The Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement amends the Original Agreement to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the receivables sale facility to July 2010, reduce the cost of utilizing the receivables sale facility and modify certain financial covenants.

The Amended Credit Agreement amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify certain financial covenants.
