RECITALS

A.        The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are party to that certain credit agreement dated as of September 28, 2007 (as previously amended, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the Credit Agreement.

B.        The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the undersigned Lenders wish to amend the Credit Agreement and waive certain provisions thereof on the terms and conditions set forth below.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual execution hereof and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.        Amendment to Credit Agreement. Upon the “Effective Date” (as defined below), the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a)        Section 1.01 is amended by inserting the following definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:

Specified Acquisition” means the acquisition by a subsidiary of the Borrower of the stock or assets comprising the business of a company previously identified in writing (including by electronic communication) to the Administrative Agent for aggregate consideration not in excess of $100,000,000, of which not more than $50,000,000 shall be paid at closing with the balance payable through the payment of an earnout; provided, however, that the total consideration payable for such acquisition (including the earnout) may exceed $100,000,000 to the extent resulting from higher than expected payments made under the earnout as a result of better than projected performance of Acquiring Sub following the date of the consummation of the Specified Acquisition (the amount of any such excess being the “Excess Amount”).

(b)        Section 6.02 is amended by adding the following as Section 6.02(i) and renumbering Section 6.02(i) as Section 6.02(j):

“(i)        Liens of suppliers on the assets of Persons or businesses acquired after the date hereof; provided, however, that (i) such Liens shall secure only the purchase price of inventory purchased from such suppliers on customary commercial terms consistent with past practice, (ii) the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid granting or permitting to exist such supplier Liens and (iii) in no event shall the aggregate amount secured by such Liens at any time exceed an amount equal to 10% of the book value of the total inventory of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the most recent date for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) prior to such time; and

(c)        Section 6.04(e) is amended in its entirety to read as follows:


(e)        subject to the provisions of this Section 6.04(e) and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) if the proposed Permitted Acquisition is for aggregate consideration of $25,000,000 or more, the Borrower shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice of such proposed Permitted Acquisition on the earlier of (x) the date on which the Permitted Acquisition is publicly announced and (y) ten (10) Business Days prior to consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (or such shorter period of time as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall be executed by its chief financial officer or treasurer and shall describe in reasonable detail the principal terms and conditions of such Permitted Acquisition; (iii) at the time of any such Permitted Acquisition involving the creation or acquisition of a Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other Equity Interest of any Person, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have complied with Section 5.11; and (iv) if the proposed Permitted Acquisition (or series of related Permitted Acquisitions) is for aggregate consideration of $50,000,000 or more, the Leverage Ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such Permitted Acquisition(s) had been made (and any related Indebtedness incurred) on the first day of the applicable computation period, shall be less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00;

(d)        Section 6.12 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Borrower will cause the Leverage Ratio to be less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 at all times.”

Acquiring Sub and its subsidiaries and their respective incomes, losses, assets, liabilities and other financial attributes shall be excluded from all computations of financial covenants and financial covenant-related tests or requirements hereunder.

(b)        Concurrently with any delivery of financial statements under clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.01 after the consummation of the Specified Acquisition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a consolidating set of financial statements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent which separately discloses the respective assets, liabilities and other financial attributes of Acquiring Sub and its Subsidiaries.
