6. Amendment
to Section 2.04. Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement shall be
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Section

Loans. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the
Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the Sweep Documentation, to make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans
to
the Borrowers from time to time, which Swing Loans: (i) shall be

Loan. To the extent the terms of this Agreement and the Sweep
Documentation conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Swing
Loan Refunding. The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its
sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be
refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent,
specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof
to
the Lenders with Revolving Commitments and, unless an Event of Default specified
in Section 8.01(h) in respect of the Borrowers have occurred, the Borrower
Representative. Each such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be
deemed to constitute delivery by the Borrower Representative of a Notice
of
Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the
amount
of the Swing Loans to which it relates. Each Lender with a Revolving
Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees
(notwithstanding that any of the conditions
4
specified
in Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied,
but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to make a Revolving
Loan
to the Borrowers in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of
the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding relates. Each such Lender shall make the amount of such
Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment
Office), if such notice is received by such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (local
time at its domestic lending office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local
time at
the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received
by such
Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be
made immediately available to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to
repay
the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding relates.
(c) Swing
Loan Participation. If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would
otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of
Swing
Loan Refunding, any of the events specified in Section 8.01(h) shall have
occurred in respect of the Borrowers or one or more of the Lenders with
Revolving Commitments shall determine that it is legally prohibited from
making
a Revolving Loan under such circumstances, each Lender (other than the Swing
Line Lender), or each Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited,
as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been
made
by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest
(a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which
such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing Loan
Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage
of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such
Lender or each such Lender so prohibited, as the case may be, shall pay to
the
Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Swing Loan
Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender
shall, if requested by such other Lender, deliver to such Lender a participation
certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds
from, and evidencing such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in, such Swing Loans
and its Swing Loan Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any
amount required to be paid by a Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant
to the
above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on
the
date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
on
demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds
Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in
full. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received
from any other Lender such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, the Swing
Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Borrowers on account
of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute
to
such Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Facility
Percentage of such amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan
Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments,
to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was
outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment
received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender
will
return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed
to it
by the Swing Line Lender.
(d) Obligations
Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans
pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations
in
connection with a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be subject to the
conditions that (i) such Lender shall have received a Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) at the time the
Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were
made, the Swing Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice
from
another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing,
but
otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit
of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of
5
Swing
Loan Refunding, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including,
without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other
right that such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Loan Party,
or any
other Person, or any Loan Party may have against any Lender or other Person,
as
the case may be, for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance
of
a Default or Event of Default, (C) any event or circumstance involving a
Material Adverse Effect, (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any party
thereto, or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.”

be amended and restated as follows:

subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each LC Issuer
agrees to issue from time to time Letters of Credit denominated and payable
in
Dollars and in each case in such form as may be approved by such LC Issuer
and
the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that

(ii) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure
plus the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding would exceed the
Total Revolving Commitment, or (iv) the Borrowers would be required to prepay
Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13(c)
hereof. Subject to Section 2.05(c) below, each Letter of Credit shall
have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than
the
earlier of (y) one year from the date of issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business
Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date.”

(local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such
Borrowing.”
9. Amendment
to Section 2.06(b). Section 2.06(b) of the Credit Agreement shall
be amended and restated as follows:
“(b) Notice
of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing (other than a
Continuation or Conversion or the incurrence of a Swing Loan) shall be made
by
an Authorized Officer by delivering written notice of such request substantially
in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of
Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by
delivery by an Authorized Officer of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event
each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate
principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii)
the
date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of
Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (iv) if applicable, the initial
Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the
Borrower Representative to confirm in
6
writing
any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative
Agent
may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the
basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good

Swing Loan Participations, and LC Participations, as the case may be, are
several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for
any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any
participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans
provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded
by
it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any
of
its Commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder
and
in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers
may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
hereunder.”

(v) as
a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrowers to repay or prepay
any
Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an
election made pursuant to Section 3.05(b). The written request of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower
Representative and
10
shall
be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender

the
Loan Parties contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be true
and
correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such
representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such

expressly relate to an earlier specified date, in which case such
representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material
respects as of the date when made.
The
acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent,
the
Swing Line Lender, each LC Issuer and each of the Lenders that all of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 have been
satisfied as of the times referred to in such Sections.”

Participations, Swing Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are
intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or an LC Issuer and
amounts payable to a Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect
to
the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion
than the total of such Obligation then
11
owed
and
due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due
to
all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender
receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders
in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of
the
Lenders in such amount.”
27. Amendment
to Section 11.06(c)(i). Section 11.06(c)(i) of the Credit
Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
