(w) Manner of Borrowing and Payment; Defaulting Lender; Certain Provisions Concerning the Collateral. Article 2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding new Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 thereto to read in their entirety as follows:

Section 2.14

Manner of Borrowing and Payment

(a) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.04(a), 2.05 or 2.09(b), commencing with the first Business Day following the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, each Revolving Borrowing shall first be advanced by the Swing Line Lender as a Swing Line Loan and each payment by the Borrower on account of Revolving Loans shall be applied first to Swing Line Loans advanced by the Swing Line Lender. On or before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (A) if the aggregate amount of new Swing Line Loans made during the preceding Week (if any)

- 12 -

exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Swing Line Loan and Revolving Loans during such preceding Week, then each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between (I) such new Swing Line Loans and (II) such repayments, which funds shall be deemed to be proceeds of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 have been satisfied) and (B) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Swing Line Loans during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new Swing Line Loans made during such Week, then the Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between (I) such repayments and (II) such Swing Line Loans.

(ii) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable interest rate on outstanding Revolving Loans which it has funded.

(iii) Promptly following each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Swing Line Loans made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.14(b) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand from the Borrower; provided that the Administrative Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the Borrower’s rights (if any) against such Lender.

(c) Any sums expended by the Administrative Agent or any Lender due to the Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligations under Sections 2.16, 6.04, 6.06(b) or 6.10, may be

- 13 -

charged to the Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Loan maintained as an ABR Loan and added to the Obligations

Section 2.15

Defaulting Lender

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (i) has failed or refused (which failure or refusal constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Extension of Credit or (ii) notifies either the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Extension of Credit (if the actual refusal would constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) (each, a “Lender Default”), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.15 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

(b) Extensions of Credit shall be incurred pro rata from Lenders (the “Non-Defaulting Lenders”) which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Extension of Credit required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of such Lender Default. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Extension of Credit shall be applied to reduce the applicable Extensions of Credit of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata based on the aggregate of the outstanding Extensions of Credit of that type of all Lenders at the time of such application; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender of any participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuer or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any

- 14 -

judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of Reimbursement Obligations for which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to the Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders” and “Super-Majority Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have either Extension of Credit outstanding or a Commitment Percentage.

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.15, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Without limiting the foregoing, the existence of a Defaulting Lender shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or others under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.

Section 2.16

Certain Provisions Concerning the Collateral

(a) The Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, block accounts or lockbox and related blocked accounts (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”) as the Co-Collateral Agents may require with the Blocked Account Bank or such other bank or banks as may be selected by the Borrower

All funds deposited in a Blocked Account shall immediately become the property of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall obtain the agreement by the Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. None of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender assumes any responsibility for any Blocked Account arrangement, including without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.

(b) Each Loan Party will, at such Loan Party’s sole cost and expense, but on the Administrative Agent’s behalf and for the Administrative Agent’s account, collect as the Administrative Agent’s property and in trust for the Administrative Agent all amounts received by it on Accounts Receivable or any other Collateral, and shall not commingle such collections with such Loan Party’s funds or use the same except to deliver to the Administrative Agent, or deposit in a Blocked Account, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and the Administrative Agent’s security interest in, the Accounts Receivable to any and all account debtors thereon or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts Receivable, take possession of the Collateral, or both. The Administrative Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telecopy, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to the Borrower’ Account and added to the Obligations.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Accounts Receivable, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power (i) at all times: (A) to endorse such Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (B) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of

- 16 -

the Accounts Receivable, drafts against account debtors, assignments and verifications of Accounts Receivable; (C) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any account debtor; and (D) to sign such Loan Party’s name on all financing statements or any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrative Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: (A) to demand payment of the Accounts Receivable; (B) to enforce payment of the Accounts Receivable by legal proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of such Loan Party’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts Receivable and any other Collateral; (D) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Accounts Receivable; (E) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts Receivable; (F) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any account debtor; (G) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Accounts Receivable; and (H) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. The Co-Collateral Agents shall (following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) have the right at any time to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as the Co-Collateral Agents may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 2.16(c); provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action.

(e) None of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts Receivable or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, without notice or consent from any Loan Party, xxx upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Accounts Receivable or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. The Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to accept the return of the goods represented by any of the Accounts Receivable, without notice to or consent by the Borrower, all without discharging or in any way affecting any Loan Party’s liability hereunder.

(f) No Loan Party will, without the Administrative Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any Accounts Receivable (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises,
