“(vii) a Negative Pledge contained in any agreement evidencing or governing Indebtedness (including credit facilities and debt securities) otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Agreement, so long as the Borrower determines in good faith (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) that such Negative Pledge, taken as a whole, is no more restrictive in any material respect than the restrictions in Section 7.01(b), or that such Negative Pledge is otherwise in a form customary for similar agreements for comparable borrowers or issuers at such time; and”

SECTION 5.    Amendment to Schedule 10.02.  The U.S. taxpayer identification number of the Borrower listed on Schedule 10.02 is hereby replaced by the following U.S. taxpayer identification number: 58-1493818.

SECTION 7.    Condition to Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective on the date on which the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders either a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such party or written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy or other electronic transmission of a signed signature page of this Amendment) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Amendment.

SECTION 8.    Continuing Effect; No Other Amendments or Consents.

(a)      Except as expressly provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect. The amendment provided for herein is limited to the specific subsection of the Credit Agreement specified herein and shall not constitute a consent, waiver or amendment of, or an indication of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ willingness to consent to any action requiring consent under any other provisions of the Credit Agreement or the same subsection for any other date or time period. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment set forth herein, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “the Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

(b)      The Borrower agrees with respect to each Loan Document to which it is a party that all of its obligations and liabilities under such Loan Document shall remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Loan Document after giving effect to this Amendment.
