effect to all prior reductions thereto, but for purposes of such calculation
reducing the Final Tranche II Scheduled Repayment by the aggregate principal
amount of New Tranche II Term Loans then outstanding), with the entire amount of
such prepayment to be applied only to the repayment of Existing Tranche II Term
Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then outstanding amount of Existing
Tranche II Term Loans);
(F) if on any date any amount to be applied
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.02(h) of the Credit Agreement is to be
applied (x) to reduce any Interim Tranche II Scheduled Repayments, the amount to
be so applied shall be applied only to the repayment of Existing Tranche II Term
Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then outstanding amount of Existing
Tranche II Term Loans) or (y) to reduce the Final Tranche II Scheduled

amount equal to (x) the amount to be applied to reduce the Final Tranche II
Scheduled Repayment at such time multiplied by (y) the Existing Tranche II Term
Loan Percentage shall be applied to the repayment of the Existing Tranche II
Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the then outstanding amount of Existing
Tranche II Term Loans) and (2) the balance shall be applied to the payment of
the New Tranche II Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the then outstanding
amount of New Tranche II Term Loans); and
(G) on the date of each repayment of outstanding
Tranche II Term Loans (excluding any repayment in full of all then outstanding
Tranche II Term Loans) the respective repayments of principal shall be allocated
amongst the then outstanding Borrowings in a manner consistent with the
foregoing requirements of this clause (ix).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or
elsewhere in this Tenth Amendment, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Lender
shall be required to provide any New Commitment, except to the extent agreed in
writing by such Lender with the Borrowers (with each Lender being entitled in
its sole discretion not to furnish any New Commitment).
Without limiting the representations and warranties contained

Credit Event), the Borrowers represent and warrant that all extensions of credit
pursuant to the New Commitments (or which would be in excess of the amount
permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement in the absence of the New
Commitments), shall in each case be permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause
(a) or clause (i) of the second paragraph, or pursuant to the first paragraph,
of Section 5.9 of the Senior Secured Bridge Note Agreement (so long as same is

limitation, as to the fact that Borrowings of Tranche
II Term Loans will consist exclusively of either
Existing Tranche II Term Loans or New Tranche II Term
Loans)."
(d) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting,
immediately after the end of Section 4.04 thereof, the following new provision:
"4.05. Special Provisions with respect to
Tranche II Term Loans. At any time after the first

Tenth Amendment, it is acknowledged and agreed that,
with respect to Tranche II Term Loans, the provisions
of preceding Sections 4.01 through 4.03, inclusive,

limitation, as to the fact that repayments of Tranche
II Term Loans shall be allocated amongst the Existing

(vi) of Section 7(b) of the Tenth Amendment, has
actually occurred."
14
(i) Section 9.04(viii)(B) of the Credit Agreement is
amended by inserting, immediately after the words "pursuant to Section

not to the New Tranche II Term Loans. The Assignee is

certain overriding provisions with respect to the
Existing Tranche II Term Loans and the New Tranche II
Term Loans and, if the assignment effected hereby
involves any Tranche II Term Loans, the Assignee is
familiar with the terms thereof. Furthermore, the
Assignee agrees to keep records of its outstanding
New Tranche II Term Loans as opposed to the
outstanding principal of its Existing Tranche II Term
Loans, if any, and agrees that if it makes any
assignment or participation of any Tranche II Term
Loans it shall clearly provide in the relevant
documentation whether (and to what extent) the

Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and
under the other Credit Documents.
