          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
          1. Definitions. All terms used herein that are defined in the Financing Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Financing Agreement.
          2. Amendments.
               (a) New Definitions. Section 1.01 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions, in appropriate alphabetical order:
                    “Applicable Interest Rate” with respect to any Tranche hereunder, shall mean the interest rate which is applicable thereto, as set forth on Schedule 1.01(E) attached hereto and made a part hereof, which Schedule 1.01(E) may be supplemented by agreement of the parties in the event that any increase in Term Loan Commitments is requested by Borrower and authorized by Lender in accordance with Section 2.09.
                    “Second Amendment” means the Second Amendment to Financing Agreement, dated as of July ____, 2009, among the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders.
                    “Second Amendment Effective Date” means the date on which the Second Amendment shall become effective in accordance with its terms.”
               (b) Section 2.04 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
               Section 2.04 Interest. (a) Each Tranche of a Term Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from January 1, 2009 until such principal amount becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Interest Rate; provided, that, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04, all of such interest (the “PIK

 


 

Interest Amount”) shall be paid-in-kind by being added to the outstanding principal balance of such Tranche. Any interest to be capitalized shall be capitalized on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which such Tranche is made and added to the then outstanding principal amount of such Tranche and, thereafter, shall bear interest as provided hereunder as if it had originally been part of the outstanding principal of such Tranche.
               (c) Default Interest. To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Term Loans, fees, indemnities or any other Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Applicable Interest Rate plus 3%.
               (d) Interest Payment. Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04, interest on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:
                    (i) on each date Collections are received if sufficient Collections or other funds are available hereunder for the payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.05(d); and
                    (ii) on the Final Maturity Date;
     provided, that interest payable pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04 shall be payable on demand. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 4.01 with the amount of any interest payment due hereunder.
               (e) General. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day, elapsed.
          3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders as follows:
               (a) Representations and Warranties; No Event of Default. The representations and warranties herein, in Article VI of the Financing Agreement and in each other Loan Document, certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date are true and correct on and as of such date as though made on and as of such date (unless such representations or warranties are stated to relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), and no Default or Event of Default (except as expressly waived hereunder) has occurred and is continuing as of the Second Amendment Effective Date or would result from this Amendment becoming effective in accordance with its terms.

               (d) Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by the Borrower, and the performance of the Financing Agreement, as amended hereby (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority that has not been obtained, (ii) will not violate any applicable law, policy or regulation or the organizational documents of the Borrower or any order of any Governmental Authority, (iii) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower, or any of its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower, (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to its operations or any of its properties and (v) except for the Liens created by the Loan Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower.

               (c) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Second Amendment Effective Date or result from the Amendment becoming effective in accordance with its terms.
          5. Continued Effectiveness of the Financing Agreement and Other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby (i) acknowledges and consents to this Amendment, (ii) confirms and agrees that the Financing Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Second Amendment Effective Date all references in any such Loan Document to “the Financing Agreement”, the “Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean the Financing Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (iii) confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, or to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders a security interest in or Lien on, any Collateral as security for the Obligations of the Borrower from time to time existing in respect of the Financing Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents, such pledge, assignment and/or grant of the security interest or Lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Agreement does not and shall not affect any of the obligations of the Borrower, other than as expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreement, or the obligations of the Borrower under any Loan Document to which it is a party, all of which obligations shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agents or any Lender under the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document.
          6. Release. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Borrower and its Affiliates under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents and the Lenders wish (and the Borrower agrees) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Agents’ and the Lenders’ rights, interests, security and/or remedies under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the Borrower (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and

4


 

all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date arising out of, connected with or related in any way to this Amendment, the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of any Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of the Borrower, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or advances or the Collateral on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date.
          7. Miscellaneous.
               (a) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.
               (b) Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
               (c) This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
               (d) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Financing Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement if (i) any representation or warranty made by the Borrower under or in connection with this Amendment shall have been untrue, false or misleading in any material respect when made, or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Amendment.
               (e) Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
               (f) The Borrower will pay on demand all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment or otherwise payable under the Financing Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Agents.
