EXHIBIT N

AUCTION PROCEDURES

This Outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms of Auction procedures with respect to Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, of which this Exhibit N is a part.  It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of an Auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable Auction Procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”).  None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Term Loans to the Borrower pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Auction as a Lender) or the Borrower should purchase any Term Loans from the Lenders pursuant to any Auction.  Each Lender should make its own decision as to whether to sell any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans.  In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning this Auction and the Offer Documents.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit N have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Summary.  The Borrower may make Discounted Voluntary Prepayments by conducting one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein.  

Notice Procedures.  In connection with each Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice in form and substance satisfactory to the Auction Manager (an “Auction Notice”).  Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to purchase in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of thereof; (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000, at which the Borrower would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Auction; and (iii) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended for a period not exceeding three Business Days upon notice by the Borrower to the Auction Manager not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time;provided,however, that only one extension per Offer shall be permitted.    

Reply Procedures.  In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Return Bid”), to be included in the Offer Documents, which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”);provided, that each Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Lender at such time.  The Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (defined below) and each of which willnot be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid.  In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Borrower Assignment and Acceptance”).  The Borrower will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).  

Acceptance Procedures.  Based on the Reply Price and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow the Borrower to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids).  The Borrower shall purchase Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All principal amount of Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.  If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price in cash equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.  

Proration Procedures.  All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price;provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Borrower shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.  

Notification Procedures.  The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the next Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due.  The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Borrower onto each applicable Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.  Upon written request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.  

Additional Procedures.  Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrower may withdraw an Auction by written notice to the Auction Manager no later than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time so long as no Qualifying Bids have been received by the Auction Manager at or prior to the time the Auction Manager receives such written notice from the Borrower.  Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled;provided that a Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid.  However, an Auction shall become void if the Borrower fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement.  The purchase price for each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be paid in cash by the Borrower directly to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Borrower (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due).  The Borrower shall execute each applicable Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.   

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be final and binding.  The Auction Manager’sinterpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Borrower, will be final and binding.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Loan Parties, or any of their affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.  

Immediately upon the consummation of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Term Loans subject to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and all rights and obligations as a Lender related to such Term Loans shall for all purposes (including under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender under the Credit Agreement or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

This Exhibit N shall not require the Borrower to initiate any Auction.
