NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants of the parties hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
| 1. | Amendments. |
1.1. Definitions. Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions in proper alphabetical order:
“Amendment 2 Effective Date” means October 27, 2009.
“Deferred Amount” means the aggregate amount of deferred Monthly Amortization Payments and deferred Monthly Interest Payments from the Amendment 2 Effective Date through and including the Deferred Payment Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Deferred Amount shall include all Monthly Amortization Payments and Monthly Interest Payments in respect of Deferred Pension Payments whether such Deferred Pension Payments exist as of the Amendment 2 Effective Date or arise thereafter by way of the execution of additional Joinders.

“Deferral Termination Event” shall have the meaning set forth in the Senior Credit Facility as of the Amendment 2 Effective Date.
2
“Deferring Fund” means each Fund that delivered a signature page to Amendment 2 designating itself as a “Deferring Fund” on or prior to the Amendment 2 Effective Date.
“Financial Officer” means the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of any Primary Obligor.
“Monthly Amortization Payment” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.01 of this Agreement.
“Monthly Interest Payment” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.02 of this Agreement.
“Recapitalization Transaction” shall have the meaning set forth in the Senior Credit Facility as of the date hereof (without giving effect to the right of the Supermajority Lenders (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) described therein to approve a percentage lower than 95% unless such lower percentage is (i) 90% or greater or (ii) is approved by the Supermajority Funds).
“Supermajority Funds” means, at any time, Funds with outstanding Deferred Pension Payments representing at least 90% of the sum of the total aggregate Deferred Pension Payments.
1.2. Amortization Deferral. Section 2.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Funds on a several basis and the Primary Obligors, on a joint and several basis, hereby agree that each of the Deferred Pension Payments shall not be made on their applicable Effective Dates, but instead, subject to clause (b) of this Section 2.01, shall be made by the Primary Obligors to the Funds in (i) one payment of $3,571,405 on or before June 30, 2009 and thereafter (ii) thirty-six equal monthly installments payable on the 15th day of each calendar month commencing January 15, 2010 (each, a “Monthly Amortization Payment”).
(b) Each of the Deferring Funds hereby agrees that if the Recapitalization Transaction is consummated on or before December 16, 2009 (or such later date as agreed by the requisite lenders under the Senior Credit Facility so long as the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) have not been permanently reduced pursuant to Section 2.09(d) of the Senior Credit Facility), subject to Section 2.05 hereof, each Monthly Amortization Payment due to such Deferring Fund from the date such Recapitalization Transaction is consummated
3
through the earlier of (i) December 31, 2010 (or such later date agreed to by the Supermajority Funds), and (ii) the Deferred Payment Termination Date, shall be deferred until December 31, 2011.
(c) To the extent a Monthly Amortization Payment due hereunder to a Deferring Fund is deferred pursuant to Section 2.01(b), such payment shall merely be deferred and shall in no event be (or be deemed to be) forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all such deferred Monthly Amortization Payments shall be due and payable in full in cash in accordance with Section 2.05. No Deferring Fund shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer the payment of any amortization owing to such Fund other than as expressly set forth in Section 2.01(b), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amortization payment owed on a date occurring on or after the Deferred Payment Termination Date.”
1.3. Interest Deferral. Section 2.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(a) Interest shall accrue with respect to each Deferred Pension Payment (or, as applicable, the unpaid portion thereof) at the Pension Interest Rate from its Effective Date until the date such Deferred Pension Payment has been paid to the applicable Fund in full. Subject to clause (b) of this Section 2.02, accrued interest on each Deferred Payment shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day of each calendar month commencing on July 15, 2009 and upon termination of this Agreement (each, a “Monthly Interest Payment”); provided, that all interest accruing and unpaid from each applicable Effective Date through the date such Fund becomes a party to this Agreement with respect to such Deferred Pension Payment shall be capitalized, compounded and added to the applicable Deferred Pension Payment, in each case as described on Schedules 1.01(a), (c), (d), (f) and (h). Interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be.
(b) Each of the Deferring Funds hereby agrees that if the Recapitalization Transaction is consummated on or before December 16, 2009 (or such later date as agreed by the requisite lenders under the Senior Credit Facility so long as the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) have not been permanently reduced pursuant to Section 2.09(d) of the Senior Credit Facility), subject to Section 2.05 hereof, each Monthly Interest Payment due to such Deferring Fund from the date such Recapitalization Transaction is consummated through
4
the earlier of (i) December 31, 2010 (or such later date agreed to by the Supermajority Funds), and (ii) the Deferred Payment Termination Date, shall be deferred until December 31, 2011.
(c) To the extent a Monthly Interest Payment due hereunder to a Deferring Fund is deferred pursuant to this Section 2.02(b), such payment shall merely be deferred and shall in no event be (or be deemed to be) forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all such deferred Monthly Interest Payments shall be due and payable in full in cash in accordance with Section 2.05. No Deferring Fund shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer the payment of any interest owing to such Fund other than as expressly set forth in Section 2.02(b), including for the avoidance of doubt, any interest payment owed on a date occurring on or after the Deferred Payment Termination Date.”
1.4. Mandatory Prepayments. Section 2.03(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“If the Liquidity of Parent and its subsidiaries minus any amount then due and owing under Section 2.12(l) of the Senior Credit Facility (as in effect on the date hereof) is greater than $250,000,000, the Obligors shall, within 5 Business Days, make a prepayment in respect of the Deferred Payments equal to the Excess Cash Amount; provided, that after giving effect to such payment, Liquidity shall be equal to $250,000,000; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03(b) in no event shall the Obligors be required to make such prepayment unless and until the Excess Cash Amount is equal to or greater than $1,000,000 at any time, irrespective of accrued and unpaid interest and fees then owed under the Senior Credit Facility.”
1.5. Payment of Deferred Amounts. Section 2.05 of the Agreement is hereby added as follows:
“Payment of Deferred Amounts. Upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment Termination Date, all Deferred Amounts shall be immediately due and payable in full in cash at the direction of the Majority Funds (or in the case of any Event of Default under clauses (e) or (f) of Article VIII hereof or any Deferral Termination Event occurring by the virtue of an event of default occurring under either clause (h) or clause (i) of Article VII of the Senior Credit Facility, immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default or Deferral Termination Event). In any event, all Deferred Amounts, to the extent not previously rendered due and
