““Commitment” means the commitment of the Lender to make Term Loans hereunder.  The maximum amount of the Commitment is the original principal balance of $50,000,000 (without giving effect to any reimbursement obligation incurred in connection with any L/C Disbursement) plus the Additional Commitment (without giving effect to any reimbursement obligation incurred in connection with any L/C Disbursement).”
““Triggering Event” means if, at any time beginning on the Plan Sponsor Supplemental Funding Time, and ending on September 23, 2012, the Borrower's Availability is less than $200,000,000.”
(ii)    The following new defined terms shall be added in the appropriate alphabetical order to Section 1.1 of the Subordinated Loan Agreement:
““Additional Commitment” means (a) $0.00 if the Borrower consummates the Rights Offering on or before the Plan Sponsor Supplemental Funding Time and (b) $50,000,000 in all other cases.”
““June 2011 Loan” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.1.”
““Rights Offering” means the rights offering to be conducted by the Borrower on terms previously approved by the Audit Committee of the Borrower's Board of Directors, whereby each holder of common stock of the Borrower would receive a specified share purchase right for each share of common stock of the Borrower, subject to adjustments to eliminate fractional rights, with each whole right entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Borrower at a price of $4.50 per share, that results in Borrower receiving an aggregate gross amount equal to or greater than $200,000,000, including Lender's written commitment in advance of the offering (and fulfillment of such commitment) to exercise in full its basic subscription and oversubscription rights.”
““Supplemental June 2011 Loan” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.1.”
(b)    Amendments to Section 2.1.  Section 2.1 of the Subordinated Loan Agreement is amended and restated 

in its entirety as follows:
“Section 2.1    Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender and the Borrower agree that, on the Effective Date, the Lender had made a Term Loan to the Borrower in an aggregate original principal amount of $50,000,000 (“June 2011 Loan”).  Following the Effective Date, upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Lender agrees, subject to any applicable restrictions set forth in the Exit Facility, to promptly make an additional one-time Term Loan (“Supplemental June 2011 Loan”) to the Borrower in an original principal amount equal to the amount of the Additional Commitment.  The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender of the occurrence of the Triggering Event and the Lender agrees to make the Supplemental June 2011 Loan within seven Business Days after the occurrence of the Triggering Event (regardless of whether or when the Borrower notifies the Lender of the occurrence of the Triggering Event).  In no event shall the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.1 (without giving effect to any reimbursement obligation incurred in connection with any L/C Disbursement) exceed the Commitment.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.5 hereof, the Borrower may borrow and prepay the Term Loans.  Amounts repaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.”
(c)    Amendments to Section 2.5.  Section 2.5(a) of the Subordinated Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Section 2.5    Prepayment of Loans.  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall be permitted to make principal and interest payments on the Loans prior to the Maturity Date so long as such prepayment is not prohibited by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.2 and 2.3 thereof) and any other agreements governing the Senior Indebtedness; provided that in the case of any prepayment of principal or interest of the June 2011 Loan no such prepayment shall be made unless such prepayment is made with the proceeds received by the Borrower from the Rights Offering.  Any such prepayment shall be subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section and in accordance with the terms of the Notes.
(d)    Amendments to Section 6.12.  Section 6.12 of the Subordinated Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Section 6.12    Nature of Obligations.  Each of the Loans and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder constitute Plan Sponsor Subordinated Indebtedness.  The June 2011 Loan constitutes the June 2011 Plan Sponsor Subordinated Indebtedness.  The Supplemental June 2011 Loan, if ever, made following the occurrence of the conditions set forth in the definition of Triggering Event and made prior to September 23, 2012 or prior to the consummation of the Rights Offering, shall constitute the Supplemental June 2011 Plan Sponsor Subordinated Indebtedness.  The incurrence of the Term Loan and the issuance of the Mayflower L/C (but not the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower in respect of an L/C Disbursement) are subject to the requirements of Section 6.01(x) of the Exit Facility.”
(e)    Amendment to Exhibit A to Subordinated Loan Agreement.  The form of Promissory Note attached as Exhibit A to the Subordinated Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read such that it conforms in all respects to the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
