WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer wish to amend certain terms and
conditions of the Agreement as set forth below. 
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 
1. Definitions; Effect. As used herein, each capitalized term shall have the same respective meaning as it has in the Agreement. Except as amended
hereby, the Agreement remains in full force and effect. 
 
2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing is held on April 15, 2003, the Initial Purchase Price will be $421,126,278, which has been
calculated as set forth on Exhibit M to the Agreement. 
 
If the
Closing Date is not April 15, 2003, the immediately preceding sentence will have no further force and effect (unless the parties agree otherwise in writing). Annex A hereto is hereby added as Exhibit M to the Agreement. 
 
3. Closing. The last sentence of Section 2.01 of the Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 
The term “Closing” shall describe the transactional event occurring on the Closing Date and unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the Closing shall be deemed effective when Seller receives the wire transfer
contemplated by Section 1.03 above, provided, however, that, for purposes of preparing the Closing Working Capital Statement and Closing Net Indebtedness Statement contemplated by Section 1.04 of the Agreement, the Closing shall be
deemed to be effective as of 11:59 PM on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the local time for each location at which the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries conducts operations (“Local Closing Time”).

 

	4.	Seller Dividends. Section 5.05 of the Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the following sentences at the end thereof: 

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries may declare such dividends and approve such distributions as are permitted by the preceding sentences, and as to any such dividend or distribution that is
unpaid prior to the Closing, Buyer will cause the amount thereof to be paid as promptly as practicable after the Closing. In the case of a dividend or distribution paid in the manner contemplated by the preceding sentence, for purposes of preparing
the Closing Net Indebtedness Statement contemplated by Section 1.04 of the Agreement, the amount payable by the Company to Seller as of the Local Closing Time in respect of the Company shall be treated as Indebtedness. Any Taxes imposed on the
Company or any Company Subsidiary by reason of such dividend declarations or distribution approvals and the payments thereof shall be subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii) of the Agreement. 
 
5. Section 338(g) Tax Elections. Section 6.08 of the Agreement is

as of the Closing.
