1.2. Section 6.15(xi) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

"(xi) Acquisitions of other Persons made by the Borrower or a Subsidiary where:

	(a)		upon giving effect to each such Acquisition (1) the Person so acquired by the Borrower shall have either been merged into the Borrower or such Subsidiary (with the Borrower or such Subsidiary as the surviving entity) or such Person shall have become a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (and the Borrower shall have complied with Section 6.10 in respect of such Subsidiary) and (2) no Default or Unmatured Default does exist or would exist after giving effect to the proposed Acquisition; and

	(b)		prior to the date of such Acquisition, such Acquisition shall have been approved by the board of directors and, if applicable, the shareholders of the Person whose stock or assets are being acquired in connection with such Acquisition and no claim or challenge has been asserted or threatened by any shareholder or director of such Person which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Acquisition or a Material Adverse Effect; and

	(c)		if the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is greater than $50,000,000, then the Borrower shall have supplied the Lenders, at least 10 days prior to any such proposed Acquisition, with financial statements for the Person to be acquired for the most recently available twelve month period and pro forma financial statements for such Person and the Borrower on a consolidated basis, in a manner acceptable to the Agent, which shall demonstrate in the reasonable judgment of the Agent that, if such Acquisition were to be consummated, the Leverage Ratio would not exceed (i) 4.00 to 1.0 for the four-quarter periods ending on or before September 30, 2006, (ii) 3.75 to 1.0 for the four-quarter periods ending on or before September 30, 2008 and (iii) 3.50 to 1.0 for the four-quarter periods ending on December 31, 2008 and at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter (it being understood and agreed that if such historic and pro forma financial statements demonstrate, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, that the Leverage Ratio would exceed these limits, the Required Lenders’ consent shall be required for consummation of the proposed Acquisition).”

1.3. Section 6.19 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the word “and” before clause (iii) thereof and to add the following clause (iv) immediately after clause (iii):

“and (iv) pursuant to transactions expressly permitted elsewhere under this Agreement.”

2. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective and be deemed effective as of the date of satisfaction of the following conditions (the “Amendment Effective Date”), if, and only if, the Agent shall have received each of the following:

(a) duly executed signature pages of this Amendment from the Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(b) a reaffirmation from the Borrower of the Parent Guaranty and from each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries which are parties to a Subsidiary Guaranty in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof; and

3. Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby represent and warrant as follows:

(a) This Amendment and the Credit Agreement as previously executed and as amended hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers and are enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their terms.

(b) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrowers hereby reaffirm all covenants, representations and warranties made in the Credit Agreement and other Credit Documents, to the extent the same are not amended hereby, and agree that all such covenants, representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been remade as of the effective date of this Amendment.

4. Reference to the Effect on the Credit Agreement.

(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended previously and as amended hereby.

(b) Except as previously modified in writing, and as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect, and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any of the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

5. Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses charged to the Agent) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, arrangement, execution and enforcement of this Amendment.

6. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the conflict of law provisions) of the State of Illinois, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

7. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to the Amendment on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile signature page hereto sent to the Agent or the Agent’s counsel shall be effective as a counterpart signature and each party executing such a facsimile counterpart shall be deemed to agree to deliver originals to the Agent thereof.
