Dividends to its shareholders generally so long as a Borrower or its Subsidiary which owns the equity interest or interests in the Subsidiary paying such Dividends receives at least its proportionate share thereof (based upon its relative holdings
of equity interests in the Subsidiary paying such Dividends and taking into account the relative

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 the Exchange Offer or the
Exchange Offer Equity Issuance constitute a redemption, repurchase, prepayment or payment in respect of the Qualified Senior Notes for any purpose under Sections 6.06 or 6.09. 
 (c) Redeem, repurchase or otherwise prepay, or make any payments, directly or indirectly, of any principal amounts or interest under the

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

case as 

  

 -20- 








 
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.” 
  

	 	v.	Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in its stead:
