NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Reference to Note Purchase Agreement. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 24, 2003, as amended by the First Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 18, 2004, among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Documentation Agent (as amended on or prior to the date hereof and as it may be further amended or amended and restated from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Note Purchase Agreement have the same meanings herein as therein, except to the extent that such meanings are amended hereby.
2. Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement. The Credit Parties, the Lenders, and the Agents agree that Section 7.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of the date hereof, by deleting the reference to “$2,000,000” in clause (v) of the proviso at the end of said section and replacing it with “$10,000,000.”
3.

Counterparts of Amendment.

Other Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents as any Agent or Special Counsel shall have reasonably requested.
Expenses. The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the date hereof, including, to the extent invoiced, all reasonable expenses, including legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby and the reimbursement or payment of all other out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower under the Note Purchase Agreement.
5. Miscellaneous.

Whenever the terms or sections amended hereby shall be referred to in the Note Purchase Agreement, Loan Documents or such other documents (whether directly or by incorporation into other defined terms), such defined terms shall be deemed to refer to those terms or sections as amended by this Amendment. The foregoing waivers shall apply solely to the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement specified herein for the periods and purposes specified herein. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a modification, amendment or waiver of any other term or condition of the Note Purchase Agreement.
This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.
This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
