          pursuant to Section 8.11 or any incurrence of Additional Indebtedness,

     SUBPART 2.7 The following new subsection (c) is hereby added to Section 3.6
of the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

               (c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other  adjustment to

          Borrower  or the  Lenders  determine  that (i) the  Leverage  Ratio as
          calculated by the Borrower as of any  applicable  date was  inaccurate
          and  (ii) a  proper  calculation  of the  Leverage  Ratio  would  have
          resulted  in  higher  pricing  for such  period,  the  Borrower  shall
          immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the
          account of the  applicable  Lenders,  promptly  on demand by the Agent
          (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
          relief with respect to the Borrower under the  Bankruptcy  Code of the

          Administrative  Agent,  any Lender or the Issuing  Lender),  an amount
          equal to the excess of the  amount of  interest  and fees that  should
          have been paid for such period  over the amount of  interest  and fees
          actually  paid for such  period.  This  paragraph  shall not limit the
          rights of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
          be, under Section  2.2(c)(iii),  3.4(b) or 3.1 or under Section 9. The
          Borrower's   obligations   under  this  paragraph  shall  survive  the
          termination of the  Commitments  and the repayment of all other Credit
          Party Obligations hereunder.

     SUBPART 2.8 Section  8.1(i) of the Credit  Agreement  is hereby  amended to
read as follows:

               (i)(a)  Indebtedness of the Borrower under the Convertible  Notes

          exceed  $100,000,000;  provided,  that no  Default or Event of Default
          exists  immediately before or after giving effect to the incurrence of
          any such Additional  Indebtedness  and (c) Additional  Indebtedness of
          the Borrower  incurred after the delivery of the financial  statements
          required by Section  7.1(b) for the fiscal period ending May 31, 2007;
          provided,  that (I) no Default or Event of Default exists  immediately

          Indebtedness and (II) the Borrower shall have provided the Agent a Pro
          Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that after giving effect to
          the incurrence of any such  Additional  Indebtedness  pursuant to this
          clause  (c)  on a Pro  Forma  Basis,  the  Credit  Parties  and  their
          Subsidiaries  are in compliance  with all the financial  covenants set
          forth in Section 7.12; and

     SUBPART 2.9 Subclause (c) of Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended to read as follows:

               (c) make any repayment in cash for the  Convertible  Notes or any

          principal of any  Convertible  Notes or any  Additional  Indebtedness)
          unless (i) prior to any such  repayment,  the Borrower has  Sufficient
          Liquidity (as defined below),  (ii) prior to any such  repayment,  the
          Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate
          demonstrating  that after  giving  effect to any such payment on a Pro
          Forma Basis, the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries would have been
          in compliance  with all the  financial  covenants set forth in Section
          7.12 and (ii) before and after giving effect to any such repayment, no
