation or warranty) as of such date. 


  

	3.	Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 6.06(c) thereof in its entirety and by substituting the following in its
stead: 

 “(c) Redeem, repurchase or otherwise prepay, or make any payments, directly or indirectly, of any principal
amounts or interest under the Exchange Notes (other than payment in kind interest) or pay any consent fee in cash other than the consent fee payable in cash upon the closing of the Exchange Offer as described in the Exchange Notes Term Sheet,
provided that, on or after October 1, 2009, the Loan Parties may make payments in cash (after the closing of the Exchange Offer) in respect of any consent fees which are required under the terms of the Exchange Debt Documents so long as
either (i) such payments are funded solely with the proceeds of a Designated Equity Issuance or (ii) after giving effect to such payment, Excess Availability is equal to or greater than $10,000,000; and provided further that, after
December 31, 2009, the Loan Parties may make cash interest payments which are required under the terms of the Exchange Debt Documents so long as either (i) such payments are funded solely with the proceeds of a Designated Equity Issuance
or (ii) (x) average daily Excess Availability for the 45 day period immediately preceding such payment, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such payment, is equal to or greater than $20,000,000, and (y) after giving
effect to such payment, Excess Availability is equal to or greater than $20,000,000. For purposes of this Section 6.06(c), there shall be deducted from Excess Availability (i) the aggregate amount of all the outstanding and unpaid trade
payables and other obligations of the Loan Parties which are not paid within 30 days past the due date according to their original terms of sale, in each case as of such date of determination, and (ii) without duplication of clause
(i) above, the amount of checks issued by any Loan Party to pay trade payables and other obligations which are not paid within 30 days past the due date according to the original terms of sale, in each case as of such date of determination, but
which either have not yet been sent or are subject to other arrangements which are expected to delay the prompt presentation of such checks for payment. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any refinancing permitted by Section 6.01(b)
constitute a redemption, repurchase, prepayment or payment in respect of the Senior Notes for any purpose under Sections 6.06 or 6.09.”
