(b) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the time by which the Borrowers shall be required to deliver their annual financial statements under Section 6.1(a) for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2002, their quarterly financial statements under Section 6.1(b), and the corresponding Compliance Certificates under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement, for the fiscal quarters ended September 28, 2002, March 29, 2003 and June 28, 2003, respectively, is hereby extended to the earlier of: (i) the date by which the Lead Borrower files with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Form 10Q reports for the fiscal quarters ended September 28, 2002, March 29, 2003 and June 28, 2003, respectively, and its Form 10K report for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2002, or (ii) October 31, 2003.
