4. Covenants. The Company covenants that:

(a) As soon as available, but not later than noon Chicago time on Wednesday, January 21, 2009, it will provide the Administrative Agent financial projections for available alternatives prepared by the Company with the assistance of AlixPartners, which projections shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Company shall take such actions requested by the Collateral Agent from time to time to cause the payment of any income tax refunds for which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has applied or may apply to be made directly to the Collateral Agent, and in any event immediately upon receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any such refund, the Company shall deposit or cause the deposit of such refund with the Collateral Agent.
