(c) Maximum Ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Equity. Permit the ratio of (i) Total Indebtedness to (ii) Total Adjusted Equity at any time to exceed 4.25 to 1.0.

(d) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. Permit, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (i) EBITDA for the period of twelve (12) consecutive months ended on such date (if such date is the last day of a fiscal quarter) or most recently ended prior to such date (if such date is not the last day of a fiscal quarter) to (ii) Interest Expense for such period to be less than 1.5 to 1.0.

Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (i) it has the power to execute, deliver and perform its respective obligations under this Amendment, (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by it for good and valuable consideration, and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles, and (iii) neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, nor compliance by it with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) its Organizational Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement),

2

(B) any Contractual Obligation (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to which it is now a party or the rights under which have been assigned to it or the obligations under which have been assumed by it or to which its assets are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its assets, other than pursuant to this Amendment, (C) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to it, or (D) any applicable requirement of any Law, in the case of clauses (B)-(D) above, to the extent that such conflict or breach is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 15 of the Guaranty remain true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

4. Affirmation and Ratification.

(a) The Guaranty, as modified by this Amendment, remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and affirmed by Guarantor. The provisions of this Amendment shall be deemed to have prospective application only. This Amendment is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation. Guarantor hereby reaffirms and admits the validity and enforceability of the Guaranty, as modified by this Amendment.

(b) This Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not be deemed (i) to be a consent granted pursuant to, or a waiver, modification or forbearance of, any term or condition of the Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, whether or not known to Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, or (ii) to prejudice any right or remedy which Administrative Agent or any Lender may now have or have in the future against any Person under or in connection with the any Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c) Each reference in the Guaranty to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in each other Loan Document (and the other documents and instruments delivered pursuant to or in connection therewith) to this Guaranty, whether direct or indirect, shall mean and be a reference to the Guaranty as modified by this Amendment and as the Guaranty may in the future be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

5. Loan Document; Expenses. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document. Without limitation of the foregoing, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and any other documentation contemplated hereby (whether or not this Amendment becomes effective or the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated and whether or not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing), including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by telecopier or electronic mail (in a .pdf format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. This Letter Agreement may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by Administrative Agent of a manually signed paper hereof which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into .pdf format), or an electronically signed communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.
