Indebtedness shall be evidenced by a note in form and substance as set
forth in Exhibit I to the Limited Waiver and Amendment with
modifications to such terms, if any, not more adverse to the interest of
the Lenders than any other Indebtedness incurred under this clause (o) and
outstanding on May 20, 2008 (including, without limitation, the
subordination of such Indebtedness to the Obligations) nor more favorable
to the creditors of any other Indebtedness of any Company than to the
Lenders hereunder; provided, further, that such Indebtedness shall only
accrue interest (including any default interest) in the form of
pay-in-kind interest and such Indebtedness shall not have any sinking fund
or other principal payment and shall not be redeemable or prepayable
without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and (y)
thereafter, unsecured Indebtedness of any Company in an aggregate amount
not to exceed $5.0 million at any time outstanding; provided, however,
that (A) upon the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding,
all Obligations shall be paid in full in cash prior to any payment,
whether in cash or in kind, by offset, securities or any other property,
being made on account of such Indebtedness (provided that, if the Equity
Investors are the holders of such unsecured Indebtedness, nothing herein
shall prohibit or prevent the Equity Investors from converting such
Indebtedness into or exchanging such Indebtedness for Qualified Capital
Stock of Holdings), (B) the cash portion payable with respect to such
Indebtedness shall not accrue at an interest rate in excess of 10% per

 

 

 -8-

annum and (C) such Indebtedness shall not be on terms more favorable to
the creditors of any other Indebtedness of the Loan Parties than to the
Lenders hereunder.”

     (x) The proviso at the end of Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement is
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“provided that in each fiscal year there shall be no more than one fiscal
