of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Section 2.09(b)(iii);”

 

SECTION 2.                                Representations and
Warranties.  The Credit Parties
hereby affirm and restate the representations and warranties made by it in the
Credit Agreement and confirm that all such representations and warranties are
true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof, after giving
effect to the effectiveness of this Amendment, except to the extent that any

SECTION 3.                                Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  This
Amendment relates only to the specific matters covered herein and shall not
constitute a consent to or waiver or modification of any other provision, term
or condition of the Credit Agreement.

 

 

(b)                                 All
terms, provisions, covenants, representations, warranties, agreements and
conditions contained in the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect except as expressly provided herein.

 

(c)                                  This
Amendment shall become effective when, and only when (i) Administrative Agent

Subsidiary Guarantors and a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the
Majority Lenders; and (ii) and Borrower has paid all reasonable costs and
expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution

and expenses of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP) in accordance with the terms of Section 13.03 of the
Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                                 From
and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit

shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment.

 

(e)                                  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.

 

(f)                                    This
Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
