RECITALS

WHEREAS, effective as of August 4, 2010, MergerCo was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity; and

WHEREAS, the Companies and the Sponsor desire to amend the terms of the Agreement as set forth below.

AGREEMENT

Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. The definition of “Annual EBITDA” as set forth in Section 2 of the Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

“For purposes of this Agreement, “Annual EBITDA” means Consolidated EBITDA as defined in and computed in accordance with the Credit Agreement in effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Merger Agreement) provided, however, that the following items shall be excluded from the amount calculated pursuant to clause (b) of such definition of Consolidated EBITDA (and, as a result, the definition of Annual EBITDA shall not reflect any addition or increase in respect of any of the following items):

1. any costs paid or incurred in connection with being a public company prior to the Closing Date and through the fiscal quarter of the Company ending September 30, 2010;

2. any costs, charges, accruals and reserves in connection with any integration, transition, facilities openings, vacant facilities, consolidations, relocations and closings, permitted acquisitions and dispositions, business optimization (including relating to systems design, upgrade and implementation costs), customer disputes, restructuring, severance, severance and curtailments or modifications to pension or postretirement employee benefit plans; and

3. the amount of “run-rate” cost savings and synergies projected by the Company in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken or expected in good faith to be taken within 12 months following the end of such period (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions.

The following items shall be added back to the amount calculated pursuant to clause (b) of such definition of Consolidated EBITDA (and, as a result, the definition of Annual EBITDA shall be increased by the following items):

4. Losses incurred from the repatriation of cash outside of the ordinary course.

Each item set forth above shall be determined from the face of the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto for such fiscal year; provided, however, that any such item not included on the face of the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto shall be derived from the books and records of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no double counting or duplication of any of the excluded or added back items above.”

2. Section 9 of the Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“9. Notice. All notices, demands, and communications required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and will be effective if served upon such other party and such other party’s copied persons as specified below to the address set forth for it below (or to such other address as such party will have specified by notice to each other party) if (i) delivered personally, (ii) sent and received by facsimile or (iii) sent by certified or registered mail or by Federal Express, UPS or any other comparably reputable overnight courier service, postage prepaid, to the appropriate address as follows:
