NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS & TERMINATION. Effective on and as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 2 of this Amendment):

1.1 AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE 1. Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as set forth at Exhibit A to this Amendment.

1.2 AMENDMENT OF SECTION 1.1. The definition of “ Additional Security Document ” is hereby deleted from Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement.

1.3 AMENDMENT OF SECTION 2.7(F). Section 2.7(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(f) Interest Rate Margins. As used herein the terms “ Applicable Prime Rate Margin ”, “ Applicable Eurocurrency Margin ” and “ Applicable Commitment Fee Rate ” shall mean the particular rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Pricing Grid Table which appears below, based on the Borrower’s ratio of Consolidated Total Funded Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA for the Testing Period most recently ended and the following provisions:

(A) On the Amendment Effective Date, until changed hereunder in accordance with the following provisions, the Applicable Prime Rate Margin for Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans will be 0.00 basis points per annum, the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Revolving Loans will be 34.00 basis points per annum, and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be 8.00 basis points per annum.

 


(B) Commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended on or nearest to December 31, 2006, and continuing with each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Administrative Agent will determine the Applicable Prime Rate Margin or Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for any Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in accordance with the Pricing Grid Table, based on the Borrower’s ratio of (x) Consolidated Total Funded Debt as of the end of the fiscal quarter, to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the Testing Period ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter, as identified in such Pricing Grid Table. Changes in the Applicable Prime Rate Margin, Applicable Eurocurrency Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate based upon changes in such ratio shall become effective on the first day of the month following the receipt by the Administrative Agent pursuant to section 8.1(a) or (b) of the financial statements of the Borrower, accompanied by the certificate and calculations referred to in section 8.1(c), demonstrating the computation of such ratio, based upon the ratio in effect at the end of the applicable period covered (in whole or in part) by such financial statements.

(D) Any changes in the Applicable Prime Rate Margin or Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the above provisions and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this section 2.7(f) shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
