Ladies and Gentlemen:

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Note Agreement.

 

The Company has requested that the Required Holder(s) agree to modify the Note Agreement as set forth below.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and provided that the Company agrees to the modifications of the Note Agreement set forth below, the Required Holder(s) are willing to agree to the Company’s requests.

 

Accordingly, and in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 12C of the Note Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                         Amendments.  Effective on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), the Note Agreement is amended as follows:

 

1.1.                            Amendment to Paragraph 5A.  Paragraph 5A of the Notes Agreement is hereby amended by (a) amending and restating clauses (i) and (ii) thereof in their entirety to read as follows:

 

“(i)                               as soon as practicable and in any event within 45 days after the end of each quarterly period (other than the last quarterly period) in each fiscal year, consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period from the beginning of the current fiscal year to the end of such quarterly period, and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such quarterly period, setting forth in each case in comparative form figures for the corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to quarterly financial statements and certified by an authorized financial officer of the Company as fairly presenting, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their results of operations and cash flows, subject to changes resulting

 











 

from year-end adjustments; provided, however, that delivery within the time period specified above pursuant to clause (iii) below of copies of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company for such quarterly period (including all financial statement exhibits and all financial statements incorporated by reference therein) prepared in compliance with the requirements therefor and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause (i) with respect to the consolidated statements;

 

(ii)                                  as soon as practicable and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, consolidated statements of income and cash flows and a consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such year, and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form corresponding consolidated figures from the preceding annual audit, all in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as to the consolidated statements, accompanied by an opinion thereon of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company and acceptable to the Required Holder(s), which opinion shall state that such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the results of their operations and cash flows and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, that the examination of such accountants in connection with such financial statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and that such audit provides a reasonable basis for such opinion in such circumstances, and shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification as to the scope of the audit; provided, however, that delivery within the time period specified above pursuant to clause (iii) below of copies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for such fiscal year (including all financial statement exhibits and all financial statements incorporated by reference therein) prepared in compliance with the requirements therefor and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause (ii);”

 

and (b) amending clause (viii) thereof by deleting the reference to “and consolidating” contained therein.
