(j)                                    Deleting Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

(k)                                 Deleting the existing  clause (i) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

 

(i)                                     the guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement (unless no such Person is required to be a “Subsidiary Guarantor” as a result of the satisfaction of the US Subsidiary Guaranty Release Requirement) or the Company’s guarantee under Article X shall not be (or shall be asserted by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor not to be) valid or in full force and effect; or

 

(l)                                     Adding the following at the end of the first paragraph of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement before the period:
