NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

 

1.                                       Amendments to Purchase Agreement. 
Effective as of the “Amendment Effective Date” (as defined in Section 6
below), the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)                                  Section 2.12(a) is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) If a Purchaser becomes a Non-Funding
Purchaser, then, so long as such Purchaser remains a Non-Funding Purchaser in
accordance with clause (b) below, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, any amount paid by the Seller for the account of
such Non-Funding Purchaser under this Agreement (whether on account of Capital
Investment, Daily Yield, Fees, Breakage Costs, indemnity payments or other
amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Non-Funding Purchaser, but
will, so long as such Purchaser is a Non-Funding Purchaser, instead be retained
by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account (the “Non-Funding
Purchaser Account”), until the Termination Date and will be applied by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of
payments from time to time in the following order of priority (and the
Non-Funding Purchaser shall have no claims against the Seller, the
Administrative Agent or any Purchaser for making such redirected payments): first
to the payment of amounts, if any, due and owing by such Non-Funding Purchaser
to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, together with interest
thereon owing at the Index Rate; second to the payment of Daily Yield
due and payable to the Other Purchasers, ratably among them in accordance with
the amounts of such Daily Yield then due and payable to them; third to
the payment of fees then due and payable to the Other Purchasers,

 

 

ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due
and payable to them; fourth, if as of any Settlement Date the Capital
Investment of any Other Purchaser exceeds its Pro Rata Share (as determined
without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof) of the total
Capital Investments, to repay the Capital Investments of each such Other
Purchaser in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess, pro rata based on
the Capital Investments of the Other Purchasers; fifth, to make any
other mandatory reductions of Capital Investments of the Other Purchasers
required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the Capital Investment of
such Other Purchasers; sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts
then due and payable to the Other Purchasers; and seventh to pay any
Daily Yield, Capital Investment or other amounts owing under this Agreement to
such Non-Funding Purchaser in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08(b) hereof
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided
that funds shall be redirected from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account to pay
amounts owed under clauses second through sixth solely after
application of other funds on deposit in the Agent Accounts and only to the
extent that such other funds are insufficient to make such payments.  Any
funds redirected from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account to make payments under
clauses second through sixth above shall not be deemed to be
payment by the Seller for purposes of determining whether a Termination Event
has occurred and shall not discharge any obligations of the Seller to make such
payment.  To the extent that any Other
Purchasers have been paid with amounts redirected from the Non-Funding
Purchaser Account, the Non-Funding Purchaser shall, from and after payment in
full of all interest, Capital Investment and other amounts owed to the Other
Purchaser, be subrogated to the rights of the Other Purchasers to the extent of
any such payments from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account under clause seventh
above.”

 

(b)                                 Schedule 8.01 is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as “Schedule 8.01” attached hereto.

 

(c)                                  Section (a)(ii) of Annex 5.02(a) is
hereby amended to insert the following sentence at the end thereof:

 

“Notwithstanding
anything in this Purchase Agreement or any other Related
Agreement to the contrary, if the Seller requests a Capital Purchase or
notifies the Administrative Agent of a reduction in Capital Investment in
connection with the delivery of a Weekly Report in accordance with the terms
hereof, such Weekly Report shall constitute a Capital Purchase Request or a
Reduction Notice, as applicable, for all purposes hereof (including, without
limitation, for purposes of Section 3.02 hereof.”

 

(d)                                 Section 12.07(c) is hereby
amended by adding the following to the end of such section:

 

“In
addition, if any Purchaser is a Non-Funding Purchaser,
at the Seller’s request, the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s
consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no
obligation) to purchase from such Non-Funding Purchaser, and such
Non-Consenting Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s
request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the
Commitments and Purchaser Interests of such Non-Funding Purchaser for an amount
equal to the Capital Investment held by the Non-Funding Purchaser and all
accrued Daily Yield and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale,
such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment
Agreement.”

C.                                     EBITDA Cure Rights

 

1.                                       In the event of any Termination Event
resulting from a failure to comply with any test set forth in the above Section B
with respect to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2009 or the fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2010, and until the fifteenth day after the date on which the Parent provides
the Administrative Agent notice that it intends to exercise its right to engage
in an EBITDA Cure Issuance under this Section C with respect to any
such Termination Event (but only if such notice is provided on or before the
date on which the financial statements for such fiscal quarter are required to
be delivered under Annex 5.02(a) (without regard to any cure
periods set forth in Section 8.01 with respect to such fiscal quarter)
or, if earlier, the date on which such financial statements are actually
delivered), subject to Sections C(3) and C(4) below,
the Parent may engage in an EBITDA Cure Issuance and apply the amount of the
EBITDA Cure Proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to
such fiscal quarter; provided that such EBITDA Cure Proceeds (i) are
actually received by the Parent or any other Domestic Loan Party no later than
the fifteenth day following the earlier of (x) the date on which the

aggregate amount necessary to cure such Termination Event under the above Section B
for such fiscal quarter.  The parties
hereby acknowledge that this Section C shall not be relied on for
any purpose other than recalculating financial ratios for purposes of
determining compliance with the above Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and
B(4), and shall not result in any adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA or
any other amounts, other than the amount of Consolidated EBITDA referred to in
the immediately preceding sentence.

2.                                       If, after giving effect to the foregoing
recalculations, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall be in compliance
with the tests set forth in the above Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and
B(4), the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have
satisfied the requirements of such tests as of the relevant determination date
with the same effect as if there had been no failure to comply therewith at
such date, and the applicable breach or default with respect to such tests that
had occurred shall be deemed to be cured effective as of such date for all
purposes of this Purchase Agreement and the other Related Documents.

 

3.                                       With respect to the fiscal quarters ending
September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, there
shall be at least one fiscal quarter in which the right to engage in an EBITDA
Cure Issuance set forth in the above Section C(1) is not
exercised.

 

4.                                       Consolidated EBITDA may not be increased
by more than $10,000,000 in aggregate for all fiscal quarters as a result of
the exercise of the right to engage in an EBITDA Cure Issuance set forth in the
above Section C(1).

 

5.                                       The Administrative Agent and the
Purchasers agree that from the date of delivery of the notice referred to in
(and delivered in accordance with) the above Section C(1) until
the date that is fifteen days thereafter, neither the Administrative Agent nor
the Purchasers shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Termination
Event addressed in such notice.

 

D.                                    Other Cure Rights.

 

1.                                       In the event of any Termination Event
resulting from a failure to comply with any test set forth in the above Section B
with respect to any fiscal quarter and so long as the EBITDA Cure Issuance
Expiration Date has occurred (or shall occur simultaneously with the applicable
Other Cure Issuance), and until the fifteenth day after the date on which the
Parent provides the Administrative Agent notice that it intends to exercise its
right to engage in an Other Cure Issuance under this Section D(1) with
respect to any such Termination Event (but only if such notice is provided on
or before the date on which the financial statements for such fiscal quarter
are required to be delivered under Annex 5.02(a) (without regard to
any cure periods set forth in Section 8.01 with respect to such
fiscal quarter) or, if earlier, the date on which such financial statements are
actually delivered), the Parent may engage in an Other Cure Issuance.  If no later than the fifteenth day following
the earlier of (x) the date on which the financial statements for such
fiscal quarter are required to be delivered under Annex 5.02(a) (without
regard to any cure periods set forth in Section 8.01 with respect
to such fiscal quarter) and (y) the date on which such financial
statements are actually delivered, the Parent shall have applied an amount
equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the Permitted Junior Refinancing
Indebtedness issued or incurred pursuant to such Other Cure Issuance to prepay
or cash collateralize the Term Loan, the Revolving Loans, the Bankers’
Acceptance Advances, the Canadian Swing Line Loans and the L/C Obligations
(each as defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the proviso to Section 8.03(r) of
the Credit Agreement, then:

 

(i)                                     solely for purposes of recalculating the
financial ratios for purposes of determining compliance with Sections B(1) and
B(3) above, Consolidated Cash Interest Charges and Consolidated
Fixed Charges shall be determined on a pro forma basis assuming that such Other
Cure Issuance and the related prepayments had occurred on the first day of the
four consecutive fiscal quarter period most recently ended prior to the date on
which such Other Cure Issuance actually occurred; and

 

(ii)                                  solely for purposes of recalculating the
financial ratios for purposes of determining compliance with Sections B(2) and
B(4) above, Consolidated Funded Indebtedness and Consolidated
Senior Secured Indebtedness shall be determined on a pro forma basis 

 

9

 

assuming that such Other Cure Issuance and the related
prepayments had occurred on the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently
ended prior to the date on which such Other Cure Issuance actually occurred.

 

(b)                                 The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section D
shall not be relied on for any purpose other than recalculating financial
ratios for purposes of determining compliance with the above Sections B(1),
B(2), B(3) and B(4), and shall not result in any
adjustment to Consolidated Cash Interest Charges, Consolidated Fixed Charges,
Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness or
any other amounts, other than as set forth in Sections D(1)(i) and D(1)(ii).

 

(c)                                  If, after giving effect to the foregoing
recalculations, the Parent shall be in compliance with the tests set forth in
the above Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and B(4),
the Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such tests as
of the relevant determination date with the same effect as if there had been no
failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default
with respect to such tests that had occurred shall be deemed to be cured
effective as of such date for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Related Documents.

 

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent and the
Purchasers agree that from the date of delivery of the notice referred to in
(and delivered in accordance with) the above Section D(1) until
the date that is fifteen days thereafter, neither the Administrative Agent nor
